Desertion rises as Vietnam war deserters flood south
In a briefing on hoi chanh defections, the article notes about 1,000 a day desert, totaling over 126,000 since 1963. It argues few have ideological zeal, most are peasants driven by fear and coercion, with only minor ranks defecting. It cites Nguyen Tai Thanh’s tale of desertion after brutal combat.
