My father was a veteran of the vietnam war, an immoral war the US fought against the people of vietnam. I pray the Vietnamese nation can hold the line against China.

Maybe, immoral, but it’s more complicated than that. The US lost the war, but half a century later 95% of Vietnamese believe that “people are better off under a free market” and three quarters have a positive view of the US.

Hmmm.. immoral? That's debatable when you condemn China but the Republic of Vietnam committed many of the same atrocities.
