Does anyone that views this propaganda ever ask what a young American was doing being Point Man in a country 8000 miles from the US....across the entire Pacific Ocean, in another hemisphere, and on another continent? Supposedly fighting for America's freedom and Democracy.? The answer is most likely No. That's why those clowns went to Vietnam. That's why we still deal with that American disaster 50 years later. Ignorant Americans following an imperialistic and dysfunctional US Government.

You know what. If you lose over half of your entire company in one battle and then the other half a few weeks later, something is very wrong. Someone is making some very bad decisions. Someone has absolutely no idea where or how many of the enemy is in the area. Knowing is everything and not knowing makes it very hard for family of the KIAs to say "thank you for your service". How many "McNamara's Morons" where in charge that day?

I wonder if the NVA were constantly shooting their own guys. I wonder if one of their leaders had to tell them to stop doing that.
@otadashi1570 2 ай бұрын
Imagine always having to fight the enemy on their terms. Things getting so desperate that you start firing on your own guys.. And if that wasn't bad enough, you actually had to tell them to stop firing on their own guys. I always wondered how many of these guys doing that were one of "McNamara's Morons".

Don't remember whose it was but it was a Eldorado got my first ticket in that Eldorado..that Seal Team One emblem on the middle of back window prevented me from going to jail that night. Ihad No license, was drinking, driving on the sidewalks, and evading…crazy night!

@@truestoriesfromthevietnamwar Fortunately in way at least they too were gone already so Grandma was all alone. She sold the small family farm and headed to America to start a new life. And now here “I” am! Never met her however with my Dad marrying late in life so she was already gone ten years before I was born in 1964.
