One of the posted rules was, "2. Don’ t become involved in political discussions."
In this picture, nothing like what I remember from October '67. Yes horse and people drawn vehicles, but all downtown paved streets. The "hotel" itself was a transit barracks for us arriving at tan sa nhut air base (air port?) to stay at en route to our duty station. It was also an R&R (if recovering from actual combat can be called recreation) place for front line Marines and Army to rest for a week or so (lots of PTSD yelling at night). My stay right out of Boot Camp was a couple of weeks while my ship was located. It had been a French hotel and even all cleared out inside was still impressive, polished floors and a grand staircase, the military accoutrements being multiple sets of metal bunk beds per open space. But to the point, the rules were posted and drilled into everybody, no politics.
