Tom Tomorrow has the story of the successful election in which the war-torn country's citizens showed up to the polls under the watchful eye of US troops to the tune of 83% turnout, risking the wrath of the insurgency in order to bravely cast their ballots, securing a victory for freedom. Culminating a process than began over a year ago, the new government finally had legitimacy in the eyes of its people.
It was Vietnam in 1967.
