The last American combat troops withdrew in 1973, but 2,000 U.S. servicemen remain unaccounted for in Southeast Asia, including about 1,500 on Vietnamese soil.
Vietnam has kicked off a series of national celebrations of the 25th anniversary of their victory over the U.S.-backed government of South Vietnam. Cohen said this will not make his visit more awkward.
"There is no perfect time for this," he said. "Both nations were scarred by this. They have their own scars from the war. We certainly have ours."
More than 58,000 American servicemen were lost in the war. Vietnam's losses are estimated at 3 million. Beyond the heavy human toll, the war's outcome left the American military with institutional wounds, battered morale and an aversion to getting drawn into conflicts.

MOSCOW--After days of government denials, top Russian officials admitted Friday that 84 paratroopers died in a six-hour battle in Chechnya last week--some of them apparently from "friendly fire"--in the worst reported incident of Russian casualties since the war began.
Russian newspapers and television reported that some of the paratroopers were killed when their commanders saw that they were hopelessly outnumbered and ordered an artillery attack on their own position. Only six Russian soldiers survived the battle with rebels in the separatist republic.
Russian officials had repeatedly insisted that the deaths of the highly trained troops occurred in separate battles over a four-day period until Defense Minister Igor D. Sergeyev acknowledged Friday that they had all died on the night of Feb. 29. The blood bath came to light because many of the 90 men were from Pskov, a city of 200,000 about 375 miles northwest of Moscow, where word of the disaster quickly spread.
The Russian losses came as the military was on the verge of claiming victory in Chechnya. Such an announcement would be welcomed by the public and boost the campaign of acting President Vladimir V. Putin, who is the overwhelming favorite in the March 26 presidential election. Heavy fighting continues, however, in the mountainous southern region of Chechnya, and the rebels have boldly mounted attacks in Russian-held territory.
Sergeyev made no comment about the report of "friendly fire" but said the soldiers had been trying to keep 600 rebel militants from breaking through a pass into the neighboring republic of Dagestan.
"A great number of bandits were eliminated, but unfortunately our guys were killed too," he said.
The defense minister's admission of the one-day losses adds to questions about the official toll of 1,836 dead and 4,984 wounded since fighting in the region began in August. Critics, including the respected Soldiers' Mothers Committee, have said the number of bodies sent home in coffins from Chechnya is at least two or three times greater than the government count.
Two days after the death of the paratroopers, on March 2, an elite unit of paramilitary police commandos was ambushed by rebels on a road near the capital, Grozny. At least 20 commandos were killed in that attack.
The paratroopers were guarding the mountain pass near the southern town of Ulus-Kert the night of Feb. 29 when a force of Chechen rebels radioed the Russians and asked for safe passage, the newspaper Obshchaya Gazeta reported.
The newspaper, apparently basing its report on the account of a survivor, said Russian Col. Mark Yevtukhin refused the request and the rebels attacked.
The rebel force, numbering as many 1,800, according to some Russian officials, overwhelmed the federal forces and burst into their trenches, where the two sides fought hand-to-hand.
Yevtukhin, seeing the battle was lost, ordered his battery officer, Capt. Viktor Romanov, to call in artillery on their own position. Romanov, who had lost both legs and was on the verge of losing consciousness, obeyed, and shells began hitting the area. Both officers were killed.
Before the artillery began firing, according to the newspaper's account, about 30 of the paratroopers were still alive. It is unclear how many of them were killed by their own side.
"There was simply no other choice," a commander of the airborne troops in Pskov told the newspaper Sevodnya. "A small company that clashed with a huge group of fighters was doomed anyway. So they just drew fire."
After the missile attack stopped, the surviving rebels moved among the Russian troops and killed those who appeared to still be alive, Obshchaya Gazeta said. The six survivors escaped by playing dead.
In the days after the battle, the government announced that 31 paratroopers had been killed one day, 26 the next, 16 the day after that and 11 on the fourth day.
Sergei V. Yastrzhembsky, the Kremlin's chief spokesman for the war, bristled Wednesday when asked by reporters for more information about the report that 31 paratroopers were killed in one day.
"I must tell you that these are the total losses suffered by this company and paratroopers in general during the last several days," Yastrzhembsky said. Other government officials parroted the same line.
Lt. Gen. Gennady Troshev, deputy commander of federal forces in Chechnya, acknowledged the true death toll Friday and said that the army had given incorrect information because it could not confirm the death toll for six days after the battle

You, most likely, are having a bad communication day. That's what happens when you connect thru Russian satellites. They are so slow that signal gets paused and echoed to the point when it indeed reminds yapping.
Say hello to the last colonel.
Shamil Basayev and Khattab comment on their "deaths"
Shamil Basayev today said that the many unreasonable statements of the Russian generals are evidence of their lack of proper information. "Listening to these declarations, I'm convinced that they have no idea where our main forces are and what is happening right under their noses," says Basayev.
Amir Khattab says that the Russians will very soon realize how well the "dead" Shamil and Khattab will fight.
Mumadi Saydayev, head of the Defence Staff of the ChRI, today called the Russian reports about victories near Ulus-Kert the "ordinary daily lie of Troshev." According to him, the Russians suffered their heaviest casualties near Ulus-Kert and near the mouth of the River Vashtar (about 1,000 men) and are now bombing their own forces as well as the mujahideen. The Russian generals have lost all orientation and are forced to lie desperately in order to conceal their failure, says Saydayev.
Heavy Russian casualties in Saadi-Khutor
Notwithstanding the reports of the Russian command on the so-called "final phase" of the aggression against the independent Chechen state, the fighting in Chechnya continues.
The clashes with the aggressors are going on in the mountains as well as in the plains.
Near Saadi-Khutor and Alkhazurovo the fighting has lasted for two weeks. Almost every day the Russians lose 70 to 100 men. According to the Chechen side, today the fighting extended over the whole village and its environs. The mujahideen also hold the commanding heights and the road to Surat. On the southern outskirts of Saadi-Khutor, after severe Russian casualties, there are no longer face-to-face clashes. The Russians are making use of their artillery there. But in the centre of the village the combat actions have become face-to-face. The Chechen side reports the destruction of two Russian tanks and the capture of weapons.
The mujahideen are periodically and unexpectedly counter-attacking the enemy. Afterwards their mobile units retreat, changing their place of deployment continuously. Through these tactics the Chechens are avoiding casualties.
Mujahideen attack between Ulus-Kert and Duba-Yurt
Units of the Chechen mujahideen carried out their daily operations in order to destroy advance units of the Russians. This time they attacked between Ulus-Kert and Duba-Yurt.
The mujahideen carried out am ambush during the night after having outflanked the Russian front-line. A mobile artillery unit of the Russians was attacked with automatic grenade launchers and flame-throwers. Having become disoriented under the circumstances of night combat, the so-called "assault spetsnaz" men retreated in disorderly fashion along the River Vashtar in the direction of Selmentauzen.
According to the Chechen command, the regrouping of the Russian forces continues. Since dawn the Russians have been massively bombing the region around the River Vashtar.
Russians retreating towards Kenkhi and Kiri
The Chechen command reported today that the main forces of the Russians in the Sharoy District are retreating towards Kenkhi and Kiri. There remained a fortified garrison of the enemy in Dai.
Meanwhile, the Russian air force and attack helicopters continue to destroy the Chechen mountain villages systematically. During the last 24 hours more than 120 civilians have died because of the Russian bombardment of villages in the districts of Sharoy, Cheberloy, Shatoy, Vedeno, Galanchoy, and Urus-Martan. The Russian are continuously using so-called vacuum bombs [FAEs] and napalm.
Chechen children kept as hostages
The Chechen minister of the interior, Aydamir Abalayev, said to Kavkaz Center's correspondent that the ChRI's administration of justice receives information daily on the arrest of children ranking from 9 to 13 years old as "fighters". Most of them are brought to the concentration camp of Chernokozovo where, according to some reports, about 200 children are held, ranging from 9 to 15 years old. Abalayev says that some children have been secretly taken to Russia. Their further fate is unknown. The Chechen ministry of the interior has a list with the names of 115 children carried off to Russia.
List of war criminals to be published on Monday
Today it became known that on Monday the State-Committee of Defence of the ChRI will publish a list of the main war criminals of the Kremlin regime and Russian generals, whom the ChRI's administration of justice is investigating. They are accused of various war crimes and of genocide. The State-Committee of Defence is going to appeal to all nations and international organizations for help in arresting the criminals.
Dimitri,

Dear Saladin,
No. Not at the moment. As you can see I am too busy harassing the clown, who desperately tried to harass my dear comrade. I just luv doing it to "hit'n'runners". Please get on with your speeches and mind your business, for I contributed to this board much more than you have so far. Dixi.

Well, I guess Mother Russia has no periods anymore. My condolences, try to sacrifice a goat or something. Or sell XLA. That should help. If not, I'm prepared to submit my resume, but that's your last resort and, in your curcumstances, I would not bet on it to solve your problems.

dear Clown,
You are absolutely right - it would not solve my problems. It would solve Yours.
Well Dimitri, I'm sorry.
But do something. You count a dead Chechen commander among your comrades, you hear yapping on every corner 24 by 7, you love harassing "hit'n'runners" (who knows how many of them you see when typing) and you were about to send a dead Russian general to make a post office out of me. There is no way to go!
Tried taxodermy? Dimitri, if you keep it close it will never go. Talk to me.
