Almost all my family and relatives (anti communist or indifferent) will say that, yes, the US has improved our material conditions, but we traded our souls for it. In the US there's no community, no events, can't even operate a store on your property, everything is far, no vacations, too much crime and shootings (perceived or real), education and medicine are absurdly expensive. They likely won't want to go back to living in a home with no modern plumbing and a job that pays a few hundred dollars a month, but I would hardly say their "love" for the US is based on anything other than better pay and anti Chinese sentiment. It's also absurd when I meet people who survived the war (as a civilian), lived in Vietnam in the aftermath, then moved to the US some time later, and they call Joe Biden and the liberals communists.
