10 yrs old in 1970, we had Christmas at my grandparents house, my uncle Jack was home on leave from Vietnam where he piloted the F4 Phantom, I was in awe, I wanted to ask a lot of questions, but I realized he wasn't there to talk about the war. Thank God to all who've served and to those who serve today. 🇺🇸🙏

[@ChrisCoombes]

I bet you were excited to tell your friends at school about him. I would have been.

Hey Bubba did you know that more Americans have Been killed by Americans in America than all the Americans killed in all the foreign wars combined that Americans have fought in mainly thanks to the second amendment 🤓🤠🤯

[@waltergreif4836]

A great riveting history of great aircraft!! many thanks!!

[@Cdr_Mansfield_Cumming]

I always thought the Phantom was such a cool-looking plane. I remember watching them take off and land from the UK Carrier HMS Ark Royal in 1976. The Phantom was one hell of a noisy aircraft.

I was on the Ranger, 69-70, VF-21. Miramar . F-4J. Thanks for sharing your story.

[@MichaelBlanton-n5e]

The. F4. Is. Beautiful. ❤❤❤

[@w.rustylane5650]

Thanks for your service. I was on Yankee Station on the USS Coral Sea (CVA-43)(tail designation NL) from 12 November 1971 until 17 July 1972, with Marine All Weather Attack Squadron 224 (only 2nd Marine Air Wing in Vietnam). We flew A-6A's, A-6B's and KA-6D tankers with a EA-6B Prowler & lost 3 aircrews. We had one F-8 Crusader on board for reconnaissance. We had 2 F-4 fighter squadrons, VF-111 & VF-51, along with 2 Navy A-7D squadrons, VA-22 & VA-94. We are the ones who mined Hiaphong harbor in May 1972. Ohhh Rahh. Semper Fi. Cheers from an old Marine sergeant in eastern TN

Small world , I was on that cruise as well with VAQ-135 in the EKA-3b. Remember when Major Clyde Smith of VMA-224 was shot down and was on the mission when he was rescued. Be well shipmate.

Спасибо тебе,солдат..Я в то время был мальчишкой и смотрел коммунистическое тв. Многое не понимал.Но сегодня я знаю,ты воевал с коммунистами,а они братья нацистов.Ты победил.Я уверен в этом.Сегодня моя Украина сражается с потомками КГБ и такими же нацистами.Спасибо американскому народу за поддержку.Мы должны победить.Русские хотят нас уничтожить.У нас нет выхода,кроме как победить или умереть.

[@MichaelBlanton-n5e]

The. F 4. That. The. One. Bad. Boy. Fast. As. Hell. ❤

[@jamespell8091]

This was a heafty ,large substantial aircraft indeed. I remember them in the seventies at Moffat AFB as a youngster. Plus the drag races at Fremont. Hairy times indeed.

[@silverdrillpickle7596]

Thank you for the interview and thank you for your service Mr Gentleman 🫡 Thank you for keeping these stories alive.

[@billotto602]

What about the Grumman A6E Intruder ???

[@JFDA5458]

Considering the fact that the top aces in Vietnam were all VPAF I think he is being a little disingenuous in saying the Migs were less of a threat than AAA.

[@Vincemaan]

Pls do one about the A-37 Dragonfly pls

[@collinmccallum]

[@gavinmclean3174]

[@AnyoneSeenMikeHunt]

And after all that high tech and billions of dollars it proved unable to beat a bunch of cranky women in black pyjamas. 🙄

[@tuxster123]

Why did the USA lose vietnam???

[@paulevs4562]

More like wtf were they doing there in the first place?

[@AndrewHoffman-pv4sb]

The north Vietnamese were more determined to win. They held the moral and political will to make war indefinitely until victory. They deployed their youth in numbers under the north’s birth rate to maintain an unending force to fight till victory.

[@carlosaguilera7392]

Too bad the politicians of that era let the war drag for so long , and not let US forces show there true strength.

[@dareisnogod5711]

"...THEIR true strength."

[@GiangHoang-hd8uk]

Take off clothes and run. What is your mention strongest of Usa?

[@dennispapuyo6727]

Crew is all Caucasian ??

[@paulparker8298]

Finally someone talking the truth rather than your typical American bull 💩! This was the whole Vietnam war in a nutshell!!!
