Where are pics from Vietnam? 😕

The Falkland war was just from 2 April 1982 until 20 june 1982 - and most of that period British troops were on ships going south. Doesn't warrant the brassing. 😱
If you want to name it after a late 20th century war, I think the war in Bosnia would be your best bet, or the war the Russians fought in Afghanistan.
You just told somebody from Vietnam who visits English speaking forums and has a stated interest to know how others think about his country, that "the Vietnam war has had a profound effect on Western culture" - I guess he did know that :bang:
By the way, I think the way ped is being treated by some, is unwarranted. He just dressed up his camera to look like it was used in the Vietnam war. He links black and green to the Vietnam war, there is nothing insensitive about that. Some feel they have to defend the Vietnamese, and if the Vietnam war learned us one thing, it is the fact that the Vietnamese are perfectly capable of defending themselves 😀

I was trying to assure Trung that the OP meant no harm. I'm not sure what your post was trying to achieve. :bang:

Or depending on one's outlook - that they weren't.
Quite a few Vietnamese-Americans do not view the war in the same light that pop-culture does.
For me its food - but I don't think it'd be practical to make a camera look like a pork sandwich. 😀

In the guitar world that's called "Road Worn". Why someone would take a perfectly nice guitar and make it look like it's been tossed down the driveway is beyond me but it's a big thing. My guitar builder even has a patented process to do this and if a customer wants a Strat to look like SRV's he can do it exactly.

You must not use the internet ever if what's present here offends and perplexes you. 😀

Read my post - all the wear is genuine and the main reason I bought it was because it was only £55!

ped - love the camera - looks fantastic - sometimes we need things like that to give us the 'vibe' to go out and shoot
trung - love Hanoi - felt like being in a daze or a time warp, and visiting the home of Chairman Ho topped it off
the vibe - (taken with a Nikon, not an OM sorry) - the best of them are dead now
trung - love Hanoi - felt like being in a daze or a time warp, and visiting the home of Chairman Ho topped it off

Great photo. It reminds me of my time in the 3rd Battalion. 😉

When I think of Vietnam I think of coffee ! Yum
Oh, and motorscooters. Worn out black and green scooters with all the brass showing through. 🙂
