The Viet Cong character, however, comes from an impoverished, feudal village that possesses NO wealth, weaponry or any modern technology. Her country had been dominated and persecuted by the French, Japanese and the Americans for hundreds of years – with even the British Army assisting the French regain control after 1945! Communist China (and perhaps the USSR) gave her an AK-47 Rifle and magazines of ammunition. With these, coupled with Maoist ideology, this brave young girl killed at least three of these foreign invaders whilst wounding many others! Her job was to slow down and disrupt any US military unit that traversed through her area – with little chance of her surviving! We love her because she is a ‘People’s Soldier’ who died for our freedom!
