Nobody is going to point out bác Lê Đức Thọ turning down the Nobel Peace Prize because true peace didn't exist in Vietnam yet? So much RESPECT.

Wow slow down.. Not everyone can think that fast

[foreverinvincibles]

A little reminder: We Vietnamese don't care if we are communist or capitalist, we just want our country to be independent and our people to be freedom. That's it! End of story!

[sufferingmp]

I gotta say as an Irishman that’s studying Vietnam I have to give you so much credit for pronouncing the Vietnamese names correctly with our accent haha

It's so sad all the innocent people get stuck in the middle of these bloody wars. Bless everyone

Well, invading Vietnam seems to be a bad decision through and through on U.S' part. Like, they should have at least known Vietnam's history before deciding.
Vietnam, as a small nation, spent thousands of year fending off Chinese invasion, and fought off the Mongol Empire 3 times in a row when they were still the biggest empire in the world after conquering Europe.
Anyone with common sense would know Vietnam war was a bad idea.

"Vietnam has the right to be a free and independent country-and in fact is so already. The entire
Vietnamese people are determined to mobilize all their physical and mental strength, to sacrifice their
lives and property in order to safeguard their independence and liberty." Ho Chi Minh, Declaration of Independence

[kritidiptadatta]

In India I'm taught in the text book that Ho chi Minh was a great freedom fighter of Vietnam... Who fought against all colonial strengths... And as an Indian being suppressed by colonial forces for 200 years really felt for him and
Kudos to every Vietnamese that they failed to devide you into two countries and led you to long Lasting moral and economic fight like INDIA and PAKISTAN and BANGLADESH... Being a Bengali My grandparents had to overnight leave their houses forever and come to new India... Many of my relatives died in this nuisance...

Edit: Thank you everyone for showing solidarity... It means a lot ❤️

Vietnamese said:'I like roses but the enemy forces me to hold a gun"

We used to have:
- A battle of Dien Bien Phu in the mountains with France.
- A battle of Dien Bien Phu on the Air with the US.
- And now we are preparing for a battle of Dien Bien Phu at sea with China.

My grandfather, a Vietnam veteran AND staunch anti-communist, liked Ho Chi Minh. He believed he wasn’t a full communist but wanted freedom for the Vietnamese people. Free from the French and free from colonialism. It’s very weird.
