Saigon - War Remnants Museum 3

War Remnants Museum, a place i thought i would avoid but i couldn't resist the temptation to visit. There was a chilling kind of quietness inside the museum, where photos and statistics of war are displayed. And captured American warplanes and tanks are proudly shown on the outside of the building.

I believe, it is rather one side story but it does tell the ugly side of war. Of course, nothing on display about Vietcong. To them, it is the struggle of all Vietnamese against the American invasion.

I was momentarily touched with what Robert S McNamara wrote in his book - "Yet we were wrong, terribly wrong. We owe it to future generations to explain why." Robert S McNamara was the defense secretary.

There's also a photo depicting US Army evacuation from the top of the building, when Saigon falls. And the last photo, a tank crashing the gate of Reunification Palace, marking the last hold of Saigon, became red.
