        I don’t know what that is, but it looks like Vietnamese script so I’m inclined to agree that’s probably relevant.

          I was just playing off your joke. It’s the term for the Vietnam War in Vietnamese. “Resistance War Against America.”

            Ah okay. Barely related but I read recently that Vietnam is one of the countries that thinks highest about the US. Super strange, considering.
