Few GIs Marry Vietnamese Women Due to Time Limits
Pentagon data show 100 marriages to Vietnamese girls in 1965, 119 in 1966, 160 in 1967, and 66 through April 15 1968, with 90 days for immigration papers and one year Vietnam tours limiting marriage. Defense policy seeks to prevent impetuous unions as GIs may not reenter after leaving Vietnam until processing completes. Some 1,000 GIs reportedly live with Korean wives in Korea.
