I was in Afghanistan and Iraq and I could not imagine coming back to those countries
my neighbor is a Jordanian lady officer who served in Afghanistan for 6 months. she told me those 6 months were more like 6 years. very slow and painful.
Maybe in 25 to 50 years, if you're still around, things might change enough that you could, without hate but with forgiveness.
D14z1911 AR15NV why not we welcome you to Iraq come to Kurdistan it was you that made Kurdistan almost Dubai like region soon to be country we always thank the Americans and America for liberating us from that dictator Saddam that have killed 1 million Kurds 1/3 of our population back then
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
I never served but I've had family go to Iraq and Afghanistan and I asked them if they would go back 20 years from now and they said no. My cousin who served as an MP in Iraq said and I quote, "You could put a gun to my head and I wouldn't go back". My other family members said the same thing. If I went I wouldn't go back. Those countries are combination of a graveyard and a pigsty.
Don’t talk about war
Now , we are friends🇻🇳🇺🇸
It’s time to build friendship between our country
@Darknight E WE ARE NOT FRIENDS OF CAPITALISTIC NATO😳 LOVE COMMUNISM VIETNAM FROM BELARUSSIA🇻🇳❤️
All Vietnameses even the communist didn't and will never hate the American veterans and American citizens, there was no animosity even my neighboor, he was fought for NVA from 1965 when he was 14 until the war ended in 1975, he and his family now live peacefully. However, he soly told me how the war happen, how he trekking from the north to south and fight against enemies without animosity or frustration, he told when the your nation call, you go with your patriotism, he admired how good the US weapon was
1967 1968 ok Việt - Minh
@IMxYOURxDADDY we doesn't like US more than china we just doesn't hate US more than china that a big different
@@nguyenuctrung3814 learn some grammars and your explaination sounds like a primary kid trying to act like you are a historian
my father is a Vietnam veteran he went back on the same trip and even talked to the Vietnamese soldiers that fought against him they said the same exact thing they were fighting because they had to it's not the soldiers fault it's the government's my father even hugged one of the generals and that General had a bewildered look on his face but it gave my dad a little bit of closure and I am very proud of him for going back and doing what he did if it wasn't for him and the others American soldiers half these m************ in the comment section wouldn't be walking around right now
God bless you father
The Vietnamese knew what they were fighting for, their independence day. They won, get over it, dont forget agent orange and the prostitution of a large number of people, the values Americans tried to bring over were totally immoral.
actually many of vietnamese soldiers were volunteers, so they truely fought because they wanted.
@@dimitryscoarta9964 because their land is being invaded, it is just common sense
Thank you. Great story
I was Navy. 1970-1993. I was lucky. I could change into civvies before I went out into town.
I dont know how the Vietnamese could forgive this war. Their country was literally raped yet today they dont have hatred in their hearts.
A strong nation doesn't need hate. Respect to the Vietnamese, brave men, the lot of them.
I'm the Vietnamese, my history teacher usually told my that the conflict is happened by the mistake of the US politicians not the Americans purpose, and their politician supported for the wrong side, didn't support for the Vietnamese so they lost the war but the lost can be healed, just forget animosity and be friend everyone will get benefits from peace
They don’t do that because they’re sacred that history is gonna repeat itself
Vietnam soldiers were heroes in my neighborhood .
God bless our Vietnam vets. Thank you!
Every veteran deserve the upmost respect for their services, friend or foe, they should be awarded and be know as heroes to their fellow countrymen
division veterans were truly Warriors no one should criticize these guys all the criticizing goes out the window when you're being shot at politics go out the window you're fighting for your life no questions
yeah, they are just following orders. Wait.....it sounds familiar doesn't it? Maybe it's in German?
@@TheMachenbindraft gave them little real choice other than go to prison. Soldiers meant nothing to the rich and the politicians who started us involvement
When your country is lying to you then Iam sorry this is not what you do .
If its not a cause I feel is worthy I will not serve but if the cause is worthy I will go! That's my opinion but much love and respect for these brave guys. Thank you
My grandpa went to nam, we called him shell shock Grandpa
I feel bad for both sides but the truth is vietnam were fighting to protect their freedom and independence from France and the US, america should have helped them seeing as their main value is freedom
Agreed
Stay calm and alert and take the right steps. Protection of legal rights, right. Do not let acts that cause difficulties, squeeze for the younger generation or other individuals

@@TheMachenbin They can't refuse, if they refuse to go to war, they are arrested, it happens in every damn country.
That's right,all of them were brave men who were just doing there job,just like the other men who fought there and in all other wars.
Just like the German soldier does during WW2
@@lan8401 please read the book "Ordinary Men"..
i wonder how do American veterans think about the Vietnam war? Do you regret anything? I'm vietnamese, and i regret so much!
Snoop what?? War can only affect you in youre in the frontlines? Narrow minded you.
Until now the Sentiments of Vietcong to American Still Boiling
if you want to blame anyone for this war, blame france not USA.
In Geneva, 1954, was signed the Geneva accords. They finalized the end of French colonial rule. These guaranteed that democratic elections would be held so the people of Vietnam could chose their own future and their own path in 1958. There were two choices; the pro-communist Ho Chi Minh and his northern government and the anti-communist south government of Bao Dai. The trouble from an American perspective were that if democratic elections were held, the communists would win. They would be elected legally. So the defenders of democracy and political freedom, USA, backed south Vietnam in withdrawing from the accords. That left the northern government that actually had the backing of the people no choice but go to war if they wanted to unite their country. Bluntly put, they were betrayed by the powers that should defend democracy, because of political fear of Ho Chi Minh and communism.
So blame lies with the USA. Blaming France overlooks the simple fact France was out of there in 1954. Had elections been held four years later as intended there would have been no war.
It was the USA blocking a democratic election in 1958 that sparked what is known to us as the Vietnam War. Going to war to stop the spread of Communism in 1961, in the Kennedy escalation. In hindsight the north won anyway, in the end they gained control of the entirety of Vietnam and today Vietnam is a prosperous and reasonably successful country.
French second invasion? Perhaps if you are talking about the return of the French in 1945 when the Japanese were kicked out. The First Indochina War, also known simply as the Indochina War, was the French getting kicked out. They never returned. The Second Indochina War, known as the Vietnam War, was the US invasion of Vietnam. There was no French second invasion after the First Indochina War.
Either way, blame for the Vietnam War, or the Second Indochina War, lies squarely with the USA, when they backed South Vietnam in stopping the elections in 1958. Had those been held Vietnam would have been unified without a major war. Blaming France after they were no longer involved, and war could be averted, ignores that the USA feared Communism so much that they not only arrested people in the USA for being Communist, despite the constitution vouching for political freedom, but also disregarded democracy when it suited them.
USA poisoned our people,bomb us even took control of our Southern political system,basically slaughtered our people while France only came to Vietnam for land and resources
Nah, I'm gonna blame the US.
still havent learned
hahaha the best comment I've read. Thumb up!
A lot of Vietnamese loves America now and are against their own government and communism in general.
Mikey Lejan If you ever lived here, you could feel it. When social media went viral (thanks to smart phones), people could get information from both sides and felt disgusted because all of the lies they had been taught for decades. Former Vietcong soldiers also got mad of the Vietnamese authority because corruption has been rapidly increased. In the past, communist authorities used to be called “the people’s servants”, now the people are their “milking cows”.
@@MinhNguyen-ff6xf I don't think that is true
We won't stupid to follow America to against our government and the Communism regime, only some few people are gonna follow America.
You want us to turn our backs on history and turn our backs on those who fought for our country in the war and consider the invaders as heroes?
Never stupid, u don't know American people protest against the war and support north vietnam and vietcong for peace.
@@duongthienbao8782his father used to serve as a US puppet solider probably
let's do 1 like = 1 billion respect to our soldier's
i mean no disrespect to any Nam vet that feels they need to go back there for whatever reason they might have .BUT for me i would never set foot in that shthole country again.
