Phong mon ami,

Please accept my apology in word use. And yes you're quite correct in how 
the word conjures different images/meanings rather than the correct name of 
the country, Vietnam. I normally use the full name in describing my and that 
of other news people I know who covered the war.

Consider it corrected for future use.
regards,
ted
