Retired Marine veteran who fled Vietnam as a child travels to Ukraine to help rescue families
Bailee Hill - Yesterday 8:54 PM
A Marine veteran who fled Vietnam as a child travels to Ukraine to help rescue families as millions flee Putin's ongoing assault.
Task Force 824 founder Quan Nguyen, who spent time in refugee camps as a child, is one of two veterans leading the effort. He joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" Sunday to discuss his efforts and why he is going above and beyond to help Ukrainians trying to escape.
"I have empathy for any refugee, regardless of background, religion, politics, because I've lived in refugee camps," Nguyen told co-hosts Rachel Campos-Duffy, Pete Hegseth, and Joey Jones.
"They suck. They're horrible. You've got rats, you've got disease, and I would not want anyone to go through it." he continued.

He highlighted how appreciative families have been of Nguyen and his nonprofit for helping them during such a tragic experience.
"So it just makes me feel like with all the evil going on, there is a little bit chance of humanity," he said.
Nguyen explained how the mission began as first delivering necessary supplies, and has evolved to housing families. Nguyen said he has just leased a second home to help even more families as they try to flee the war-torn nation.
"I'm here purely on a humanitarian mission," Nguyen said. "I've done the kicking in doors… I've done the picking up a weapon, but I feel that, at this point in my life, I can make a bigger impact by working on the humanitarian side."

Speaking of Vietnam and Ukraine, people have it wrong. It’s not “Winston” Zelenskyy, it’s Nguyen Van Zelenskyy.
Hope he hasn’t pitched in at Paleostine refugee permanent fixtures
Jean of Arc
The Russians are using this war to drive Ukrainian refugees out of the country, freeing it to be repopulated by Russians. The Ukrainians that leave will never be allowed back.
It is basically an ethnic cleansing if Russia wins. It will become part of Russia because more Russians will live there. Furthermore, regime-sponsored gangs will terrorize the remaining population and drive out more native Ukrainians.
Hard to imagine Russia repopulating anything!
In 2019, Russia and Belarus have a 0.6 percent natural decrease, and Russia was expected to lose 22 percent of its population by 2050, which would be a loss of more than 30 million people (from 142.3 million in 2006 to 110.3 million in 2050).
Population in the ex-USSR is rapidly shrinking due to low birth rates, very high death rates (linked to alcoholism and high rates of infectious diseases such as AIDS and TB), as well as high emigration rates.
However, Putin used Russian settlers/emigrants to beef up numbers in the Crimea and the "separatist republics" to militate against the legitimate Ukrainian nation and to insist on using the Russian language. You saw where that went.
Hope you saw this. Semper fi.
That’s not true.
People really need to stop reading corrupt, biased news sources.
