Military & Defense More: Vietnam Father And Son Who Fled Vietnam War Bombs Emerge From Jungle After 40 Years
A 42 year old man and his 2 year old ran into the forest when their village was bombed during the Vietnam war. They hadn't been seen and thought dead until they were found and brought back to society. Naturally the 2 year old, now the same age as his father when they fled is accustomed to forest life and is under close watch, because he wants to return to what he has known as home for the past 40 years.
It's really interesting to me that people can still live almost like indigenous people after a traumatic event like the beginning of a war. The length of time they spent living in the forest to me is amazing and I wonder what we can learn from the man and his son.
A month later, unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any follow up articles about the man and his son.
on one hand this is amazing, how they survived for 40 years in the forest and weren't found by anyone. At the same time it is scary what war can drive people to do. especially considering the methods used by the US in Vietnam were cruel and incredibly harsh. As well, it partially amazes me that they were able to find safety in the jungle considering the carpet bombing operations that were performed throughout the war.
