    A lot of these kids weren’t actually orphans but were placed in these orphanages temporarily by their parents due to instability with the intention of later retrieval.

    However for the Amerasian children (25% of these roughly), I agree that they should have been evacuated. As I mentioned elsewhere on the post, the discrimination and racism they faced after the war in Vietnam was awful.
