  • Vietnam,  Vietnam, Dien Bien Phu : Vietnamese veteran at the War Meseun in Dien Bien Phu, the climactic battle between French and Vietnamese Communist forces (called the Vietminh) after World War Two, took place at the town of Dien Biên in northwestern Vietnam. The defeat of over twenty-thousand French troops on 7 May 1954 after a fifty-five day siege of the camp led directly to the division of Vietnam into two countries. French forces at Dien Bien Phu found themselves surrounded and cut off. After nearly a two-month siege, the Viet Minh overran Dien Bien Phu, prompting the end of French Indochina. Today, Dien Bien Phu is a major city and is scheduled to replace Lai Chau as the provincial capital. Ironically, the development is threatening to overrun the battlefield.

  • Vietnam, DMZ: Khe Sanh, selling war souvenirs to tourists and veterans.Here  US had a famous airbase. This was one of the most (in)famous battle sites of the war. To distract the Americans from the Tet Offensive that they were going to launch in the south, the communists started a siege of the base at Khe Sanh, here on the DMZ. US President Johnson, who was determined to avoid another disaster like the one the French suffered not long before at Dien Bien Phu, made the Joint Chiefs of Staff sign a written pledge that they wouldn't lose Khe Sanh. They didn't lose at Khe Sanh -- though the cost in human lives was terrible. And, as it turned out, the Tet Offensive -- for which Khe Sanh was just a smokescreen -- was the beginning of the end of the war

Most of the visitors here are foreigners; the Vietnamese who come are mostly schoolchildren with their teachers...Tour guide showing the narrow entrance to the vietcong/vietmin tunnels..... The Cu Chi Tunnels lie 75 km northwest of Ho Chi Min City. At the time of the Vietnam war, the tunnel system stretched from the outskirts of Saigon all the way to the Cambodian border:  something like 250 kilometers of tunnels. The tunnel system, built over 25 years starting in the 1940s, let the Viet Minh and, later, the Viet Cong, control a huge rural area.  It was an underground city with living areas, kitchens, storage, weapons factories, field hospitals, command centers.  In places, it was several stories deep and housed up to 10,000 people who virtually lived underground for years getting married, giving birth, going to school. They only came out at night to furtively tend their crops..

Despite the rhetoric, this museum has become one of the most popular attractions with Western visitors of all political persuasions. It is a stark reminder that wars rarely have winners and are never glorious. Along with the many photographs, the museum displays US armoured vehicles, artillery pieces, bombs and infantry weapons. There is even a guillotine used by the French on pesky Viet Minh 'troublemakers'.

Relatively few tourists come from the United States. For most people who come here, the war is a distant curiosity. But for the last few years, since travel to Vietnam became more open, groups of American veterans have come in search of remembered battlefields. A small number of American tour companies specialize in guiding them and gaining permission to visit remote areas
