Hell. I am a veteran of the United States Navy and i was a part of several classified missions during the Vietnam War. Several of my comrades were captured and found out. They were monsters, they raped my comrades and they were men. Most Vietnamese people i've met in the following years were all very nice and mannered people. Alas i found where they were taken and was forced to kill every enemy in sight. Ordered from my superior officer i was forced to set explosives at their covered base and i set off the bombs as i rescued my comrades. So combat in Vietnam was hell. They used guns, swords and even brooms. No racism towards anyone because humans are all equal. I hold no grudge against them. Be nice to everyone you meet
