Normally US servicemen returned home alone, they might have had some fellow GIs on the plane arriving back into the US, but once it landed, each man went his own way. Being alone, he sometimes ditched his uniform to avoid trouble and took a cab home; or he might wear his uniform home. In some cases he called on the pay telephone (no cells back then) for a personnel friend to pick him up from the airport. Bottom line: no cared, no one noticed. If anyone did care...they were often trouble makers (angry parents, relatives of a Viet War casualty blaming you for their son's death or disability; a hippie; a protester; a dirty look from average John Q. Citizen (or a smirk...like you deserved it sucker!). So rather than go off at the airport, just change your clothes and grab a cab, or call a friend, no fuss, no mess! The favorite tactic was to tell no one anything. Just land at the airport; catch a cab; knock on the window of a brother or sister, have them quietly open the door to let you in, then sack out on the couch. Waking up to mom's cooking! No one knows nothing! Just return home.

What was the communist's impact on Vietnam?
Communist Vietnam allows certain US movie producers to film documentaries in Vietnam, using Soviet supplied Vietnamese military helicopters to transport filming crews to and from locations. However, there is always Vietnamese military personnel present with the US film crews, to ensure conformity with communist doctrine. There are areas OFF LIMITs, such as certain "battle areas". SEE; Original Documentary filmed in Vietnam, when US Servicemen from the original "Battle of Ia Drang-1965" (We Were Soldiers Once...And Young) returned to Vietnam as visitors. The French are allowed MUCH more lee way in Vietnam, when making films (movies); with having spent over half a century in Vietnam, and with French a second language, maybe that's the reason.
