#1 Snopes and Urban Legends@about.com don't have anything, and Besoeker linked to what appears to be Caddis Advertising's website. The website looks awfully real, and has an endorsement from what appears to be a genuine military officer. A proper journalist would confirm that all involved do actually exist in the analog world, but for our purposes I'd say it's confirmed as true enough to be going on with.

#2 Thanks TW. I'm a sucker for stories like this one, as I am very proud to know some of these Southeast Asian survivors rather personally, not to mention a few other who were put out of their native lands or escaped before they were raped and murdered. As many here are aware, the story of Quang Nguyen is hardly a 'one off'. I suppose his story and gratitude adds to my disdain for our current day entitlement and Snap crowd, but I digress.

#3 The whole story smacks of "What My Masters wish me to say".

So I say it.
