The hotels of Saigon were extremely popular with American troops. Saigon had a 10pm curfew - and hotel nightclubs that attracted the young, nubile Vietnamese women. After 10pm, their choices were to sleep on the floor in the corridors or to share a GI's bed. Sound bizarre? I witnessed it firsthand with the small group I was with en route to Hawaii for TDY, staying overnight before our MAC flight in the morning. As a (stupid?) married man, I didn't partake - but a couple of the guys did. Why? Well, I still remember how astonishingly beautiful many/most of these young women were. Really. Stunning. Jaw-droppingly.
