This is a general observation to everyone who refers to the country of Viet Nam as Nam. There is no country called Nam. There is a country called Viet Nam. For those who served in the American War in Viet Nam and experienced the insanity firsthand, there is a place called "Nam" or "the Nam." It has a very specific meaning to those who were there. Those who were not there cannot comprehend the meaning of "the Nam."

It would seem to me that out of respect for the country of Viet Nam, as well as those who served and sacrificed there, those who talk about the country would call it by its name, Viet Nam or Vietnam as per your preference.

Just my .02.
