The War Remnants Museum, Saigon

This museum features outside a collection US aircraft, tanks, gunboats etc that were seized by the Vietnamese after the war, and inside a terribly sobering and somber display of photographs depicting the horrors of the war that ravaged their country for so many years. It was a difficult experience to take in, the horrors of the war in graphic detail. The saddest were the photos of the use of Agent Orange and Napalm that were both used extensively by the Americans, inflicting great damage to the civilian population. Damage which continues to this day, due to the genetic defects passed on to the children and grandchildren of those affected by the use of such weapons. Indeed in Saigon I saw many people with shriveled or missing limbs. They've tried to sue the US makers of these chemicals (Monsanto and Dow), but the US Supreme Court has refused to hear any cases. In taking these photos I just couldn't bring myself to photo the most awful images
