I had a friend from grad school in 2019 who fought in this battle, although in the other battalion of the 7th cav. He was 73 years old and he got right in my face when telling me about this battle, like two feet away and with all his energy he told me about fighting the NVA at La Drang. He was wounded at La Drang and wounded again during the Tet offensive. He later became a colonel in command of a tank battalion in Desert Storm. William I miss u bro and cannot forget your energy when you talked about this battle!!!!! He was deployed to Vietnam on his 18th birthday and this battle happened like the same week.

The only time he ever mentioned anything about Vietnam was after the two of them went to see Platoon together. He told me his Dad asked how realistic the movie was and he told him that is exactly what it was like, and what he went through! His Dad was in most of the major battle's on a Ship .R.I.P.

My grandfather was in the 173rd air Bourne and he has told many of us that if war breaks out in or out of country if we were ever called in to fight ...we would never be the same , he has been through a lot and many of the troops who fought this war are respected in my house and they all will be known through life or death they are the soldiers who was doing what was asked of them , true stories are being made into thrilling films yet the audience has no idea about the horrible ordeal these men of both sides been through, I pray that when the time comes we stand together no apart just so everyone knows that this film was at the time my favorite just because of the action when I should be seeing it as a told story of real events that left many without fathers brothers uncles and nephews this war is not forgotten to the ones who lived it or the ones whose been in it. I will speak for the morons which is not my choice in words but I am deeply sorry for the way you brave souls were treated and how you were put through such an ordeal. In the end you will have my most respect

@@californiabrotherhood8114 no they didn’t, the war won in a stalemate in which the US completed the objective of defending South Vietnam’s independence. North Vietnam broke a peace treaty, that’s not winning a war, you don’t win a war by breaking your word. South Vietnamese and American soldiers fought long and hard and by the end of the war they had successfully protected south Vietnam. Also, now Vietnam is capitalist and The entire war was just a battle front of the cold war in which the US won, the US stop the spread of capitalism in Asia, turned Vietnam capitalist AND beat the Soviets. That sounds like a victory to me. The leader of north Vietnam even said “the US’s weakness is democracy, Americans tell the government what to do and the media what to say. I (the government) tell the media what to say and tell the people what to do”. The US won militarily. But it lost politically (in the short run, it won in the long run) because it wasn’t a dictatorship or empire.

From what I learned, many of the conflicts were incredibly close quarters and went on for hours. At some point some soldiers on both sides, after mag dumping their last mag on both their rifles and sidearms would quite literally charge each other; beating each other to death with whatever they had. The stocks of their rifles, the butts of their handguns, bayonets, knifes and yes their own bare hands.

Dad was too young to go to Vietnam, enlisting in the Marines in 1974 as early as he could but not soon enough to make it there.

[@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent]

@Michael Ojeda Its due to the fact they don't really always kill and when they do its really fucking painful. They fact it can leave a victim in horrific pain either alive or dying is why it was considered inhumane and officially banned from use. Other weapons technically banned are various lasers, Flame throwers, most if not all chemical weapons or sensory devices that can be used for torture or pain. Interestingly Teflon the coating used in cooking pans also falls under this.

My 2nd cousin served in the United States Army from 1965 to 1967 deployed 3 times to Vietnam. We watched this movie together in 2017 and after it was over he said that was the closest representation to a Vietnam battle he’d seen on screen. He said the enemy was relentless, sneaky and knew the ground. If you stopped firing your M60, M16 you’d be a dead man. If you had too you picked up an AK47 and took mags from the dead bodies . “Keep shooting at all costs and when your mag or belt was empty you laid flat loaded your rifle or machine gun and dumped the mag or belt as fast as you could” “you felt no remorse just the sheer will to survive for the next minute and if you survived for the next minute you were lucky” That was from James Carr ret. US Army

[@toughspitfire]

So there are two major inaccuracies that are in this video. This isn't a rant or anything just thought I'd point them out. 1. The initial attack on the French army in the opening is based on a real event, however, they were not killed to the last man, they managed to break out although they suffered heavy casualties. Also, the Vietnamese troops DID take prisoners ALIVE. I know some feel that this was a way to demonize the Vietnamese but I don't believe this as the rest of the film does attempt to portray the NVA and its commander in a respective light. I feel it was more Randall Wallace trying to greater increase the feel of danger the US soldiers would eventually face in the movie. 2. The final battle where they charge and Helicopters with miniguns blast the NVA troops to pieces didn't happen. In reality, the fighting just ended up dying down, I think because the NVA lost so much manpower they couldn't continue any more major offenses on American positions. So, Americans just left, as they felt they achieved their objective of causing mass casualties on the enemy(Which they did). Again I think people will chalk this up to just trying to be American propaganda or however you want to put but honestly, this is just more Randall Wallace probably wanting a more exciting climax,.By the way, this guy kinda has a reputation for butchering history for the sake of storytelling. Besides that there a few other smaller inaccuracies but surprisingly, for the most part, the rest of the film is pretty accurate, and given how I described Randall Wallace that's a real achievement.

[@christopherfranklin4760]

Glad I'm not the only one who posted the inaccuracy of the minigun attack, which did not happen. Miniguns were not on choppers in 1965. Any technical advisor to the movie would know this.

[@capturedskunk7698]

[@BaoPhạm-b4k]

Haha if the Americans were that strong, they wouldn't have lost. The real movie before the Vietnamese people never stood as targets for the enemy but they hid in the bushes.

[@Tom_The_Cat]

What I love is the period accurate weapons and gear the Vietnamese have at the beginning when fighting the French. The first battle scenes in the movie are from the First Indochina War, between 1946 and 1954. The DRV was being supported by the Soviet Union and China, and had the uniforms and weapons of the time. Mosins, PPSh 41s and 43s, maybe even a few Hanyang 88s. Then the jump to 1965. Vietnam has more updated gear, including the infamous AK 47 That first battle against the French Army is such a short scene, but the attention to detail is great

[@RedneckRapture]

If I remember right, Randall Wallace had his own son play that French guy with the trumpet that got shot in the neck to add a more personal stake to the movie.

[@karlvonbahnhof6594]

Right, I was in the Czech army, we used vz58, it's something like Kalashnikov, but czech made, made from better materials, but more expensive, not so popular in the world, but when you hold the trigger down on continuous shooting mode, the 30 rounds magazine is gone in less than 2.5 seconds, every soldier had a pocket for 4 magazines, it gives you 9 seconds of shooting, but in the war it's different, everyone probably has to have a backpack full of ammo, I don't know, I was just a conscript...

[@taoliu3949]

Karl von Bahnhof You don't hold down the trigger, you fire in bursts when on full auto. Normally you're not going to use automatic fire, you use single fire. Automatic fire is for fire superiority and suppression. Fire discipline goes a long way towards ammo conservation. That said, battles like these that rages on for multiple days would require ammo resupply. Troops would be cycled to the rear or if that's not possible, ammo would be brought to them.
