Sir... I'm one of the boat people...refugee in Indonesia...it will be a blessing if I could see more of your photos. My family after the war fled to France, Australia, and US.

[@crystalflies1054]

I find this really sweet and nostalgic, even though Im not an adult yet. Im from Vietnam, and i must say, aoi dai is now worn a lot less. Ive actually never seen staff wearing them im stores when i visit, but i do know they are worn by both men and women, usually when Tet comes, marriages, or any other event.

I wanted to see more photos so I searched "Michael Burr Vietnam photos" (minus the quotes of course) and found a few things quite quickly.

Not quite right, China objective was never to colonized Vietnam, China objective was to teach Vietnam a lesson that Soviet Union will not help Vietnam when China invade them, that objective the Chinese achieved but to be fair China second objective was fail, which is to deter Vietnam occupying Cambodia, and to be completely fair I agree even if China want to occupy Vietnam, China will fail.

[@kikiwonwon29]

actually not really what u said. The veteran of The South Vietnam went to Philippines when they lost North Vietnam, but that time Philippines didn't helped South Vietnam until American agreed to change the VNCH flag to America flag. The odds was all the battle ship of VNCH must be given to Philippines army :)) . That's fact bro. Anyway I luv Philippines now, we live for the present & future, not for the past. Vietnam here got some problems about South China Sea.

[@gerry6720]

Certainly film that could be shown in Hanoi during the war. Surprised not to see Jane Fonda supporting her hero's. Absolutely no pictures of the documented 32,000 assassination's of South Vietnamese villagers. Filmed by those with a predetermined bias that the war was bad American foreigners and poor brave fighting soldiers from the north. Same reporters disappeared during the aftermath of the war during the atrocities, reeducation camps, and boat people. No film on the politicians who turned their backs on the troops and encouraged the likes of John Kerry who characterized the troops as murdering innocents in the style of Genghis Khan. I was there, I won't forget what this country (the US) and the media did as well as the politicians and many of the people of the US. Put it aside and go on, but never forget.
