My Emotional Visit to the Vietnam War Museum
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- As I walked through the doors of the Zone 5 Military War Museum in Da Nang, Vietnam, I was immediately struck by the powerful and emotional atmosphere of the place. The air was thick with a sense of reverence and remembrance, as if the ghosts of the past were still lingering in the halls.
I was overwhelmed by the displays of artifacts, photographs, and personal stories that filled the museum from top to bottom. The exhibits painted a vivid picture of the devastating effects of the war on both the Vietnamese people and the American soldiers who fought there.
As I made my way through the museum, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of sadness and empathy for the countless lives that were lost or forever changed by the war. The stories of bravery, sacrifice, and resilience that I encountered were both inspiring and heartbreaking, and I found myself moved to tears more than once.
But as much as the museum reminded me of the horrors of war, it also left me with a sense of hope and gratitude. Hope that we can learn from the mistakes of the past and strive towards a more peaceful future, and gratitude for the sacrifices of those who fought and died for their beliefs.
Leaving the Vietnam War Museum in Da Nang, I felt emotionally drained but also deeply touched by the experience. It is a place that I will never forget, and one that I would urge anyone to visit in order to gain a deeper understanding of the human cost of war.

Tôi là người Việt Nam. Chắc chắn mọi người đang thắc mắc tại sao bọn trẻ lại thân thiện như vậy? Kể cả với những người từng là kẻ thù của chúng tôi. Cũng khá dễ hiểu thôi, chúng tôi chỉ dạy bọn trẻ về lòng yêu nước, về những gì cha ông bọn trẻ đã trải qua để bọn trẻ có được độc lập tự do như ngày hôm nay. Chúng tôi không đưa vào đầu chúng những thứ thù địch tiêu cực. Nói như vậy không phải do người Việt Nam chúng tôi nhu nhược. Nỗi đau và mất mác do chiến tranh chúng tôi không bao giờ quên. Chính vì thế đừng hỏi tại sao chúng tôi yêu đất nước mình và yêu độc lập tự do đến vậy.
Thank you for this message, I translated it. It was an honor for me to be in your country. 🙏
I did a cycling tour in Vietnam from Hue to Nha Trang in 2019 and practically every kid we rode by would yell out "Hello" with a wave. Fun!
They are super happy and friendly, the future is bright for Vietnam with these amazing youngsters.
Thank you for coming back. Military museums are everywhere in our country, which is the pain of the Vietnamese people due to being beaten by many people. All of our children are taken to the war museum to learn respect, love, forgiveness and understand: "Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom" - Ho Chi Minh.
Thank you! It was an honor to be in your country. Thank you for telling me about the children, they made me very emotional. This video is the most important video I ever done. I hope to be back in Vietnam soon. Thank you.
One of the wonderful things about SE Asia is the fact that, pretty much without exception, the children are all so happy, polite, and respectful. So nice to see that. I had an emotional moment, like yourself, when at the War Museum in Saigon. There was a room there with extremely graphic pictures of the war casualties, both children and adults, that were just too much to handle. From those missing limbs to those who were extremely deformed due to Agent Orange exposure. And, as an American, there I was, feeling no animosity towards me from the Vietnamese people who went through that horrific time.
Yes mate, seeing the happy kids in that situation and where I was, I just crumbled.
The young people here are amazing, I've never had so.much love and welcoming anywhere. Cheer buddy.
Same here. Those herbicides still do harm.
If you look at a larger context, there ought to be a different kind of VN war museum, the one that will depict a different kind of horror, namely the internal genocide brought forth from North VN by the VCs (Vietnamese Communists) who destroyed, annihilated and decimated the land, the people and their culture and history in the South where once a country called South Vietnam existed. All that happened long before AND after the American intervention (so don't let that "intervention" fool you.) That museum will be built someday, probably not in today's VN. But it will definitely be built somewhere else, and will be named the VN Holocaust Museum, to memorialize what really happened.
@@newhorizon4066 You cannot display something that does not exist. Keep that wish until you leave this life. We are fed up with this and that cruel communist propaganda from the Western propaganda system. Want to know the truth of Vietnam. Come to Vietnam yourself to experience like the person who posted the video clip.
@@newhorizon4066you are not human
Amazing yet disturbing video. Those happy kids are such a contrast to the devastating suffering of war. 😢
I've never seen happy youngsters like i've seen in Vietnam. They are a true credit. The future is bright for Vietnam. Thanks mate.
When Anthony Bourdain discussed his time in Vietnam, he spoke with Vietnamese veterans, who fought on the other side. It's not as if the veterans forgot the atrocities that occurred during the war, but whatever resentment they had at the time, they let it go a long time ago, and rather than expecting guilt from Bourdain, an American from New York, they welcomed him instead, inviting him to eat and drink with them (partly because from my experience as an Vietnamese American, Vietnamese love to drink, and look for any opportunity to socially drink). It's not like Vietnam is okay with being conquered; they'll often resist actually, but yesterday's enemy is today's friend as the saying goes. The Vietnamese often adapt and assimilate certain aspects of other cultures, even France and China, rather than reject them because of past history. Sometimes we in the "Western" world believe that the rest of the world should learn from us, but there's actually a lot that the Western world can learn from everyone else. Depending on where you are, I hope you enjoy or enjoyed your stay in Vietnam.
Hey Jin, this was a great comment to read. Thank you so much.🇻🇳
@@WalkAboutWayne Your welcome. Thanks for taking the time to read it.
Well said my friend, well said.
I have to go there one day. My cousin went in 71. I was young, but I still remember when his number was pulled for the draft. He wound up getting his knees shot out. I spent 12 years in the US Navy, and although I never made it to Vietnam, I did get to Japan and saw the Nagasaki museum in Nagasaki Peace Park. It's horrible what humans are capable of sometimes.
Respect to you Brian. Great to read your comment.
Naturally happy and very respectful children, a sight to behold and a pleasure to see and against Vietnam's tragic history I can fully appreciate your moment Wayne, great vlog fella thanks.
Thank you !🙏
Great video, Wayne. Living in Cambodia, I can relate to how those kinds of places make you feel. Seeing people who have been through so much live with such happiness and joy is incredibly humbling.
Thank you! Yes, this was a day i will never forget. This is my greatest video, it means the most to me. The kids are amazing, full of joy and happiness. Thanks mate.
I found this to be the most moving experience of my life. I had to leave twice to compose myself before going back inside. I just wish everyone could visit this place.
Yes, this was a tough video for me Peter, seeing the kids tipped me over the edge, it all got to much for me. This is my most treasured video.
Let's not forget the Gift that Keeps on Giving: It is estimated that more than 3 million land mines/UXO/cluster munitions remain buried in Vietnam. Since 1975, over 40,000 Vietnamese have died from these deadly remnants of war, and over 60,000 have been injured.
Yes, that is very sad 😭
You are a good man Wayne, I could see you finding it difficult.
Thank you buddy! Yes, it was a choker of a day.
Those kids were delightful, so happy to see Wayne The Superstar. Such great manners
They was awesome mate! They are the superstars. Thanks.
Seeing all those happy kids is great. Wasn’t just a top video for you, Wayne. We all learned something.. not just about the past, but, what to avoid in the future. Da Nang will surely get visitors from your videos. I know I’ll make a trip someday. Great and important video!
Thank you so much! The kids was so happy and vibrant. I tried to hold it together but i failed. Thanks for the kind words.
Got me teary too. Thanks for sharing, stay safe.
Thanks Les 🙏
Hey Wayne, the way you conducted yourself throughout this vlog was stellar! You got me all emotional too 😢 it's such a departure to see this side of you in this vlog. You're a smashing guy & a great ambassador to England! 🇬🇧
Don't start me off again Gary. Thank you so much mate, that comment means a lot.🙏
You wear your heart on your sleeve mate and that's why your subscribers are here. Your integrity is your word, and you have never renegged. Great vlog.
Thanks Randy, appreciate it mate.
. It was a senseless war. In my neighborhood many sons did not come home . I thought I was getting drafted then they stopped the draft and I just graduated high-school seeing all that I never went in.
👍
Noticed you not wearing a cyclist's helmet mate. You sure are game on those roads.
A special place full of history and not pleasant memories so yeah Wayne I can fully understand your emotions as many that would have been grandparents of those kids were likely lost forever. I guess as brutal as it might be it is important those children are educated in respect of what happened there in that region and their own country between 1955 and 1975. Great video mate. Thanks for taking us all there 🤩
I should have one mate, you're right, no excuses. It was a special day buddy, one I'll never forget. The future will be great with these young Vietnamese. Thanks.
"it is important those children are educated in respect of what happened there in that region and their own country between 1955 and 1975. " Not in a million years, uh, make that 10 millions...They learn plenty of newly scripted fairy tales though. Don't forget HCM was Mao number 1 disciple.
I think you made those kids day Wayne! All military museums are sobering places, and for good reason.
Thanks Tanya, they definitely made my day. Vietnam's future is bright with the vibrant youth.
Thanks for Sharing brother ! Keep the videos coming man. 👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Thank you buddy!👍
When I went to the Peace Memorial Museum in Hiroshima, there was a young American woman in tears and she was crying "No, I can't go back in there, How could we do such a thing?" It brought me to tears. I could feel your emotion because I felt the same. Could you imagine a group of school children like that being blown to pieces by bombs, it's just too horrible to think of, and yet the majority of deaths in war are innocent civilians.
Hiroshima was nothing compared to the Firebombing of Tokyo. You might research a bit just how firebombing an entire city works, and I mean the physics of it. As Robert McNamara correctly stated, the firebombing of Tokyo was a war crime. Those responsible were never prosecuted, obviously due to the fact that the criminals did not lose the war.
@@YuChiGongG Yes I know all about the fire bombing, and yes many more died in Tokyo, deliberate targeting of civilians. And Gen. LeMay wanted to drop 13 Nuclear bombs on Japanese cities.
Nice one Paul, it is difficult mate. The kids and the situation of where I was, made me crumble. It's a day I will never forget and have this video for the memory. Thanks mate.
Wayne man, I'm really enjoying these Vietnam-vlogs because I, too, love Vietnam, and you do this vlogging-thing so brilliantly, it's great to see your perspective on one of my favourite places in the world. Top-level entertainment.
Touching scene there with them kids ! I saw the war museum in Saigon, and that room with those graphic photos Steven Millar mentioned below, and have heard the stories from some Vietnamese combat veterans, and - I'll just say, I get it ! This vlog is certainly right up there with your best so far !
Hey Winston, it was really nice to read your comment. Thank you so much. It was a real emotional day, especially seeing meeting the kids. This video means the most to me. Thanks again buddy!
Awesome vlog, Wayne. I had the good fortune to work with a Vietnam vet a few years ago. Fortunately, he was one who didn't mind recounting his experiences during the war and gave me some really good insights as to what it was like as a soldier. I hope at some point that you get to interview someone who lived through it as a citizen (or soldier). I would be very interested to get their perspective.
Nice one Earl ! If i get the chance to chat with someone i will.
"I hope at some point that you get to interview someone who lived through it as a citizen (or soldier)" - or better yet, one "boat people" person who fled after the Communists took over. Hurry, 50 years have since passed, this breed is dying off at a rapid pace, of old age (and a few other "things.")
@@newhorizon4066You seem so lost. Stop groan!
Great Blog. When I go to Vietnam it will certainly be a mission for truth as my country lied to me.
Thanks man! It's well worth a visit.
Really awesome video Wayne. You can see how much reverence and respect you have for the history and country. ☺️
Thanks Kirsty! Yes, this one meant alot🙏
Great video. I am going there tomorrow.
Nice! I’m sure you’ll have a nice time here buddy. This was one my fondest memories. Especially meeting all the kids. It’s a vlog that I’ll never forget.
I have not come to any war museum even though I am Vietnamese. I heard my father who lived in that period talke a lot about life during the war. I think I should go to war museum soon after watching yr video.
It was very emotional for me Hang. Vietnam is a great country. 🇻🇳
A very powerful video Wayne. I think this was one of your best. I cried and cried just watching those beautiful, happy kids swarming around you. You were great with them. A truly memorable insight into this vibrant culture.
Thanks Andrew, this video means the most to me. Soon as i seen the kids i crumbled. They was so happy and vibrant. Thanks again mate.
A great city wayne 👍👍
It sure is Mike 👍
thank you for posting this video it brings a lot if memoirs from the war
Thanks buddy.
if you ever make to Cambodia visit the killing fields memorial right outside of phnom penh@@WalkAboutWayne
The happiest and friendliest kids I've ever met are in SE Asia. I'll never forget one time we were at a food market, we got our food and my girlfriend went to get drinks she was gone for 1 minute and in that time I had five kids sat next to me all taking turns to arm wrestle me, The biggest smiles on their faces when they won haha. Like all places it has the bad and good but the good outweighs the bad by so much, if you've never been make sure it's on your list of places. Absolutely beautiful.
Yes, seeing the happy kids was very special and emotional. Asian kids seem a lot more well behaved than western kids.
Isn’t it great to see happy and well behaved kids, same in Thailand also. Can’t be said about a lot of kids in the UK and USA
So true that mate.
You are doing a great job showing DaNang - I think that war museum is great
& educational - Thanks WW 👋😃🙏
Thanks Ant, i loved doing this vlog.
Great to see you in Vietnam. You are very respectful to the great people of Vietnam, as you are the people of Thailand. While you're there, watch Michael Portillo's Great Railway Journeys in Vietnam. I really enjoyed seeing the children - makes me want to go there and teach. You'd make a great teacher too. You have star qualities ⭐
Thank you so much. I think I've seen that program before, i use to watch it back home.
Cám ơn Wayne! Thanks Wayne!
Thank you 🙏
Nếu ai đó khiêu khích hoặc có từ ngữ chạm đến lòng tự tôn dân tộc việt nam thì chúng tôi luôn ghi nhớ.
I translated your comment. Thank you !
I haven't been back there ,since I was ,there ,in 1975, When I got drafted I was a gunnery sergeant, Spend my service time in a M-48 tank, I just Graduated, and I got drafted right after that, I was 17.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this. This museum was very emotional for me, especially seeing the children.
The innocence & friendliness of the children is beautiful Wayne . I would have been emotional ..It's still raw for many , so much conflict , the bombing of Laos & Cambodia , the overthrow of Pol Pot & the Kampuchea regime by Vietnam & the stifling sanctions .
Wayne , you would find The " Killing Fields " & Kanchanaburi province " Hellfire Pass " , museum & immaculate cemeteries equally moving . Great Vlogg mate thnx
Thank you Paul mate. Them other places sound interesting, maybe I'll heck them out sometime. 👍
Great video,Wayne.Impossible not to get emotional.
Thanks mate.
Heading to Da Nang in 2 weeks. Will be my first time in SE Asia. Didnt know Da Nang had a war museum ! Will def check it out when im there. Great videos
Thanks Damien! Da Nang is a great city and the military museum is well worth visiting. Enjoy your trip buddy!
Kids can certainly pull at your heart strings.
Seeing them happy kids, in that moment, in that situation and in this country, it choked me up, i crumbled.
@@WalkAboutWayne I hear you Wayne. I have similar emotions in Cambodia.
I’m moving back to Japan in 2 years and I’m going to get over there and check that out.
It's well worth a visit. I'll never forget this day.
Thank you Wayne. I get what you mean and why we get emotional about this stuff. Wonderful to see all those kids! You are a great ambassador of kindness for those kids. Love this video!!
Thanks Erik, means alot ready that comment mate. Yes, I crumbled when I seen the kids. Emotional day.
Hate to continue. But has to be said. Vietnam lost over a million people in the war. Including thousands of kids, like the ones you have meant. It is strange that we invade a country then call them "insurgents". Was our George Washington a insurgent? For maybe the first time I had tears about the war when watching your video. But our media is horrible about showing the truth. Because we have been doing the same in the middle east for over 25 years. A million dead in Iraq. 500,000 babys starved in Iraq in the 90s because of our sanctions against baby formula. The sec. Of state, Madeline Albright, said it was necessary. She later apologized. And thousands killed in Afghanistan, many innocent civilians by our "errant" drone attacks. We have bombed or helped to bomb 7 countries over there. Then leave massive amounts of military gear. Money laundering, some call it.Not just America. Other western powers took part. There were real peace talks in early 60s. The Tonkin bay incident was a farce. And peace talks recently in the Ukraine. But smothered by politicians. Boris Johnson, for one. Remember, "war is big business" as Gen. Smedley Butler said in the 1930s. I think it was Gen. Westmoreland who wanted to nuke North Vietnam.(Then what?). WW3 is casual talk now by politicians and some journalists. Anyway, I want to return to Vietnam and hug those kids. I was wounded there. But blame those really responsible, not those kids. Some vets still hate them. Maybe I can return there with you. By the way, there are sources for the above. Forgot...years ago I found a 1960s anti Viet anti war book. My photo is in it guarding a elderly Viet lady clasping her hands in fear, while her village is being damaged by other Marines. I have felt worse about her than any damage being done. But again, the same is going on in the middle east with our "insurgent" wars. But our media won't cover these acts like they did in Vietnam. Not allowed anymore. Sorry, for the gloom and doom. Robert can still be silly. Thanks.
👍👍
It’s Ok Robert, we have moved on. It’s time to make money for better life now. Cheers up mate :)
Wayne...I mentioned before that I was in the war. Found out much later that I had agent orange problems. Also have PTSD.We also sprayed other herbicides that still harm the Viet people, and our vets. Like agent blue. About 4 million gallons was sprayed. Associated with bladder cancer. I am sorry our p.o.w.s were tortured. But look what we did to the Iraquis. Often with no proof of terrorism.( Iraq did not do 9/11). Anyway We had no problems on our vet tour a few years ago. Very friendly Viet people, like those kids. But our military draft was very unfair. Mostly poor guys. Also, I have a book by a Viet Cong vet, with his experiences. But can't find it now. I will share it when I find it.Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Robert. If you find the book, let me know.
It’s so nice to hear from real Vet talk. We, Vietnamese love peace. My family lossed 05 peoles in December 1972 because of B52 bomb(in Hanoi)all of them are my Aunty& son ,we just normal peole, we did nothing wrong. Still hurting☹️
🙏🙏🙏
@@WalkAboutWayne thankyou, we still pray for them rest in Peace by special ceremony on 27-12 every year to remmember them🙏🏼, much appreciated!
Vietnam is great Hung 🇻🇳🇻🇳❤️
Thanks, Wayne!
Cheers Randy.
Love to you from Diné Nation 🕊️
Vietnam sounds like a good tour.
I would love to visit:)
Thanks you! I hope you can visit Vietnam one day.
THanks you Wayne welcome to Viet Nam
Thank you🙏
Good un Wayne....yep Scary shit that happend !! I flew from Hong Kong direct to Phuket....bypassing Shit hole Bangkok....flew with Flying Tigers Airlines...very Kool...flying over Viet Nam & Cambodia...was amazing !! like small lake's from the all the bomb craters',,,, Lot's !!!! Amazing to say the Least !!!
Thanks man 🙏
We should all be proud of our government and our parents when we see how wonderful job they did in Vietnam and all amazing things they did to the Vietnamese people.
Hmmmm, not sure about that one.

Ever heard about sarcasm?😉
@@sonnysantino7849 Oh, I get you now. 👍
Fantastic stuff mate.
Cheers David👍
bro, so what are your plans ?
Will stay the whole month in Danang ?
Brilliant move to go there man ... !!
It will all unfold on the vlogs mate 👍
In all seriousness now, Salute 🫡 to The Fallen Heroes on all sides in this madness.. 😢😢
Well said mate👏
This reminds me.. I have been trying, for years, to visit the Royal Thai Air Force Museum in Chiang Mai. Pretty much hit a brick wall, it's on the grounds of the military side of the Chiang Mai airport. Whatever information you find online is way out of date, the phone numbers don't work. I've been to the one in Bangkok three or four times, it's fantastic. They actually have an honest to goodness Spitfire. The one in Chiang Mai has the remains of an American P-40 that was shot down after a raid on Chiang Mai airport during WW2. If you ever find out anything please let us know!
I never knew about that, maybe one day I'll try to find out about it . Cheers 🍻
Nice vlog Wayno 👌
Just my opinion but both democratic and communist governments all over the world have continuously sent their people to their deaths in senseless wars for centuries. The majority of Vietnamese and foreigners never wanted the war and just want to live a happy and peaceful life❤
Well said mate.
"The majority of Vietnamese and foreigners never wanted the war and just want to live a happy and peaceful life" - Really? Says who? That's not how Uncle Ho indoctrinated the VCs aka Vietnamese Communists.
*Communist and Capitalist
The real democracy governments will never send their soldiers to killing, only stay neutral, try to solve everything with words instead of war
Those Vietnamese kids are far more outgoing then American kids thats for sure
I will always remember this video. The kids made it extra special.
POWERFUL THANKS WAYNE
Thanks Les 👍
Hi Wayne, great Vlog mate. Cheers Steve
Nice one Steve, thanks buddy 👍
6:49 The irony here is, the name of the village (An Toàn) means Safe in Vietnamese :)
Really, I didn't know that 😞.
don't run across the road in VN mate, make eye contact with the traffic headed at you and walk calmly and steadily across the road and they will go around you!! if you think Danang is nuts you should check out Ho Chi Minh City!! that will freak you out!!! lol They beep just to let ya know they are there.. not that you are doing anything wrong... its just a polite notification of thier presence on the road and it requires TOTAL awareness of your surroundings at ALL times!! it really is something to experience!! lol and check out the SGN War Museum.. oh and to them its known as the 'American War'.. as they been invaded so many times over the last 1000yrs!! Hopefully never again!!!
Yep, it's to let you know they're coming. It's kinda good way of doing things really. Think i'll give Ho Chi Minh traffic a miss buddy. Damn straight you need eyes everywhere. Cheers man
There was a huge American military base in Da nang. Also if you get a chance visit the war museum in Saigon.
I shed a fewctears.
That's right Barry, some remains are still here of the air base. I would love to see the Saigon museum, that one looks amazing. It was an emotional day. Thanks.
What was the MEANING of the Vietnam war? According to Noam: “The US government was defeated in Indochina, but only bruised at home. No outside power will compel us to face the record honestly or to offer reparations. On the contrary, efforts will be devoted to obscuring the history of the war and the domestic resistance to it. There are some simple facts that we should try to save as the custodians of history set to work.
In its essence, the Indochina war was a war waged by the US and such local forces as it could organise against the rural population of South Vietnam. Regarding the Geneva Accords of 1954 as a “disaster,” Washington at once undertook a program of subversion throughout the region to undermine the political arrangements. A murderous repression in South Vietnam led to the renewal of resistance. Kennedy involved US forces in counter-insurgency, bombing, and “population control.”
The Meaning of Vietnam
Noam Chomsky
The New York Review of Books, June 12, 1975
"The US government was unable to subdue the forces of revolutionary nationalism in Indochina, but the American people are a less resilient enemy. If the apologists for state violence succeed in reversing their ideological defeats of the past years, the stage will be set for a renewal of armed intervention in the case of “local subversion or rebellion” that threatens to extricate some region from the US-dominated global system. A prestigious study group twenty years ago identified the primary threat of “communism” as the economic transformation of the communist powers “in ways which reduce their willingness and ability to complement the industrial economies of the West.” The American effort to contain this threat in Indochina was blunted, but the struggle will doubtless continue elsewhere. Its issue will be affected, if not determined, by the outcome of the ideological conflict over “the lessons of Vietnam.”"
Think about it.
We all love Chomsky...If we also love our world.
Time is running out.
Act now, or embrace oblivion and the end of organized human society, for all time.
You know Noam is right.
👍
Enjoying your video's Wayne.But please wear that cycle helmet .
Thanks Richard.
amazing 🎉
Thanks 😄
Bloody hell, Wayne. Flogging a crappy push bike across a 4 lane bridge!!! Reckon you'd be safer dipping your hands in the pocket and renting a motorcycle. Take a few test runs around the block until you get comfortable with the traffic.
4 lanes make it doable. I would be sweating more wit 2. It is crazy though mate. I actually miss the relaxed Chiang Mai roads 😊
@Walk-About Wayne be safe mate. Enjoyed the sights around the war museum and all the inquisitive school kids. I'm planning a trip over this year.
@@WalkAboutWayne Before this trip is over, one might imagine that the relaxed roads will not be the only thing you will be missing about Chiang Mai, the greatest city, and the greatest province in the world. I have lived over 40 years in East Asia, and I thank my lucky stars that I found my way to Chiang Mai, just due to an offhand remark from a good friend in NYC. If one cannot find happiness and contentment in Chiang Mai, at least if one is older than 40, then one can probably not find it almost anywhere. I mean, even if you were to live in that so-called paradise, Hawaii, you would need to daily worry about being called a HAOLE.
@@ChilloutLars Nice one Lars mate
The children using there learned english phrases was amazing to watch. Lol
Highlight of my trip was doing this video. The children was amazing.
nice blog... surely M means meter in 100M not miles
Thanks! Yes, your right, it must be 100 meters. 100 miles would be unthinkable
Wayne get some coffee you'll be okay😅
👍
OOOOOOOOOOOOH. A CESSNA! A M48!A HUEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG HOW DID I NOT VISIT HERE WHEN I CAME TO DA NANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a great museum, well worth a visit.
No heros in war
Sure there is, the innocent people. They're all heros 🎖️
All that fighting just to make the Arms makers rich ...
👍
what are they teaching the children in school about the war? well, i don't think they are teaching them hate.
I'm sure it wouldn't be any hate.
The Vietnamese viewpoint is "forgive but not forget". History is an important part of Vietnamese people. We have experienced similar or worse things throughout our 4000 year long history. Including nearly 1000 years under Chinese rule. Because we do not deny history, we still exist today. Children should never be taught hatred, but history must be learned to preserve and promote our advantages and correct mistakes if encountered. We are always evolving and reaching the strongest adaptation and assimilation. Even if aliens come here, Vietnamese people will always exist and help other races when possible.
A MIG-21 TOO???!!!!!!
I can't remember
Should brought along Boris along so he knows what he had created when he stopped the Ukraine peace deal in April 2022.

If you look at a larger context, there ought to be a different kind of VN war museum, the one that will depict a different kind of horror, namely the internal genocide brought forth from North VN by the VCs (Vietnamese Communists) who destroyed, annihilated and decimated the land, the people and their culture and history in the South where once a country called South Vietnam existed. All that happened long before AND after the American intervention (so don't let that "intervention" fool you.) That museum will be built someday, probably not in today's VN. But it will definitely be built somewhere else, and will be named the VN Holocaust Museum, to memorialize what really happened.

You cannot display something that does not exist. Keep that wish until you leave this life. We are fed up with this and that cruel communist propaganda from the Western propaganda system. Want to know the truth of Vietnam. Come to Vietnam yourself to experience like the person who posted the video clip.

Hey, Man! Are you still the greatest Vlogger of Chiang Mai? Or, have you gone over to the Dark Side like Vader? (When you do your VLOG-submission in comparison of the two countries, Thailand and Vietnam, please focus on the aspect of AGGRESSION: physical aggression, verbal aggression, anger and hostility
Why? When choosing a country or culture to live, EVERYBODY and his Mother should consider AGGRESSION as a key deciding parameter that must be evaluated. I know there are guys on here who agree.
From Wikipedia: "Humans share aspects of aggression with non-human animals, and have specific aspects and complexity related to factors such as genetics, early development, social learning and flexibility, culture and morals. Konrad Lorenz stated in his 1963 classic, On Aggression, that human behavior is shaped by four main, survival-seeking animal drives. Taken together, these drives-hunger, fear, reproduction, and aggression-achieve natural selection.[117] E. O. Wilson elaborated in On Human Nature that aggression is, typically, a means of gaining control over resources. Aggression is, thus, aggravated during times when high population densities generate resource shortages.[118] According to Richard Leakey and his colleagues, aggression in humans has also increased by becoming more interested in ownership and by defending his or her property.[119] However, UNESCO adopted the Seville Statement of Violence in 1989 that refuted claims, by evolutionary scientists, that genetics by itself was the sole cause of aggression.[120][121]
Social and cultural aspects may significantly interfere with the distinct expression of aggressiveness. For example, a high population density, when associated with a decrease of available resources, might be a significant intervening variable for the occurrence of violent acts.[122]
Culture
Culture is one factor that plays a role in aggression. Tribal or band societies existing before or outside of modern states have sometimes been depicted as peaceful 'noble savages'. The ǃKung people were described as 'The Harmless People' in a popular work by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas in 1958,[123] while Lawrence Keeley's 1996 War Before Civilization suggested that regular warfare without modern technology was conducted by most groups throughout human history, including most Native American tribes.[124] Studies of hunter-gatherers show a range of different societies. In general, aggression, conflict and violence sometimes occur, but direct confrontation is generally avoided and conflict is socially managed by a variety of verbal and non-verbal methods. Different rates of aggression or violence, currently or in the past, within or between groups, have been linked to the structuring of societies and environmental conditions influencing factors such as resource or property acquisition, land and subsistence techniques, and population change.[125]
American psychologist Peter Gray hypothesizes that band hunter-gatherer societies are able to reduce aggression while maintaining relatively peaceful, egalitarian relations between members through various methods, such as fostering a playful spirit in all areas of life, the use of humor to counter the tendency of any one person to dominate the group, and non-coercive or "indulgent" child-rearing practices. Gray likens hunter-gatherer bands to social play groups, while stressing that such play is not frivolous or even easy at all times.[126] According to Gray, "Social play-that is, play involving more than one player-is necessarily egalitarian. It always requires a suspension of aggression and dominance along with a heightened sensitivity to the needs and desires of the other players"."
Firstly, I'm not "The greatest Chiang Mai Vlogger". That title belongs to Brett Dev and always will.
Secondly, My vlogs will be how i see things and not influenced by anybody.
Thirdly, Although i agree with some of what you say (and i will be touching on some of these subjects soon) just calm down a bit . I know you love Chiang Mai, nobody loves Chiang Mai more than me (as you'll see is some coming vlogs and what I've shown the previous 4 years) but it's ok to be somewhere else also.
I love you being on the channel buddy and the comments, but just calm down a bit. I still love Chiang Mai, don't worry.
PS. Thailand is no stranger to aggression also.
@@WalkAboutWayne Calm is the watchword. (And, as you say, never pandering is the only way to Vlog.)
