it is this war that brought huge numbers of boat people to the wee isle, who assumed they could seek refuge 'ere. but as the islet could ill afford to do so - one of which is the myriad of social problems that would inevitably arise - they were housed instead in a temporary camp. and hoping to resettle in first world countries.
but of course there were spates of incident's inside the camp, like riots and suicides. and general annoyance towards the islet's total inacceptance to accomodate 'em. they didn't realise of course the islet was a third world country back then [erm, still is now, judgin by the ape mentality]. apart from its pitifully *wee* size.
besides, the fact that many of 'em troops descended upon the wee isle for their R&R throughout the war; i wonder if a third cousin got to know her ex-husband, a US Marine, at one of those seedy bar's.
