As a former Frog, I was fortunate to learn from some of the most incredible instructors who operated in Vietnam. What I learned was priceless. Those lessons were forwarded to other Frogs throughout the years. Nam Frogs are a whole different breed.

[@barneyronnie]

Frog? Do you mean UDT/ Seal? What class were you in? What years? Who was your Master Chief? Were you on the east or west coast? Where were you and your teammates stationed? Any 'frog' would know all this stuff, so I'm waiting for answers. I was NOT a Seal, but was involved with Spec Ops in another branch ... however, we worked very closely with our Seal brothers.

My Brother who was 18 months older then I was he enlisted, Enlisting was always the Plan for me But I ended meeting what turned into my wife of 38 years now but I got her a pregnant, her House wasn’t a place I was willing to let my Baby be born into so I didn’t enlist with my Brother as planned but he ended up being getting Hurt Terribly bad, they done a few Surgeries to try to fix his back up but it didn’t work so he was Medically Discharged after 14 years of Service and I believe that Broke his Heart. I went on to Have a 23 Year Career in the Fire Service so I was able to be a part of something Special just not what I had always dreamed of.

The rifle company I worked for in the mountains southwest of Danang found a print shop. In the print shop were flyers offering rewards for the death of 3 people in A company 1st 46th Infantry of the 198th Light Infantry Brigade. I was one, the company commander was another and one of our platoon sergeants was the other. Until recently I had not heard of rewards for dead Americans but I guess it was not all that uncommon. I posted this story on book of faces and some one that read it asked what happened to the print shop. My answer was they had a large explosion followed by a small fire.

I think he's right, the more one learns about geo-politics it becomes apparent that wars transcend basic politics and business (although they play their part). It turns my stomach in a knot thinking about the wars we've had to fight over the last 110 years, the family and friends we've all lost don't seem to be worth it to me.

So tired it hurt, #1 starboard, stopped paddling and was fiddling with his shirt. I heard him say "this tie doesn't go with this shirt". I stopped and looked around to see if anybody heard what he said or was I hearing things??. The LT. looked at him like he was crazy and said " whaaat?". He turned around giggling and said "I don't know". Grabbed his paddle and went back to work. A short time later I thought I saw a wrought iron fence going across the bay. I had a huge struggle with this, I thought how are we going to get our boat over the fence? But I was telling myself you know there's no fence going across the bay!! 32 years ago, I still remember that.

[@VNExperience]

You mean Americans in Vietnam in general? While that may be true, I'd hesitate to question the motivations of those who served. As someone living in Vietnam, I've had the chance to speak to many locals about the war and while everyone agrees that life is better now with the war being in the past, many here in the south look kindly at Americans who helped them protect themselves against the VC. Especially the green berets were well-liked by the locals because of their appreciation of the local culture and languages. Most, however, tried to life a simple life and didn't understand or care about politics. Support for VC was strong too because they were against all foreign forces who they understandably saw as invaders. My mother-in-law was in that group. The war and the draft were costly mistakes and South Vietnam was a corrupt dictatorship, but personal motivations are another thing. It's such a complex issue that I wouldn't go blaming people for volunteering to serve their country. Even here in Vietnam there are still differing viewpoints on the matter.

[@kilacbon4145]

Even in dream, Vietcong would never be able to defeat US army. In terms of military, the US army almost always wins, moreover, in terms of total casualties, they suffered much less damage than the enemy: while the US only has 50,000 dead, the North Vietnam or Vietcong suffered 1-1.5 million soldiers being killed. The USA only failed on the political front; and in terms of politics, they did not lose to the North Vietnam, they only lost on the daily television screens showing gruesome death scenes in Vietnam in front of hundreds of millions of Americans, thereby, that led to anti-war movements in USA. In other words, the United States did not lose to the North Vietnam, they only lost to themselves, which means that they could not continue to prolong the war against the impatience of the masses, the freedom of speech and expression of the masses towards the domestic economic development needs. In Vietnam, we have a famous saying :" Don't listen to what the communists say, but look closely at what the communists do".
