There were no "Purges" in Vietnam.
IIRC there were, though of course not on a scale to rival Pol Pot & Co. However, that's beside the point: I was talking about Amerikan politics, not Asian history.

I'm SURE the citizens of Vietnam took good care of their traitors... To the best of my knowledge there were never any government organized purges. What angry citizens might have done to Special Forces installed "Provincial Governments" and errant unfortunate ARVN soldiers does NOT qualify as a purge. What Amerika did to it's labor unionists in the early 1900s does though. America's politics DEPEND on the belief in "Righteous wars" and I'm here to say The US has NEVER fought one. It's a myth.
