​@QuadrupleJMontage don't be a clown..numerous veterans of previous wars and volunteers

The sad thing is South Vietnam could have easily held on. But the US withdrew all military support, which included ammunition shipments and helping with gear. While the USSR, China etc kept supplying the North.

James Wolpert that’s a very ignorant comment

@@unitedchainsofamerica He was a professional career officer who cared for his soldiers. It is the job of a person who chooses to be a soldier and especially an infantry soldier, to move towards the sound of the guns.

@@NguyenThien-gr9mv I've been here for two years now. I love it here and never want to leave

Had same thought when I was there 14 years ago. While talking to one young woman in a small town, I notice an older man sitting on a stool behind her. He was sitting on a stool in front of their small house. I asked here (my buddy and both being Cdns) why we weren’t getting more grief from people because it would be easy to assume we were Americans. She basically said the war was a king time ago. And just them the old man - who was her grandfather- stood up, and turned towards us. Only then do I see his right side…and that he was missing his right arm. Other big cultural wale-up was going to the War Museum in Hanoi. Right after entering there is a big 3d model of a famous battle. And we got confused reading the info plaque beside it, because the year of the battle was far earlier than the 1960s. Then we caught on… where we think if the Bietnam War being the US Vs Vietnam? For the Vietnamese it was just one of the many wars they’d fought, including major ones with France and with China. (The 3d display was from a famous battle with the French). Big lesson in perspective!

make sure you visit the war museum.

They jammed a lot back then. Since they didn't issue cleaning kits for the 16, a lot of us (Echo Co. 1st Recon) managed to get relatives to send us .22 cal. cleaning kits. A guy named Kakas, somehow got his mom to send him 20 Winchester .22 cal. cleaning kits, with extra bottles of Hoppe's #9. Those kits saved more lives then she can ever know. God bless you Mrs. Kakas. Too this day, other than small game hunting and shooting at a range for cheap grins and giggles, the 16 and M-4 remain pretty fair doorstops. Neither of those weapons compare in any way shape or form to my LR-308 or M-14. I saw way too many young men die, trying to unfuck a 16. Stoner is probably still pissed about what Colt and the Army did to his design. You can disagree but I'm a Marine and it will just go easier, on you, if you just remember that I'm right. As always YMMV.;-)

Hot dirty weapons do that

@@kirkjones9639 - They M16 had problems jamming because the gunpowder used was cheap and jammed up the gun. The problem was rectified when a better grade of gunpowder was used.

Awesome that is

What a brainwashed way of thinking. They are invaders and literal terrorists

Well said, as a Canadian that believes the US soldiers did their duties bravely as it was a totally different war. If you havent seen it their is a doc somewhere here on youtube about US soldiers building gun trucks. EDIT: there instead of their , sorry guys

Yeah, they were lied to and sent off to die for a country that doesn't care about them.

Some important points such as Truong Son Road suffered 4,000,000 tons of bombs; Although Khe Sanh is an area only 8 km² wide between the two sides, in just 77 days the battle of Khe Sanh suffered 110,000 tons of bombs and bullets, making this the place where bombs and bullets suffered the most in history; Demilitarized Zone 17th Parallel (Vietnam Demilitarized Zone - DMZ); Fork copper fortune; Operation Rolling Thunder dropped 864,000 tons of bombs, killing and injuring 72,000 Vietnamese civilians, Quang Tri and especially in the ancient citadel and town in 1972 suffered 328 bombs, 9552 rounds of bullets. 105mm, 55 rounds of 155mm artillery shells, 8164 rounds of 175mm artillery shells, more than 615 shells, the destructive power of 7 atomic bombs on Hiroshima, etc., and many more places in Vietnam where the ground still contains bombs.

Could not have said it better.

Did you know Rick Rescorla Sir?

Thank you for your service, you are better off to not have went to Vietnam. Our corrupt politicians have blood on their hands. I am a Vietnam combat veteran 69-70, I lost my best friend and many other brothers and it haunts me to this day.

We still make these men, they just haven't been tested yet.

And the horror for the Vietnamese at the time????

you see innocent civilians living in their homeland are props for men of glory to stand above in history. So any horror, tragedy and misery suffered by them is meaningless to the jingoists.

Pales in comparison to the horrors Vietnamese civilians faced by said troops.

Imagine what vietnamese civilians went through.

Karolis - After USA leaves Vietnam the good guys from Red Khmer just killed 3 million of innocent civilians....

Not true but ok

Soldiers are idiots. I don't mean they are born idiots but made ones.

Right

War is old men talking and young men dying

Many politicians never fought in a war. Some didn't even serve in the military. John McCain was a proud American and would have made an excellent commander in chief. He fought in Vietnam in the late '60's.

Ralph Sanchico ... To simplified to such a complex equation. But, I disagree with you regarding the politician not caring about the soldiers. I believe most politicians do care, but have to make the tough decision to use force. The soldier has a job. It is to fight wars and protect the country.

I love them also. I thank you all veterans that helped Vietnam and now it's a good place to travel and it's a beautiful country. All of you veterans you have my heart and soul for giving us freedom and the vietnamese that we are finally friends. To all soliders. I salute you. I have to stop now because I have a lump in my throat. Love you all

Yea, today's military are taken care of. Maybe the government learned from us Viet Nam guys what they needed to GET THE JOB DONE.

I was on OIF in 03-04, 06-07. I was in Nam in 69-71, 1st Marines, In my opinion, would not been able to home the bush and especially the mountains and engage the NVA & Viet Cong The way we did with the gear we had to wear in Iraq.

@@myjeepwjarebuildpaulsteven7986 Thanks for your service!! If you don't mind me asking, how did you go to vietnam and OIF? comtract work?

Read 'Matterhorn' by Karl Marlantes. Probably the best war novel I have read, on par or better than 'With The Old Breed' for me.

ive read it many times. amazing book. btw im oz not usa

I understand

We did not loose the war, the politicians did that. The North was willing to sign a peace treaty but the politico's did not carry out their part of the bargain. Plus on Sept 18, 1965 members of the 2/502-101st ABN got into a major engagement with the 535th North Vietnamese Reg. Out of 27 choppers flying on the first lift, there were nine left flying after the 3rd lift. We lost all our company commanders and Maj Dexter the Battalion XO. How do I know this ?? Because I was there...

D J no u

VMA225 correct

I think where AARP errored in the description of this video is the engagement at the Ia Drang Valley, if I am not mistaken, is historically the first time during which the Army 1st Air Cavalry unit used helicopters in theater, making it the first ever Cavalry air assault, carried out by members of A Co. 1st Bn. 7th Cavalry (Airmobile). I cannot say how accurate I am, but clearly Operation Starlite aka Battle of Van Tuong was the first major U.S. offensive during the Vietnam War.

If you're going to get picky, Dien Ben Phu was pretty big, and the US-Vietnam conflict was a direct extension of the France-Vietnam conflict. One reason that Vietnam War happened was the US' push to disassemble the pre-WWII colonial empires, without understanding the power vacuums that would create and the regional conflicts that would re-ignite once the external controls were off - Suez -> Middle East conflict : Israel and British Palestine -> Middle East conflict : French Indo-China -> Vietnam War : etc. And then other govts joined in, and you got the Iranian regime change, for example.

Gungy!

Well said Ian thats why US and Great Britain Will allways fight for each other.

Yes mine too I saw a the replica of the "wall" I started crying

To put it in perspective, the British took over 57,000 casualties on the first day of The Battle of the Somme in 1916, with almost half that number KIA.

Ian, lots of Brits (Limeys) come to the states, you folks are pretty much as we are, but, you talk a wee bit with an accent, of course we sound a tad different to your ears, but, I guess it is 6 of one or a half dozen of an other, but, if you bring young kids or marry and start a family here, aha, your kids will not sound like you.

Boondocker yes true my aunt is Texan and she married a "yankee" now she sounds like him🤔 my granddaughter was born n England while son was stationed there but.... 🙄

For what? Invading a country half way around the world and killing 4 million people? Service to whom exactly?

Can you not read? Or do you just have a problem with reading comprehension? Or maybe you aren't capable of understanding the concept of a soldier being willing to risk his life so you can live in peace (regardless of how the particular war he is ordered to fight in is viewed years later). I thanked Colonel Nadal and his comrades for their service. Whether or not the war was justified in your opinion or mine does not matter. A soldier does not get to pick and choose which wars he or she participates in. A soldier risks and often gives his or her life so people like you and me get to live the way we do.
