Review the dialogue that is exchanged when Adrian Cronauer realizes his friend Tuan has betrayed him.
Adrian: Listen, I gave you my friendship, and my trust. And now they tell me that my best friend is the enemy.
Tuan: Enemy? What is an enemy? You killing my own people so many miles from your home. We're not the enemy. You're the enemy.
Adrian: You used me to kill two people. Two people died in that bar.
Tuan: Big deal! My mother's dead. And my older brother, he's dead. Shot by Americans. My neighbor, dead. His wife, dead. Why? Because we're not human to them. We're only little Vietnamese. And I'm stupid enough to save your life at An Lac.
Discuss Tuan's motives, and attempt to answer his rhetorical question: what is an enemy? Can you make a case for justifying Tuan's actions? It's true he did assist in the bombing of Jimmy Wah's club, but he also risked his life to save Adrian and Eddie when they were sent into enemy territory. Why would he perform these contradictory acts?
