I spent only eight months in South Vietnam (Dec 71 to Aug 72).
I had quite a few relations with the women there. I found them to be extremely sensitive, loving and caring. The myth that they were only trying to get out of there is true but to find a better life for themselves and their families.
RamJet,
What a wonderful story. I think you probably captured the situation there about as well as anyone could have done. I enjoyed your story very much.

One of the best post-war stories I've ever written. Very touching. Very realistic.
very well told...exceptional use of graphical language...made me feel as i was the one having sex....well done.
Great story! Perhaps you should pen a sequel about Jim and Tara's renuion.
I can connect with this story, we left too many good people behind after the Fall and they weren't all American
Very well written story, especially the love scene. Just a little "but": in 1978 war in Vietnam was already over, for US...
I submit that you need to write a sequel to this story. I would suggest having Jim go back to Janet, they marry, she dumps him after a couple of years because she wants to be a partner in a law firm and does not want children and he does. Haunted by his memories of Tara, he takes some of the money from the divorce settlement and returns to Hanoi to find her. Suitable adventures, they find each other, and they move someplace where they can be happy together as a married couple. BE sure to include a lot of the sexual adventures and interludes as you have in this story.
SirGalahad really produced a great outline for a follow-up. Some talented writer should do something with it. Why should Becker suffer for a lifetime?
