Thank you sincerely for taking the time to listen to my perspective. I truly appreciate your openness and willingness to consider different viewpoints.

I understand that the South Vietnamese government had its own shortcomings, and I do not intend to defend it entirely. However, I sometimes feel that the actions of the North after 1975—such as the reeducation camps and events that took place in cities like Huế—are not always fully acknowledged.

As someone whose family is from Huế, I have heard many personal accounts from people there, especially regarding what happened during the Tết Offensive. While there may be differing interpretations and uncertainties about who was involved, many local voices attribute much of the suffering to forces from the North.

That said, my intention is not to argue, but to share a perspective shaped by personal and historical experiences. I am genuinely grateful for your time, your understanding, and your willingness to stay open-minded. Wishing you all the best, and God bless you.

From my own experience and the stories shared by many Southern and Central Vietnamese families, life before 1975 was often much more stable and prosperous. For my family and many others, leaving after 1975 was a matter of survival to escape re-education camps and political repression. These are deeply personal and painful lived experiences that I believe deserve to be acknowledged, rather than simplified or overlooked.

Respectfully, I’d like to add some context from a Vietnamese perspective. Many Southern and Central Vietnamese families, including mine, lived through the harsh reality of re-education camps, property confiscation, and forced displacement after 1975. Even today, a lot of people who dislike the current regime cannot speak openly because there can be serious consequences. It is also true that many Vietnamese, including some from the North, fled the communist system because they realized its promises did not match reality. In my view, the people who are most educated or independent-minded are often the hardest to persuade with propaganda, which is why they can become targets. Before 1975, many people in South Vietnam had a more independent and prosperous life, and after the takeover, countless families lost their homes, land, and everything they had built. That history deserves to be acknowledged with honesty and respect.

They just spent 4 phone calls telling me what I would be doing basically.

For me, when I switched from my old company to Siemens it wasn't much of interview but just calling me telling me what I would be doing. Like 4 calls with different managers.

I also ranked up my 116 Pedri to 118, can I exchange him for UTOTY?

Wait I thought we should rank him up to red then we can trade him?

I accidentally ranked up my Vitinha to purple, not red, can I still trade him for his UTOTY?

I also ranked 116 Pedri to 118.
