sounds like a tall tale
It happened in the past though- eg the Tsar of the Bulgars had the skull of a Byzantine Emperor made into a drinking cup
However I think this is a humbug tale- please get a anatomical atlass and look at the skull- there are surprisingly many holes in it. So unless these guys had a well equipped metal shop and someone skilled enough to plug the holes without destroying the skull in the process- it is simply not feasible.
Also bear in mind that the skull - in its natural form - contains quite a lot of meat in many tiny places. In Vietnam's climate it would stink to high heaven and even a hyena would gag on it.
Sure, it is possible to clean it up- just ask a hunter how long and how much effort it takes to clean a deer head (which is way smaller than a human one)

I don't know where this comes from, a Dean Koonze book? but, I was in the P troop 4/7 cav and have never heard of this.
