	Tay Son Dynasty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The name of Tay Son is used in many ways referring back to the period of peasant rebellions and decentralized dynasty established between the eras of the Le and Nguyen dynasties in history of Vietnam.
		The three Tay Son brothers styled themselves as the champions of the people, promising to evict the corrupt officials, such as the southern regent Nguyen Phuc Loan, and restore the legitimate authorities.
		Since the Tay Son were supported by the Vietnamese people, their enemies in every case had to rely on foreign armies to impose their rule over the country.

		Son Tay/Op KINGPIN was indeed an extraordinary success only marred by the fact that the POWs had already been shifted.
		I don't think info on conditions in the camp would've been altered by that much, AFAIK there was plenty of anecdotal evidence pre-Son Tay of the extreme privations suffered by captured Americans in NV POW camps, the successful rescue of prisoners from Son Tay would only have confirmed such accounts at the most.
		Perhaps another more immediate effect would've been the recognition for an indispensable integrated specops doctrine which could've avoided the MAYAGUEZ fiasco in 1975, where basically all the lessons of Son Tay were totally forgotten and the US Marines involved paid the price in blood.
