I was with the 5th Infantry up in the Quang Tri Prov. 1968-1969. Lots of time on and around the DMZ. No entertainers would come there so we listened to music sent from come. We had a little cassette recorder. Terrible sound but it was music from home.

My dad, and all my uncles were in Vietnam. I was raised by a generation of traumatized vets who all had the demons, struggles with drugs, alcohol, violent outbursts. My dad is still alive (82) and has only just started talking about his experiences (at my urging). I know it's something that weighed heavily on him and we both hope and pray that one day, we can experience a time on earth with no war. I'm glad they had the medicine of music to help them get through the horrors they had to face.

[@lulaporter6080]

They (we) were raised by WWII vets with the same demons haunting them. John talked to his dearest friend about Vietnam and it did help. Keep urging him to discuss and work thru the horrors. Always reinforce how much you love him. His memories are just that.. memories. It was crazy and lawless back then. Same for every war.

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.

My Daddy served in Vietnam, I'll never forget the first time he had flashbacks it was so scary, me and my lil sister was watching The Yearling and our dad was asleep on the floor leaned up on the edge of our couch, on the end, suddenly he started moaning and mumbling, sweat was popping out all over his head and neck, he started screaming and making the motions of carrying a gun and firing it, my stepmom yelled for us to go to our room, we took off and we heard dad scream a blood curdling scream and then nothing, I could hear him crying sobbing like a child, then my stepmom saying it's ok Billy you didn't hurt the girls I sent them to their room, he let out a sigh of relief that me and my lil sis could actually hear, and he said Father forgive me, I did what I was ordered to do.that was the first time I ever seen anything like that, and the first time I ever heard my daddy talk to God. I remember it like yesterday, he never spoke about his time there, 3 tours, I'm 51 now, he's been gone since 98, he was 52 years old, Vietnam was very hard on him.

[@bonitadiablo]

I understand. My grandfather served in WWII. He very rarely talked about it, but as he was dying of cancer and on morphine, he had many hallucinations of the things he had experienced during his European tour. He was 18 and I could hear the terror, horror, and sadness in what he said during these episodes. I know he was in an area that had gotten hit pretty hard because he would scream about the rats and trying to get them away from the bodies. He passed in 72 when I was 9, but I never forgot the horrors that war imprints on the souls, minds, and hearts of our veterans. My father served in Vietnam and my husband in Afghanistan. So I am grateful to all of our service men and women who endure things that would break most of us. God bless you.

That was 1968 and I was only 5 years old. Dad made it back safe and I hope the other guy did too. To this day the music of the 60s and early 70s are my favorite.

That's fascinating about playing music on patrol and not caring if you were heard or not. Another thing that I learned through reading comment from a Vietnam veteran was that *Oogum Boogum* by Brenton Wood would be playing most times during his deployment. It fascinated me because certain songs and tropes have been popularized by Hollywood movies about the Vietnam War that I assumed music that played was always dark, edgy and/or politically charged anti war msssages and so on.

Hopefully one day our governments will stop these pointless wars for money and resources and no one will have to experience this pain again.

My grandfather fought in the first world war. He never spoke about it. But he didn't go on a tour of duty, he went for the duration. He went in 1914 came back late 1919. Everyone thinks the war finish in 1918 but there was lots of mopping up to be done he wasn't released until later. My grandmother was pregnant with my mum when he went. She was nearly 5 before he ever met her. He used to send her cards from the front, stamped passed by the cencer, no one knew where he was. I still have those cards. I am a 78 years old male, but tears come to my eyes when I look at them. Although he never talked about what happened he encouraged his 3 sons, my uncles, to get into an essential profession. During ww2 thay all worked as aircraft engineers 2 at a local factory and one at Rolls Royce. The only thing I know about his time in the army is that he was in the Leicestershire yeomanry and he was classed as a marksman, probobly a sniper.

[@tracyavent-costanza346]

so your perspective is UK, which I gather was not so much involved in vietnam but was involved in some of the later stuff. and yeah, terms of duty would have likely been different situations in europe of that period.

[@hmeyers5114]

WWI was an ugly, ugly war. Of the 60 million soldiers who fought in the First World War, over 9 million were killed - 14% of the combat troops or 6,000 dead soldiers per day. An entire generation of young men. The impact was that many women didn't marry and had to work outside the home which was a huge societal change. The wounded veterans had a horrible time if they couldn't work. Plastic surgery, as we know it, was perfected about this time due to the horrible facial injuries. Many men had to wear masks to hide horrific injuries. A friend was gassed at the Somme and had lung damage. A brutal war.

I was born in ‘55 and was a paperboy delivering the San Francisco Chronicle through the mid - late’60’s so was exposed to the war and protests on a daily basis. The nightly news was a constant reminder as well. The local weekly newspaper reported each hometown soldier killed or wounded in action. The war ended 6 months before I turned 18 and my draft number was in the 300’s so I couldn’t be drafted anyway. This war had such an impact on our collective psyches… and politics. The bright spot is the incredible music that was produced in response to the turmoil and sadness. My son is currently a sniper in the US Army following graduation from UCSC - hardly a conservative institution. God bless all who served and who are currently serving this great country.

Mine served one year in Vietnam after that tour, they brought him back to be a drill instructor. It about killed him training men for war knowing they would not come back and how vicious and ruthless the Vietnamese were. God was his shield is all I know. Because of the job he had during the war, 90% of the men died in battle.

You have a right to be proud of your dad, Michelle, and so to many other children whose fathers fought in the VN war. Always be proud of your father. It was a war that many people didn't understand and denigrated those who fought there, undeservedly, they were all heroes who fought in the Viet Nam war. I was young and hardly realized about the war there, but I certainly do now and my heart broke as I watched people stencil over their loved ones name on the Vietnam War Memorial in W. D.C. when I visited there. The Memorial is huge and it's difficult to realize how many of our young men were lost there. Please thank your Dad for us, for his service to our Country, Michelle!

Love the music of this time. My dad served 7 tours of duty in Vietnam; when he returned he was a changed man, and even in his later years wouldn't speak to me of the things he endured and saw. He was well decorated with a bronze star, silver star, purple hearth with oak leaf cluster but I think if he would have much rather not gone through things he did. Proud of the men and women that did their duty.

My very best friend Brendan and I, both in the USAF as Aerial Combat Documentary Photographers both got our Orders to go to Vietnam in July 1967 at Vandenberg AFB Calif where I had been stationed for 2 years and my friend 1 year. We had just returned from a TDY (Temporary Duty Mission) to familiarize ourselves using camera equipment in the back seat of Fighter jets when we got our Orders. My best friend loved to smoke pot (pot made me sick) Brendan Begged me to go to Canada with him instead of going off to the War. I couldn't do that and talked him into do what he signed up to do. We were on the same plane into Tan Son Nhut, Vietnam and then we got separated. He was shipped off to DaNang and I got sent to a B-52 base in U-Tapao Thailand. A few weeks later I got a letter from Brendan begging me to get OUR 1st. Sgt. From Vandenberg, Calif. (and Still my 1sgt in Thailand) to get him Transferred out of DaNang ! I decided I would wait until I had a chance to see 1st. Sgt. Frenchie DeCuir (both Brendan and my old Beer drinking 1st. Sgt. buddy back in Calif.) to get Brendan transferred. 2 weeks later I got notified that 1st. Sgt. Frenchie was coming to my base to visit. I was happy I would get to see Frenchie in person and tell him about Brendan. The Day Frenchie arrived at U-Tapao i went to pick him up at the Flight Line. Frenchie didn't seem real happy to see me and I asked him what was wrong. Frenchie said Dave... *BRENDAN IS DEAD* Brendan had gone to his Commander's Office afterhours and killed himself at his Commander's Desk ! *I WAS DEVESTATED THEN AND STILL TO THIS DAY FOR NOT EVEN TRYING TO HELP MY BEST FRIEND !* Brendan signed his letter to me Brendan the Flower Soldier ! *RIP Brendan !* WAR IS A MF'er !

It’s amazing how we try to make the claim of being civilized and literate, even religious. Yet, lend little value to one another or even earth, the diminishing pool of life.

(Lawyers,politicians and armorers) Race, hunger and guns would never be an issue, if we only could treat one another, just like we all want to be treated! A sustainable earth is on all of our shoulders. Before you condemn me as some passivist. I am a peace time PG Vet, that was on the wrong end of AKs, RPGs and Exocets. Those we faced, were only people just like us, pushing someone else’s ideals. When you take the easy money out of the picture. Those without morals collapse.

@thecommandtent4029 I am not saying it was a just war. It was an unimaginable tragedy for the Vietnamese people. Our military men, most of them, had no idea why they were there and what they were fighting for other than what they were told, and when they were in the thick of it they were horrified at what they were told to do. I know the politics of it and was NOT in support of that war whatsoever. I posted what I and my family remember seeing at home, footage on the news, and what my uncle went through. I was supporting our Vets in my post. You are misreading it to fit your narrative. I still proudly fly my flag in my front yard, you fly yours. Most Americans still have good morals and values and we'd like our Government to stay out of other country's business. Like any country there are everyday people without a clue and are sheep, there is corrupt and one-sided media, there are corrupt people in government who aren't fighting for our desires and creating policies to work for their agenda, not ours. So before you respond to a post, read what is being said. There are books on how to do that, pick one up and read it.

My dad was in WW2 and spent most of the war as a corporal in a tank in Northern France, Belgium and Germany. Luckily for him bright boys of working class background were given the opportunity after the war to study at university in the UK, and I think studying for his degree more or less straight after his discharge took away much of the pain of his experiences. He never talked much about the war but read a lot about it. He had little time for the glamorisation of war either. He was against the Vietnam War but always blamed the politicians and not the soldiers who he reckoned even then were often the victims of the conflict psychologically if not physically. Being a vet of an earlier conflict on which he'd had two decades for reflection, I guess, gave him some insight on how it was to be an ordinary soldier and the harm war inevitably does to both combatants and civilians caught up in it. He was a wise old bird and I miss him.

@@HendrikTibboel-pt5kw I'm not comparing those two conflicts in terms of the motives for those wars, but it shouldn't be forgotten that a lot of young men were severely traumatised by events in WW2 as well. One major difference between them was that this was talked about (quite rightly) after Vietnam, whereas it wasn't much in earlier decades after WW2 (or Korea or British colonial conflicts in Malaya and Kenya) when such trauma carried even more of a stigma. It's easy to see WW2 through the eyes of Hollywood blockbusters of the 50s and 60s, and not as it really happened. The film "The Thin Red Line" at least tried to capture the horror and trauma of the WW2 Pacific theatre.

​@@HendrikTibboel-pt5kw A mad man didn't start shit. Both sides of that war were funded by big banks from England, USA, Germany. All wars are bankers wars. Roosevelt admin knew that the Japs were coming. There was a whole book written about it from research in part out of the library of Congress. Prescott Bush was one of Hitler's financiers, out of an investment Bank called, Brown Brothers Harriman and Union National. Many big Corporations and foundations we know today and are funders of public television and radio were involved in the Nazi war effort , and making big money. People hadta go past there 11th grade history book and dig a little deeper. Many people still believe Kennedy was assassinated by one guy from a window and 911 was planned by 4 men in a cave.

His MOS was EOD and although I was teaching at the time and against the war on historical bases, I honor your service and assure you that when the soldiers returned it would never occur to me to spit on or name call. I thank you for your service and wish you well.--Carol-Ann Sage

[@jjhpor]

There have been several studies done, both by academics and media researchers regarding the alleged spitting. While impossible to prove that such spitting occurred or not, no documented cases have supported the claims. It is inconsistent with the documented inclusion of "bring the boys home" in virtually all anti-war protests. i personally returned to the US in uniform from Germany in 1January of 1967 and was pretty much ignored at the airport. I never experienced any animosity attending college when I returned. It seems to me more like something made up by the Nixon administration to bolster their pursuit of the war. To my mind the American soldiers there were as much the victims of the war as the patriotic Vietnamese who were defending their homes from an invading army.
