[@barrydysert2974]

Thank you. That hurt. A lot. You reopened a deep, old and personal psychic wound. Face it and embrace it! Learn and NEVER repeat!:-) 🖖

Every single Vietnamese name was mispronounced. I’ll help with them, there is one IMPORTANT rule, every word is pronounced with only one syllable. There is no words in the Vietnamese dictionary that is pronounced with two syllables. I would also recommend looking at the Vietnamese alphabet (don’t worry it uses Latin letters not characters). Võ Nguyên Giáp, the Võ is pronounced like “vol” but make the o pitch up and try to roll the o, Nguyên is pronounced like “when” but try to make a en sound at the end (remember one syllable), and Giáp is pronounced like “zap” but make the a pitch up. See easy, every word in Vietnamese also be spell out with a pattern by mixing the sound of each letter, but that might be hard for no-native speakers.

@@gianglethu2001 I used him as an example because he was mention in the video and how am I offending him? I was just telling people how it should be pronounce. My name has Nguyên in it and I’m sick of people pronouncing it with 3-4 syllables.

This helps me more than John Green’s videos, idk maybe it’s the art or the timeline of the visual history.

Talking about Vietnam War or American War, there are a lot of controversies till these days. However, there were 3 key turning points that could prevent so much bloodshed between both sides. First of all, studying about the Ho Chi Minh letter which had sent to President Harry Truman in 1946. In that letter, President Ho would want to make an alliance with the USA for re-constructing Vietnam after WW2 (in WW2 Viet Minh was helping American get rid of the Japanese Imperial) and preventing the French colonial’s re-invasion, but the American kept in silence. Secondly, after the French’s defeat at Dien Bien Phu 1954, both Communist and Capitalist forces should not divide Vietnam into half (because the divided country is always against the Vietnamese wish in general or President Ho Chi Minh in personal, Ho Chi Minh is nationalist rather than capitalist or communist, he only picked the side in order to help his people out or slavery). So, at this time American politicians again made alliance with a wrong side (South Vietnam). If there were no ideal of capitalism or communism’s involvement, Vietnam would become an independent country already and may follow the Western countries. But American was so afraid of the domino’s affect, they were wrong at beginning and they kept it wrong once again. If American learned so well about Vietnamese history, they would know 3000 years the Vietnamese and the Chinese would never be a good alliance. Because the Vietnamese would do anything to defend the country and stay out of Chinese’s domination. The North Vietnam only borrowed the military support to fight the USA, and they made sure they used it well. However, by comparison to the Southern Vietnamese they were more dependable to American supports. That why, so much resources had been wasted, and the South people was no willing to win the war. Mistake by mistake, the USA politicians were so afraid of losing face that pushed them deeper into the shit hole. Thirdly, the attack of Tolkin Gulf was totally made of fake, which triggered 11 further years of meaningless bloodshed for both sides. After all in 1973, American decided to withdraw military and resources out of the South leaving behind the whole failing campaigns, which they could be have as strategic alliance in South East Asia Region from beginning after WW2. As a result, in the end neither capitalism nor communism had won. It was the will of the people would want to be independent from Colonial and Imperial Force, no longer being slavery. The lessons of Vietnam War is the ultimate lesson of studying your enemy, and choosing the right partner. Nowadays, Vietnam’s politic still follow Communism in order to maintain the stability, but their Economic totally toward Capitalism (free trade). In diplomacy, Vietnam chooses to be neutral and ready to cooperate with any friends. And the most important thing is the will of every Vietnamese always exists the patriotism against from foreign force of domination, even the Chinese or whomever.

The major lesson learned by the USA having their bottoms spanked was to pick smaller targets, a course followed diligently ever since in their state of continuous war against someone or other. It's as if somebody's making a ton of money out of constant warfare. The second largest industry on the planet is armaments and over 50% of the world's armaments manufacturing is in the USA. How much influence do they have in the finest democracy money can buy? Enough to maintain a state of constant warfare? Looks like.

[@dontran391]

No offense but this Vietnam War History Video is slightly biased, especially not much is said about nextdoor Cambodia & Laos. You also you need work in properly pronouncing Viet, Khmer, & Laotian words. It's offensive to a Viet like myself if you mispronounce it properly. For Example: The Viet word "My Lai". It's NOT pronounced at "Mai Lai", proper way of pronouncing is "Mee Lai" (the "My" has a special accent mark on the "y" that makes it pronounce as "eeee" instead of "ai") Another one: Nguyen is NOT pronounce as Nooh Gen. Correct pronounciation is Nooh En Ngo Dinh Diem is pronounced as "No Dinh Ziem" (note: there are 2 D's in the Vietnamese alphabet where one D is pronounced with the normal D, whereas the other D (with no particular additional markings) is pronounce with a Z) Kampuchea is pronounced as "Camp Puch Chee Ah" & NOT "Camp Puch Cheese"

[@jamesw1724]

Thanks for this interesting video about The American War. Can you guess where I live? Contact me if you need help with pronouncing Vietnamese, eg. How to say "Đ,đ" sounds like /d/, and "D,d" which sounds /z/

[@CucuExploziv]

Seems like corruption knows no color!

[@Hameln]

Your pronounciation of Vietnamese is terrible, but I love your video. nevertheless, you make “linebacker II” sounds like a tactical move for US to successfully sign the peace treaty with Hanoi, but in fact, the peace treaty is held before that, and because of failure in negotiation that leds to “linebacker II”. And US cannot continue to bomb the North financially, and eventually cannot break Vietnamese people’s spirit. that is why linebacker II ends, and US must come back to the political negotiation

[@gandalfgreyhame3425]

Eh, you got sooooooo many details of the Vietnam War TOTALLY WRONG - almost every other sentence has some factual error or misinterpretation of the facts. I could write an entire essay about what's not correct in your recounting of the history of the Vietnam War. Meh... just not worth my while, though. The Vietnam War is so poorly misunderstood by the vast majority of people who just do a cursory glance at its details.....

South Vietnam massacred Buddhists and burned people's homes in the countryside, and they tortured very cruelly.
