Old enemies can meet as friends.

My brother served in Vietnam. Six years ago he was living in Thailand, and took a trip to Cam Rahn Bay, where he spent the majority of his time in country. He went with a Thai man who was also a veteran. They met with a few former Viet Cong and North Vietnamese soldiers.

He says that all agreed that the war was long over, and nobody really won, that the North simply outlasted USA. There was no longer any need to be enemies, few in Vietnam are angry or bitter any longer.

No, I was there both as a soldier and a civilian contractor training the S. Vietnamese.

The democrat led Congress at the time voted to defund the Vietnamization program started by Nixon.

Democrats abandoned S. Vietnam and the brave Americans who fought and died there.

America was not allowed to win./rant off
