America's sacrifice for the survival of democracy has caused many glories and shame. God bless the lost heroes.

Thanks to Soviet air defense systems, Vietnam successfully dealt with 9 thousand U.S. aircraft. The Vietnamese press reported that due to the presence of Soviet air defense systems in the country, the United States lost a huge number of combat aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles. A significant number of the latter were shot down by means of combat aircraft of Vietnam, and, apparently, Soviet pilots also made a significant contribution to this. "Few people remember that about half a century ago, in the devastating war with the US Air Force in North Vietnam, the Pentagon used thousands of UAV sorties and new types of aircraft. According to recently declassified US data, during the Vietnam War, the US Air Force lost 9,929 aircraft due to fire damage from the ground, including 3,744 aircraft due to "technical failures", of which 5,607 helicopters of all types, as well as 578 UAVs (UAVs fell mainly in the north of Vietnam). Previously known figures were much lower, and these were the highest losses of the US army in all the wars in which they participated after World War II," the Vietnamese newspaper Soha reports. We are really talking about the largest losses in the ranks of the US Air Force, moreover, at the time of the outbreak of the armed conflict, the US military was armed much better than the Vietnamese army, but thanks to Soviet air defense, even massive attacks were repelled long before American pilots could strike.

Who the hell says u-saff? Honestly the first time I've heard it pronounced as a word in an official manner.

[@theborg6024]

this WAS almost 60 years ago

[@jamielacourse7578]

You expect accuracy on KZbin? You new at this?

[@patriot692]

I'm glad that we don't say "you-saff" nowadays.

Well, that worked so good. We can now vacation in a communist Vietnam and visit communist war museums. Agent Orange. What a beautiful idea that was. Spray the jungle beside the river, then drink from the river. Oh, my liver has become one large tumor.

The war can last for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years or longer, Hanoi, Hai Phong and some cities and factories may be destroyed, but the Vietnamese people are determined not to be afraid! Nothing is more precious than independence and freedom. On the day of victory, our people will rebuild our country in a more dignified, bigger and beautiful way. Dear author President Ho Chi Minh

[@luistaurus7036]

Freedom? In a comunist country?! 🤔

[@exposedbrainfilms7897]

i respect the man’s resolve, but despise his ideology, and the atrocities he committed along the way.

[@patriot692]

I'm. . . too. 🧐😄

[@huu-banvu6904]

I always and only believe in my own lies which I have fabricated for others. They become my truth and I love it! I call it propaganda ...

[@GeistInTheMachine]

What a great use of American lives and dollars.

Invitation by the French, troubles managing their Empire and subjugated peons. To save France, Americans first landed in north African French Morocco and Libya full of French Nazi Vichy. To rescue France Americans first had to fight Frenchies in North Africa. After coming to their defense in WW1, WW2, and Vietnam, I think it's time to let the French munch baguettes, nibble cheese, and sip wine while sorting out their own bag of troubles. Next time the Nazis and the Muslims can keep them.

America had advanced weapons, and they lost to a bunch of guys armed with AKs.

[@TheJessecarpenter]

The Crusading Swordsman [Ego Christus Miles Sum] you was far from winning mate. When do you call it time. They could have fought you for 500 years. Just look at the history of it. Fought the French. Japanese. Brits. Then french again. Then the yanks. Then Cambodia right? They would have sucked you dry till the 2000s so you lost and you left end of story.

[@TheJessecarpenter]

Called napalm, superior air superiority, better armed people and maybe nukes if you say 2000's

[@sksteele1235]

Alonzo Aldaba Define "lost." We slaughtered them like animals but gave up on the war for political reasons.
