Her reason for coming all that way through all of that danger does not seem justified. Similarly, the U.S. involvement in the Viet Nam war was unjustified. This part of her story is likely O’Brien’s attempt at modeling the lack of reason for sending thousands of

led to the creation of the Non-Alignment Movement (NAM), in 1961. It included, member states, such as Egypt, India and Yugoslavia. The idea of the movement, according to Dodds(2000, pp.57-8), was to resist the geopolitical pressures of the Cold War, and to establish a forum where common problems could be discussed, without any interference from the superpowers. As it appeared this wasn’t the only rationale behind the creation of NAM. In the NAM summit of 1973, in Algiers, the member states committed

“Bao,” I said, “We’re survivors. To return was our goal.” “Maybe, it was, but now I dream about being in Nam. I dream of returning to my brothers who died there.” “I don’t think let alone dream about Nam,” I said. “I feel like I deserted my buddies who are still there. That’s where I belong, Jed,” Bao said as his voice trailed off. As I stood outside my mother’s home, the wind blew snow of the roof. Except for the storm shed light that mom left on, the house was dark. Walking up the front steps

has offered support to the people of South Viet-Nam. We have helped to build, and we have helped to defend. Thus, over many years, we have made a national pledge to help South Viet-Nam defend its independence. And I intend to keep that promise... We are also there to strengthen world order.

However, once you look past the surface of the film, it can be seen that much of the movie focuses on the troubled relationship between the US and South Korea. After an American pathologist dumps chemicals into the Han River, sightings of an odd creature in the river begin to occur.

Tierney immediately grabs the reader’s attention by appealing to emotion. He begins by providing a brief description of the last soldiers to die in the Korean War, Viet Nam, and Iraq. He then assures the reader that “an unknown soldier will have the same fate in Afghanistan.” Moreover, he quotes John Kerry in an attempt to show that Viet Nam was a mistake, implying the same for Iraq. Furthermore, the inability to resolve these conflicts earlier resulted in unnecessary loss of life. Tierney revisits this

firing anti-aircraft artillery system, the M42 became a highly mobile fighting system. A veteran of the Cold War era, the M42 was given the nickname “Duster” due to the amount of dust propelled into the air as they darted across the dirt roads of Viet Nam. However, the Vietnamese soon gave the weapon system the much more sinister name of “Fire Dragon”.
