President in Vietnam

I saw this morning that some veterans of the Vietnam War have concerns about the President's visit there. I'm a Vietnam veteran, with two tours, and I think it's good that the United States is working to expand our relationship.

Vietnam is growing faster economically than most countries in the Far East, and with its part communist-part capitalist society, the country seems far better off that it ever has been. Yes, those in the north were our enemy and fought hard against us, but so were the Germans, Japanese, and Chinese at one time.
