Just curious does this get much coverage in the US or does the media/government prefer to keep it low key and quiet?

How do we know what the media/government prefers?

It's pretty sad that the US congress denied funding for the war and allowed the communists to overrun the free people of S Vietnam.

It was all over CNN headline news this morning. You couldn't get away from the coverage on that channel. Dunno about the major networks, I rarely watch anything on the pablum and diarhea channels anymore.

Yea, it was all over the news along with the expected comments from the commies such as how well VN is doing since it was "unified" and how great the people thought it was now.
Average income per household---$500.00 to $550.00 per year.

The only thing missing was a comment on the up and coming tour bus vacation packages to be implemented by Zulu.

:D

No,but the "Domino Effect" is going to happen any day now.  :lol

Must be quite disgruntling for some  to see how well Vietnam has done on it's own after decades of war.

I know a few people who had rich families in VN that lost everything and fled VN after the communists took over. They had their family businesses taken by the communists.

So what? Millions lost alot more then just a wealthy family business or two.

Unfortunetly both Australia & NZ were dragged into the war costing my cousin his life. I really don't care about some family business being lost.

Well.... they aren't at war with each other, like they used to be.
Most people doesn't have grudge agains't the states and many would like to visit the states.
Education is government backed.

Doesn't sound to me like they'd be doing too bad.
Of course it isn't perfect, but could be worse and getting worse, but its getting better.
