Father and son flee Vietnam war, live in jungle for 40 years

http://tuoitrenews.vn/society/12039/...ears-in-forest



The article sums things up for us:
• The two jungle men were brought back to society August 7

• One jungle man was once a soldier in the Vietnam War

• Father took son into forest after Vietnam War bombing killed family members

• One child left to be brought up in civilization

• The pair refused to return, once fled back to forest

• Slow, dull-eyed, shy of speech, with back bent down



The two apparently have relatives who are still alive and thought they would never see them again.



The authorities say it'll be difficult to put them back into society after 40 years in isolation, especially considering that the youngest of them has apparently lived in the jungle just about all his life.



Don't know what to say about this, except I feel sort of guilty for finding this incredibly fascinating, from a psychological point of view. Not to mention how shockingly different the world must seem to the elder man, after 40 years of technological and political progress.
