Of course, much has changed in Vietnam in the 17 years since this article was written, but some evidence of the repressive mentality still persists in Vietnam's political leadership, as evidenced in the 15 and 20 year prison sentences handed out to dissidents in recent years.

The Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces and the United States military in Vietnam were fighting against not only the Vietnamese Communist forces, but the whole Communist bloc as well.

 Collapse of the Republic of Vietnam Armes Forces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In analyzing leadership within the Republic of Vietnam's armed forces prior to the final collapse in 1975, three characteristics of the top military leaders come into sharp focus: incompetence, passivity and corruption.
This is not to say that these characteristics were exhibited by all of South Vietnam's military leaders nor that the required leadership to guide the RVNAF to success in 1975 was not available.
Such a system ensures its military leaders are chosen, promoted, and favored for political loyalty rather than professional military skill.2 Unfortunately for South Vietnam, this was the situation of the RVNAF top leadership in 1975.
