I know. Still MLP is about friendship, not about war. I’m just surprised to see almost all MLP stories whose topic related to Vietnam are about Vietnam War, not about anything else in Vietnam.

@4ever bronies  
The Vietnam war is very important in American culture, almost as important as WWII. Both wars are finished a long time ago but both are still made into new stories even now.

@Wellwater  
I got it. Wish all the best for those veterans. May God bless them.

Glad to hear that. I hope I will have a chance to learn with these teachers.

I’m so happy to see 2 comments (and hoping to see more) which share theirs opinions that foreigners almost stop thinking about Vietnam war. Such a relief! I know war is awful, terrible, causes the PTSD on both sides. I know we don’t want to talk about war. I’m just happy that war is finished, and America has been a friend of Vietnam. But why when I Google “MLP Vietnam”, what I will surely see, except for our Vietnamese bronies Facebook fanpage, is the images or stories of the Mane 6 fighting in Vietnam war. MLP supposed to be “Friendship is magic”, not war right. So could someone please explain me this? Forgive me if I missed any point or offended anyone. Thank you very much.

(Almost) nobody thinks there’s still a war in Vietnam. But one of the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, which thousands of US veterans suffer from their time fighting in Vietnam, is vivid flashbacks triggered by all kinds of random things. So, if you compare this picture to the source, you can see the hallucinatory differences that make it so dramatic and poignant.
 
Check the ptsd tag for more examples of how this can be portrayed.

I had some friends who spent a couple years in Vietnam teaching English to grade-schoolers. There are apparently huge flocks of ducks in Vietnam. I also had a good friend in college who was a foreign student from Vietnam and the self-proclaimed “SEXIEST MAN ALIVE”

Please, don’t think Vietnamese is a still-in-war country. Wars are terrible. Both sides will lose their people. And so was Vietnamese war. I’m so upset to read that American soldiers or Vietnamese soldiers lost their lives in war. Nobody want war. So again, please don’t think that Vietnamese is still in war. We’re beautiful nation, friendly people.

I don’t really understand why a lot of foreigners still think that war in Vietnam is not finished. We’ve peacefully lived our lives since 1975. So please, as a Vietnamese, I wish you could change your mind and think about Vietnam as a peaceful country, not a nation that is still in wars. Thank you very much

Uh… You better clean that M16 after you compose yourself or it’s gonna jam.

You’re never to young to have a Vietnam flashback

That umbrella reflection in the water made me think that Fluttershy has the reflection of Flutterbat. Interesting effect.

Finally, that yellow shit died

@Tragiclady  
Seems legit.

@FLUTTERBADASS  
I can see how she would enjoy a quiet life taking care of animals after all that.

Fluttershy being in vietnam actually makes a lot of sense.
