I discovered a letter to the editor that got published in the New York Times on November 17, 2000. It reads: "President Clinton's Vietnam visit is an insult."
As a United States Army draftee who served 12 months and 12 days in Vung Tau and returned in 1998 as a tourist, I observed what three decades realy mean: nothing. Communism prevails, Most Vietnamese live in abject poverty, and perhaps big business will learn what the French and American governments learned in times of war: leave 'em alone."

NB: Getting a Letter to the Editor in the New York Times is prestiege.
