I watched this Man speak. I was in awe listening to Gen Livingston and his description of the battle. Truly a Commander who lead by example. The way he said to leave him behind and he would cover his men's retreat. That truly made me choke up with emotion. Yet his Marines pulled him to safety. Truly such a great man Gen Livingston. Thank you Colin for bringing such great content to the channel. Also thank you Colin for your service as a Sniper in the Marines.

It's so great to hear this story. He was always very humble when I worked for him and never discussed his Vietnam stories with us. It was an honor to have served under him.

In April of 75, 4th platoon, D Co., 3rd Amtracs, USMC were preparing for a "float" to the Philippines for manuevers. It was rumored that 4th platoon was chosen because we supposedly had the best platoon commander. We were getting vacinations (including Plague 1 and Plague 2) and classes on what to do and not to do when on leave there. Then Saigon fell in a storm and our cruise was cancelled because the Navy "was holding everything while watching Saigon". Then in May, Marines training in Thailand were thrown into some wore out USAF CH-53 helicopters and they were sent into Koh Tang Island Cambodia in search of the Mayaquez sailors being held hostage by the Kmer Rouge. The sailors were'nt there and a lot of Marines and AF air crew paid with their lives in this effort (the so-called final battle of Vietnam). I would like to know if 4th platoon was part of the plans of the Koh Tang landing and why we were not allowed to continue. It would have given a very strong element to the assault and possibly prevented some of the losses. I wish I could ask General Livinsgston this question. Certainly he would have known. I may never know the answer and have always regretted that we were not sent. Even if uplanned we would have been a short sail away from Koh Tang from the PI's. Cambodia at that time would have been a good reason to vax against the plague. Semper Fi to all before and all who come after.

21:35 Eu sei que você fez questão de justificar que a Medalhas de honras foram lhe dada por fazer o seu trabalho e eu acrescento que foi feito com dedicação, amor e compromisso. O motivo da juventude não gostar dessas medalhas não são por causa do Senhor, mas por causa dos mais novos que buscam a mesma medalha e matam e machucam as pessoas como se o cemitério fosse um pedestal. Aí a juventude tenta conversar com um oficial "novo" e eles falam "eu amei ter matado.". É sempre que se fala em Militar nós associamos a pessoas que querem as medalhas pelos motivos errados. Um exemplo é o capitão Nascimento. Ele não existe é um personagem De uma história em quadrinhos. Os garotos mais novos que querem entrar na carreira militar hoje em dia querem ser que nem ele. Mas ele não existe. É um filme para alertar sobre corrupção, mas as pessoas só olham para o capitão Nascimento. Obrigado por compartilhar suas histórias. E uma dúvida eu posso ouvir essa história .?

No meio país é travada uma guerra diariamente. Eu gostei de uma história que ouvi quando o pneu do meu carro furou e parei pra conversar com os garotos da oficina. Um dos garotos contou que ele estava bêbado e foi conversar com o delegado na delegacia. Os policiais queriam afastar o garoto de lá, mas o delegado mandou eles deixarem o garoto falar com ele. Ele estava buscando respostas porque ele morava numa favela e foi atacado por policiais. O delegado começou a e explicar a ele que ele não pode mudar o comportamento dos policiais e começou a explicar o que aconteceu na história do Brasil. O garoto saiu satisfeito. E quais são os novos "Delegados"... exatamente o que eu disse capitães Nascimento. Quando eu caí na lei seca, essa foi a segunda vez que eu fui pego no delito de ter dirigido embriagado. O delegadinho me prendeu numa cela enquanto tudo l que eu tinha que fazer era pagar a fiança. E ele fez isso pra mostrar que tem poder. Aí éu te pergunto onde isso vai parar ? O povo vai ficar com raiva dos policiais. E do outro lado temos uma porção de pessoas que vivem na favela que falam "Eu tenho orgulho de ser favela". Onde isso vai parar ? Com os policiais odiando eles. E o que os FUNK fazem? Falam que os policiais não prestam é colocam Homem contra Homem. Man to man It is so injust Children.

Being a Marine who served directly under General Livingston myself in Hawaii back in the early 90's I can tell you that he NEVER asked any enlisted or officer to do something that he wouldn't do himself no matter what the task was.

There's always at least one 💩 out there spouting off about things that they haven't a clue of! Dain...here's your sign!

Believe it or not but there are things called Infanty Officers... Commissioned officers who are on the battle field in the dirt with the enlisted.

The men in combat and the officers in combat which lead them. Should be proud. I am proud of you all. It was the officers that never saw combat and the useless politicians that lost the war.
