During the 1970s, in South Vietnam, there was a popular
saying “Nhứt Thắng, Nhì Chinh, Tam Thanh, Tứ Trưởng = First Thắng, Second
Chinh, Third Thanh, Fourth Trưởng,” which revealed the
admiration of the people toward these four honest and incorruptible generals of
the ARVN in a country where the corruption has become something commonplace
among the political and military leaders.
