 Dong Sy Nguyen was the People's Army of Viet Nam]] commander of the 559th Transportation Group]], which actually operated the Ho Chi Minh trail]]. After the war, he rose to lieutenant general in the logistical side of the PAVN. Entering the government, he became an alternate Politburo member in 1982 and a full member in 1986, but was removed as minister of communications and transportation in June 1986 due to allegations of corruption.
