The "incident" between Vietnam and Indonesia a couple of days ago was an unfortunate one and due to overlapping claims, it's indeed impossible to avoid such confrontations in some cases. However, shooting live ammunition against the law enforcement of another country is an EXTREMELY HOSTILE behavior no matter what. One minor slip of feet and there would be casualties, what happens then?
Furthermore, some Indonesians flocked into the Vietnam forum acting as if they own the freaking sea and shoo fisherman from other countries away without solving the claim disputes first ? Guess who is also acting like that in the East Sea nowadays? CHINESE.
Sure, we are going to see each other again

" Rifky Effendi Hardijanto, secretary general of Indonesia's Fisheries Ministry, denied reports that an Indonesian officer on board the sunken ship had been taken hostage by the Vietnamese coast guard in a bid to free its fishermen. He said the officer had been rescued by the Vietnamese coast guard and could leave Vietnam as soon as the Indonesian government arranged transport"
Vietnam napped Indonesian officers before, Vietnam would nap some more in the future. But feel free to shoot our wooden fishing boats that worth pretty much nothing. We take pleasure in whipping thieves and their protector in a MANLY way. But if blowing up empty fishing boats is what grinds your gears then by all means, help youself
Sure, Vietnam People Armed Forces sucks by Indonesian standards. But hey, at the very least, Vietnam is proud to be a country without active terrorist/insurrection in ASEAN. Let's see how Indonesian and their mighty military is doing...

"Indonesian soldiers are hunting for rebels suspected of killing as many as 24 construction workers in the restive Papua province, as an eyewitness account supplied by the military described a grisly mass execution"
Nah, Indonesian military could not do shit. Indonesian got killed by REBELS every day the only thing that keep the average Indonesian feeling proud their military is the fact that they manage to blow some fishing boats... OOOPS.
But I guess that is actually quite normal in Indonesia where police torture suspects with snakes and shits like that
