The Secret Unit of Vietnamese Defectors who TERRORISED the Viet Cong Explained

In this video, we discuss the Vietnamese soldiers who defected to fight alongside the Americans in the Vietnam War, and we're doing this with the help of historian Stefan Aguirre Quiroga, whose article on the agency and motivation of Kit Carson Scouts in the Vietnam War was recently published in "War & Society."
