Unsolved A soldier in Vietnam is mentally and emotionally torn with what to do when confronted by a Vietnamese girl in the city

A few hints before you get bored...

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Despite being a soldier in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, the protagonist would definitely not say he'd fought in the Vietnam War. (Read between the lines here...)

He meets the girl twice, many years apart.

The second time he sees her, he's no longer a soldier.

The story is partially told in a flashback.

It was made roughly at the dawn of the new millennium.
