78yo Navy vet (65-69) Retired 1988. Been university history professor ever since. Tomorrow (2.8.24) teaching class about Vietnam War. Just downloaded the music to play as intro. Sometimes I have to stop a second or two remembering the things I saw, have studied and taught all these years. Always invite all students, registered or not, for this class. Now have children of former students learning about the tragedy.

I have try to keep my comments to myself, but the A holds who dis-honored you guys that were in combat are so full CaCa ! I met many vets in my career one Marine (Marine) who’s post was overrun at the DMZ , he toll me not to let Snot noses , that we are a brotherhood . We who service with honor are 2nd none . We were lie to as young man , we did what was right at time. I enlisted . Today the A holds who are out there lie to many Americans ! War suck we all agree but no one who has not served has any right to call Combat vets Cowards or Losers ! We serviced came home are uniforms came off but we took a oath as Americans to protect the Constitution and that my brothers stands today, F those who do not understand the music kept many of you guys alive and something to come home .

My Dad took his life in 1983. He made it home from the war, but brought the war home with him like so many other soldiers. A battle he couldnt fight and win. Its a shame that it took so long to get these Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, And Sailors the mental help they needed to continue life after the war. I'd give anything to have him here. So God Bless all the warriors of the Vietnam war!

[@CaveTroll-hp4vf]

I'm sorry to hear about your father. Another brother had to confront a soldier's dilemma and decided he couldn't win this battle. Those of us who were not Rambo, but showed up, as young impetuous teens, came quickly into manhood, or went home in bags. As a young teen, it was easy to fill our heads with ideas of heroics and glory, Young, patriotic, never questioned if we were doing the right thing, and easily learned to hate, whoever the enemy was said to be. Not a bad thing for a soldier. Then the war ends when you ride that magic carpet back to civilization. You learn you're not a hero, you're actually spit on and called a murderer, only now, you have the time to think about it, and surprise, your morals sprouted. So, Soldiers, I mean all service people, put aside their religious and ethical morals to survive and perform War. We're reminded killing each other is sinful, we knew this and still chose to do what we did and so our first sacrifice is we violate our own faith, to protect others. Then as we age and the world revolves, other wars come and go and each Veteran then asks themselves, would we do it again, and reject our moral and religious beliefs and kill again? When the answer is Yes, our biggest problem arises. We understand, we gave up Heaven when we volunteered for Hell. May God forgive all who went to war.

I served 18 months in Vietnam. On Flag Day 1968, I was one of five out of ten who survived a sixteen-hour battle. The National Liberation Front [Viet Cong] had decided they would make an example of the Vietnamese villagers who had decided to cooperate with the Americans, We kept our word and kept them safe. We found 50 dead Cong at the close of the battler. This was a transformational experience.

1973, in uniform, no stripes yet, in a bus station in California (my home state) - I was spit at and called a "baby killer." I never served in-country, nor did my older brother (USA) or my older cousin (USAF); all of us "Vietnam Era" Veterans. But I was proud to serve along with them, our fathers (Korea & WWII) and our grandfather (WWI) as well as my son (USA, Iraq). I make an effort to say, "Welcome Home" when I see a Vietnam Veteran ball cap. We (the people of the United States) can never undo how our Vietnam Vets were treated. All we can do now is pay our long-overdue respects. I meet currently serving troops of all branches frequently at our nearby National Cemetery and I thank them for serving during the current administration - probably the LEAST competent administration for Military issues. Scarily incompetent. May God bless ALL who are serving or who have served - and above all, those who gave all as well as their families.

With respect to your seniority. Which Gods blessing? Ares? Horus? Mars? Chiyou? Thánh Gióng? In August 1964, the U.S. entered the Vietnam War based on reports of an unprovoked attack in the Gulf of Tonkin - which the president knew were false. This is confirmed to have been a false flag not long ago. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. This is fact. Cold. Hard. Fact. "We (the people of the United States) can never undo how our Vietnam Vets were treated." Really?? What about the Vietnamese people? Jesus f Christ. Your govenment should've taken care of those who got home traumatized and broken yes. Maybe if you guys stopped glorifying "serving the country" the never ending wars would have stopped decades ago. Getting spit on by your fellow countrymen should've been a giant wake up call you might be on the wrong side. Your government sends the fighting spirited men to die overseas so the rich cowardly oligarchy class can keep total control over your "free" country. The american dream was and is a global nightmare.

Sometimes our leadership really sucks. I lived next door to a guy who was part of President Kennedy's 1960's program that tested security on our Strategic Air Command bases. After JFK was assassinated the program was targeted by some Generals who were embarrassed by security failures that the program uncovered. My neighbor told me that the government had been making his life miserable for quite a while. He was kicked out of the Army and had lost several good jobs over the years because of it. This was in 1988. One day he called me and told me to look out my front window where I saw two identical cars in front of his house. He told me to watch what happens when he comes out and writes the license numbers down. The cars pulled up next to each other for a short conversation and then as they drove off I saw that they both had US Government plates.

To all the Veterans here I want to thank you for your service and sacrifices. I am the daughter of a Vietnam Vet ( He fought that war until the day he died in 2019. ) and I joined in the late 80's because I was so proud to be his daughter. Love to all.

[@CaveTroll-hp4vf]

My condolences to Uncle Dan, and my gratitude for his service, but I gave your post a thumbs down. I have come across this claim of being 16 yrs old and in Vietnam, but in 1969,you had to be 17 to join any branch of service,nd 18 to be deployed to a combat zone or hazardous duty assignment. That is law and irrefutable. Now there has been an occasional occurrences when someone pretended to be a brother or cousin and take an older persons place, who was being drafted, but that was mostly done away with after WWII and Korea. After joining a branch of military at 17, you still had to complete a minimum of 16 weeks training and then given a leave. * weeks of basic and a minimum of 8 weeks of AIT, Advanced Individual Training, before you could be deployed anywhere. I don't doubt uncle Dan was the youngest casualty, I just have ambiguities about him being 15. Sorry, I just don't believe it.

Thank you all for your service from the bottom of my heart! I knew many who served in Nam. I protested against the war while in college. I am now 73 and remain appalled at how our country treats it’s veterans.

[@CaveTroll-hp4vf]

I'm a Vet from Vietnam and even though some anti-war demonstrators were abusive, I feel the people who argue against having war are the only ones making sense. War is an unreasonable solution to an unsolvable problem. One of my greatest heroes from that era was Mohammed Ali. I look upon him as one of the most courageous Americans from that time. He refused to serve, but he refused to run or hide either. He gave up his career at its pinnacle, and went to jail voluntarily, as those were the only two options afforded him. He was a fighter for certain, but he was not a killer, and he knew it and said so. He had no reason to go Kill Vietnamese and said he would not violate his beliefs. It's not that we couldn't have used his help, but he showed so much courage in his stance, that I applauded his decision and will always have the highest regard for his anti-war stance, and his fortitude.

[@stevencooke6451]

[@Fuzzy-_-Logic]

My father avoided the draft when he was a young man in college as well. I never disliked him for it but felt embarrased and never spoke of it. As I am no longer a young man I see why he wanted to avoid the draft. Good job dad; you took care of your family. He...well knocked my mother up in school with me; the first of a small brood. 😉

[@NoOne-bp2jw]

@@Fuzzy-_-Logic I respect the draft-avoidees, the young men who were drafted and served, the ones that served voluntarily and those who protested. The only ones I don't respect are the politicians who were so willing to give our young men's lives for an unwanted, unwinnable war. And double scorn for those that kept their own sons from serving or those who avoided serving themselves but later became supportive politicians. Dan Quayle and George W. Bush: I'm looking at you.

[@joycewilson4939]

Yes, I do believe in reincarnation. In one previous life, I was an Indian woman who was mauled to death by a bear. In another life, I was a Jewish man in Dachau. People who die violently often are reincarnated because of the unresolved trauma.

[@Expatriate1977]

@@joycewilson4939 it sounds right to me. It’s like a second chance because life before was brutal. There been times when I felt deeply sad as a little kid for no reason and felt something more spiritual guided it. I think it was knowing the life I had before was over and I had to start at the beginning with strangers in a way. I don’t remember anyone from my past lives. I just remember the impact that music of this time period has on me. It was part of my past life and this one. Sometimes still feels like the 1960s but the people have changed and everything looks different.

I was just a little teenage hippie chick hanging out at Southern California beaches. I didn't know anyone in the service. The draft ended before I was 18. My dad was a 17 year old marine in WWII. He fought in Japan. He was a very patriotic man and my hero. Now I'm 69 and fear for the remaining freedoms we may soon lose. I hope to be gone before it gets too tragic. My life was the American Dream. I don't want to end it living under communist regime.
