As the veteran and I went around talked and walked, he told me of a story about all the infrastructure that was built as the war efforts were being ramped up.
At first the Kissinger was seen as a hero because he started pouring money into the country and the people of Vietnam, at least in a some areas, were getting roads and building and infrastructure that they needed and wanted. There were air strips built, factories electricity and houses. Food was flowing into the space as the war birds touched down and put those GI boots on the ground.
The infrastructure and supplies the quality of life progress so quickly there was so much going on that it was had to keep track of says the veteran.
He tells me how the town flourished and there was so much happiness about what his people were getting and how it was coming so fast.
There was food in the markets and people had work. All people had somethings to do and the GI consumed a lot so there was always something to sell to them. This brought prosperity to the place during this time.
And here we have a look inside the hanger that had supplies and things all pilled up inside.
As the war raged on there came a time when the USA had to pull out of the place they spent so much money building.
And when they left, they bombed all the things that they have built. Leveled it destroyed the entire town. Look it up, it is fact. Sad truth of what we will see happen in the new war that is happening. Take heed Ukraine, this will not be the first time a country gets billions and then they have to pay an even heavier price. The entire destruction of all that was freely given was taken away at and even greater devastating cost of years of death ahead.
