It was definitely necessary for America to help the Amerasian children. Amerasian children, as a product of war, were abandoned by their fathers. By not taking accountability for their own actions, this shows how irresponsible, how ignorant, and how naive American fathers were. They had the power to completely neglect and abandon their children and their Vietnamese significant other and they abused every bit of it. If the tables were turned and GIs from other countries came to America and fathered biracial American children, American mothers and the US government would definitely hold these fathers accountable. This demonstrates the power and privilege white American men hold and when given the opportunity, they will definitely abuse it.

I believe it was necessary for America to help the Amerasian children because American soldiers were the reason why Amerasians came into this world. American soldiers often left the children they had with Vietnamese women in Vietnam rather than taking them back with them to the United States. Amerasian children experienced violence, abandonment, and were in danger in Vietnam. It was necessary for American to help these children because many were put in dangerous situations and often killed due to their American blood.
