one man (around 65 years old) who had had both of his lower arms and hands, as well as part of his face, blown off by a land mine when he was 8 years old. \u00a0There is a lot of sadness going on at the museum.<\/p>\n<p>And then, you walk inside the various torture chambers and jails that the USA\/South Vietnamese used to torture and detain expected Viet Cong guerrillas. \u00a0I won&#8217;t go on about the types of torture that the Americans oversaw during the war, but it was a stark reminder that America doesn&#8217;t always hold the high ground.<\/p>\n<p><a

you learn about the 3 million Vietnamese that died in the war. \u00a0The most heartbreaking though for me was seeing the damage that the Agent Orange did to not only the people living during that time of war, but also to up to four generations of children later. \u00a0This is a must-do stop for any Americans who want to know more about the Vietnam War. There is fair amount of communist spin to the museum, but it certainly gives the &#8220;other side of the story&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>We finished up the day by eating some of the most amazing sushi any of us had ever had.
