Forgiveness in Vietnam - Vietnam Vets Meet a Former Enemy

[skylord]

I like it. Former enemies look each other in the eyes and say "I don't hate you"

[DahlemDorf]

that man is the greatest living terminator he fought 3 wars and won them all

[surejan]

The power of forgiveness is just amazing to me.

The way he cried after realizing what he did to those poor water buffalo really got to me. Awww..

Mr. Tiger has a 3-0 war record. What a beast.

The funny thing is us and them wanted nothing to do with talking about the past. I think it says a lot about how humans no matter where they are can put aside things and move on. That "Old Tiger" fought in three wars and can sit across from the former enemy and drink with them. Its amazing to me.

There is nothing in this world like reconciliation

I have many friends in Vietnam today, they are very forgiving people. I have been invited back many times but don't have the money to go or the health anymore. I now suffer with Agent Orange today, but i teach English to so many kids in Vietnam today for Free. I have been doing it for the last 9 years now, that is my payback and it is like a therapy for me.

A Friendship with the “French, Japanese, American, Everyone”

The wholesomeness of it all is overwhelming indeed

[tobibledsoe]

My Vietnamese friend told me their culture is forgiving. They also want to improve their economy so for them the purpose is important. I think it is important that America help Vietnam and promote peace there.

the criminals are the ones who gave the orders and planned the they live guilt free and are not punished in this life...

War is an awful and ironic thing. My Dad fought in Vietnam and came home pretty shook up. He refused to ever say a single bad word about the Vietnamese which I thought was so ironic because he was in a big fight during the Tet and saw some awful things. I think that his attitude showed tremendous character. After he retired, we lived in a small upper midwest town and some Vietnamese immigrants moved in behind us. My Dad not only allowed me to play at their house, he encouraged it. I can't even begin to imagine the horrors he saw when he was fighting and I am still in awe of his ability to not allow hate to overtake his heart.

power to the vietnam people they are amazing what a great attitude if everyone was like them this world be be a better place

[SkaterTE]

That American GI that shot the Water Buffalo for fun knew that he couldn’t ever forgive himself inside even though he shared the stories many time with his friends and family. His confession to say sorry to all of the buffaloes he killed unintentionally was his first moment to start dying in peace as a great solider.

At least these former NVA soldiers are letting go of the past and are getting along well with their former enemies, and becoming friends and pals with them, unlike those South Vietnamese veterans they are still stuck in the past and still have that hate within them that they don't want their kids to ever visit Vietnam because they still see them as the enemy. This video had just restored my faith in humanity.

What a badass, fought in three different wars

[cuchuynh]

Cho đến tận bây giờ những cựu chiến binh mỹ họ vẫn còn ám ảnh bởi chiến tranh, bởi những việc họ gây ra cho người dân Vietnam, bởi những tội ác họ phạm phải. Sự khoan dung, độ lượng, nhân hậu của những người dân ở đây khiến họ phải bật khóc. Cảm động thật sự.

this dude is the veteran of 3 war, god damn

There are no winners in war…….only victims and survivors.
