There is no winner in war

When I listened to Dr. O’Brien telling his stories, I did not know how to response because this is a real person telling me a real story. Even though, my parents and grandparents rarely speak of the Vietnam War, I know it has affected our family. This war has forced my grandparents to migrate from North Vietnam to South Vietnam. They missed their home and siblings who remained in the north; therefore, only a few times in their life, they were able to travel the uncomfortable road back to the north to see what is left of their home. The war had separated many people from their loved ones for a long period of time or even forever. Furthermore, it removed the soldiers, like Dr. O’Brien, from civil society and forced them to kill to keep themselves alive long enough to see their loved one again. At the end, both sides lost.
