The vietnam war brought a whole new genre of music to vietnam. As Americans played rock music on the radio and left some behind, the local vietnamese would eventually combine it with their own local music to make something new. For example songs like this kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7F8jbZ0ns_GYWg.html

Fucking hate that map

hardest map to attack as VC, the spawncamping is horrible

@@SniperFallen06 walls are paper thin

@@SniperFallen06 its really alpha that's the problem, its objectively the hardest point in the game to capture as Vietcong. There is a way to do it but its really hard, if you can time it right do a combo of commander abilities, starting first by activating trail, then dropping arty and rushing onto the point to ambush. If you are able to time it right you can normally get alpha. Bravo gets a little bit more easy due to the fact you can flank on the left and assault through the basement. Again the best bet is using the same strategy as alpha saving your aa for spook if they have it. Charlie is hard to take if you allow the enemy to fortify it and delta is a joke, the best bet is to sprint into charlie and ambush if you still have it, delta can be taken super easy especially if you have an arty strike. As for the presidential palace your best bet is to climb the pipes and ambush everyone on top of the roof, really good because they never expect it and you are basically guaranteeing that the us cant drop spook napalm or arty on you. Its unlikely that you will end up holding both the roof and the ground for long so if you ever get one the entire focus should then divert to just rushing on to the ground point.

@@royalpain6338 I learned how to attack saigon cause I had never seen it fall and once you know how to do it , it aint hard. A has to be pushed with a whole squad through the east, where the two houses are and going throughout the back of the embassy towards the second floor. Once you reach that, got to clear the whole second floor. Once that is done, A falls easily, even with pushes from the center. B has to be taken climbing the pipes in the front of the point, need some decent people as snipers or using the mosin to clear the second floor windows, that's the biggest deal of B cause if they stick there its almost impossible to take. Once one or two squads climb the second floor and start shooting to the first, B is easily taken. C and D, D is the easiest by far, most of the times isnt even defended. But if that's the case just flank through the east street going behind the houses, take a spot and clear the back road. Lot of people go through there to defend D, once the street is clear is just pushing with smokes or an arty, but its never a hard point to take. C is much easier than many people think, if you have a machinegunner, take it to the police station rooftop and start making some suppression into C, all those walls are wallbang so by just shooting at them he is doing plenty of work. The rest of the squad/team only has to flank into the street on the left, which ussually no one defends and it goes straight into an entrance to C, even you can place some tunnels close to it. Once you get in c, got to neutralize the ones coming, leave a guy covering the entrance and start clearing all of the floors, nades are really important here. Once the entrance has been covered all you got to do is push through the stairs until you take it, there isnt much to do as a defender specially because it is indoors, so no arty or napalm. E and F : There are some different ways to take these points, if your commander is good and knows the map once D and C is taken he would be already at F calling you to suicide so he can ambush the whole team in. That's almost always instawin. If not, use the tunnels that are in the middle of D and C, that go into E's entrances, place a good tunnel and clear E side entrance. You dont have to be Rambo and stick there, but climb throughout the stairs on the side of the building, those stairs are the vital spot of these two points. If you have control on it, the enemies wont be able to get into E or even F, what I recommend is if you are a sapper go and place several landmines on the stair, almost nobody checks and you got plenty of free kills there. After you taken the whole stairs you will be on F and there isnt so much left, just after clearing the rooms that are close, stick to the hall and shoot the enemies that are coming, that's the only way to get into F as defenders, so its a one-way hall where you got the advantage. The other thing is , once you taken e you can climb the pipes on the front of the building into the rooftop, that makes easier to clear F, but isnt as safe as using the stairs to clear the most part of the enemies. And, that's all. Saigon seems intimidating and I think its the best map of RS2 by far, but once you know what to do instead of going into the middle like a meatgrinder its winnable.

@@darkdialga777 Well I would say that the US was purely not virtuous in this case. On paper the Vietnam war was intended to stop the soviet block and China. The truth is ... not so much. If you know your Geopolitics, you'd know that Vietnam is inherently anti chinese, the Chinese war right after the Vietnam war proved that. The Soviet block was on it's way out now that the 1st Afgan war failed, and the East Germany was failing hard. Here's the crucial thing, during the Vietnamese independence from French colonial celebration, there was an American General overseeing it. The Vietnamese declaration of independence took certain articles from the American declaration of independence (translated of course). The American mediator in Vietnam directly told American high command that Vietnam would be a valuable ally against China, despite being communist. The rest is history. So no the Vietnam war didn't have to happen and people died for poor leadership.

Some of his Brothers in arms was still bloodied when they break a run for the airport so some filipino medics patched them up with bandages and gave bread to snack on, all the while the filipinos were singing a song to calm down civilians to not panic themselves midflight."They are a merry band of young good people" he said and took the time to learn their culture for three months on Cebu before getting called back to America.

In all honesty, the US should never have gotten involved in the first place. Or, in a round about way, gotten involved far sooner. Because Ho Chi Minh actually wrote to the US for help setting up a Vietnamese government outside of the French Indochinese cabinet. It was only when President Truman didn't respond because the letter never reached his desk that Minh and his followers went to Stalin instead and started to practice Marxist-Leninist Theory.
