They are very much like Americans today, nothing different: Gung-Ho,
some very John Wayne, something like that. The problem with the
American soldier? . . . I feel their pain because their government
here sent them to Vietnam without educating them of the country and
its land. They had no idea. They didn't know the people that
surrounded them. They believed all people were Viet Cong somehow; they
would smile in the daytime and possibly kill you at night. So they did
not trust anyone. Secondly, the culture is tremendously different
here. Even as a US citizen today I learn about the culture everyday.
For example, Americans find it important to say "hi" and know people's
names. To the Vietnamese culture, we never call our name, we use
brother, sister, Mr., sir. That is all we call; there is no need to
know the name. No one trained American soldiers for Vietnam. . . .
Americans would see a pretty girl on the street and if they liked her,
go up and give her a kiss on the cheek. It was no big deal to them.
Today though, if a soldier went to kiss a girl in the streets of Saudi
Arabia, they would be killed! That's it. That is just what Americans
do; it really offends people, and makes them angry. We go and put
billions of dollars around the world, for what? They hate us so much.
. . . When others protest it is always: "Down with Americans," and
people burning the flag. The soldiers sent to Vietnam were not
prepared for the job. They were isolated too long, and had no chance
to associate with the Vietnamese. I understand that they didn't want
to release secret information, but in the meantime what about the
cross-cultural understanding, how about that? Nobody knows. The
Americans came back with the wrong perspective of the Vietnamese
people; they [the vietnamese] were either Gook or VC, but I am neither
gook nor VC. What category do you put me in? Many Americans thought
that. I feel sorry for them [the American soldiers], and terrible that
they had to fight a war they had no idea about.
