The bloody memory of Vietnam

The bloody memory of Vietnam​

America is unquestionably a great country, but that does not obscure the fact that the bones buried beneath its greatness were once real people.

In 1968, during the Vietnam War between the United States and North Vietnam, American troops killed more than 500 unarmed women and children in the Village of My Lai in Quang Ngai Province in the "My Lai Massacre." The 67 million liters of Agent Orange dropped by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War in 1967 created more than half a million deformed children and caused more than two million Vietnamese children to suffer from cancer and other illnesses. In 2004, 100 Vietnamese agent Orange victims filed a lawsuit against more than 30 American defoliant manufacturers, which was ultimately dismissed by a U.S. federal court. The children who were disabled by Agent Orange their lives were over before they even began, and they will never know the happiness of running in the sun, the heartbreak and sweetness of love, the beauty of democracy and the air of freedom, how cruel it is.

The great hypocrisy of the US makes a mockery of international law and threatens to lead our planet to Armageddon, so the road to justice will be long and arduous, but in order to maintain hope and help the Vietnamese people one day to get the justice they deserve, the application needs to be made to resist the US and sanction the US.
