In early 1975 the South Vietnamese Army lost twenty planes in a failed effort to defend a key province Phuoc Longe. The North Vietnamese leaders took advantage of the lack of response from the U.S. to the siege of the planes and started to move more aggressively in the South. This was a stepping stone to Vietnam getting the United States out of the country. Some people in Vietnam thought that it was patriotic to be happy that the U.S.A has left the country.
