* TranshumanAbomination: The River God WasOnceAMan, being a simple rice farmer who had the misfortune of being dragged into the Vietnam war and having his loved ones killed as a result. The resulting grief and subsequent TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening transformed him into a completely insane, godlike HumanoidAbomination that can warp reality to his every whim, distorting [[GravityScrew gravity]] and anyone who comes into contact with him, either corrupting their [[BodyHorror bodies]], [[OurZombiesAreDifferent dead]] or living alike, to ''affecting the very timelines they exist in'', simply through his sheer presence alone.

''Firebase'' is a 2017 [[GenreBusting Sci-Fi Horror Vietnam War]] short film directed by Creator/NeillBlomkamp for Creator/OatsStudios. Tone wise it's what would happen if ''Film/ApocalypseNow'' got run through the Wiki/SCPFoundation, with the very real horrors of the Vietnam War being amplified through the inclusion of {{Retraux}} super science and insane, reality warping deities.

* EagleLand: A very strident Type 2 example with America's involvement in Vietnam given a very critical portrayal. The CIA in particular is definitely portrayed as shady if not outright malevolent, with the opening stills referencing the real [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_Program Phoenix Program]] among other CIA-backed atrocities from the era.



* SpareAMessenger: Possibly an unintentional version, but Sgt. Bracken is the only survivor of the attack on Firebase Tarheel who can still talk about his experience, despite a face-to-face confrontation with the River God. Palmer has him shipped back home, [[UnPerson listed as MIA]] and recruited into the program he's part of.

* UnPerson: The sad fate of Cpl. Bracken, being officially listed MIA along with his 318 fallen comrades at Firebase Tarheel to cover up the reality-bending truth of The River God.
