Now this I had not even imagined as a likely release. I have been begging for ARVN for a year or two, but somehow those with XX chromosomes I had never considered. Well Gringos40 did!

Very nice addition. There were a significant number of women ARVN. Often tasked with humanitarian work in the concentration camps – oops – strategic hamlets – their utility like much of the ARVN was questionable at best. Does not mean all were useless and just on the gravy train of course. Just the ARVN was doomed by corruption, incompetence and lack of motivation to achieve the US goals. They had their own agenda and it mostly revolved around enriching themselves or abusing the civilian population.

thank you Skarper the actual sculpt was inspired by Madame Ho Thi Que the legendary "Tiger Lady" who was a master sergeant ,her husband being a Major. and is really a homage to them both the other lady being Ho thi Ve who was to reach the rank of Lieutenant Colonel by the end of the war,and even published a facinating book on her time in the WAC and WAFC.
