As a fellow Veteran I want to thank all Vietnam Veterans for your sacrifices & service for our Country. Most of all thank you for these stories. Vietnam definitely was a inspiration for my enlistment into the Army as a 13 bravo ~ Artillery 155 M777. Which brought me to Hawaii to the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield and Taji Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2007. Growing up I was always captivated by the Vietnam war and looked up to the men who fought in it. As a child I was around a Vietnam Veteran but was to young to hear his stories directly from him. Later I did through my mother and older brother. It was fascinating to me, as is these stories. Thanks again.

I could listen to these stories all day. My late Uncle was in the Vietnam war and I was the shyest kid out my 5 sibling and uncle CJ would sometimes talk to me about the war. He was such a kind soul, he would tear up when talking about a lot of it. I was so interested in his life during the war. 😢 I find it truly heart breaking that a lot of troops that come back don’t feel like anyone understands them or even cares about what they’ve been through. At least that’s what it felt like with my very loved uncle. He was such a quiet, kind person. My mother said he was never the same when he came back home. I respect anyone that willingly goes into the military. I feel like it takes a strong person to go through all they go through to come back home and listen to the spoiled people that live in the US. Sadly, a huge portion of people couldn’t careless about the sacrifices that out parents, grandparents, from way back have been through for us to now be fighting over things like, “ what is a woman” .😰🚩🙏🏼

He s not telling you anything that the way be was trained! My husband James,Edward M cLaud when was drunk told me how he was severely trained by The USN to be a seal. He s as wringing his hands and angry at how.he had to finish his seal training as a foreman dumped 3000 ft down from the helicopter onto the Saigonese waters to plant mine. His job was to blowup The Viet cong submarines! It was like hitting cement on the water after her hit the surface and was knocked out momentarily. Listen to those proud black belt Marshall Artists seals and you'll sit and cry with them When off guard they talk about the horror of missions they had to finish the enemy off!

My great Uncle, told by my Dad who was a kid in 1945, came back from every campaign he was in. He was old cadre being he was an E-5 when WWII broke out so he had the experience every unit wanted. My dad sad he was unrecognizable when they met him at the ship in NYC. Would sleep under his bed and just wake up screaming in terror until they had to put him in a facility, where he never came out of. There just wasn't any help for them. Then. Not much now but they do recognize and treat them somewhat. But war is just a mess, we need it expunged from our economy.

I wonder how many listening to him talk about the firefight on the river can truly grasp exactly what that was like. His description of it was amazing. I am honored to have been able to hear stories from guys like this. I first started hearing these from my older brother. He was a gunner on Puff the Magic dragon gun ships for 4 tours. I also got to hear stories from the men I was in the Army hospital I was sent to after being badly hurt overseas. Later, I met men in the VA hospitals. Amazing stories of incredible violence & heroism, acts of bravery, and survival. Mixed in with funny as hell stories. This is the living first person history you are hearing. He was there, he did all these things. He is something else to listen to. Mad respect due here. Thank you, sir, for sharing all this with us. The video was well done, excellent editing. You have captured one hell of an interview here. US Army 1969/71

You did not say that Vietnam did not cross the Pacific Ocean to attack the US with napalm, agent Orange and carpet bombing america to the Stone Age. America crossed the Pacific from 10000 miles away to attack Vietnam with napalm, agent orange and bomb the whole peninsula to the Stone Age. So why are you so flippant about American involvement? There is no reason to be gloating about the warring in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. After all the massacre of the Americans, what has US achieved? Nothing. Vietnam is still communist and doing better than ever, in spite of having to reconstruct from the destruction wrought on them by american air power. Vietnamese should be making this type of videos to show how they faced up to the Americans and kicked them out.

Thank you Sir for your Service to our Grateful Nation. It’s so wild that I was born in 64 but I have my entire life I have made it my life’s Work studying the Vietnam War. I have literally 100 of Friends who served along with Two Older Brothers. I always make it a point to Express my Gratitude for the Service that all Veterans that have serve wether War Time or Peace. I didn’t serve in the Military but I did Go into the Firefighting Service, the reason was I had a Son at the age of 17 years old and my Girlfriend at the time but my Wife of 38 years lived in a Not so good of a Family situation so I would not leave her. But my Brother who was 18 months older then I and he wanted me too enlisted on the Buddy Plan but I couldn’t leave my baby boy. But Greg spent 14 Years in the Army. He was something in the SF Operator, the Medically Retired Him because of Two Botched Surgeries one at Wright Patterson Air Base then the Last Time at Walter/Reed Hospital in DC. He also ended up with something that had to do with Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom. He Passed away Some years ago and is Buried in Great Lake National Cemetery in Holly, Michigan. He Love To Jump that was his Favorite thing to do, he spent Most all his Time in Bragg and Fort Campbell.

All for honor their service/struggles, but how the heck did they "protect OUR freedoms/country" from the Vietnamese? Maybe I'm misunderstanding history and geography here, but, how in the world could you think they "protected" us from an "enemy" who we had to false flag our way into a conflict with? Jungle/swamp Asians don't seem like a threat to Americans from all the way across the pond. Especially in 60s-70s. Correct me if im wrong though.

Very interesting story and thanks for your service. My dad was a sonar man in ww2. He volunteered for the scouts and raiders towards the end of the war. It was similar to or pre seals.

You are such a brave man. And funny. You guys were crazy funny. My ex-husband and I divorced in 1975. He was a tortured soul who committed suicide in 2008. I wish I could have helped him more-we were so young.

I am studying The Vietnam War for 23 years. This subject captivates me. I spend a lot of time on this subject. I wish I could interview guys like this. I concentrate my research on The Phoenix Program, Vietnam.

@@truestoriesfromthevietnamwar It is my favorite thing to do is listen to interviews and read about everything from the Opium Wars that led to the diaspora into SEA. That's how everyone knew how to cultivate poppies. I study intensely JFK, RFK, LBJ, Nixon, the CIA, the mafias to The Fall of Saigon and Ambassador Graham Martin. LBJ dropped out of the race in 68' because of the My Lai. He flat out broke with the CIA. He said he will not run and then he set up peace talks to end the war. Nixon's guy told one party not to show up. LBJ's talks fail. RFK starts talking about closing Vietnam and RFK is assassinated. Nixon wins, prolongs the war, but is compromised by the CIA. They have this dirt on him. They were screwing with him constantly. He created the Drug War and that put a dent into CIA and the mafias that were making billions on heroin. They got Nixon out of there and an original member of the Warren Commission is inaugurated President Gerald Ford. All this nonsense while the soldier dies on the battlefield.
