Because we wanted to bury it, to push it so far back under the rug that it could never be resurrected again, that's cause of your repeated question marks. Now for the details:

They were Russian made T-54's and T-55's, along with PT-76's, a lightly armored troop carrier, armed a 73mm smooth bore anti-armor weapon. In an earlier use of Soviet armor, in a battle north-north-west of Saigon in 1972, the drivers had been chained to their positions. In the 1975 invasion, the tank commanders in many vehicles were Soviet armor officers. Farmers, my happy ass - just more "poor agrarian reformers" looking for work in other people's acreage - umhummm --
