As the Vietnam War drew to a close, the U.S. government's refusal to acknowledge or plan for the approaching final days led to chaos in the last hours of Saigon's fall. As U.S. personnel and members of the South Vietnamese army were hurriedly evacuated, South Vietnamese citizens who had aided the losing side learned that they would be left behind.
