A lot of these kids weren't actually orphans but were placed in these orphanages temporarily by their parents due to instability with the intention of later retrieval.
However for the Amerasian children (25% of these roughly), I agree that they should have been evacuated. As I mentioned elsewhere on the post, the discrimination and racism they faced after the war in Vietnam was awful.
I don't see another comment from you in this thread, so not sure what's going on there.

I've been suspicious that I'm not seeing all comments and now I know it's true, so thanks for the proof. Not sure if it's a federation thing or Boost so I'll have to do some digging.
