Now THAT is good news. I remember reading about this right here on Free Republic just after I'd seen the movie. I'm so glad he'll be here, and safe.

Thank you, Ronnie. I see "Never Forget" is being used to honor the fallen comrades in the current conflict.

He played the Vietnamese commander with sensitivity, honor, and thoughtfulness. I can understand why the NV government is so upset.

He sure killed a lot of our people in his carreer and kept a lot of his commie brethren at the throats of his own people in the south...
I understand he was an actor an all...but how does this translate to his being a US hero?
Just because he was branded a traitor in his own country...how does he get a pass to come over here...
Because he is an actor?
There are a whole bunch of Tiger Scouts who fought on our side..against the commies...who were thrown into concentration camps their familes slaughtered after the war because they supported us...
We abandoned them...but we take in an NVA field grade officer because he is an actor????
Sorry but if America wanted to bring anyone over ...our real friends in Vietnam are still prisoners...
Not to mention our POWs....I would rather see them come to San Jose with fanfare than my former enemy
I dont care how good he portrayed himself in a freakin war movie... Mel Gibson asside...
sheesh

Throwing actors in the slammer for playing Vietnamese characters... Wow, the Vietnamese government sure has improved since we normalized relations and started trading with them! I'm impressed!

Something happens when you kick the @ss of the most vicious bully in the World - respect.
I think the Vietnam commies just had a gut check and realized it doesn't pay to piss off the badest country on the planet.
Will North Korea also reach a similar epiphany? Will France, ever?

Gosh, I thought he potrayal of the NVA commander was very sympathetic to the NVA, and NVA soliders in particular. Why in the world would the government persecute him for that? Maybe they thought he was too sympathetic or respectfull to the American point of view, or was too "soft" in general?
I've heard of "sore losers", but these guys are "sore winners". Maybe they've figured out that what they won was really the booby prize.
Oh, I forgot, they are Communists, they don't have to make any sense. After all, their whole theory of government and society is based on ignoring fundamental human nature, be those humans, Russians, Chinese, Vietnamese, or Americans of various ethnicities, so they are used to ignoring reality.

Good news for Dong! The film was too painful for *me* to watch more than 20 minutes. I will give it another try.
