I can't imagine how horrific it must have been fighting and trying to survive in those conditions. I have the utmost respect for Vietnam veterans. I salute all of you. RIP to all that were lost.

I went to hamburger hill in may 1996 Vietnam had just started opening its doors to foreigners ,there was still lots of relics from the war and the thing i noticed the most at hamburger hill was the peacefulness,i think it was so amplified because of what had gone on 27 years earlier ,The U S, MIA unit had been digging there recently,you could see all the trenches they had dug looking for there MIA,s . Good bless all who fought and died on that lonely hill in the A shau valley Vietnam.

The problem is, when you go to Vietnam, according to the locals, there are about 5 different Hamburger Hills

@Jleed....so true. Always kinda cracks me up when people go places and claim to feel all the "woo-woo" of the place...only to find out that the "woo-woo" is/was someplace else, where they feel it again...and then another...rinse, repeat. Seen plenty of the world, and it's the same everywhere you go. I appreciate, seek out, study history etc with the most enthusiastic of folks...but....that "you can feel it" thing, and "this is the REAL [site of XYZ]," 🤔🤣🤷♂

I visited this site in April 2023 with a tour guide and one of the local militiamen. The monument you see in this video is at Hill 900. From this monument it's a short hike (~500 meters my guesstimate) over to Hill 937. From Hill 937 you take another trail to reach a spot which was the Command Post site for Delta Company 3/187th. Between the Delta Company site and Hill 937 we found a dinner plate sized piece of helicopter fuselage. There were several bomb craters on the hill. The whole area is really thick with elephant grass, bamboo, and trees. From the bottom of the stairs (where you park the car) up to Hill 900 then over to Hill 937 then to the Company D CP site and back all the way to the car was a 3 hour hike. It's not for anyone out of shape, for sure. Of course, we had no heavy loads, no rain, no mud, and no unfriendlies along the way and it was still lots of "cardio" for the three of us. The UXO along the trail has been cleared, but it is still dangerous to go off any of the trails.

The US military didn't keep Hamburger Hill because their intention was to draw the NVA out, so the artillery and air power could be used to kill them in large numbers. The strategy was, always FIND. FIX and DESTROY. Our troops were just bait in a large chess game.

@trackrunner1111 ай бұрын
The big difference is that with all of the bombing and napalm thrown, there was mostly mud and splintered wood. The soldiers would climb the hill by digging their heels in the mud to push themselves up. If they lost all of their footing, they would slide down helplessly while exposing themselves to hostile fire.

If he attacks downhill. do not oppose him.” . Sad that US boys paid the price for US military commanders consistently outmaneuvered and outwitted by the NVA .

@ tom they werent outwitted by the nva. Your comment is half true though. Sad they had to pay the price but it wasn't due to being outwitted. The government and higher ups in the military used our troops essentially as bait to draw them out and in alot of cases to find how many there were in the hills. Reference Marine Al White's account from his time fighting in the foot hills of khe sanh in 67 a year before the actual seige of khe sanh which is the one that everyone knows about.

Fighting for their sovereignty and freedom, it is hard to beat and entrenched enemy, and one who's battle history, hardened their Warriors to very Fierce jungle Fighters. Most of us Americans give a lot of credit to the fighters in Vietnam. They were feared, because even though the loss of massive numbers of their men, did not deter them from pressing on with winning the war. As an American servicemen, I am happy to say America did not belong in that war. Not for one second.
