    Reading the title of this post and listening to the BBC broadcast was a kick in the gut. How could it be 40 years ago now when listening to that broadcast made it seem like only yesterday?

    Think how it must feel for the Vietnamese.

    I did. How will they ever forgive us?

    The weird thing is that they largely have forgiven us. I’ve I’ve lived in VN & even members of the war generation are quite welcoming of Americans, if somewhat reserved. There are exceptions & of course they won the war. . .
