My father did two tours in Vietnam. He told me that the Vietnamese believed that if they were not buried in their village, their ghosts would be doomed to wander the earth, eternally wretched and miserable.

Even their college educated officers believed this and would weep when they had to leave their dead behind.

I feel sorry for the South Vietnamese, 25+ years under the commie boot.

I believe that living in a Vietnamese village is pretty wretched and miserable all on its own.
