📷▶ What They NEVER Told You About the Vietnam War | Historical Photos

[@mamagale5625]

Johnson had no real interest in ending the war. He made money on every single American base opened in the country. This was told to me by a high ranking military officer I met at work Bundy lied about us winning the war and the numbers we killed. He wanted more and more troops sent. There were also areas that US soldiers were not allowed to go into to fight. It was up near the North/ South border. It provided protection for the Viet Cong. The troops on Hamburger Hill did not even have enough ammo to put up a good fight yet they still won at great cost after reinforcements arrived. When the battle was over we abandoned the hill. All those deaths for nothing. No one talks about the lions, tigers, huge snakes, leeches and other predators troops faced. Bungee pits (pits with upright spikes covered in feces) and trip wires that sent spiked balls into soldiers cost lots of lives and devastating injuries. The Vietnamese had deep underground bunkers, hospitals, and command centers. The South Vietnamese would not fight along with the Americans. Only the Hmung aided us. Many of them came to American after the war or they would have been killed. As soon as we left, Hanoi reverted to Communism. They slaughtered anyone that helped America. The domino effect was a bunch of bullshit. Johnson also lied about POW's left behind. Young men at war still have physical needs. They brought home 5 veneral diseases never seen in America before. Readers Digest did a big article on this.

You nailed it. Johnson made millions on the war and was responsible for our losses. He turned the action on and off as he needed more cash from the amunition manufacturers. A couple of good books have been written about the swamp in those days and how Johnson was the chief aligator.

That page from the playbook has been used many times over since then. You just have to sell it as patriotism.

@@mamagale5625 The truth about the Vietnam War that was never fully told. United States had No intention of winning the Vietnam War from the very beginning. Fear it might become like the Korean War with mass continuing Communist Chinese troops from China pouring against American military force in Vietnam. And the threat of a thermal nuclear War with the Soviet Union during the Cold War following the Cuban missile crisis that happen in 1962. The Vietnam War started during the Civil Rights movement and racial tension between whites and blacks all across America. Several members in the US government were segregationist and they had their eyes dumping their Blacks problem on Vietnam with the chaos that was happening in Vietnam at that time between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam. At that time, the South Vietnamese had 250,000 troops and North Vietnamese had 60,000 troops and the DMZ line had already been establish at the 17th parallel. Many Vietnamese peoples from both North and South did Not support going to War and killing each other over the idea of Communist. Even though several North and South Vietnamese leaders believe Vietnam should Not be divided and try to distrupt one another. But they couldn't rally enough support among the Vietnamese peoples in Vietnam to support going to War. Until Nov. 2, 1963 When US President JF Kennedy and LB Johnson order his CIA to stage a military coup assasination on a catholic South Vietnamese President, Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. This action gave America the power to do what ever they want to Vietnam and to the Vietnamese peoples. And the US appointed an ex-Vietminh soldiers for Ho Chi Minh, Nguyễn Văn Thiệu as their puppet South Vietnamese President. The South Vietnamese President who cause the lives of 500,000 South Vietnamese troops killed or capture by the North Vietnamese army and their communist allies The Pathet Lao army, and the Communist Khmer Rouge army of Cambodia when he order them to be station and patrol in Kampuchea. And who told Nguyễn Văn Thiệu to do so? The United States, fear more Americans troops will be killed in Kampuchea. 20 days after the military coup assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. US President JF Kennedy was assasinated in Dallas, TX on Nov 22, 1963 and LB Johnson was sworn in as the 36th US President. On Aug 10, 1964, US President LB Johnson declare US military action to Vietnam over an alleged attack on a US destroyer, Maddox that was on patrol past the 17th parallel near Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam. While supporting the South Vietnam. 500,000 US ground troops was sent to fight in Vietnam. 40% of those US troops that were sent to fight in Vietnam were adult blacks male along with high school drop out white male, non-college white male, trouble teen white male, and white convict male were all sent to fight in Vietnam. And when these US troops arrive in Vietnam and they did their "Search and Destroyed mission." The Communist North Vietnam gain mass support for their cause and their army grew from 60,000 troops to over 1,000,000 troops. On March 16, 1968, several group of US platoons military unit rape and massacre 500 Vietnamese villagers of women, childrens, and old peoples at the village called My Lai during their Search and Destroyed mission. When news and image of My Lai massacre broadcast all across America. There was a mass out cry of protest all across America. Demanding all US millitary force pull out of Vietnam. This lead to Republican Presidential candidate Richard Nixon winning the Nov. 3, 1968 US Presidential election. The following year, when Richard Nixon took office. His 1st excutive order was to pull out all US military force out of Vietnam. By then, the communist North Vietnamese army was already infiltrate all over in South Vietnam and attacking every where since the Tet offensive that happen on Jan 30, 1968 - Sept 23, 1968. President Nixon order a nonstop US B52 bombers to bombed Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam and its seaport military supply, Haiphong. This halted the advance of the North Vietnamese army taking over all of South Vietnam. The South Vietnamese army began retaking back many city and town from Communist North Vietnam in the South. But all that end, on August 8, 1974 when US President Richard Nixon made a televise annoucement of his resignation as US President to American peoples over the Watergate Scandal. A few months later the US Congressional election on Nov. 5, 1974. The Democrats party won a landslide in the US Senate and the House of Representative. The following year in 1975, the newly elected Democrats took their seat in Congress. The 1st bill of law pass was to cut off all US military aids funding to South Vietnam. This action cause the Fall of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975 to communist North Vietnam. Thus began a mass flow of Vietnamese refugee fleeing out of Vietnam. 10 of thousands of Vietnamese refugee died at sea from hunger, thirst, illness, Thai pirates, and Chinese warships. Today over 100's of thousands young South Vietnamese childrens are born of birth defect from the US toxic biological chemical, Agent Orange which the US military spray all over rivers and forest of South Vietnam. 3,000,000 innocent Vietnamese civilians of women, childrens, and old peoples had to die in their country during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War is the worse United States War Crime in history. From Truman, JF Kennedy and LB Johnson were all were WWI and WWII veteran who sent the next young American men to become killers. Why I post this is because for years I'm tired Americans use Vietnam War as a Propaganda War story. Telling peoples that they there to help South Vietnam fight against communist North Vietnam. When America is the root cause for the Vietnam War and the downfall of South Vietnam. .

Why does the fall of Saigon sound so familiar. Oh yeah it's similar to what we did in Afghanistan except we did it willingly WTF

What a waste of precious American boys lives!

[@Gvsvillages]

We've all heard of the death & destruction in Vietnam because of the many films regarding this made after. Meanwhile the far greater loss of lives and physical & mental devastation of WW1 is only recognised on armistice Day was by far more tragic. Soldiers on the trenches, young men, were used as ammunition, their lives of no value. Men who refused to run into the killing zone were shot by army seniors. Those who lived suffered 'shell shock' (PTSD), and became beggars as they couldn't work. Nobody helped them. Just saying.

If I remember correctly this wasn’t a war. It was a policing action.

[@BinhLe-bz2eu]

@@randyhome1544 That's another way calling it. But LB Johnson declare it as US Military Action. But he could not get it approved if it had not all the segregationists in the US Congress at that time because under the US Constitution only US Congress can grant a President the power to declare War. And the same Democrats party who had control over the US Senator and House of 1975 cut off all US military aids funding to South Vietnam. Causing the April 30, 1975.
