David Horner is professor of Australian Defence History at the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific and he served for 25 years in the Australian Army, including active duty in South Vietnam. He said the Vietnamese government’s decision to cancel the Long Tan commemoration was disappointing but he understands that it is a sensitive issue for the country.
