South Vietnam's social structure was similar to the US's social structure, except it was under extreme military influence due to the constant warring over the last 30 years; e.g. many people wore military clothing (surplus or otherwise), military surplus construction material covered civilian homes, bridges, roads, etc. South Vietnam was "supposed" to be structured (modeled after) along "free" country lines, such as the US, or any other NON-Communist country. E.g. freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of education, selling & trading (capitalism), etc. US personnel in country, were to respect those same social traditions, as they would in the United States.
Any traditional ingrained Vietnamese traditions were NOT interferred with by the US Government, unless they violated common sense human dignity laws. If the South Vietnamese Government expected to continue to receive US assistance, they had to comply with US Policies of human rights & dignity.
