I have some connections with people back in Vietnam. While the situation was extremely unlikely and most unfortunate, I can imagine this happening. There are many grandmas and grandpas who own shops that don't care about profits in Hanoi.

I was visiting my old neighbors living in the countryside when I came back a couple of years ago. That particular gentleman is a farmer and he has one finger blown off while he was cutting a bomb or something. When I was growing up he has a little pond in front of his house, it's literally called the bomb pond. He has many people in his family killed in a bombing campaign. He told me something like "You're learning from the imperialist USA, I wish you the best. They know many that we don't." So he does hold a certain unfavorable view about the US, but I don't see that he would go as far as being hostile if, say, I take my US friends to him.
