text: Visit the Viet Cong tunnels in the village of Cu Chi (about 2 hours drive NW from Saigon) and talk to the hold hands there who are giving tours and showing documentary films. \n\nSecondly, visit the war museum in Hanoi, and strike up a conversation with the old guys there. In addition to some interesting conversation you'll see plenty of American war materiele which was captured, shot down, or just left behind during the war.\n\nOh by the way, over there you don't call it the Vietnam War.  You call it "The American War" or "The War of Liberation". And don't be offended if someone over there often refers to some of the North Vietnamese soldiers as "American-Killer Heroes"! and their South Vietnamese counterparts as "Traitor-Collaborators".  The feeling is still hot among older north Vietnamese government officials.  Retired soldiers have pretty much mellowed out. And many Vietnamese Southerners are still secretely pro-american and anti-north.
