As a Vietnam combat Vet I have to say this was a fascinating video. And the guide was excellent. That all these years later I would be seeing a tour guide showing bombs, shells, weapons, etc. is just too surreal. Really like the Guide. Appreciated that he does not harbor animosity against us, we not against them. Now I wear Nike shoes that say "Made in Vietnam."

[@BL-db6xt]

Have you learnt any of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean languaget. It's really tough. The same goes for a Vietnamese to learn English. This tour guide spent long hrs on end to learn English. Naturally he read or/& watched Hollywood a lot for his English skill & these American spices found their way into his narratives to certain extent. He may also rely on American goodwill for handsome tips. So good narratives are usually a combo of facts & fiction. It's good for entertainment.

[@GachaLord]

@@ScreenHackTV freedom of *speech* , no more no less. After all, Vietnam was never a democracy, not even the old RVN was, it was just anti-communist and thats it If they try anything like that then it counts as potential threats to the government and the unified country. Creating an illegal party/faction against them, AKA classified as traitors. And communist or no, Vietnamese have never been anything but brutal towards traitors(there was a tradition to kill *three generations of the traitor, them, their son, and their parents* ). Yes our government isnt perfect, but they havent made any stupid moves (yet) either, so having the flag of the old RVN instead of a unified communist VietNam isnt something they gonna stand for. And trust me, them getting jailed isnt really that much better than not being jailed cuz if people find out (excluding the old regime supporters which is like one or two percent of the population) that they arent jailed yet then they're gonna get boycotted and to oblivion.

Library of Congress also noted that despites their 3 attempts to invade Vietnam, the most powerful Mongol Empires in the 13th century were bitterly defeated by the Vietnamese. This video tells just a small part of the bloodiest War of the last century, but it truly makes Vietnam's history more intriguing.

@Meldrop A false fact actually. In Resistance against American invasion, well over 58000 US troops KIA and more than 330000 other contain physical wounds, not counted psychological and Dioxin-poisoned ones in. It also costs Americans 7.2 million tons of bombs compared to 2.5 million used by them for the whole World War 2 all over the globe. Numbers speak itself, but here we have another problem: American and their allies have a favourite of multiplying People’s Army of Vietnam plus Liberation Army of South Vietnam’s death toll by factor of 2, 5, 10 or even higher in each battle, which included mostly unarmed civilians by the way. US killing Vietnamese people? Just count it in the “Viet Cong” part and then, boom, problem solved. Also, with little to no naval fleet, a small air force, no strategic nuclear weapons and numerous disadvantages, in the corrected counting after negated those irrelevant forces, SUPRISINGLY, death rate of PAVN and LASV are the same as US Armed Forces. This can be proven through battles where American tactical advantages were unavailable like when we reached as close to them as possible without being detected then opened fire, to force them not using their airstrikes (it will kill themselves too, mutually assured destruction at battle scale); or when our permanent force fired artillery shells aiming American ammunition storage inside their base successfully to set back imbalancement in equipments from their beneficial to a more “neutral” status first, before main tanks-and-AFV-supported attack waves launched; for example.

[@huuduyvu9714]

@Dan Trebune so, 2 most brutal wars in human history, expanded to continents with dozens of nations involved are just 1 and 4 times more destructive than Resistance against American invasion, made it the 3rd largest war mankind have ever seen. Good, so now not any single country on this Earth can say anything about "Vietnam War is not brutal compared to ours".

[@thedozeroperatorman]

I 1st went to Vietnam in 1997. I was deployed to Bosnia in 96, left in December and wound up in Grafenwoehr Germany. Got a passport in Frankfurt and head to Vietnam. I went everywhere. I made a lot of great friends that took me around way off the beaten path. When I went there was no U.S. embassy in HCM, no Americans anywhere. I went to many Villages and was told I was the first white to walk in, and some the first American since the war. Everyone there treated me like a king. Some former Viet Cong found out I was in their village, and that I was not only an American but also an American soldier. They invited me to their homes to eat. I went back several times. I had to bribe the police so I could travel throughout Vietnam 😂. It was worth it. Such a beautiful country with amazing people.

This video gives me the chills. Cu Chi was the headquarters base camp for the 25th infantry and the largest of the 3 they had. I spent 1967-1968 with the 25th as an infantryman in the surrounding trees, bush around Cu Chi and Dau Tieng. We swept 10k a day through the Michelin Rubber tree plantation as well as triple canopy bamboo that was so thick point had to cut paths through. Best day of my life was when I left Viet Nam after my year was up. I was fortunate. 50,000 were not. I was 19 yrs old. As such, could not even see this whole video....

20. *Years.* of digging with improvised tools and moving the soil by handmade basket.... 200km of tunnels connecting countless villages. The Vietnamese could not understand how we as Americans, who's freedom and nation was born of guerilla warfare, could not use that experience to fight the Vietnamese and beat them at their own game. They believed we would continue that practice and tradition and keep that knowledge close to heart and mind when engaging in any warfare as it was essential and life saving before. I love how these people think and fight. It don't matter who came, the Chinese, the Khmer, The Japanese, the French, the Americans and their allies, these people stood up and fought for their independence and stood against all odds and even against seemingly unending and daily combat. 50 years or more of day to day struggle. I'm in awe of these people and their resolve. Deepest respect!

I visited Cu Chi a few years back...it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere but it is an amazing place. Theses people were very tough and brave to put up with living like rats for weeks on end sometimes. I did go down that tunnel they showed and the Claustrophobia was really scary. On a good note..I was allowed to fire an AK-47 on a range and the power and noise was out of this world..I just don't know how they did it...Amazing people..

Thanks for the Video Eugene & Abraham. It was awesome

My Uncle Ellis (Sonny) Burman Jr (A future special effects wizard with his brother, Tom) was a Marine tank patrol leader here early in the war. While leading his group along a road surrounded by jungle, their tank came upon a baby crawling in the middle of the road. Thinking it was a lost casualty of the war, he climbed out of his tank to rescue the baby and was immediately shot in the leg. His crew pulled him back into the tank and they tragically wound up running over the baby. This was a war that only the veterans understand. He had severe PTSD his entire life before he died.

Seems like the Vietnam people knew their lands very well.

[@wowbruh2511]

Uh. Well no shit

[@fordtruckman80]

They knew their land almost as well as Americans know where the fast food restaurants are.

[@trenGhost_]

Because there whole land was jungle and beaches. It was easy for them to navigate. But America is the opposite because we have different land. We have snowy lands, forest, jungle, desert and stuff like that

I've been through those tunnels, very very small, and the ones we went through were made to accommodate westerners. I think we went about 40 meters through and everyone had had enough by then it was way to claustrophobic. Amazing eye opening to see how these people who's homeland was invaded were so resilient

[@Delmarvafishing]

I'm pissed but at the same time these guys are fierce warriors who refused to be defeated by our military. Much respect, I would like to visit one day.

Nice video...I'd love to visit.... and the tour guide is awesome

[@GreencampRhodie]

Great tour guide & video. Very creative people, never to be underestimated. Would've been good to see the actual tunnels & underground bunkers.

[@Jakal-pw8yq]

This was absolutely amazing. And to think this guy was probably VC or NVA any harbors no ill will towards Americans is incredible! It makes me want to go see Vietnam. It looks like an absolutely beautiful country with wonderful people! When will people realize that war is never the answer.

[@peternorth8451]

I've been visiting Vietnam for the last 20 years I've visided the tunnels many times. Here I am now living and working in Vietnam and can I say these people are peace loving. A lot of Americans bleat on about how ruthless the vietnamese people were during the war but for christ sake the Americans invaded these peoples country what did they expect a warm welcome . And what about the atrocities the Americans inflicted on these people Agent orange for instance ,Cluster bombs and a few more .I remember visiting the tunnels on one occasion and an American woman was crying asking for forgiveness I think that speaks volumes

Sorry my freind but I think it was paranoia on the Americans side that communism would spread nothing more .You see why where the French here in the 50s was their motive to stop the spread of communism?

Those traps were meant to injure not kill. It took more time and people to care for an injured men.

[@mattaldrich9056]

+Trapaholic. those traps were designed with every intent to kill. if you didnt die immediately you'd die from uncontrollable bleeding or with some very few soldiers, come home missing with body parts. Guerrilla warfare is meant to kill enemy soldiers. my uncle is a vietnam veteran of the US Army and told me all about those traps. he did three tours and rarely seen those traps "injure" anybody.if you ran into any one of em your chances of survival was below 5%. more than half of our soldiers died as a result of them traps. So dont you dare sit there and type that they were meant to "injure" anybody

[@mattaldrich9056]

We went through hell during that war an our government did nothing to help. Like I said earlier we coulda won that war in less than 6months if we we're station further to the north. But instead they stationed our soldiers in the south. It brought them money and that's all they wanted. They didn't care about the 500000+ men that were killed. They didn't care that they were sending 18yo boys out there as bait for the Vietcong. All They wanted was the money. It was 100% ran by politics. And that's a true fact
