Da Nang, Vietnam - guns, tanks and aircraft from the Vietnam War

A large museum, with all the really big armaments on display outside, many of which were captured from U.S. forces and - what is described as the puppet - South Vietnamese government and forces. Inside are several floors of small arms, contemporary photos, documents and other personal exhibits. Not surprisingly, it gives you an entirely different view on the war, demonstrates how Vietnam has a proud history of repelling much stronger invaders (such as the Mongols and the Chinese) and strongly supports the North Vietnamese argument that this was a war of unification. And, I must say, there is not much sign of Communism in Vietnam today. So one questions the concept of the Domino Theory, with which many Western governments were trying to frighten us at the time. Sadly, for a museum remembering such a significant event, in which so many people died, we saw no other visitors in the museum, and we were there for nearly two hours.

Một bảo tàng lớn, với tất cả các vũ khí thực sự lớn trên màn hình bên ngoài, nhiều trong số đó đã được chụp từ các lực lượng Mỹ và - những gì họ mô tả là 'bù nhìn' - chính quyền miền Nam Việt Nam và các lực lượng. Bên trong có nhiều tầng và đô thị nhỏ, hình ảnh đương đại, tài liệu, tang vật cá nhân khác. Không ngạc nhiên, nó cho bạn cái nhìn hoàn toàn khác về chiến tranh, thể hiện như thế nào Việt Nam có một lịch sử tự hào về đẩy lùi quân xâm lược mạnh mẽ hơn (như người Mông Cổ và Trung Quốc) và hỗ trợ mạnh mẽ đối số Bắc Việt Nam rằng đây là một cuộc chiến tranh thống nhất. Và, tôi phải nói, không có nhiều dấu hiệu của chủ nghĩa cộng sản tại Việt Nam ngày hôm nay. Vì vậy, một câu hỏi khái niệm của thuyết Domino, mà nhiều chính phủ phương Tây đã cố gắng để cảm giác lo sợ chúng tôi vào lúc đó. Đáng buồn thay, cho một bảo tàng ghi nhớ như một sự kiện quan trọng, trong đó rất nhiều người đã chết, chúng tôi thấy không có khách khác trong bảo tàng, và chúng tôi đã có gần hai giờ.

DEATH TO AMERICA

[travelingcompanions]

This war ended a while ago, Hamodyxxx0, and I don't think America has attacked Canada recently, at least not militarily.

@travelingcompanions Hes probably another radical... Canadians nowadays don't really hate USA cause we were attacked back in 1812.

I'm a Brit, xuixuanxui, probably about the same age as you. I studied that war quite closely, because I could so easily have been there. So I feel for you and all your memories. Yes, I'm sure the VC did some dreadful things. But I was just reporting on what I saw at this museum, because it was interesting. And, like I said, the strange thing was that we were the only people there. The Vietnamese don't seem to be interested in it any more.

[travelingcompanions]

Check your facts, tientienlao. The US was in Vietnam for about 25 years and there were still military forces there in 1975, when the Embassy in Saigon was over-run. China stopped supporting the NV in 1970. At the end, the SV had many more armaments than the NV, although they I agree they did not have enough fuel. I've seen Vietnam for real, tientienlao, just a few months ago, and I know they have been fighting off invaders for more than 100 years. Go read Wikipedia, or something.

@travelingcompanions The myths and lies about US involvement in Vietnam angers us Vets that lived it. What we saw and what we see presented as facts or truth angers us greatly. I see idiots support the Vietnamese communists and haven't a clue as to the insane treatment of the Vietnamese people by the party. They blame the US for wrongs never done or done by the NVA/VC. Millions of NV people never received notice of their sons deaths for propaganda reasons.

[tientienlao]

Every Vietnamese are afraid to say the truth. They say the party line, to do otherwise can get them killed. There has been no reconcilliation between North and South. The Southerners never felt as US puppets, US was there a short time and the second Indochina war lasted from 1954-75. The North used full scale war to conquer the South and it only succeeded because the US stopped supporting SV with weapons, fuel, replacement parts, etc while China and Russia sent billions to NV.

@travelingcompanions You are an idiot. There were no US forces in Vietnam in 1975. When the communists say glorious victory I would like you to see what it looks like for real. North Vietnamese tanks were running over fleeing South Vietnamese refugees and unarmed ARVN troops with their tanks on the roads. Their tanks treads became unserviceable with skull, skin, bones and maggots ground into them, they had to drive into rivers to wash them out.
