Looking at the articles MY handsome friend @joeyarnoldvn lived in Vietnam, I had a question.
Why did @joeyarnoldvn go to Vietnam?😳
Vietnam is very hot and humid, and there are many mosquitoes, pests and vipers.
@joeyarnoldvn got a lot of theft especially in Vietnam.
In particular, he was often stolen by Vietnamese whom he believed were friends.😲
I felt he suffered a lot in Vietnam.
He said that he first work dishwasher in Vietnam.
In Vietnam, many people get dysentery by drinking contaminated water.
He, too, would have had dysentery.
I remember the health care and infrastructure in Vietnam is very poor.
Koreans like me remember Vietnam through the Vietnam War.

The Vietnam War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh Việt Nam), also known as the Second Indochina War,[59] was a conflict in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1 November 1955[A 1] to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975.[11] It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and South Vietnam. North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, China,[15] and other communist allies; South Vietnam was supported by the United States, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand, and other anti-communist allies.[60][61] The war, considered a Cold War-era proxy war by some,[62] lasted 19 years, with direct U.S. involvement ending in 1973, and included the Laotian Civil War and the Cambodian Civil War, which ended with all three countries becoming communist in 1975.
The conflict emerged from the First Indochina War between the French and the communist-led Viet Minh.[63][A 5] After the French quit attempted recolonization of Indochina in 1954, the US assumed financial and military support for the South Vietnamese state. The Việt Cộng, also known as Front national de libération du Sud-Viêt Nam or NLF (the National Liberation Front), a South Vietnamese common front under the direction of North Vietnam, initiated a guerrilla war in the south. North Vietnam had also invaded Laos in the mid-1950s in support of insurgents, establishing the Ho Chi Minh Trail to supply and reinforce the Việt Cộng.[64]:16 U.S. involvement escalated under President John F. Kennedy through the MAAG program, from just under a thousand military advisors in 1959 to 23,000 in 1964.[65][33]:131 By 1963, the North Vietnamese had sent 40,000 soldiers to fight in South Vietnam.[64]:16
In the Gulf of Tonkin incident in early August 1964, a U.S. destroyer was alleged to have clashed with North Vietnamese fast attack craft. In response, the U.S. Congress passed the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution and gave President Lyndon B. Johnson broad authority to increase American military presence in Vietnam. Johnson ordered the deployment of combat units for the first time and increased troop levels to 184,000.[65] The People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) (also known as the North Vietnamese Army or NVA) engaged in more conventional warfare with U.S. and South Vietnamese forces. Despite little progress, the United States continued a significant build-up of forces. U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, one of the principal architects of the war, began expressing doubts of victory by the end of 1966.[33]:287 U.S. and South Vietnam forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations, involving ground forces, artillery, and airstrikes. The U.S. also conducted a large-scale strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnam and Laos. North Vietnam was backed by the USSR and the People's Republic of China.[33]:371–4[66]
For Koreans, the Vietnam War is a tragic historical event that they do not want to remember.😔
This is because many people were killed in the Vietnam War from 1954 to 1975.
Millions of Vietnamese, hundreds of thousands of Americans, and tens of thousands of Koreans were killed in the Vietnam War.
I believe the United States should not have entered the Vietnam War!
If the United States had not waged war with Vietnam and had used peaceful diplomatic means, the Vietnam War would have ended sooner.😞
I wonder why @joeyarnoldvn went to Vietnam!
I wonder what kind of charm and emotion @joeyarnoldvn felt in Vietnam.😲
Why did you go to Vietnam? Great question. I went to Vietnam to teach English, to travel, learn, explore, live, teach. I was asked to go. I wanted to get away from Obama and Biden. It's a long story. I went for many reasons.
Dear @joeyarnoldvn, Why do you unlike Obama and Biden?
I love Obama and Biden.
Dear @joeyarnoldvn, So, are you against the political leanings of Obama and Biden?
Political leanings has no real meaning. So, it does not matter what somebody's leaning is or is not.

Some people call it the Vietnam American War. But in truth or at least in part, it was a Vietnamese Civil War.
Like most if not all of the major wars from the 1800's, the 1900's, the 2000's, this war in Vietnam was taken advantaged by from globalists and other control freaks like Palpatine did in Star Wars, similar plot and scheme.
In other words, it is a long story and different countries were involved in Vietnam. I don't know if people are taught in school that China and Russia (I mean the USSR) were helping North Vietnam defeat South Vietnam.
Dear goldgrifin007, if you are from South Korea, why not live in North Korea? America fought to give you South Korea. Likewise, America was fighting for South Vietnam. But then America left. So, America abandon Vietnam similar to what we are seeing in Afghanistan in 2021.
But history is not that simple as America was infiltrated by bad people. America should not really be in war in different countries. But at the same time, the globalists try to destroy countries. After America left Vietnam, then millions of people were murdered in Cambodia. It can be argued that America could have saved all those people in Cambodia. You can have peace through strength. They would have been less likely to murder the people in Cambodia around 1978 had America still been next door.
But what is America? Hard question to answer but like I said, bad people take over the military and government in America to make military do things they should not do. That is not America but the bad people take over. The bad people are like snakes. The bad people go into many countries to take control.
In some ways, America helped. And yet, and yet at the same time bad people were making America do bad things. So, in conclusion, America did good and bad things. But it is important to distinguish between which people did good things and bad things. Because America is not one person. America is many different people doing good things and bad things.
America funded and aided Pakistan who funds the Taliban who then takes over Afghanistan. But I say America but it is not really America but the bad people in America doing it. But some of the bad people in America are not Americans or not really authentically American. This is all a long story and so complex and similar to the story of Star Wars. The bad guys fund both sides to a war. That is what globalists want, they want all the humans to fight against each other. But we should fight the globalists and stop them and not each other.
In Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh took over the country. While living in Vietnam, I talked to many people about what they thought about Ho. Some or most Vietnamese hate Ho because he would murder whole entire Vietnamese villages. He would say to Vietnamese, "Fight for me or we will murder your children and women." Many Vietnamese told me Ho Chi Minh was a terrorist, a monster. People in Vietnam do not have freedom like you do in South Korea. I think you should go to Vietnam and see how bad it is.
Dear @joeyarnoldvn, Your answer is too much.
So, it's hard for me to answer right now.
Is a book too much for you?
What book do you mean?
My comments are like books. I try very hard to answer your questions. But it takes too many words to answer your questions. Also, what I write is very simple and small too. But my small words are too big for you. I am literally only giving you an outline of everything I want to say. I am only giving you a small summary.
Hmm, Dear @joeyarnoldvn, I hope you understand that I currently have English conversational proficiency comparable to that of an elementary school student in the United States.😄
I love Obama. But the problem is Obama hurt people. Do you understand that? I love Biden too.
I love Obama. I do not care about politics. I love Biden. I do not really care about politics. I am not a political person. I hate politics. I do not care what people think or say. It does not matter. You can say anything. Obama can say the moon is made out of cheese. Biden can say he is a cat. I do not care what people say. What people say does not really matter. It is not important.
Biden is just a puppet. I love Biden but Biden is not the problem. Puppets are cute.
