Vietnamization was a total catastrophe, they were never going to be trained enough and have the fortitude to protect their own country and fight against other Vietnamese. These are rice farmers trying to build and army.
I don't know about this, just about everything I've read regarding the South Vietnamese Marines showed them in a very positive light as a legitimate fighting force.
