    Where are you from? Cause if you say US or any EU country then of fucking course only a Vietnamese who left the homeland to go live in a Western shithole would spew unhinged shit like that. Bootlickers who think life in South Vietnam was better when the US “came and improve people’s lives”.

      I don’t think the average Vietnamese person from that era really cares too much about whether their lives were “improved” when the Americans occupied the country. Their views are usually colored more by their conditions after moving to the US, which are generally better than before they moved. The nationalism for the south is just because they dislike communism and because their lives are better in the US (after being bombed and occupied by them) which presents themselves as the saviors.
