"The Trump administration has told its senior diplomats in Vietnam not to take part in events marking the 50th anniversary of the end of the war."

We have good relations now with Viet Nam. My son has gone to VN on MIA search teams, and was hosted warmly. This makes no sense. Another example of Trump dissimg VN vets, IMHO.

I was in Walmart, an old man was patiently waiting across from the check out line. He had a Vietnam Vet t shirt on.

I remember when they were young men.

I remember my first year in college and seeing young men a little older than I walking to class, walking with canes.

That war became so much more real to me then.

God bless every one of them.

I pray that the United States America will give their all to those who gave their all for our freedom.

Four U.S. officials who insisted on anonymity to describe sensitive diplomatic decision-making said that Washington had recently directed senior diplomats — including Marc Knapper, the U.S. ambassador to Vietnam — to stay away from activities tied to the anniversary on April 30 …

Suddenly we trust the NY Times to be truthful? Especially considering "anonymous sources" who are breaking the law by disclosing sensitive information? Because the NY Slimes never publishes anything harmful or derogatory about Trump?

We should dedicate all resources to recognizing and supporting our Vietnam veterans right here at home.

I'm betting the 'observance' in Viet Nam are in no means pro USA.
