Big Mick's right.Let it go.

Terrible things are done in war, by both sides. Collectively the Vietnamese suffered far far more than the Americans, and it's still going on today with mines going off, and children being born damaged by Agent Orange.

It appears that Vietnamese people have shown that they are willing to turn away from vengeance and recriminmation. And so have many many Americans, including especially many veterans who have been back to visit or to work there, and help heal the wounds.

All big countries have done things like that, and at the time it seems like a good idea, and good people get wasted in the process. Some good people did bad things. Good GIs, good Viet Cong, good War Resisters. And there were good reasons for it, mixed in with not so good reasons.

Stirring it over in a spirit of vengeance doesn't help. Nor does turning away and forgetting. Trying to understand what happened and why it all happened as part of a process of reconciliation, that makes sense.
