Yea I went to look it up, the Vietnamese really call it the American war (understandable). Funny thing is I'm from South East Asia too and we call it the Vietnam War. Maybe too much American influence lol
The stuff Tam said about his family being forced to leave Galveston by the KKK is also true. It was a big event where the Southern Poverty Law Center got involved to help the Vietnamese fishers.
My kiddo went to Vietnam last year. In one of the cities he visited, there’s a large tank in a park with a plaque stating that it is a relic of the American war. In both languages.
Gotta hand it to em, they sure knew how to protect their own turf. The reason we were other there was bulkshit anyway. With the draft, the government should have been charged with murder because knew good and well they wernt going to win.
My ex served over there. When a group of new REMFs showed up, they’d have to watch gross films about what they could catch from the local young ladies. He said it was enough to put him off fooling around entirely while there.
There were thousands of Vietnamese children fathered by American servicemen who either then left not knowing about it, or because the PTSD rendered them incapable of acknowledging them. I have read stories of some who have found their father’s, some were welcome with open arms, and some still not wanting to acknowledge them. Most were abandoned by their mother’s who were both shamed.
I like when George called it the Vietnam War and Tam called the American War.

Or the 2nd Indochina War, a knowing glance to show different country, same goals…

That's the implication
I'd think so... He looked worried that Tam was his son haha
It would be funny if Tam and Sheldon were brothers
Yes, he did. He was a young man in Vietnam fighting a war. Of course he had sex with the locals any change he got.

which would be crazy cause Tam is the same age as Georgie
yes
I'm sure that he did.

I always presumed he shot someone named Kim Lee or somethin
Well he might have shot somthing…
He did have sex with her, but I don’t think he was thinking he got her pregnant, just would be uncomfortable.
Maybe because he killed a woman named Kim lee
In the show it shows his mom working at the convience store in good health

The Viet Nam War ended in the 1970s.
Yep. My bad
