>Although Vietnam keeps its head down and is welcoming and nice to US, they're still a single party system named the Communist Party dabbling in marxist and modern state capital systems.

In our lifetime we will again see the US Navy based at Cam Ranh Bay, and the USAF based at Tan Son Nhut. (Same with Subic and Clark in the Philippines.)
