Nope.

Military training as a part of the basic high school curriculum went away a whole ago. Vietnamese youth are about making money now.

I don’t disagree the govt is prepared to counter China but they are also investing in a lot of other things.

I have been to Vietnam right before the pandemic and witnessed with my own eyes active training of high school and college students using mock AK-47s. The cultural focus of the students of course is their economic future in peace time, but the foundation of that peace for a small and otherwise vulnerable nation is the maintenance of their strategic deterrence, which continues to this day.

Maybe it’s more regional then. My sister-in-law grew up there and said they dropped it back in the 1990’s, but I suppose that’s just where she grew up.
