Where is the Lost Tribe of Israel?
The notion of the ten lost tribes of Israel arose after the Assyrian destruction of Israel in 722 BCE. The Assyrians exiled many of the Israelites who were unable to flee south into Judah or Egypt. The exiles gradually assimilated into their host communities, adopted thel local religious cults and lost their separate ethnic identity. However, some are unwilling to accept the possibility that the Israelites so readily assimilated, when two hundred years later the Jews managed to retain their identity. Thus the notion that somewhere out there, there must still be the descendants of the Israelite exiles.
Since the Israelites assimilated into the various nations of the Assyrian empire, their descendants, the "lost tribes", will be some of the people among modern Assyrians, Iraqis, Syrians and so on. Occasionally some scholars try to investigate Middle Eastern family groups whose names suggest a possible Hebrew origin.

The NVA conducted conventional military offensive operations.
Vietnam soldiers were treated quite differently than soldiers returning from previous wars. This is because the Vietnam war itself caused great controversy in the US over whether we should be involved or not an many opposed it. When the soldiers returned home they were not greeted with fanfare and excitement. They were greeted with cold shoulders and no respect. Part of this is also due to the media that made the soldiers appear to be killers that destroyed entire civillian villages, which was not true. Many people even hated the soldiers that returned although there was rarely violence involved.

The Hmong people themselves say that they originally came from a cold northern homeland; this was probably the Huang He valley of northern China. Before that, they may have migrated from the Amur river valley in the far north in a wave of Austric invasion. They existed on the Huang He as a great and numerous people called the Dongyi by the ancients. But the Huaxia people came from Yunnan in the southwest and conquered the Dongyi kingdom; the combination of the Huaxia and the Dongyi became the nucleus of the Chinese people, while some Dongyi started an independent kingdom in Shandong. When the Chinese conquered this kingdom, many Dongyi fled across the sea and helped start the Korean and Japanese kingdoms. But the Dongyi who fled to the far south when the Huaxia first arrived became the Hmong people and their relatives.
