Alpha Male Domination and Control is the existential reason for aggression, as usual...

The question should not be how was he defeated but how was he ever succesfull in africa. Answer: the Germans found the code to decipher Allied communication in an Allied embasy in ittally. Rommel knew what the Allied were going to do the whole time.

Becouse of Tsung Tzu hahahhaah bible of war

Charlie is all up in the Trees Man !!

This always looks like a learning experience. These things are never as simple as they look and you need to find out where your weaknesses are, such as Patton and Montgomery being incompatible. Imagine the carnage if they had gone into Normandy without practice.

I always wonder why the free French weren't the first ones to hit the beaches in Normandy. Anybody know why?

It was the French that created Vietnam to become communist

My grandfather was in an Army mobile medical unit on Okinawa. He had previously been on Leyte. He was 27 with three kids. I'm grateful he served and made it home. Many Years later I met my best friend. His obachan was Okinawan. She was not living on Okinawa during the war, but what a circle of life. She was a courageous woman, and I'm blessed to have known her.

home advantage gad dangit

American can never win a war

because us knows that nuclear war has no winner

Сколько Франция продержалась 40дней , кажется?

LBJ and the cia wanted this war to enrich the oligarchy.

"What was the first modern war" is an artificial question that doesn't really need an answer. It's a lead-in for a discussion topic. As such, this video was a comprehensive overview. The title is a little bit of a misleading hook, though.

Churchill was a man that was evil to the core.

I don't know why you say the 1968 election was closely contested. Even with Wallace spoiling Nixon had many more electoral votes.

The same thing has happened in every foreign conflict the US has been involved in but they keep doing it.

...."the least bad option"...... ain't that the truth.

Kissinger was the biggest war criminal ever. He was the "American Hitler "

Nixon was a big supporter of covert surveillance. Remember Watergate?😂

First, I was a little kid in the North when Nixon bombed in 1972. I still remember how grown-ups whispered about B52, with fear. Many many years later while living in the US, I had a lot of worries and anxieties. I went to see a dowser. He "diagnosed" me having some fear when I was a young kid. I told him that I had grown up in a safe family environment during those young years. We traced my life back in time and found VN war. I told him that I had never seen the war casualty. My cousin of the same age and myself, we used to play under a pomelo tree and run into a bomb shelter if there had been some siren. Our grandparents made it so fun that we did not really know that a war was going on. Anyway, I mentioned to him about hearing grownups whisper. The dowser helped me to release the fear that I did not I had.

Because the United States was done experimenting with weapons.

Thương cho dân tộc tôi 2000 năm chiến đấu để được tự do . Việt Nam Muôn Năm !!!!!

It's almost like wars against ideas can't be won🤔🤦‍♀️

I was born in 71

And our uh-1s and ah-1s have graduated to what they are today

I was a Vietnam Veteran before it became popular. Iron Triangle 1969. 🪖🇺🇸

I was a Vietnam Veteran before it became popular! Iron Triangle 1969

Lied and lack of proved documents!

This war was such a disaster.

I've watched a lot of content on the Vietnam War and this is very condensed and well presented, Also, it contains photos I've never seen before and that's always interesting.

This sounds a lot like what happened in Afghanistan.

Last I remember we were thrown out and rightfully so.

All wars are banker wars.

US lost

The U S has killed as many as twelve million people worldwide since the Second World War .

French generals could not hold back the invasion and could not organize resistance

It's really pretty simple. For the most part guerrilla wars are tough to win. Most people forget that the US had a miserable affair in the Phillipines (early 1900s) that rarely gets discussed. Precursor to Vietnam.

Because they lost !

Probably the greatest military disaster we ever had. As bad as the Beresina was, it did not bring neither military occupation ( except for a very brief period in 1815) nor eternal dishonor and last longing military humiliation. Merci d'avoir rappelé que beaucoup de français se sont quand même battu avec courage ! 😁👍

Keep this episode, to the day USA will abandon Ukraine. BTW USA was and is the biggest war criminal in history of mankind.

The American could have been a great ally along as the Soviet Union. It is so ironic to see the American have to fight against the army they once trained before 1945. The American attacked us just because of their ally's urge, French army, who lost drastically in Dien Bien Phu. And they escalated the conflict which shouldn't have occured, because they know President Ho Chi Minh will won and reunify the country, if everyone followed '54 Geneve Agreement and what should have happened happened. But everything came into place after the failed attack to NVA in North Vietnam in 1972, which killed thousands of people. The American forced to go home, and once "bravery" South Vietnam Army lost dramatically in just 3 years.

It's crazy how people actually think we couldn't beat North Vietnam in a war. The United States could've annihilated North Vietnam. The United States never declared war on them. Instead it was called a "Police Action". So don't sit here and say it wasn't winnable. They could've ended that conflict in one day.

Just emphasizing how wasted South Vietnam Army was: The captured equipments have been repurposed to fight against the Pol Pot regime even Red Khmer was just nothing but the ashes in 1985. And those captured equipments were about to last "in few month" under South Vietnam's estimation.

There was massive sympathy growing for buddhism, socialism, "poor worker" sentiments, and media and hippy movement contributed to that. It was music festivals, drugs, sexual revolution, abandoning church. They painted the war as a slaughtering of poor peasants, by capitalists with big guns. Television was still relatively new, and daily images of the war were quite confronting. Soldiers burning huts, crying mothers with babies, young boys bound by their hands, body bags. And Washington got the blame for all of it. That was what the U.S. negotiators must have felt at that time, when they made these poor deals, effectively handing over the country to the communists. President Thieu was right. Had they forgotten, that this was an international Communist war against the Church and against Western influence in Vietnam, and in all the colonies? That this was an attack against the traditional christian Order, launched already at he close of World war II.

D. M. Giangreco did comprehensive postwar research of all military records both US and Japanese that will pretty much end the debate as to whether the bombs factored in shortening the war or not. He has much to offer about the Soviet invasion in which we invested heavily. There's no speculation or theory in his work. Just the facts which add up to debunking revisionism on this.
