Viet nam, yes, and they really want us as allies. Strange, VN looks nothing like it was in the 60’s. Not much like the commie police state of after 1975. It is true people just don't talk much about the ‘period of repression’, but then the wartime generation tends to be close mouthed about much of the war, except the tourism parts. Big very capitalist cities. Da Namg now really looks clean and prosperous and many, perhaps most Viets seem fascinated with the USA and appear to like Americans.

The Vietnam War was a mistake in the first place. We should never have supported the French taking their ‘possessions’ back after WW2; we should have told them no, go away and would have been able to make it stick.
