As a Viet Nam veteran I want to say this is great but let us please not forget about our Korean vets 🇺🇸🦅

[@rapperastoned]

War is for idiots n whoever decide to take another man life cuz they from different countries is crazy

[@heirannexedknockin5083]

Yes, and thank you. I believe they call Korea the "forgotten war". God knows how many other forgotten wars there are. It appears that whenever there is not a decisive outcome of victory for the chess players and their history writers, who foment, instigate, manage, and profit off these deadly, lawless, and senseless debacles called war without shedding a drop of their own blood, they walk away and bury the truth as if they have a right to do so. We should all be grateful for and deeply honor our people that return, pray wholeheartedly for the souls that didn't, and hope to God we all gain wisdom from our survivor's experience and actual truth of the matter to never participate again in, nor glorify as Hollywood, political, religious, and Wall street actors do, another game these elites dream up against us on both sides of their chess boards and business ventures, but to force them to go settle the matter themselves. There is much written and exposed about these elites plans, both past, current, and future, that would make a dead man sick, and give us all cause to stop listening to them and giving them any part of our labor and lives. Right now, I'm thinking of the writings and sayings from Marine Major General Smedley Butler, Harry Patch, and others with boots on the ground from WW I era, who know and share that all wars are a business racket from bankers, the Vatican, Commercial and government corporations, their agencies, and brotherhood fraternal societies, and the like. And that from now on, let these mouths be first in the battles they invent while we sit back and watch them, if that. When David Rockefeller was asked of his experience during WWII, he replied, "it was a good war"!!! He wasn't referring to the outcome of who won and who lost, but how much money and money connections he made during those years. That's pathetic and criminal, yet he continued, as others of his ilk do, to live out a luxurious and influential life committing untold other deaths across the earth to further his interests without anyone holding his feet to the fire to atone for his crimes and lies. We see the same thing today with Gates, Fauci, Turner, Buffet, Soros, Sassoon, Bush, Clinton ..., and a whole host of the old guard (Rothschild, Rockefeller, the Royals, Popes ...), with new faces. So, to this end, I hope these videos with our fellow man and heroes that survived these lies, further our knowledge, understanding, and wisdom to stop going to fight for the profits of an oil or other magnate, banker, their back pocket politicians and priests, or other snake-oil salesman. The true history of US, UN, its agencies and controllers is damning. The people need to know and remember the truth and join together in it, and against the lies and the liars.

I so enjoyed the gentlemans testimonial. Especialy the honesty about good n not good aspects to that war. Even though i m Canadian it hurts my heart greatly in regards to mistreatment of those men after returning home. So grievous.

[@topgeardel]

Why are you "grievous"? I am a Vietnam Draft resistor. The US did NOT belong in Vietnam. They were invaders and aggressors of a country and people who never attacked American territory or Americans. It was NOT their fight. It was an Asian civil war. They committed their share of collateral damage to Vietnamese civilians and property. They committed highly publicized massacres made known to the world. And....they even committed atrocities against their own US officers to avoid missions. It was called "fragging"....a form of mutiny. Look it up yourself. If you want to feel sad and grievous...think about all us Draft resistors that faced all kinds of tough decisions b/c of the consequences that could come our way resisting the American Government. That's why a lot of these jokers ended up going to Vietnam...b/c for them it was the lesser of 2 evils.

[@frasercheyne8332]

​@@frasercheyne8332 You bore me. What a jackass comment. Nothing cowardice about standing up to the power of the US Government, possible unemployment, prison and leaving your homeland. A lot of those guys were too afraid to resist their family military history and the things I mentioned. To them, 1 year in Vietnam was the lesser of 2 evils. They were as stupid as hell to conclude that. In fact, they were either ignorant or spineless, or both. Hurtful response? They didn't all conduct themselves as choir boys over there. The only thing they should have cared about is they dodged a bullet from people who they were trying to kill. They were big boys willing to kill. No BooHoo for the babies who couldn't take the heat of the time. Spare me the infantile remarks. You're just another sad clown who drinks the Kool Aid.

Long Live the Republic 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 God Bless America 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TheChiefEng]

In WWI, WWII and the Korean War, the involvement of The United States of America was based on the attack by one foreign power against another power or powers. After WWII, USA was approached by Ho Chi Minh requesting American help to get rid of the French in Vietnam so Vietnam could become independent. This was rejected. When the Vietnamese defeated the French, Vietnam was divided in much the same way as Korea had been divided after WWII. The promise given at the time was that elections would take place after a couple of years for the Vietnamese people to decide their own fate. This promise was broken and thus the foundation of a corrupt regime in South Vietnam and a Communist regime in North Vietnam was created. The conflict was basically inevitable at this point since USA knew that the regime in South Vietnam could not withstand North Vietnam in case of a civil war. USA never understood that China, even at this time, was a greater danger. North Vietnam was supported by The Soviet Union and that was all USA needed to know to engage in a conflict they should have known they could never win unless the objective had been to take all of Vietnam by force. USA has never been invaded by a foreign power so Americans generally have little understanding about the sacrifices an invaded people is willing to endure to fight for their own country and their own existence. This was what the Americans faced in Vietnam. The American strategy used in Vietnam basically ensured USA could never win that conflict and the question has always been whether USA should have gotten involved in the first place. Today, USA enjoys a cordial relationship with Vietnam. Americans conduct business in Vietnam and most Vietnamese actually consider USA a friend. Vietnam is still a communist controlled nation and it has never been a danger to USA in any shape or form. China and Russia were always the greater evils. American soldiers in Vietnam did what they were ordered to do. American politicians never really had any idea about what they were actually doing there. The way Vietnam vets were treated was disgusting. What happened in Vietnam was never their fault. The blame was the decisions made by politicians.

[@nicholasguinan6452]

Your knowledge of the events that set the stage for America’s doomed venture in Southeast Asia is sickeningly and painfully accurate. How differently might the history of our involvement in Vietnam have been if our policymakers had honored Ho Chi Minh’s plea for our assistance, and hadn’t been summarily dismissed because Ho was a Communist, an hysterically demonized political affiliation. It’s simply heartbreaking to ponder on reflection. But then we wouldn’t have these veteran’s interviews, after all.
