Lê Minh Đảo (born 1933) is a former Vietnamese Brigadier General who led the 18th Division of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), nicknamed "The Super Men", at Xuan Loc, the last major battle of the Vietnam War. He currently lives in the United States.

By April 1975, North Vietnamese forces were in full advance and most ARVN resistance had collapsed. Le Minh Dao's 18th Division, however, made a defiant last stand at the Battle of Xuan Loc, 38 miles from Saigon. The fierce fighting raged for two weeks. The 18th Division, outnumbered seven to one by communist People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) forces, virtually destroyed three North Vietnamese Army (NVA) divisions, but was overwhelmed by superior numbers on April 21, 1975. Saigon fell nine days later.

General Dao is famous, for his emotional battlefield interview that was broadcast around the world during the fighting in which he stated that, "The communists could throw their entire Army at Xuan Loc, the 18th will stand fast". When pressed during the battle by Peter Arnett of the Associated Press about the hopeless situation, Dao stated "Please tell the Americans you have seen how the 18th Division can fight and die. Now Please go!" He is considered along with *Brigadier General Tran Quang Khoi who commanded the III Corps Armored Task Force, as the only ARVN commanders who stood and fought to save Saigon, before the city finally fell on 30 April 1975.

Lê Minh Đảo withdrew from Xuan Loc and wanted to continue fighting further south, but then President Duong Van Minh surrendered. Dao then reported to the communists and spent 17 years in a reeducation camp. After his release, Dao received political asylum in the United States.

Six part series on him after he came to the states, but unfortunately it is all in Vietnamese. He looks hale and hearty.

Quotes:

• I was most sorry for the outcome of the war, but I had done my best. I let my troops execute the President's final order for themselves: I had nothing more to say. But deep in my heart, I silently thanked all of them for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication until the very last minute of the war. Together, we had fulfilled our obligation and oath of allegiance. [1]

• I shall never repent having done what I did, nor complain about the consequences of my captivity. If history were to repeat itself, I would choose the same path. By so doing, I know from experience that I would lose everything but HONOR. [2]
