being a vietnamese myself, with both my grandfathers and father served in the NVA ,I actually study alot of American-made docs bout the war, seeing it from their side, and I deeply respect ALL the men that fought in the war , NVA or USA, all very brave men doing what they had to. War is ugly , and there were atrocities coming from both sides. Frankly speaking , the future is always uncertain and there would have been no way to predict wetherif left alone in 46 ,vietnam would have been the next China economically speaking , or if it would have been the next South Korea if the US did succeed , but right now , it is fairing very well and actually , much of population ( who were born after the war , and who are very young ) have very favourable views of the US despite of what had happened in the past ( ironically ,our former so-called "ally" and long time adversary China is increasingly becoming a very very annoying thorn). We dont forget the war , but we do forgive , and I believe that it is much better to build on that relationship and pay respect to all the fighting men rather than arguing about who won or who lost, or who is the good guy and who's the bad guy.

It's very interesting what Ho Chi Minh said describing what he foresaw the war between our two nations would be like; "The war between the U.S. and Vietnam will be like the clash of the elephant and the tiger. In the open the elephant would crush the tiger easily. But in the jungle the tiger can hide and every once in a while lash out tearing chuncks off the elephant's flesh and the elephant will slowly bleed to death". History shows Ho Chi Minh to be correct.
@badguy55542 жыл бұрын
Ho Chi Minh was WRONG! The American military was NEVER "bled to death". It CRUSHED the Vietcong, during their Tet Offensive, such that it was no longer a threat after that time. AND....When the North sent their Army into South Vietnam, in 1972, that invasion force was also CRUSHED by American B-52's. Even the capital of North Vietnam was so damaged by B-52 strikes during Christmas bombing ,of 1972, the North's government was FORCED to cede for peace at the Paris Peace talks in early 1973. SO.........The North LOST the Vietnam War at the signing of that peace treaty. The ONLY way the North could over run the South was two years LATER, after the American Military had been pulled out of South Vietnam. And they did that ONLY with the help of the treasonous American (Democratic) Congress who aided and abetted their defeat and murder of many South Vietnamese by refusing to fund another B-52 bombing mission against the North's invading hoards AND by cutting all military support for the South Vietnamese Army DURING that invasion. The Vietnam conflict was NOT lost by anything the military did or did not do in Vietnam. It was lost by the support the American Congress gave to the North.

Vietnam was the most pointless war the USA ever fought. Even if we pretend we were trying to stop the spread of communism, we weren't allowed to do the right things to win the war. So all we did was send hundreds of thousands of men into a meat grinder for no reason at all. And we drafted a lot of them to make it even worse. It's one thing if you're fighting a pointless war you aren't allowed to win, that's bad enough but even worse that you didn't even chose to be a soldier. And then, as if it couldn't get any worse, when they got home the civilian population turned on them and treated them badly. You can point to some of the war on terror stuff and say it was pointless but at least the public was smart enough to avoid blaming soldiers for the decisions of politicians. And at least those soldiers all chose to be in the military. Vietnam had it all, bad mission, bad focus, handicapped plans, horrible soldier conditions, lack of public support and misguided public anger.

I met two Vietnam veterans. They both were stirred about what they saw in Vietnam. One was a sniper who was watching enemy forces move in and out of an area looking to kill a high ranking officer. While laying down take a snack break, he just so happened to see a glint far off in the distance, he looked through his scope and looked right at the glint, except it wasn't a glint, it was an enemy sniper aiming back at him. The other veteran was part of a tank crew who stopped in a village, he turned out and saw children wanting food and candy, he started throwing it out, he then saw a young girl behind the group of children by herself, and he had ran out of food so he ducked back in to grab some of his own rations for her. When he raised back up the rest of the kids were gone and she was throwing something. It was a grenade, it clinked against the tank and landed on the ground, he ducked and it exploded. When he raised back up she was gone, more or less she was anyways. Let's just say he didn't expect his tank to get a red paint-job....

They interviewed this former VC Guerrilla female Fighter, who had been a teenage girl combatant against the Americans. She described how better the chances to survive a combat situation if your VC platoon was able to isolate each and every one of those Marine units and force them into a hand-to-hand combat situation. She described the U.S. Marines that she killed in hand-to-hand combat as "sluggish, fat, and slow". She said, that, without their artillery and air support, they were like "fish out of water". This is from a VC teenage girl at the time. Talk about a determined enemy...

I totally agree except those who disrespected our warfighters, most of whom were drafted and served and others who enlisted because of family history. Either way it was one thing to be against that conflict or any before or since and another to treat those who serve with anothing less than appreciation and respect. Our government decides who and where we send our finest to wage war against. Our warfights go where sent, do what is asked of them. What if instead of going , someone came. How many would expect our warfighters to defend us on our home soil heaven forbid it come to that and it very well could have come to that if our brave warfighters weren t willing to stop our enemies or those who would become such if ignored. I saw once at the end of Vietnam a plane full of homesick solders landed in California and to a man kissed the ground upon disembarking their plane on the tarmack. After getting thru the airport one solder, a little behind the rest saw the others being harrased, disrespected and called names my mouth nor fingers will repeat. He turned and entered the restroom where he took his uniform off and put on civilian clothes. I m not ashamed to say I cried learning of this. This brave warfighter finally was home, and should have been able to proudly wear his uniform and be treated with the respect and appreciation that all of our military personal, men and women desearve. I hope that never happens again. If ya can t at least say thanks for searving, don t say anything. God bless all our warfighters past and present. Thank you for your protection and service. To all who served in Vietnam , a late but heartfelt welcome home.

Lying in the bushes right next to your feet or holding a sniper rifle on a rock or you camp overnight and he touches your body, it's psychological insecurity when you're afraid of being attacked. kill anytime. We Vietnamese soldiers understand that and don't want that to happen we are protecting our family and country so we know your loved ones are heartbroken when you have trouble but war too fierce to force us to fight to regain our independence.

The NVA regular army in the north and the VC guerillas in the south fought well, they were up against a superpower with vast resources, huge numbers of troops, massive numbers of bombers, fighters, helicopters, artillery, chemical and biological weapons, offshore aircraft carriers and amphibious assault vessels and cruisers, destroyers and other naval vessels, etc. Regardless of your own views about the US involvement in South East Asia most people would have to give the NVA and the VC the credit that they are due.

Hadji paid attention very much in Iraq.Booby Traps were first conceived by the Germans and Japanese in mid-WWII as they did a tactical withdrawal in Italy and the Pacific in 1943 to delay Allied troops.The expertise of the enemy combat engineers were crucial in giving their side time to withdraw or be in an advantageous position to fight from.Hadji took this lesson and applied it in Iraq by using the same methods either in ambush against a larger force or delaying them.This is classic in guerilla warfare in conserving your unit's strength and demoralizing your enemy.Deception,feints,and outright trickery can improve your chances of survival against a superior enemy in numbers and weapons.Employment of the mind is the primary weapon against any enemy either you found a way to overcome their TTPs (Training,Tactics,Practices).All human beings apply this to their daily lives within their own conflicts of daily life besides war...

I had an idea and brought it to the commanding officer why don't they put that same kind of rubber on the bottom of the jungle boots..The NVA they've been fighting this war forever and when you play in their backyard you have to think like them..My Idea I guess it went in one ear and out the other it never happened..What I did I found a pair of sandals cut them up so they would fit inside my jungle boot this way if I ever accidentally stepped on a booby trap the punji sticks it will never penetrate into my boots or boot.. I told a lot of my friends they said they tried it but having that inside your boot hurt their feet so they would take it out.. everytime I see that picture with the boot and the booby trap going through it I keep thinking of my idea..Oh well..🍻🇺🇸🍻

Very cool documentary! I have the HIGHEST regards for Viet Nam vets! No war is pretty..but, that war was especially terrifying. Bungie sticks and V.C. toothpicks! Whoa! I'm glad I was to young to go. I remember getting the nightly reports from Walter Kronkite on CBS, every night at dinner. Unlike today, some of those reports were days, even weeks old. 'Live' television was in its infancy. There were occasional live reports..but, not very often. Also, this was the first war that brought the horrors right into your living room! Nixon was in office at that time. I was born in '67 so I don't really remember Johnson..but, I remember the war itself. Wjenever I watch something like 'Platoon' or 'Hamburger Hill', I think of how frightening it must have been for these guys. Thousands of miles from home, in the heat of the jungle..with an enemy you can't see! That's the worst kind of enemy. That's how we won the Revolutionary war. Guerrilla warfare. Plain and simple..and, then they used the same tactics against us! I truly respect the vets that fought in this war! I respect ALL vets. Don't get me wrong. I just hold a special place in the heart for these guys!

It was to prove superiority over the soviet doctrine of communism. Had we just waited 20 yrs, the commies collapsed on their own all the same. Russia losing badly in Afghanistan really hurt their image but we had already had to throw in the towel in the Korean war, losing Vietnam was detrimental in the eyes of our allies and the nations that were on the fence between Russia and the United States.
