A visit to the Battle of Hamburger Hill site (Vietnam) - 1969 Battle from the Vietnam War. www.battlesfought.com
Please, name of soldier Who was shot by VC At top of Hamburger Hill Ambushed. Soldiers returned fire Killing VC One soldier loses 3 or 4 Fingers? Please name this person.
I can't go to Hamburger Hill because the VC are still hiding in the woods
What a waste of young lives for simply nothing, all for USA political glory
I went to hamburger hill in may 1996 Vietnam had just started opening its doors to foreigners ,there was still lots of relics from the war and the thing i noticed the most at hamburger hill was the peacefulness,i think it was so amplified because of what had gone on 27 years earlier ,The U S, MIA unit had been digging there recently,you could see all the trenches they had dug looking for there MIA,s . Good bless all who fought and died on that lonely hill in the A shau valley Vietnam.
937
more of a gentle incline than a hill no?
why does that zippe/rhead at 5:30 have a piece of blue paper on his face?!?!
Listen to the sound of that jungle.. that must be so triggering to Vietnam vets. That’s all they heard all day long.
I visited this site in April 2023 with a tour guide and one of the local militiamen. The monument you see in this video is at Hill 900. From this monument it's a short hike (~500 meters my guesstimate) over to Hill 937. From Hill 937 you take another trail to reach a spot which was the Command Post site for Delta Company 3/187th. Between the Delta Company site and Hill 937 we found a dinner plate sized piece of helicopter fuselage. There were several bomb craters on the hill. The whole area is really thick with elephant grass, bamboo, and trees. From the bottom of the stairs (where you park the car) up to Hill 900 then over to Hill 937 then to the Company D CP site and back all the way to the car was a 3 hour hike. It's not for anyone out of shape, for sure. Of course, we had no heavy loads, no rain, no mud, and no unfriendlies along the way and it was still lots of "cardio" for the three of us. The UXO along the trail has been cleared, but it is still dangerous to go off any of the trails.
Apachesnow !! Real name of this operation! Fact I was there! New Mexico combat Marine ! Semper Fi !!
Thank you for your service, sir.
Hello where i can find or contact the family of one of Vietnam war soldier thanks
The big difference is that with all of the bombing and napalm thrown, there was mostly mud and splintered wood. The soldiers would climb the hill by digging their heels in the mud to push themselves up. If they lost all of their footing, they would slide down helplessly while exposing themselves to hostile fire.
I can't imagine how horrific it must have been fighting and trying to survive in those conditions. I have the utmost respect for Vietnam veterans. I salute all of you. RIP to all that were lost.
How these people has no bitterness toward America imperialism is incredible
Strange to see that group photo of all the guys being one unit, and their country divided AF, and no support when they got home.
Funded by the US. Seems like the US funds everything in the world.
So much life in the jungle shame so many died for nothing.
Mảnh đất nhỏ nhiều ác mộng của người Mỹ
Rip to all of our American soldiers who we lost ro this senseless war we had no business getting involved with .
I think that more than the 1 tree was destroyed during the battle!
Hi, could you tell me what tour company you used? This tour looks awesome
What was the cost for this trip?
Hooah semperfi
Weak! Best of luck!
Imagine fighting in that shit
Noise in the jungle,wow 🚬☠️🐓
yeah, know this hill from rs2 video game. pretty sad story though.
is this a tour tourist can take out of Hue?
change the name of this video to THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT. get a better camera and learn to shoot on the move. holy sht
I am excited...yet sad...for my upcoming trip there. Nice video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for bringing this great content. The sad part about it is that the US government just wastes our heroes and tax dollars for nothing. They take the hill just to leave it and then in the end we just walk away from it all just like in Afghanistan. What a waste! Thank you for showing us this.
Extremely interesting video.
Appreciate the tour. Let's leave the ShakyCam back at the hotel next time. 😉
Let's see you hump through the jungle, uphill carrying any kind of equipment. I say dude did just fine.
During the fighting that place was bare and looked like a moon scape. It’s amazing how the jungle reclaim’s itself. It’s all grown bad now.
reclaims with an apostrophe??? What the F?
Your guide’s name is Charlie Cong ? 😜🤪🤔
Looks much different than when I was there. To make the experience more exciting, they need some "bad guys" firing blank rounds at you as you near the top.
Have any stories to share?
I have never understood why people want to go back to battle sites where friends died, and there was so much pain and anguish. I served but have absolutely 100% no desire to ever go back over there where I was
Sir I salute you. Thank you for your service to all of us. For some people it might be an act of closure or part of a person's tragic history. Think of why so many people travel to Deahly plaza - it does something for the mind for them. You chose a different way and it works for you. I wish you the best -from a younger veteran.
Did you serve in Vietnam?
Same here !!! I'm perfectly fine never seeing afghanistan or Iraq again. I did my time !!!
Would you mind let me know who were the other guys? Support or monitoring you? When I was off the road which was through a jungle in Lam Dong, some soldiers appeared and told me to go, because there are some endangered trees that need special protection, I looked up and that's true; Have not been stopped by any case of security problem, onced I accidentally drived into a military area where they running back and forth, like PE, and just drived out. I'm curious to know if foreigners got further problems, if any.
Disappointing: I was hoping to see lots of relics on the ground like in World War One battlefields. I would have expected this area to be strewn with them as it is still jungle.
I saw the movie and the hill was at 45 degree angle going up to the top, to me this hill in the video would be harder to take because it's flat and wide what a waste of lives on both sides.
❤️🇺🇸💙 Such a Sad War...Too many Lives were lost including my first love in 1968..All of our Vietnam Veterans are the Bravest..God Bless them All..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
🙏🙏🙏.. God bless all my fellow veterans and especially those we lost.
On the other hand, if your first love hadn't been killed, then (presumably) none of your children or grandchildren would exist. So really, you wouldn't want things to be different.
Hello where I can find or contact the family of one of Vietnam war soldier
Sadly a worthless war...so many lives lost...for nothing! RIP to all who served.
Wish I could understand what they were talking about. Understand just a little
The idea of hauling an M60 up that hill, wow.
Imagine a veteran of this battle stumbling across this video. I assume they wouldn't care to revisit on the computer screen but what a nightmare to see the terrain again.
be good to get some vets on here and share there thoughts ??!!!
That wood is so damn dense.
when you attack a position you are not laying mines mines are a defensive weapon so if there are any mines they were put there by the defenders ie: The NVA so the US is paying to demine the enemies ordnance lol
At least they built a shrine there. The amount of butchery that went on 50 years ago.
The US military didn't keep Hamburger Hill because their intention was to draw the NVA out, so the artillery and air power could be used to kill them in large numbers. The strategy was, always FIND. FIX and DESTROY. Our troops were just bait in a large chess game.
Thats a ridiculous strategy. They fight and take the hill....then decide to leave in hopes of drawing out NVA? LOL... america. All a joke and a lie.
Nói thế nào đi nữa thì người Mỹ đã thua thật sự không phải cứ mạnh là thắng đâu nha..
Well, it was an ill informed strategy
@@HoaPham-se1pgThe Americans lost politically. The Vietnamese lost more soldiers than Americans. The Americans finally found the enemy caches and could’ve destroyed the Vietcong. But the ceasefire was called and the war was ended. RIP to all 😢
A totally unnecessary waste of lives. Post mortem medals and monuments mean nothing for the soldiers and their loved one's. They were mere pions in a demonic chess game played by unscrupulous politicians and Generals. O', and let's not forget the role Hendri Kissinger and the CIA played in this humanitarian disaster which ended in shame.
A Troop 3/5 cav drove their tanks to the top of this hill in June of 69.
