But, now with two children of her own, Phuc credits her Christian faith for helping her "to move on."
"Now, 50 years later, I am so thankful and I'm not a victim of war anymore. I am a survivor and I have the opportunity to work for peace."

Getting back to the current era, we once again find ourselves involved in fighting a proxy war with Russia; this time the battleground is the Ukraine instead of Vietnam. But much like Vietnam, it looks like the side America is on is probably going to eventually lose.

This doesn't make the Russians somehow virtuous, but it does mean the longer the war drags on, the more pointless bloodshed, maiming, and death happens. At some point it's time to say "Enough" and negotiate a surrender.

This is so good to hear, I was a little traumatized as a child by the famous imagine of her and the other terrified children fleeing the bombing. My heart really goes out to her.

If Putin wins this one, he will be emboldened to intimidate and conquer more countries. Take heed, Mr. Chamberlain!
