    You’ve had comments removed before for fascist apologia and hate speech. That’s not what you’ve done here, but let’s get this straight.

    The Vietnamese wars started in 1946 against the French Colonialist government, and American involvement began in 1955 with their illegal invasion beginning in 1965. That uncle, regardless of where he’s placed in time, would’ve been a Colonial policeman. I.E. A supporter of the French government and opposed Ho Chi Minh’s revolution. It would not, therefore, be unlikely for the rest of his family to be of the same opinion. If they got harsh treatment - and I don’t believe they did without evidence - it would likely have been on the basis of their counter-revolutionary nature.

    Many immigrants from “enemy” nations will feel compelled to lie about conditions in their home countries, in an effort to be accepted by our white supremacist culture. And that one reads exactly like the kind of stuff someone in that position would say.
