Letters: Donald Trump finally arrives in Vietnam

Re “Trump pushes 'America first' during tough trade talk in Asia” (sacbee.com, Nov. 10): The term surreal to describe an event is overused, but it certainly fits Donald Trump in Danang, Vietnam, on Veterans Day. Looking back, I could have used him on patrol outside of Danang in 1967. But he had such bad problems with his feet he couldn't serve. That rolling thunder sound you hear is the 58,000 dead Vietnam war GI's rolling over in their graves.
