is that 200,000 figure correct???????
from
http://vietnam-war.commemoration.gov.au/aftermath/
(an australian government website)
the following is mentioned
Over ten years from 1976, 94,000 refugees from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam settled in Australia. About 2,000 arrived by boat.
and what a horrible nasty conflict that was - the death toll is mentioned
some 3.5 million people died in Vietnam, 60,000 were American, 521 were Australia
- and watso still recalls when lbj came to town - yes, there was a motorcade - and our brave and fearless leader at the time had his famous "all the way with lbj". lucky, that people eventually got sick of the war (too many dead) - and there were massive protests -
