Free Vietnam.
Only let us DO it this time.

This makes no sense. What was it the actor did that incensed the ruling party? If anything, the movie was soft on the NVA/VC.
At the war's end, the world saw what butchers these people were. They weren't interested in reunification; they were interested in annhilation. The carnage was so bad that even some of the peace freaks (like Joan Baez) said we needed to get back over there to save the poor, suffering people of South Vietnam.
But the movie didn't show their true intent, and the actor in question certainly did not present the NVA in an unfavorable light. I thought the movie, typically, glossed over truth for the sake of political correctness.

What stupidity, they could've easily named the movie "They were soldiers too." There's nothing in that movie that shows the NVA in bad light. The fact that the actor put the American flag back in the post after explaining what the future held, says it all. A traitor--the movie painted him as an honorable man.

Duong played commander Nguyen Huu An, who led the Vietnamese soldiers to victory. Did I miss that part of the movie? Or do they mean Pyrrhic victory?

proposed earlier that he be fined and banned from acting or leaving the country for five years for appearing in the movie, which they said distorted the history and image of Vietnamese soldiers. Wouldn't it be great if we could ban and fine American actors that distort the history and image of U.S. Soldiers? Hehehe.

"By becoming a propagandist and henchman for 'hostile forces' and tarnishing the Vietnamese soldiers and people, Don Duong has sold his conscience cheaply and become a national traitor," it said. How about a trade? We give them Jane Fonda, and we'll take this guy in.

..'PLIGHT of VIETNAMESE ACTOR GARNERS U.S. ATTENTION'..
...is today's 'The World' Article posted on Page A-20 in the main section of today's Los Angeles Times. This Article does not appear on the LAT website, just like Monday's Article on persecuted .."WE WERE SOLDIERS".. Vietnamese Actor and Saigon Resident DON DOUNG did not.
...Yesterday a persecuted DON DUONG was "Interrogated" by the Communist Government of Vietnam for -EIGHT HOURS- after which they tried to push him into confessing to being a TRAITOR of the State. DON DUONG refused. A second "Interrogation" is fast approaching.
...Our U.S. Consulate General in Saigon is scheduling a meeting with DON DUONG to check his physical well being.
PRAY FOR DON DUONG...
