You were ambushed out of blue n disapeared

My aunt gave me a saint christopher to wear while in iraq so between that the vehicle commander having saint Michael and our driver a rosary so we felt safe from all sides

The Lord was your provider . . . only thing that saved you.

I can tell he is of Irish decent.. 🇮🇪🇺🇸

And now Nam is a paradise to visit where our presidents meet adversaries. What a waste of lives and money based on lies.......again

Thank you Sir for your service.....

I can only hope that the aging hippie class has come to realize that it was the politicians and generals at fault, not the troops. The troops were getting their asses shot off in a war they did not want nor wish to participate in… I’m glad to see that you survived and although I was not one of the rowdy crowd, please accept our apologies for your service and honorable behavior. Jane Fonda and her ilk be damned….

Thank You For Your Service and Sacrifice

Thank you for your service young man!!!❤

Thank you for your service sir! 🇺🇸

God Bless You and your Mother. Thank you for your service.

It was so stupidly easy at that time to be a protester, but even stupider was protesting the US victims of the war who were the soldiers, as if they ordered the war. What idiots.

. . . 14months in country w/ 173d Abn Bde, '65-66 . . . walking point was the unlucky draw, usually appointed to the 'best point', the one who knew WTF was going on, and had a '6th sense' about where the VC were . . . not some FNG. We were the best unit in Vietnam. period

Welcome home sir, true American hero

These soldiers did not get any respect after they came home.

Thank You for your service Sir!! I totally agree with You!

Welcome Home Soldier!!

So basically this guy is Rambo?

God bless you for your service🙏🏼

Oh my goodness I have no idea what it is like to wake and sleep not knowing if you will wake the next day or evening to have to live to fight for your life and your fellow soldiers. I can not even imagine what it is like to run & fight for your life. Bless you and your soldiers You and your fellow brothers have my respect and my gratitude bless you and thankyou for your sacrifice ❤

Sad history of our politicians and generals betrayed our troops

Great ending

OIF/OEF vet. Similar experience except i was never treated with disrespect. The worst case was indifference, which i liked. I cant even imagine dude. Id have given my left nut to be there with you no matter how bad.

He thanks you for letting him die with friends in an American Hilacopter being free. Yes he knew you were doing good. Thank you.

Living your whole adult life with ptsd.

The thing that pisses me off about flame thrower units is that they should be heavily armored. We already know they are bulky targets, might aswell protect them as much as possible. I know that gear would be horribly heavy but damn better than nothing

We never seem to find out who is making strategic decisions before the guys go in and who is making tactical decisions when the guys call for help. The result was far too many casualties related to those decisions... and...the very same thing was done in Afghanistan.

This is sad to see goodmen die for what?

Dang glad you made it Sir!😊

They did the same to my dad when he got back from Vietnam and went back to Chicago. Rip. My father was combat engineer and Purple Heart recipient for being wounded with a gut shot.

Still going on….high school to flight school it’s called.

Ahhh, the A Shau Valley. My gransfather was there the same time this dude was. His childhood best friend was killed on hamburger hill. He acompanied his body back to Portage County, NE Ohio. Was so disgusted by the war and how it was fought that he went A Wall, if you knew/know my grandfather you cant believe it. He went back before he could be court martialed, but too late for a free flight back, so he bought his ticket and upon landing rhey were being shelled. Said he basically paid to die

Dad was being supportive

shameful war. shame on US. 3 million dead... for what ?

asymmetrical warfare is the norm. it's best we keep up...but no...US ain't that smart...

Those are the same people who are running our country right now

The ausdies were forever grateful for what McArthur did.

WELCOME HOME THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE Sorry you have to live like that my brother was over there and said you'll never forget their faces

Crazy. God bless these men.

So sad the American soldiers, that were doing their duty to their country, were treated is such a hateful manner. I don't recall these hateful people flipping off or spitting on LBJ for escalating the war so he and his griends could profit from Americans dying. Thank you for your service. Find peace in knowing that the silent majority were on your side.

Shame on those who treated a vet poorly because of their government.

God aint got nothing to do with it

God bless you and all of the courageous men with you. Thank you and your family for your service.

This was most likely an NVA unit they encountered, they were the toughest bastards of all reds, especially Dac Cong special forces.

Hello I would kindly make a suggestion. If you could come down to Alabama to do interviews with some of our Vietnam vets. I’ve met quite a few of them and needless to say their stories are incredible. So if you feel like your channel is hitting a content drought Alabama houses a few vets that have amazing stories to tell 😄

I can only imagine and would not want to experience what these heroes did for our country. They were so young and I'm sorry for any losses. The government needs to take care of our military soldiers.

You're a true hero, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️.

That was wrong. 😞 Thank you all for the service to our country. 🇺🇸

They were the same scumbags they are today.
