Article: "
Officials from the Ministry of Culture and Information were meeting Friday to consider the proposal...that [actor Don Duong] be fined and banned from acting or leaving the country for five years for appearing in the movie, which they said distorted the history and image of Vietnamese soldiers."
Kwilliams: "Sounds like the world of 1984..."
On the contrary, it sounds more like a student body tribunal from a present day American university. Vietnam just took university style political correctness to its logical conclusion.

My bet is they were offended by the begining of the film where they slaughterd the French. I haven't seen the movie yet. It came and went through our theaters in a matter of about 3 weeks! We didn't get a chance to make plans to see it! I've put it on my Netflix list though!
The book mentions the ambush of the French on Hwy 51, was it? I guess it is good that it is shown to show the parallels between the fights.
I can't imagine why the NVs are bitching; the book's authors were very conciliatory toward their former enemies.

Duong played commander Nguyen Huu An, who led the Vietnamese soldiers to victory.
Did I miss that part of the movie? Or do they mean Pyrrhic victory?
I love the smell of Associated Press's bias in the morning.

"Vietnamese movies about the war invariably portray Vietnamese soldiers as noble and Americans as cruel murderers."The reaction to a respectfully well done depiction of a historic event by the losers isn't all too surprising.
It's apparent thy're still smarting over their loss.
The communists have a national pride & they're apparently not afraid to show it, or, enforce it.
Aside from the motion picture bugging 'em striking me a bit *odd*, I also couldn't help noticing one other thing.
The communist VN regime's entire -- totalitarian -- approach when compared to present day America, has more than a few stunning similarities.
...the irony of which leaves me speechless.

...after our Victory at IA DRANG-1965.
...That place was so errie.

...AP lied to the world when it "Reported" a 7th Cavalry "Massacre" of Korean Civilians in the opening weeks of the Korean War, a "Massacre" that NEVER HAPPENED.
...Friends of HILLARY RODHAM -&- BILL CLINTON at Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism quickly gave AP a Pulitizer Prize for this false story.
...Major ROBERT L. BATEMAN's outstanding book titled...
'NO GUN RI: A Military History of the Korean War Incident'
...puts the LIE to them as does JOE GALLOWAY in his Pulitzer Prize-Deserving NO GUN RI Series in U.S. News & World Report.
...In finally reporting last week that it's primary NO GUN RI "Witness" was just sentenced to 21 Months in a Federal Prison for defrauding the Veterans Administration out of over $400,000 in Post Traumatic Stress Benefits he claimed because of NO GUN RI...
...AP lied again in reporting that it still had 32 other witnesses to a NO GUN RI "Massacre" that NEVER HAPPENED.
...And we wonder how HIILLARY RODHAM will become President of the United States in 2004...?
...CARL LIMBACHER of..
http://www.Newsmax.com .. doesn't wonder at all. He just predicted her 2004 Election Victory over BUSH, no matter what he does, while guesting on Los Angeles Talk Radio just 6 days ago.

"AP lied again in reporting that it still had 32 other witnesses to a NO GUN RI "Massacre" that NEVER HAPPENED."*Again*, Sarge??
I'm afraid lying's all The Associated Press does.
Well, does well, anyway.
"...And we wonder how HIILLARY RODHAM will become President of the United States in 2004...CARL LIMBACHER of...He just predicted her 2004 Election Victory over BUSH, no matter what he does, while guesting on Los Angeles Talk Radio just 6 days ago."
Yea well as of yet, anyway, in America everyone has the right to shoot-off their mouth.
As much as I respect Carl, here's where he & I part ways on this one prediction he makes.
Besides, I wouldn't believe it even if she does get the WH.
Call it a *classic* case of very, deep denial.
...& attribute it to (~an extreme case of) mental defect.

People here -- &
especially in
Hollyweird & the uselful idiots in the Lamestream media -- might as well see for
themselves what'll happen more sooner than later,
right here in the good ol' USofA.
IF this nation continue's to permit the Liberal-Socialists to steadily move us Left we're looking at our immediate future.
Not that they cannot try; they can, alright ~& they know it, too.
This is America where we celebrate freedom & encourage all.
However, it is incumbant upon us to freely & voluntarily reject what it is they're trying to sell us; regardless of how it's "packaged" *or* what they "call" it.
The way to do that is simple, too.
Merely adhere to the letter of our constitution & we cannot go wrong.
The communist VN are merely a little further on down the line on the ideological continuum than our *own* brand of "Socialists" we witness here, stateside.
Our Liberal-Socialists think of themselves as, "Progressives" & masquerade under the name of "Democrats," is all.
Only a matter of time & evolution for us to become just like VN.
...unless we stop it, now

Have you seen The Left-Wing Billionaire Collectivist Pigs? An interesting essay on where the left is headed and why. Some of it is a stretch, but may otherwise be enligntening.

Vietnamese movies about the war invariably portray Vietnamese soldiers as noble and Americans as cruel murderers. Commie bastards.
To: ALOHA RONNIE
"Both movies distort the legitimate war history of our people and the humanity of the Vietnamese," army newspaper Quan Doi Nhan Dan (People's Army) said in a front-page article Wednesday. Vietnamese movies about the war invariably portray Vietnamese soldiers as noble and Americans as cruel murderers.
The above paragraph is an example of distorting the legitimate war history.
