WASHINGTON (VB) -- Ông Hồ Chí Minh
đã từng đề nghị cung ứng đàn bà đẹp Việt Nam và thuốc kích dâm cho các lính
Mỹ trong đơn vị gián điệp đang huấn luyện các đơn vị quân sự Việt Minh đầu
tiên.
Bản tin này đăng trên báo New York Times ngày 24-4-2013 ở trang A-17
với tưạ đề “Henry Prunier, 91, Dies; Was Part of U.S. Mission To Train the
Viet Minh” (Henry Prunier, 91 tuổi, Chết; Đã Tham Dự Nhóm Công Tác Mỹ Huấn
Luyện Việt Minh).
Henry Prunier đã dạy cho Tướng Võ Nguey6n Giáp cac1h ném
lựu đạn. Lúc đó là tháng 7-1945, sau khi Prunier và 6 lính Mỹ khác nhảy dù
xuống một ngôi làng cac1h Hà Nội 75 dặm phía Tây Bắc trong công tác bí mật để
huấn luyện một lực lượng thiện chiến gồm 200 du kích Việt Nam về cách
sử dụng vũ khí Mỹ để chống lại quân Nhật, lúc đó Nhật đang chiếm Đông Dương.
Các lính Mỹ này là thành viên của Office of Strategic Services (OSS), Sở Tình
Báo Mỹ thời Thế Chiến 2, muốn nhờ du kích giúp chống lại Nhật.
Prunier sinh ở
Worcester ngày 9 tháng 10-1921, học ở Đại Học Assumption College nơi hầu hết
các lớp dạy bằng Pháp ngữ, nhưng sau 3 năm thì đăng lính vào Bộ Binh. Thấy
giỏi ngoaị ngữ, Bộ Binh đưa Prunier vào học tiếng việt ở UC Berkeley, nơi đây
Sở OSS tới mời ông và 2 bạn học tham dự chiến dịch nhaỷ toán Đông Dương, nói
thẳng với rủi ro 50% là sẽ chết; tất cả đều từ chối.
Prunier được gửi tới
trường mật mã và dự kiến vào một sư đoàn Bộ Binh để sang Pháp chiến đấu.
Nhưng đêm trước khi xuống tàu sang Pháp, ông được lệnh về Washington để vào
toán OSS cho công tác đặc biệt, tên mật mã của nhóm là Deer Team (Toán Con
Nai).
Năm 1995, Prunier có tới thăm Hà Nội, họp mặt với các chiến binh Việt
Minh ông từng giúp. Nhận ra ông, Tướng Võ Nguyên Giáp cầm một trái cam và ra
vẻ như ném lưụ đạn theo kỹ thuật Prunier đã dạy cho ông.
Tướng Giáp nói,
“Đúng, đúng thế.” Đặc biệt, Prunier kể lại, rằng trong khi nhóm lính Mỹ
huấn luyện Việt Minh, ông Hồ Chí Minh đề nghị cung ứng đàn bà đẹp Việt Nam và
thuốc kích dục Đông y, nhưng nhóm lính OSS từ chối vì quân lệnh cấm. Tuy
nhiên, Prunier chấp nhận quà tặng từ ông Hồ là một tấm thảm dệt và sau đó ông
đưa về treo ở tường nhà.
"Đặc biệt,
Prunier kể lại, rằng trong khi nhóm lính Mỹ huấn luyện Việt Minh, ông Hồ Chí
Minh đề nghị cung ứng gái đẹp Việt Nam và thuốc kích dục Đông y,
nhưng nhóm lính OSS từ chối vì quân lệnh cấm."
Bác cháu ta cùng là ma cô, bây giờ thì Nguyễn Minh Triết
đi rao hàng "Việt Nam ta có nhiều gái đẹp"!

Henry A. Prunier taught Vo Nguyen Giap, the
Vietnamese general who withstood the armies of France and the United States,
how to throw a grenade.

Mr. Prunier in 2011
with a commendation from Vietnam.
The lesson came in July 1945, after Mr.
Prunier and six other Americans had parachuted into a village 75 miles
northwest of Hanoi on a clandestine mission to teach an elite force of 200
Viet Minh guerrillas how to use modern American weapons at their jungle camp.
The Americans, members of the Office of Strategic
Services, the United States’ intelligence agency in World War II, wanted the guerrillas’ help in
fighting the Japanese, who were occupying Indochina. The Viet Minh welcomed
the American arms in their struggle for Vietnamese independence.
What’s more, in inviting the Americans to his field
headquarters, Ho Chi Minh, the Viet Minh leader, could receive medical
treatment for his malaria, hepatitis and other ailments. The Americans stayed
for two months, and their care may have saved his life.
Mr. Prunier (pronounced PRUNE-yer), who died last month at
91, was a 23-year-old Army private at the time, recruited as
a translator because of his language skills. His first assignment was to
instruct a diminutive man, known to the Americans as Mr. Van, in the use of
American rifles, machine guns, bazookas and other arms.
Mr. Van, who wore a white linen suit, black shoes and
black fedora, was actually Mr. Giap, who as a general nine years later would
lead North Vietnamese troops to victory at Dien Bien Phu, forcing France from
Vietnam, and then fight the United States military to a costly stalemate.
“Giap wanted to know why we lobbed the grenade overhand
and what activated the mortar,” Mr. Prunier said in an interview with The
Worcester Telegram & Gazette in Massachusetts in 2011. “One time he
looked down the barrel of the mortar. I was shocked. His head could have been
blown off.”
Mr. Prunier, whose death, on March 17, was not widely
reported at the time, lived most of his life in Worcester running his
family’s masonry business. He died of congestive heart failure in Beverly,
Mass., his daughter-in-law Gloria Prunier said. He was the last living member
of that Indochina mission.
Though a footnote in American history, the mission has
been hailed in Vietnam as a golden moment of cooperation with the United
States. Mr. Prunier’s Army uniform is displayed in the Vietnam Military
Museum in Hanoi, and a Vietnamese film team is preparing a
documentary about him, “From Henry Prunier’s Memories.”
“It’s odd,” he said. “I’m a hero over there.”
Henry Arthur Prunier was born in Worcester on Sept. 10,
1921. He attended Assumption College, also in Worcester, where most classes
were taught in French, but left after three years to enlist in the Army.
Recognizing his linguistic skills, the Army sent him to the University of
California, Berkeley, to study Vietnamese. There, the O.S.S. approached him
and two others for “a voluntary mission into Indochina.” Told there was a 50
percent chance of survival, all said no.
After Berkeley, Mr. Prunier was sent to a cryptology
school and scheduled to join an infantry division heading for France. But the
night before he was to ship out, he was ordered to go to Washington to join
the O.S.S. and take part in a special operations mission, code-named Deer
Team.
The Americans were supposed to walk 300 miles from China
to the guerrilla base, but the Chinese warned them of a Japanese ambush. So they
parachuted in. It was Mr. Prunier’s first jump. He landed in a rice paddy;
others got hung up in trees.
Met by guerrillas, the Americans were escorted to a bamboo
hut, where they found Ho Chi Minh lying on a mat in a dark corner shaking
with a high fever. He introduced himself as “C.M. Hoo.” The team’s medic
treated him.
As Ho recovered, he engaged in daily discussions with the
Americans. The Viet Minh agreed to gather intelligence, sabotage railroads
and rescue downed American airmen. When Ho learned that Mr. Prunier was from
Massachusetts, he regaled him with tales of visiting Boston.
While the Deer Team was with the Viet Minh, the Japanese
surrendered and the Viet Minh declared Vietnam an independent nation, using
language from the Declaration of Independence. Ho gave his American friends a
message to forward to President Harry S. Truman asking him to support the
Viet Minh against France, which had lost its colonies to Japan during the war
and was fighting to take them back. Mr. Truman never replied. The United
States backed France.
Some historians have said that by rejecting Ho’s overture
the United States squandered an opportunity to build ties with North Vietnam
that might have kept Americans out of war two decades later. The counterview
is that Ho’s Communist ideology would have inevitably made North Vietnam an
enemy by definition.
Mr. Prunier came down somewhere in the middle. “He saw no
contradiction between being a Communist and hoping for a democratic way of
life for his people,” he said of Ho. “In many ways he was naïve.”
Obeying regulations, the O.S.S. men
declined, regretfully, Ho’s offer of pretty Vietnamese women and jungle
aphrodisiacs, Mr. Prunier said. But he did accept a tapestry from
Ho and later displayed it in his home.
Mr. Prunier is survived by his wife of 62 years, the
former Mariette Lague; his daughters, Joanne M. Green and Dianne M. Behnke;
his sons, Raymond and Donald; 12 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
In 2011, Mr. Prunier was awarded
the Bronze Star for his long-ago exploits. That year,
Assumption College granted
him the bachelor’s degree he had been unable to finish. (He
completed one at the University of Massachusetts after the war.)
In 1995, Mr. Prunier returned to Hanoi for a reunion with
some of the surviving Viet Minh he had helped. Recognizing him, General Giap
picked up an orange and displayed the grenade-lobbing technique Mr. Prunier
had taught him.
“Yes, yes, yes!” the general exclaimed.
"When
you cannot defend freedom through peaceful means, you have to use arms to
fight..." Marek Edelman
Don’t
listen to the communists, but take a good look at what they have done.
