All these Vietnam videos are basically BS. These veterans willingly chose to go to an unwinnable, illegal war. If they say otherwise they are promoting a falsehood. A lot of these people push the image that they could or did win the war, but the "politicians" and the "people back home" lost it. Vietnam was a national American disgrace, tragedy and defeat...and they share in the responsibility of it. The politicians and American people saw that the war was not being won, or was unwinnable. The US never really had the "hearts and minds" of the South Vietnamese people...who they supposedly were fighting for. They don't talk much about the war crimes they committed against the Vietnamese....OR even against their own personnel. Lastly, whether these guys won or lost...the Vietnam war had absolutely NO effect on American freedom, security, safety or way of life. They did NOT sacrifice anything for my...or your freedom. These veterans present themselves as victims and wrongly treated. They are big boys and went to a country to kill or be killed. They shared in the failure. Now they want to be recognized for their "sacrifice" through videos, Honor Flights, endless trips to the Wall in DC or to Vietnam itself. They never grew up and really moved on. They have made themselves an embarrassment to themselves and my generation.

I couldn't imagine how helpless you would feel to be in a situation like this. And to come out the other side of it is incredible.

My uncle was a soldier in WW2 and a pow in Burma he never spoke about it god bless all that served

My ex GF's granpa was taken POW from North Africa and spent the rest of the war working in the cotton fields of the south along with black workers. They got along very well, but he mentioned after the war that the POWs had a better life than the black workers. The POWs got 3 meals a day, plus cigarettes and even beer while the black folks got next to nothing.

Lt. Col. John McCrae was serving in Canadian Expeditionary Force not the British force.

We had POW's in Arizona, too. In an attempted escape, a few POW's found a map of the Phoenix area. They were held in Papago Park, an outcropping of rock, near what is today the interstate highways that come through downtown. They noted a river nearby and started planning to build shallow boats to go down the Salt River and out to the Gulf of California. They made all their preparations, slipped out of camp, and snuck down to the Salt River, only to find that "River" doesn't necessarily mean "river" in Arizona. Dry as the desert.

Mein Großvater war dort eingesperrt. Er stellte künstliche Zuckerwatte aus Maisseide her. Die Amerikaner liebten es und fanden, dass es großartig schmeckte.

My mother talked about the POWs in that part of Iowa, where she worked after high school.

Thank you for your service too bad half this country will vote for someone for president who thinks your a loser

now we have 43,000 "advisors" in Israel!😡😡😡

My godfather was a teenager and worked farms in Wisconsin with German pows.

Talking about imperialist bull-shit. The flag raising in Iwo Jima was and is a publicity stunt for the purpose of raising funds for the war. Pentagon knows the names of all the individuals who volunteered for the publicity stunt. Most likely he couldn't handle the irony of deception told to the American people...

its is almost funny how the germans were treated and how native alaskans were not treated that well during that war, they were uprooted and sent to places they had no idea how to survive...from a rock on the aleutian chaing to south east alaska where it was a rain forrest...you may think this is a small thing but they died and died, were it not for tlingits that lived there...more would have died..they were dropped off at run down canneries and were told to fend for themselves

10:30 Does that narrator sound like Johnny Carson ?

The Americans tried to prove they were the only empire in word, but in Europa people do miss the old empires, whom were more popular more human.

This video is what happens when governments are excluded and just Christian people are involved.

Yeah driving around would be terrifying cuz you know it's just a matter of time

They are the size of children. Two of them make one American. But their mean as f***

What about the germans spies?They were here too.They buit a communication bunker in a place not far from where i grew up.They were not all pows.Some were spies and then after the war assimilated into our population because thankfully we won ww2.Or did we? Believe it or not.

There's a history of Hessians being kept as POWs in Rutland MA during the Revelution. They had a 10 o'clock curfew which they constantly broke by staying out late at the tavern. There were also many complaints of impregnated young women by them. After the war, many just stayed.

Nothing is stopping women from signing up for Selective Service! There is a box the identifies gender.

Italian POWs helped my grandfather with his small farm near Attica, New York. I hadn’t yet been born at the time, but my older brother remembers the Italians walking out of the woods and after talking to my grandfather, going to work for him. My grandfather was an immigrant from Hungary, who didn’t speak any Italian. Maybe the Italians had picked up a little English during their internment. The funny thing is that was all done informally. The Italians had decided to go for a hike from the internment camp and ended up a few miles away at my grandfather’s farm. I would love to find out what happened to them after the war.

america is a disgrace. your government what is called united states of israel lied to you. your congress doesn't represent you. Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan???? america never learn. you're not a liberator. YOU'RE AN IMPERIALIST OCCUPIER

glad to be in America most likely

Years ago, I temporarily worked in Germany and met a few people who were POWs in USA in Eastern US and they loved it because they were not treated like prisoners. They had a very good impression of America because they were never treated poorly.

In the Jim Crow south, returning black American veterans had to step off the sidewalks whenever a white ex German prisoner approached them simply because they were white.

McCain folded like the tratior he was!

Thanks Michael, I enjoyed your video.

My parents had German POW farm labor for a few weeks after my Dad returned from Europe in 1945.

Most of these guys grew up in rural German, worked hard every day on their own farms…even at war they had more civility than people do today…

There was a camp near my hometown. McAlester, Oklahoma. All that is left is a small castle that the prisoners built to remind them of home. It's still stands.

Mine was interned in a Wyoming camp near Torrington. He worked in local agriculture. He returned after the war because he loved the area and it's people.

I'd rather have them than what's coming in now!

A Nazi is a Nazi. Period. Don't try gaslighting me with this bootlicking ad for friendly nazis. Ugh. Garbage. What next, Trump won in 2020? Rubbish.

I remember once incident at a POW cap in southern Alberta. Some of the German prisoners wanted to go hiking in the mountains nearby. The guards agreed but told them if they don't get back they don't eat. They all got back.

My Granduncle was a POW who worked in Wisconsin on farms. Him and others were beaten. He went back to Germany after the war and lived to be 99 years old. He was a hard worker and strong as an ox.

To this day i get suspicious of a trash bag in the side of the road

A movie to watch......the greatest story never told

I heard there was a group of german pow that escaped but didn't make it the bar tavern and were bought back to pow camp completely tanked.
