Oh yes I know it ! My father made war from 1948 to 1952 (French war, we call it :"guerre d'Indochine" because Cambodge and Thailand was in this conflict for their independance) before Americans, after the defeat of "Diên Biên Phu" ( November 1954) the Vietnam was share in two part : North (communist) and South (capitalist... ??)
My father speak each day about it (also the II World WAR and Algeria war....) *LAZY* :D :D
