- What's wrong at home that you're so worried, Auntie?

Mrs. Lan sighed and explained:

"To be honest with you, my heart is burning with anxiety. Yesterday at the market, some of my friends showed me a video of veteran soldiers using their fists to 'talk' to new recruits. My nephew Thang just enlisted recently. He's gentle and has always only focused on his studies. If that happened to him, it would be terrible for him!"

As soon as his wife finished speaking, Mr. Hinh stood up and said loudly:

"See, grandson! I've been explaining it to her for ages, but she won't listen. She just keeps looking at those rumors on social media and being skeptical. In the army, camaraderie is sacred. In our generation, we shared hardships and joys together; there was no distinction between old and new recruits. Last weekend, Thang called and said that the first few days of training were a bit tiring and he missed home, but the commanders and the soldiers were very united and cheerful, so he's gotten used to it now. Yet, Mrs. Lan is still skeptical."

- But we still have to worry, of course. The video is so clear. Besides, many people claiming to have children who have just enlisted have commented, saying there have been many similar incidents.

Sensing the tension, I gently intervened:

- I just returned from a field trip to several units training new recruits. In every unit, I saw officers and soldiers united and close-knit like brothers in a family. Furthermore, the Party committees and commanders at all levels strictly maintain democratic regulations; they regularly engage in dialogue, understand and promptly and thoroughly resolve emerging issues, so you can rest assured. Currently, reactionary elements and political opportunists are thoroughly exploiting social media, using artificial intelligence to fabricate and manipulate images to tarnish the image of the Ho Chi Minh Army. Authorities have already detected and held accountable many such cases.

At this moment, Mrs. Lan's face gradually relaxed:

- Is that video edited? Yet it looks so real. Without your analysis and proof, I can't help but worry.

Hearing this, Mr. Hinh chuckled and slapped his thigh with a loud crack:

- Thank you for your insightful analysis. From now on, please don't let your spirits be shaken by baseless fabricated information anymore. I'll call his parents, and we'll go to the unit this weekend to visit Thang, so you can see for yourself.

Mrs. Lan playfully scolds her husband:

- He gets angry at the slightest thing. You have to analyze things and explain everything thoroughly like I do for him to listen.
