I had a old neighbor that was a chill cool dude, but had severe trauma from Vietnam. He was an alcoholic and drank straight vodka for breakfast. When he would get buzzed or drunk he'd start to cry and everytime he'd cry saying how his men died and he sas his men dead and that the Vietcong would chop off some of his mens heads and place them on a tall sharpened end of stick or branch that they placed sticking out of the ground. That man has passed away now but he never got over it. Not that i ever expected him too. He was a good friend. We'd sit in his backyard and smoke cigarettes and listen to old 60s and 70s music. I wish he couldve had a better life. Rest in peace John!!!

@@atheist101 I dont have any pity for the troops, they CHOSE to become a soldier. They CHOSE to become a paid murderer. Dunno man, for me this argumentation makes no sense. Killing people has nothing to do with "bravery" I mean, I get that a world without military is not something that could work probably and definitely not something that would happen. But how those people are celebrated and how people thank them for murdering other people is just wrong.

I remember hearing stories that field medics would have to fight off venomous snakes, spiders, insects crawling over the wounded, but the worst story I was told was a field medic having just patched up a soldier who received a bad shoulder/arm wound in a mortar hole. After jumping to another mortar hole he looked up to check on the person he just fixed. And the person was being dragged by a tiger through the jungle, needless to say in the middle of mortar fire and bullet fire in every direction and no one to call for support. The man who got dragged off didn’t get rescued.. war is hell

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Having known many ex-servicemen both family and friends, I've found the ones who tell the most stories were usually the ones who didn't really see much actual action. The one's that didn't " including my grandfather and great uncle who both had numerous medals" were unassuming and reluctant to speak about it. Sadly a lot of our history is told by people who weren't directly involved in it and many of those " Stories" Appear as Written fact by lesser hero's, many of the real stories are taken by ex-servicemen to their graves

[@ianpeterson9189]

Adrina The Great yeah my great grandfather was in the motorpool in Korea. He’s still up and kicking but I don’t see him to much. I’m pretty sure he was at Chopin, which was a pretty bad battle. My grandmother told me some things he told her about mechanics he did, but he fought, and that’s the biggest part I’m sure he’s never spoken on if at all. I’m sure there’s a lot more that is interesting and could be good to hear before he’s gone, but I’m pretty sure I’ll never hear it.

[@JohnSmith-dq4dx]

I've noticed that too. All my friend said was "I'll never complain about the temperature being hot again"

My mom and I have been pretty curious about his days in the war and we want to learn more besides the occasional funny story he doesn't mind telling every now and then. But I don't want to push him too far, as I respect his boundaries,

This combat makes the combat in Iraq and Afghanistan look like child's play. Not taking away what today's soldiers are doing but the Vietnam war was close combat and very scary. Many soldiers still missing. There are soldiers remains still out there in the fields and jungles and nobody looks for them. I suppose there are too many mines and booby traps that would be still lethal today for anyone to take the risk. I know in Vietnam limbs are still being lost and deaths caused because of unexploded ordinance..

In 1970, the Army had 65,643 deserters, or roughly the equivalent of four infantry divisions. This desertion rate (52.3 soldiers per thousand) was well over twice the peak rate for Korea (22.5 per thousand). It was more than quadruple the 1966 desertion-rate (14.7 per thousand). WWII peak was 63 per thousand, which, incidentally, occurred in the same year (1945) when more soldiers were actually being discharged from the Army for psychoneurosis than were drafted.

The most pointless war in all of history. What's waste of human life on both sides.

[@majormomo7401]

Have you ever heard of this thing called: World War I in Europe. 100% pointless. No gains, and just caused the other conflict, which was technically just as useless, and caused by the first one.

[@what_have_you_done]

Major Momo The second world war was not useless. The Nazis took over most of europe and were commiting mass genocide. They had to be stopped.

[@robertcuminale1212]

Almost every war fought in Europe was over who was going to be king starting with Rollo, the king of the Normans who took France from the Franks. That's around 850CE.

[@what_have_you_done]

@Doppler Then he said that WW2 was useless as well.

[@NmaM-it5yk]

Vietnam was not useless because we should have kept the communists out of south Vietnam just like we did with South Korea and look at South Korea today under a free market. That is where Samsung came from for example. Had North Korea taken over it would have been lost and poor all these years. So in Vietnam we only lost for think two major factors, the media coverage showing the people back home the brutality of war and making America look bad. Plus, the politicians back home not staying out of it and letting generals win it for us.

[@mitchrogers976]

My grandfather was drafted in 1967 in Nashville, Tennessee. Anyone knows what boot camp he would have went to? Trying to find as much information as I can about him, he passed away in 2009 and didn’t talk about the war with me much. I do recall stories of him telling us about being behind the “big guns with huge shells” I am assuming some form of Howitzer? What was the life of a Howitzer gunner like? His grave states he was an SP4. I recall him telling me stories of living on base in Seattle, I can’t remember if it was before or after the war. I wish I had tried to speak to him about this more before he passed

Despite the uber overplayed KZbin comment of 'the cameraman always survives' he doesn't.

[@gjc82071]

You're right about 'Nam. The terms of engagement were severely limited to the point of making victory practically unobtainable. For example: during WW2, imagine if Germany was limited to fighting France only up to the French border or something like that. 'Nam was a "war"/armed conflict by definition, but a very limited 1. In Gulf War 1, the coalition wasn't allowed to take Baghdad. In Gulf War 2, they were. If allowed, the USA could have taken Hanoi & or every major city in in N. Vietnam

[@tuanz8009]

This war wasn’t about North Vietnam vs USA. But rather China/USSR vs USA. The weapons that the NVA/VC were using were giving by the 2 communist powerhouse. without their aid North Vietnam would be gone or maybe South Vietnam is still exist today.

[@cookeandrew2987]

I doubt it ....they lost the hearts and minds of the local population ....doesn't matter how many bombs dropped .....the Vietnamese became increasingly resilient and wouldn't have been defeated. The first thing the US did was install an unpopular and corrupt president in the south ....then proceeded to burn villages and kill thousands of innocent civilians . It was a long pointless war .....

[@JustinMeier-v5i]

Bcuz they were afraid of China jumping in, like during Korea. So it was limited , to avoid fighting China troops as well as nva/vc. Was a quagmire in se Asia.
