No. 3 - Did Vietnam conquer U.S in the war or the U.S just left Vietnam?

The war between Iran and Iraq ...

Good girl: Can I ask you one question?

Bad girl: Go ahead

Good girl: How do you think about war?

Bad girl: About what? War?

Good girl: Yeah

Bad girl: It depends. But most of the cases, I don't think war is something that people want.

No one likes war, except for some people who do not have philanthropy. By the time I was born, the war in Vietnam with the U.S was already over. We only leanrned about it via textbooks and adults' stories. What textbooks told us and what we heard from people who were actually present in the fights are in conflict. In the textbooks, the Vietnam army earned all the victories, how many U.S tansk, trucks, planes, soldiers etc were defeated.

It is really astonishing how Vietnamese government forces us to absort these dead wrong facts. I have not recognized that what I have been taught from my childhood is just a very small slice of the truth until I came to the U.S.


In the U.S, you have:

Say whatever you want to say and set it out loud. 

Here is the case in my home country:

Shut your mouth up if you dont want to get into troubles

In the U.S, there are several Vietnamese channels that broadcast discussion sessions for what happening in Vietnam and most of the comments aim at the Vietnam Communist Party. There is a very good song I did not know it exist when I was in Vietnam. The Vietnam Communist Party makes people in Vietnam believe that this song was written by those who are traitors, while they are not.

It has the English lyrics, you may want to listen to it. I love the meaning, the beat and the rhythm.
