It was a very saddening experience to visit the war museum in Saigon. Apart from the captured American equipment there were graphic photos of the effects of the war – children born with terrible deformities due to Agent Orange, horrendous burns from napalm. Then there were the iconic photographs, nearly all of which I remembered clearly. There were a whole series of antiwar posters.
It was well worth a visit to show the brutality and futility of war.
The mighty USA dropped over three times the tonnage of bombs on Vietnam than were dropped in the whole of World War Two. They defoliated millions of acres of jungle with poisonous Agent Orange. They poured in men and equipment against a poorly armed opposition. They lost.
There has to be better ways of dealing with differences.
Seen elementary school pictures that surpass in both statement and quality. Once more a shallow, empty commentary on US imperialism in Asia! Total bunk.
