Dear Ms. Dinh Thi Phuc, After reading your letter about the children of Vietnam, I would like to share some personal thoughts about Viet Cong and Republican of Vietnam. I strongly believe that Viet Cong are liars. If you said you are the children of the wars, don't you remember which side of Vietnam wanted to take over the country ? I'm talking between the nations. Americans were only tried to help the Republican to save the nation from turbulants and sufferings from Viet Cong! However, Viet Cong didn't keep their promises to withdraw their armies. Yet, they took advantages over their own people. They abused them and starved them to death. My parents were also the victims of the war too. My father wasn't in the army but Viet Cong still captured him and they put him in concentration camp for five years! During that time, my mom was the primary supporter of my family. She had to work very hard to keep us alive. Besides, my parents wanted for our family to have the freedom and independence too. However, we didn't join Viet Cong side to fight against our own people. Ms.Dinh, you don't realize that your statement is false and unrealistic! If you and your family strongly believed that Viet Cong is the key to your freedom, then why are you in America? The only people who truely came to America were the ones who suffered from Viet Cong's years of abuse and tortures! They are the people who really want to find freedom for themselves and their family members. It is the people who ran away from Vietnam knew the truth about Viet Cong. Many people lost their lives in the ocean by escaping on boats. Don't give out false informations to kids who know nothing about the war. It makes me sick just by reading your letter about Viet Cong giving freedom to their people! If they kept their promise, then many people would never died and suffered from their mental and physical abused! Once again, I want to mention that if you and your family believe in Viet Cong, then why are you here in America? You make me and many million of readers feel disgusted by your letter. The fact that the 14 year old kid comment on Vietnam is true. Her father had been there to witness the truth about Vietnam. He said to never believe anyone in Vietnam including children because Viet Cong are liars. They used children as a weapon to attack many soldiers. This type of work is dirty and low life. I hope in your next letter to the little child will be better. It is sad to see a kid learn something about our country in a false way. Tell her something that is educational and meaningful, not something that doesn't exist!
