This is mainly due to their own selfishness governed by the self-centered Confucian basis that everyone is his or her own lord of the rest of the world. No wonder the country has been lost to the commies for almost 40 years with no hope of ever returning Look at the recent event of the petition in US for Viet Khang, the singer imprisoned vy Vietnamese communist government. It was just a petition required the hundreds thousands of signatures so the White House would look at which they obviously ignored. Yet the Vietnamese catholics at the time already spreaded out many emails encouraged their members to boycott other participants such as people from the Boatpoeple SOS, Viet-Tan, etc out of concern that these organizations are taking away the potential of the Viet catholic ' s power. Such idiotic and self-serving actions can only be condemned at best that betray the trust of Vietnamese people and really help the communists to last longer. Boatpeople SOS is the organization that fought and freed many slave and sexually exploited workers exported by corrupted VC government labours' programs. Viet-Tan was the Vietnamese nationalist patriotic movement that took arms to fight against communists in the 80s. In the mean time, VCs are winning big times with their open arms programs soliciting oversea talents coming back home. It once again concretely proves that the way Viets oversea fighting by verbally self-praising and denouncing everyone who disagrees with them is not working. Vietnam 's democracy future is far away from bright or hopeful. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. If it ever comes, it is a train. Wish we have lots of people like General Truong on the political front. Regarding the political front, the Vietnamese oversea are mostly without any real leadership.

But after I learned recently that it was the Americans that deliberately stop sending arms to Viet Nam after the Paris Peace Accord of 1973 , I was , and still disillusionned on why they abandoned their ally to the Communist north Vietnamese arter all those years of fighting together , spilling their sweat , blood and guts against the Communist North Vietnamese and the rest of the communist hordes . Had the Americans at least , continue to supply arms and fighter aircrafts spare parts to the South Vietnamese , or like the present situation in the North African country of Libya , providing covering airstrikes for the Libyan rebels in their fight against the Gaddhafi regime , who knows ? the soverign nation of the Free Republic Of Viet Nam might still exists today as we speak All this time , I thought it was the South Vietnamese that was corrupt and incompetent .

Of course, General Truong was a well qualified ARVN hero as stated and I've had the pleasure and honor of meeting and visiting with him and his wife in San Francisco in 1990. After that visit, Truong sent me a copy of 4-star General Norman Schwarzkopf's letter to him dated 26 February 1991, after Operation Desert Storm, that I would like to quote verbatim below: "Dear General Truong, "Thank you for your note. It makes me very proud that you are proud of me because you are one of my greatest teachers. Many of the strategies that I use everyday on this battlefield in the Middle East are things that you taught me so well 25 years ago when we were comrades at arms in Vietnam. "It has always brought joy to me to know that you were able to escape to the United States, even though to this day one of the darkest days of my life was when your great country was overrun by the enemies from the north. Nevertheless, some of the proudest memories of my entire Army career have been, and always will be, those days when you and I fought side by side for the cause of Freedom. "I hope that when this war is over we will have an opportunity to see each other some time. "Sincerely, (signed) H. Norman Schwarzkopf, General, U.S. Army" I told my friend General Truong that I could not control my tears after reading that heart-felt letter from a former American comrade-in-arms and co-warrior.
