In the wake of the damning release of more than 90-thousand U.S. military records on the the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks.com, it is disheartening to hear some of the reaction.

The tale of Vu Pham reads like a Hollywood movie - a sad drama-adventure pic.  Orphaned in Vietnam after the arrest of his mother after she tried to flee the country, left fatherless after his South Vietnamese Army soldier dad was killed in the war, Pham left his homeland behind at the age of seven , […]
