On the day I returned home from our Annual Battle of IA DRANG-1965 Alumni Conference in Washington, D.C. in 2004,
...a Communist Vietnam Defense Ministry leader paid a visit to the Pentagon for the first time. Just weeks later a U.S. Navy warship paid a visit to the Port of Saigon, Vietnam.
This month will see President BUSH visiting Communist Vietnam.
Communist Vietnam has imprisoned 3 U.S. Citizens now visiting there for "Terrorism." A Terrorist is defined by Communist Vietnam as anyone who wants a Regime Change there. The last time Communist Vietnam recently did this it was forced to release its jailed U.S. Citizen. through hard public and political pressure from America and a Freedom-Loving Little Saigon CA.
Last August 5th, Gov. ARNOLD signed an Executive Order in Little Saigon, CA recognizing the Freedom and Heritage Flag of Vietnam, as opposed to the Communist Vietnam Flag, as representive of the over 500,000 Vietnamese Americans now living in the Golden State. Doing this, California became the 10th State to do so. Ohio quickly followed the next week, making over 100 cities, counties and states that have ..plus Sydney, Australia..!!!

But I was not aware, onyx, of any American Troops going back to Vietnam to train or be trained.
I do know though that...
...FREEDOM is also on it way back to Vietnam,
...one way or another.
Communist Vietnam has been re-engaged by the world ...permanently.
For as President BUSH proclaimed on September 2nd, 2004 at New York's Republican Convention...
...our new 21st Century is...
...The LIBERTY Century,
..........no matter what.
Or the Anti-Freedom Jihadists win over all of us.

Excellent post, Ronnie.
I think the professionals in the Vietnamese may be preparing for the fall of communism. In that event, they will be in the Chinese cross-hairs and very much alone unless they can cement an alliance with the west beforehand.
Our long-ago fight may yet be crowned with victory.
This surprised me too. Thanks for the information in your posts and for replying to me.
The war goes on. I always thought we were going to win!
Thanks for the ping!
"..FREEDOM is also on it way back to Vietnam.."
Before you continue to make such statements, I'd suggest you bring up on-line, "Vietnam Today," their counterpart to usa today (small letters intentional). "VN Today" (a Commie rag, of course), doesn't read like a government organ desirous of peace or freedom.
