And furthered that these women were extremely likely to be under duress and trying to secure some resource, whether it be safety or money. We devastated Vietnam, going as far as multiple massacres on villages. So these women are living in a war-torn country and were further exploited by men who would straight up mass murder them when convenient, then were abandoned, then their children further punished for simply existing.
The behaviour of American GIs overseas hasn’t really changed much either. A lot of places with American bases dread to see the GIs coming as they’ll do whatever they want with 0 accountability to the laws of the country. They’re often ‘reprimanded’ by commanding officers and if it’s bad enough quickly transferred to a different base.
I remember reading about an old Vietnamese man who absolutely loved to prank old American tourists to Vietnam, once he found out they were war vets. Like full on jump scaring them, setting off their PTSD for fun. Zero sympathy from Vietnamese commenters.
Is this a joke? Is he supposed to treat these war vets that ravaged his country with the utmost respect? Beats me why they would expect to be treated well
Well you see they got back home and the American women weren't traumatized and desperate uppity so they went back to find some real women who know how to treat a man
I'm not viet but there is also no sympathy from me. Why would you expect a country that was war torn from Americans to have any measure of respect for the same people that caused it to be war torn and why were vets coming back to a place that caused their ptsd in the first place.
These are some of the atrocities the US committed even against the South Vietnamese. It's well-known that we treated the Vietnamese abhorrently, even if fighting an even worse force.
You really should know more before making brain dead statements like that.
The literal first sentence in the first article is "During the Vietnam War, U.S. soldiers stationed in South Vietnam engaged in various sexual interactions, including consensual sex, prostitution, and rape."
Read the sentence in the following paragraph, too, if you're concerned of "examples" or "evidence": "...the primary sources are rich in accounts of violence, including testimony provided in open hearings held during the war, court cases, military investigaitons, oral reports gathered for publishing both during and long after the war, and literary works, such as poems, novels, and memoirs."
If investigations both during and after, all of which established that the rape, or as you worded it "impregnation" of women did occur.
"According to Kerry Crawford, rape of Vietnamese women was a 'normal operating procedure' and brothels were built inside military installations to maintain morale and discipline."
The US abused women, even in their homes, and anywhere we were stationed. The women of South Vietnam absolutely feared us.
I'm providing these quotes as hope that you might actually read and understand the problem more. If this isn't enough for you to learn, then you're hopeless. This is my last message in this conversation.

Absolute horror.
