History controversial review: Boat people period (1975–1995) as a strategic move of the Vietnam war extension.

This writing is a lesson note about strategic management in the Vietnam war for historians' graduate studies.

As per definition, the war in a specific region is ended when the death toll by non-natural causes in that region is dropped dramatically, but it did not happen in Vietnam after 1975 (1). Millions people from the North and the South rushed to boat toward “something” over the Pacific and only some survived.

Survivors claimed their reason to go was “ for their freedom” but they did not define what kind of “freedom” they had and wished to have. Other survivors claimed “the government’s discrimination policies” but they did not define what the discrimination policies were to push them to choose suicide. Other survivors claimed for “anti-communist” reasons, but most of them did not realize the propaganda had been inputted into their minds.

I believed the boat people were the victims of a secret war, the Vietnam-war extension.

Because war is a strategically political move, some think tanks could develop such the war-extension agenda to further their interest. Yes, they succeeded and the war was extended up to 20 years.

The totalitarian regime in Vietnam has been stupid in this extension of war strategy and should be responsible for not being able to prevent and lower such a huge death loss. But that is the tip of the iceberg and it is not enough for the victims’ and their families’ anger, resentment, and concussion in generations. We all know any war has at least two to tango.

The questions for historians are:

1. What were the hidden powers which pushed millions of people to act as suicide like that?
2. What were the designers of such an agenda interests? Did they achieve what they wanted?

There will be some questions that historians could not find out forever because of the involvement of some dangerous and powerful figures, so some adventurous fictional writers can explore some never-answered questions like:

1. Who were persons trying to extend the war?
2. Why did they do that?
3. When did they start to plan?
4. What did they do?
5. Where are they now? (hope they could rest with the consequences of their plan)
6. What are the reactions when the victims and their families understand the nature of the war extension? (hope there is no more vengeance in the future)

Hope we can do more deep research on this topic.

In Peace We Trust!
