Well, it'd been some time since I returned from a new wave of war in Vietnam, and I learned of the past Vietnam War from my relative who was a soldier in that war. My name's Amlan Satan, and I'm a Slovak-Algerian Bostonian-Catholic born and raised in the States and felt confounded by a 21st-Century invasion war concerning North Korean initiative in already challenged/challenging Vietnam. Follow along (Selfie-like).



The Vietnam War was no simple event in Earth history for records. It was a contest between a militant Communist side seeking reign over the entire nation despite a defiant democratic side allied to the States. America sent countless soldiers to that place in the 20th-Century and saw unprecedented jungle and village/settlements invisible challenges in a ruthless/veiled guerrilla-style warfare involving everyday citizens turning out to be enemies, armed Vietnamese willing to strike at our falling soldiers to see Communist triumph, which they did. America felt the scar for records, and there was much social/culture backlash in the States concerning USA duty free thinking about world-rhetoric for capitalism 'bazaars' for media/ad culture (for leviathan/uncertainty). Now, this new North Korean invasion saw me returned as an American patriot to defend the Vietnamese people, now seeking vital aid from the USA (damn). When I returned from this new 'front' of Hell, I found myself feeling like my (own) Selfie-culture messenger for Earthling exchanges sanity (for records!).



When I returned to the States, I turned on the TV, and I drank nice Pina Coladas, sighing that I'd returned home safe/alive, having turned-back North Korean advanced placements for pseudo-nuclear boasts for challenges concerning 21st-Century capitalism rhetoric for models of simplified leviathan/uncertainty (wow). I watched the Vietnam beauty pageant online and thought of a wonderful lady I met while in this new (modern?) War (Facebook-like).



WIFE: Look at those eerie and bizarre alien crop-circles, hubby!
ME: Well, there's some weird geometry and premonition for vanities.
WIFE: Maybe these 'aliens' are actually the Devil's angels making confusion!
ME: Weird thought...drawing human minds away from simplified work art, eh?
WIFE: Did you feel like you were somehow in a time-portal in Vietnam, pal?
ME: I can tell you these crop-circles invoke some teleportation escapism, ok.
WIFE: That original Vietnam War is complemented by your War of shapes, yes?
ME: That's not a weird thought...Vietnam's something of an Earth billiards.
WIFE: From Hell (Selfie-like).



My wife/I could find some incomplete-distances readings of the nature of war-consciousness during a war-exhibit view/visit at a special American Homeland art museum for past/present reflections of 'consciousness' of what made mobilization for war/peace something of a juicy or bloody-fruit of all things jardiniere (for the Ego!).



WIFE: My father wanted you to have this memoir-antique (gun), hubby.
ME: He was a soldier.
WIFE: He's a Vietnam vet, hubby (ok?).
ME: This North Korean invasion War was something of a tall tale, for all!
WIFE: Maybe what you learned was some Facebook-cleat for field goals, no?
ME: That's a cool thought, wife...for the arms of Earthling vanities (doubt).
WIFE: War is Hell.
ME: Selfie-like.



I took my wife to a Vietnamese restaurant near our timeshare in the Berkshires (New England), putting in memories (for fiction?) the past of the original Vietnam War (20th-Century) and the new one, the invasion War (with downed North Koreans), I endured in my present. We enjoyed some very-delicious Pho (Vietnamese noodles/soup) and thought about the human realm incomplete-arts of all that'd become special languages of (simplified/general) volition. If was is hell, what's heaven (Selfie-like)?
