We didn't use the USD Money in Viet Nam but instead we used the Military Payment Certificate even for the small change.

I suppose it was because of the Vietnamese Black Market.

I purchased this Chinese SKS rifle several years ago. It is perfectly legal because it is a SEMI-AUTOMATIC version. I tagged several weapons that I personally captured but I never did get to bring one home with me. You know how that goes, THE GREAT BASE CAMP WAR HEROS took them I suppose. I just wanted one to keep for myself. It is a fine hunting rifle. It is listed as one of the top 10 best war rifles of all time along with it the Russian AK-47.
