Old battlefields haunt Vietnam war memory and ghostly presences
The article recounts how former U.S. battlefields like Lien Drang, Hamburger Hill, Con Thien, Dak To, Khe Sanh, and Mary Ann Base in Vietnam are now under North Vietnamese control or former sites used by enemy forces. It describes Vietcong and North Vietnamese occupations, the Vod rebalance after Vietnamization, and the lingering toll on U.S. soldiers with bases serving as bases for attacks. It notes notable sieges and battles, including Pleiku, Quang Tri, and Kontum Provinces, and reflects on shifting control and the enduring legacy of these sites.
