wyo1895,

Fyi, the last known uniformed US soldier, who left Saigon, was a MP E-6, who backed up the ramp of a CH-47, while holding a 870 riot-gun. = NOBODY tried to follow him aboard, either.

There is a framed photo of him in the MP Museum at "Fort Lost in the Woods".

ADDENDA: I spent about half of my Army career OCONUS & always found it "rather odd" that "foreigners", even in nations where FULL-AUTO firearms are commonplace (& even in places where the local police routinely are armed with SMG), see our US Armed Forces riot-shotguns as "excessively brutal"

yours, tex
