😢😢😢😢😢😢

Hes out there with you

The young never think they going to die. Was a bullshit war and your brother should still be fishing with you and not killed in Vietnam

Smh, your brother is my hero. God Bless

Thank you for your sacrifice

you lost the war

Not just Vietcong. That's tactics.

The dinks would drop the point man and in doing so the medic would come. They knew that by dropping the medic and the radioman, they had an easy win. After a while, we got smarter and held back. Point man would walk it by his self for upwards of 50 meters , sometimes less, sometimes way more than what was safe. The practice would be to allow the point man to be separate and we'd watch for where the fire came from and make the ambush a counter offensive.

@@DonB.-Mulefivefive So in a sense, the point man became something of a sacrifice? Christ that's horrible. It's no wonder that guerrilla warfare has been a terrible issue for every great power that has had to endure it, even as far back as ancient times (the Romans also always struggled with guerrilla warfare).

@@blakeprocter5818 In a sense yes, and no . Sometimes it was a cherry, but I only saw that , go on one time. The rule of thumb was, if you had over 30 days in , then you got it. Usually, from the flip side of that coin was, allow the point to walk on by, and several others, find the radioman and isolate him ( there were two types of antennas and the long "wand" was draped over and into the RRTY's shirt so it didn't reflect any metallic surface in the glare of the sun. The other type was a short want that didn't stick up that much and, obviously, didn't work that great for long reaches ). The NVA , were well trained, well equipped and well led. The VC, not so much but they had the basic's down to a tee. When the point was dropped, or the second or third guy in, the medic's going to come and that's a given. If they managed to drop him then finding the RTTY was next. Once you're cut off from those two aspects , they did what we saw and heard of later . " Grab them by the belt buckle and they become weak" and they knew that. I'll give the NVA this much, as an army, and being trained as they were then and probably roe so now, they'd be my go-to for close in fighting. The mental imagery of a honey badger comes to mind. They don't give a fuck and they will do everything they can to fuck you up.

For all of their hardware & superior fire power Americans are no match for guerilla warfare The VC knew that Thats why North Vietnam won out

Jesus Christ they got fucking kids shooting shit up and raping in Vietnam this world is rough

Myth: American Atrocities Were Widespread If they were they were covered up with extraordinary skill and precision. Only two documented cases of War Crimes can be attributed to American Military personnel. One was the senseless slaughter of civilians in March 1968 at the village of My Lai by the 1st platoon of Charlie Company, 1st Battalion 20th Infantry, 11th Light Infantry Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division (Americal). The other was the murder of 16 noncombatant women and children by five U.S. Marines of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, at a village named Son Thang-4, southwest of Danang, on 19 February 1970. In both cases there was a court martial, and in both cases the accused were found guilty. In the case of Lt. William Calley, President Nixon stepped in and pardoned him after he had spent three years under house arrest. Why Nixon did this is unknown, but it is beyond belief that he would do such a thing. For the end result is a slap in the face to every Vietnam Veteran who did their job and served with honor by adhering to the Rules of Land Warfare of the 1949 Geneva Convention which set the rules of engagement and expressly forbid the type of behavior exhibited by Calley and the thugs he commanded. They were not soldiers. They were thugs.

continued But while these egregious crimes have been trotted out at every opportunity by the anti-war movement, very little attention was paid to the horrendous atrocities committed by the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong on their own people. One of the end results of the 1968 Tet offensive was the deliberate roundup and murder of as many as 5,000 South Vietnamese civilians--doctors, teachers, lawyers, businessmen--by the NVA/VC during the periods that they held territory. The most widespread atrocities occurred in the Imperial city of Hue. There alone the Communists killed over 3,000 South Vietnamese. This behavior was not widely reported by the press, and either ignored by the anti-war movement at best, or justified by them as necessary in a socialist revolution. Additionally, not much of a fuss has been made over the intentional murder of American civilians (including missionaries and USAID workers) captured and murdered by the North Vietnamese. U.S. POWs did not fair any better. Those that were not murdered were systematically tortured by the North Vietnamese. Although these atrocities qualify as war crimes under the Geneva Convention, the lunatic fringe of the radical left condones those acts as "justifiable".

It's true of all wars.

I don't think it's your soul, I just think that people lose a part of themselves that they never get back. I'm not a soldier, but I know from other experiences in life, that you are never the same after something happens, and no matter how hard that you try to put the pieces back together, you can't and never will be able to again.

Humanity was there, alive and well..."Keep your head down, you're married." I dont think I've heard an admission of brotherhood that heartfelt, genuine, or innocent. Thats love in war and it shouldnt have to come out because of it but it does and its the only redeeming quality of war.

@@natanforlife we dont know What he did...

Many sons, daughters of Vietnam died in that war because of nothing more than to unite their country, to protected their love ones. Many of them are not qualified by physically to join the battle but they volunteered to did so. That was a horrible pages of our history, in thoughts of the war could’ve been avoided. I wish my homeland will never at war once more, she has suffered enough.

In World War II, there were fighter squadron leaders at 20 and 21 years old. Most P-51, P-47 and P-38 fighter pilots flying into German airspace were 19 and 20 year olds. B-17 bomber crews we led by 20 year old aircraft commander's. Paul Tibbets was 29 years old and led the B-29 squadron that was responsible for the Atomic Bomb missions and Sweeney was 27 years old and aircraft commander of Bock's Car that dropped the bomb on Nagasaki.

Well said, sir.

True that! I totally hate the idea that we dissed these warriors when we should have been supporting the efforts they were doing in the name of our country. My thanks for all of our Vietnam vets.

@@sandypeppers6861 They weren't really doing all that much in the name of our country though. They were fighting a bullshit war propagated by our screwed up government. A lot of the vets that fought in the war said this same thing themselves. I think the vets should be honored point blank, but a lot of them said the war was pointless and that they shouldn't have been fighting it in the first place. It's not the vets fault, so they should be commended and the government should be condemned.

@@antthomas7916 Stopping communism is a good thing. If I lived in a shit commie country I'd want to be helped. The shitty part is that our scumbag government failed our troops and the South Vietnamese. Politics are what's bullshit.

hey nikki, i'm not trying to take credit from these brave veterans. i was in Bien Hoa AFB 1967-68 and 69-70. the Tet offensive was the horror era for all GIs, that's when i was wounded, slept on rain-soaked mud ground, rice bugs, mosquitoes, insects, for 45 days with M16 and unlimited rounds, ready for the Charlies trying to overrun this F100 fighter base. the VC wanted this base destroyed so the roughneck won't get their aero support. i was part of the engine shop crew, saw one of my crew members got it real bad when VC fired 122 mm rocket into our base 2-3 am for 45 days living on C-ration. since i was m16 qualified marksmanship, i had to assist the Air police guard the base perimeter while watching the firefight going on during the Tet. most scary parts was when the 122 mm rocket passing overhead no telling where it will land. i got wounded when one landed a few yards from my two-story wooden barracks. an American Indian native died and one of my crew members got his head wounded very badly, had to medivac to japan. that's when the whole base was on c-ration 45 days until the mess hall back to speed. it seems the history is repeating itself with these diaper rash infants protesting to destroy our freedom.

Solitude 406 (youtuber)'s dad was in the 173rd too.

@Jonathan PlechatyIt is within. McCarthy was right.

@Tony Dinh Dinh, that must be a real common name in Vietnam. I know like 5 people from there, served with two in the Navy. All has the name Dinh, no relation though. It's true, we had no business of going to Vietnam. Vietnam was a different story to Korea, but was played up to be the same situation.

Yet every time a movement acts to stop wars, everyone shits on them while at the same time they celebrate and thank those who by sheer luck survived the whole fucking mess , just stopping short of making them holy men in their culture, the same culture that allows for their comrades to become homeless and die of hunger in their streets while those whose business-interests they had to go and fight for, live lavishly and stay home and make sure their sons can wriggle out of said service. People are stupid and I hate them.

Many years ago I found a personal blog from an artillery gunner who was in Vietnam and he had a similar experience. He said when he got there he thought he would never be able to sleep through the artillery barrages since their billet was a few yards away. He described the sensation of the earth moving down beneath his cot which jolted him slightly, combined with the deafening blast of the artillery firing. Two weeks in he was sleeping like a baby. No need for extreme exhaustion. He just became completely acclimated to it.
