Just be aware, Vietnam is not the same country it was. I know it is still technically, but it is also quite different now.
The average age of the people there is very young. I believe 24 and change. That means almost two entire generations have arrived now since the war there ended. And they won the conflict, I have to say, I have detected no animosity currently, toward Americans. We seem to remember it quite strongly still, but they seem to have moved on.
In fact the country seems quite well-behaved now. More than some of their neighbors.
There are still many people there, who were there during the war, but there are a whole huge lot of them who have zero connection whatsoever with what happened in the war.
It is a very interesting country. Probably not what you remember.
“I have to say, I have detected no animosity currently, toward Americans.”
Not now but wait until Obama dispenses some of his world ass er I mean class diplomacy.
I appreciate your thoughts. And, I appreciate that many who served there and suffered much more than I are willing to forgive and forget. But, some of us aren’t.
