In this episode: After early domination through Operation Thunder, three years of B52 raids, napalm and Agent Orange drops, in 1968 the Vietcong Tet Offensive turned the tide, the TV war began in full, anti-war demos, the Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy assassinations and My Lai massacre. The war was now being shown on the nightly news for the first time. Over half a million US troops are deployed.

The Tet Offensive did NOT "turn the tide". The American people wanted "peace with honor"...and they stated that with their overwhelming vote for Richard Nixon, in 1972...4 years after the Tet Offensive saw the Vietcong CRUSHED. The "peace at any price" candidate, George McGovern was solidly beaten by Nixon. That "American people had had enough of Vietnam" was a lie perpetrated by the Democratic Congress to justify their betrayal of the MILLIONS of American Veterans who fought there as well as the 10's of Millions of South Vietnamese who trusted the USA to live up to its agreement to defend South Vietnam against the Communist powers of the Soviet Union, Red China and Communist North Vietnam.

I lost my father in Vietnam. I recently spent a month in Vietnam touring the areas where my fathers unit operated. I went there fully expecting to be met with animosity, fear, and mistrust. I was met with the exact opposite. The people I met were very friendly, open, and understanding. In one village I had the chance to meet an NVA officer whose unit fought against my fathers. I did not think that he would agree to speak with me and I was absolutely floored when he not only agreed to the meeting but invited me to stay with his family. I stayed with this gentleman and his family for 3 days talking at length about the war. We still write to each other once a week. I went to find out more about my father and left having made lifelong friends and finding a sort of second family bound not by blood but by war, well I guess in a way bound by blood also.

I believe what you are saying sir is ?? Eventually Capitalism was going to be difficult to survive without. The age of social media, the need for products made from Vietnam. It makes sense to eventually believe that Nation can run with its deep cultural identity. But also embrace slowly but surely a full Democratic Republic. The benefits can be enormous for any Man and Woman who if willing can live a successful existence. However as the Western Hemisphere has blindly and now pretty much embraced its self into an election that is saying is between Freedom of Speech and the fight against powerful billionaires and desire to change the constitution that currently gives us the life you are enjoying at it’s beginning but it’s cool. But in my opinion sadly it’s going to go bust as if you truly look around at the War in Ukraine and Russia being funded by NATO, the USA And 80% of the Western World. With ISREAL and IRAN ON THE CUSPS OF All out Middle Eastern War. Wich will put Natural Resources in a United States almost BROKE. ??? ANYWAYS I could go on … But either way. The US upcoming elections won’t determine the outcome. WAR…. Best of Luck my Vietnamese Friend. 🇦🇺✌️☮️☢️☣️🙏🇻🇳❤️✌️.

My father never talked about his time in Korea or Viet Nam, but as a child of a combat veteran I will tell you that no matter what side you’re on, war is hell, and the repercussions echo on throughout generations of people involved. My father taught me to look people in the eye and judge them by how they treated others. No war has ever been fought for altruistic reasons, ever.

I'm a Vietnam vet and was there in 1969 and it was so very, very obvious we had no idea what we were doing as we were outthought and out maneuvered and outfought every day. When we finally learn that LBJ & Nixon and McNamara and Westmoreland were all deceitful liars, it is rather disheartening. I named my son after my flight school buddy who came back in a box and he would now be 72, but died when he was 20! What a bummer! Best of luck to all of us!

I was 17 years old when I got to Vietnam-1966 through 1969 (My mom had to sign a waiver for me), I grew up fast and learned a lot, good and bad. (I am now 73 and still learning). I was stationed on the USS Providence and also stationed in Country at a place called "Monkey Mountain" close to DaNang,. I spent 3 tours of duty in and around Vietnam. 3 of my high school friends were killed in Vietnam, I was spared. I participated in the TET Offensive in Feb 1968, that was bad. Somewhere along the way I was exposed to Agent Orange (Nasty Stuff) I am now on disability for the effects of agent orange. When I was discharged and came home to the States we arrived in San Francisco, and there were a lot of protesters spitting on us and throwing rocks and eggs and called us baby killers. That was our welcome home. I tell you this to say to you, that whatever your position is or was on the Vietnam war, it was not the veteran who got us into the war, most of us went because we were patriots and loved our country. Blame the politicians, yes, but not the veteran. To all Vietnam Vets out there, you are not forgotten. As a previous combat Vet myself, I salute you my friend.

I have a lot of respect for the Vietnamese. They fought China for a thousand years, drove back three Mongol invasions, fought Japan, France and eventually us. I believe they were the most determied enemy an American soldier has ever faced. That said there was a bit more to it than "a rusty AK, half dozen bullets, rubber sandals, and a pocket full of rice". Try Soviet built SAM Missiles, radar guided ant aircraft guns and Chines SKSs. The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) was a well equipped, well trained, disciplined, and highly motivated professional fighting force. True you had the "fighter by night farmer by day" but you also had a well supplied fighting force in the field.

LBJ was no WW2 Navy veteran. He was a congressman who coerced the Navy into giving him a commission. He then went to the South Pacific on a fact finding tour to visit Texans in the war. He flew on a observation flight to a few islands and called it a combat mission. He was in the war zone for about 30 days. He then went back to Washington and never put on his uniform again.

Example of Pham Xuan An or Ba Quoc, they are one of the most important factor of the war between Vietnam and America. They sends information that are really valuable and saved many people. Like the special war tactic developed by 2 genius brains of America, An was able to solve it and gave the solution to the North.

The Communists were masters of deceit and lies in South Vietnam. They never once used the word Communist in South Vietnam. They used front groups like the Farmers Association, The National Liberation Front The women's association in the countryside. The bait in the trap in the countryside was the offer of free land to the peasants, which the Vietcong had taken off the landlords. There is a chapter called A Village Goes Wrong in the book The Last Confucian It is written by Denis Warner. It shows how the Vietcong were able to subvert a village in Vietnam. It is based on a captured Vietcong document. The Vietcong could not tell the peasants the truth that they believed in the abolition of private property, the abolition of all religion, and that would set up a Communist goverment in South Vietnam. The Communists in South Vietnam learnt much of strategy and tactics of how to subvert the countryside from the Chynese Communists.

Here’s a fact that is constantly missed: we were highly and specifically trained for Vietnam by Drill Sergeants with at least two tours under their belts. It’s when we landed in Vietnam, our orders were restricted from performing our honed skills to fight against ‘Hostile Forces’. At times we knew we where sitting ducks and expendable. And then, they wonder why many of us came home angry and felt used as soon as we left Vietnam’s airspace. Happy for leaving and guilty for leaving our ‘Brothers’ behind, at the same time. Unless your were there, you have no idea, why we our still haunted 50 years after ‘coming home’.

funny thing about history. 2 people can see the same event very differently, and that doesn't mean one is lying. As they say, history is for the winners. For example, if the Taliban and ISIS etc. succeed in forming a caliphate that lasts for centuries, their history will remember 911 as a glorious first strike that triggered the war that gave them the impetus to take over their lands from Western imperialists. If they fail in their mission and the West continues to control the narrative, 911 will be remembered by western history as a cowardly stab in the back attack perpetrated by foreign criminals.

I am a Vietnamese was born 1988, my parents and grandparents served the South gov, the war in Vietnam was crazy that we even dont understand why we against each other in a family. My grandpa was from Hanoi, He joined the war for the South, his younger brother joined the NVA. That was suck, we were being used by the American, Chinese, and Soviet Union

So you must have known that in the last 12 days and nights of 1972, when the US bombed Hanoi and North Vietnam, 81 planes were shot down, including 32 B52s and 5 F.111s? Because of this, the giant US war machine knew that the Vietnamese people could not be subdued and the US Government had to agree to continue sitting at the negotiating table to sign the Paris Agreement on Vietnam January 27/01/1973, ended the war and restored peace in Vietnam

Not so! The "valiant" Vietnamese people (meaning the NORTH Vietnamese people) knew the "jig was up" when the American B-52's began leveling their capital. During the last 3 days their anti-aircraft missile capability was all but depleted. American B-52's flew missions over Hanoi with very little opposition. Nixon COULD have continued bombing and the leveling of the city but the North Vietnamese government submitted and agreed to return to the peace table. NOT "the other way around".

It's sad to realize we learned nothing from this war. Sometimes I think the founding fathers were right to say we should never have a standing army. I get that there have been select occasions where we were lucky to have the time needed to modernize and train our forces to act when it was actually necessary, but those occasions were rare. We have become the bullies we fought against in our revolution.
