I visited Ho Chi Min City (Saigon ) and nearly drop a tear when I was in the war museum.. I have a huge respect for Vietnamese people.. The resilience is unmatched!!!!!
@@user-hb2dv4ve6qthey don’t show the atrocities done by North Vietnam Communist regime in the north and the Viet Cong in the south. Look up Hue massacre 1968, and Land Reform 1954 in north Vietnam more than 170800 people killed.
As a Vietnamese person, I want to point out a very important aspect that was overlooked in the video: regarding the long-term effects of Agent Orange, some Vietnamese people call as dioxin toxin. The toxin affects the next generation of soldiers or civilians who were exposed and contaminated (quite popular), causing severe consequences for children born during peacetime who still endure immense suffering, such as genetic mutations, intellectual disabilities, paralysis, and disabilities,... They become a burden and a source of pain for their parents. The war has ended, but people still survive, enjoying peace, some have lost their comrades, most have lost their loved ones, and they live the rest of their lives with the duty of caring for their disabled children, just like their own non-healing pain, their defect life in all past, present and future... In my country, they have a name of this call: "Orange pain".
I am a young person from Vietnam, taught about the losses of the previous generations, with my grandpa having endured torture under French colonial rule. However, this does not make us harbor hatred towards any nation, not even those who waged wars in Vietnam. We understand that every nation harbors conflicting ideologies and there will always be groups supporting wars. We are also taught to cherish peace and to continue safeguarding it in our country. We hope that all nations on this planet will live in peace and achieve sustainable development.
That is a beautiful way to look at this! Please don't hate Americans...I am an American, as such, I do NOT agree with everything my government does or has done... Peace and blessings from the LORD Jesus Christ to you & your family Sir!
Wow, much respect to you and your people for having that mindset and I’m glad to hear you’re not taught hatred. We as well…( atleast in the northeastern U.S.) dont hold any anger towards your country. I hope for continued peace in the future as well!
People in my home country fought a war at the same time as the Vietnam War. We even tried to use some of the Vietnamese tactics. I wish our people thought like the Vietnamese because your country is developing fast while ours is plagued by bitter hatred.
@@davidschmidt270 There is no need to apologize for our government to the Vietnamese people. They beat our asses in Vietnam and they should be proud of that. They did to America what America did to the British to be independent. Also, Vietnamese people do not like vietcong. Vietnamese and America are close friends and one in the same. 🙏✌️
The Vietnamese people bravely fought and deserved their freedom, peace and to no more be disturbed by colonialists. Your way at looking at all this after whats been done to you makes it even more obvious you deserved to be free from the devils in american government and military.
I am Vietnamese. In Vietnam, we have a song that everyone knows how to sing: 'Although my life loves roses, the enemy forces me to hold a gun.' Our country never wants war, because we, more than anyone, understand how brutal and painful war is. It is heartbreaking to see bullets embedded in soldiers, no matter which side they are on. I pray for peace for both our countries forever
I’m not American but I wanna say sorry for what they have done. You have a beautiful country and even better people. I love vietnam and its people and am truly disgusted at what yous went through. I have so much respect for Vietnamese and their ability to stand up against world superpowers. Such happy and nice people always smiling and laughing. I have many Vietnamese friends I grew up with. 🙏🏽
I am from the UK. I have had the pleasure of visiting Vietnam on a number of occasions. One of our guides told us that he took a group of US veterans back to an area where they fought. They fell into conversation with some locals through him. It came about that they had been on opposite sides during one particular battle on a certain date. Amazing coincidence perhaps to just come across each other on the day they visited? A mutually respectable conversation took place, soldiers thrown into conflict, sharing their experiences. My wife and I love the country and the people.
The fortitude of the Vietnamese was amazing....they shot at us when ever they got an escape route stirred u OK the honest without getting stung....they were building booby traps and making the components out of what ever they found...they are amazing and deserve to run their country in the manner they choose....we referred to them as Mr VC and Mr NVA as a sign of respect for their fighting prowess. .I think about if America was occupied we would be getting in our share of jabs
look up mr john stryker meyer i think that may be the one your talking about theres a video of his meeting with vietnamese commander on the very scene of where they faced in battle near the borders of laos ,they guy was like i remember you u shot me and laughed it off together like gentlemen the verbal stories are insane both sides these guys are legends of their time still going out there reminisce reconcile together and trying to find what happened to the fallen mia trying to bring them home
My father was sent to fight in Vietnam. He came home a traumatized shell of himself addicted to drugs the rest of his life. He made me sware to him after 9/11 that I wasn't going to enlist because of what he saw. I know he didn't believe in what America did to Vietnam and I am truly sorry that my family ever set foot in the country. My grandfather was also in the military he served many years starting in ww2 and as a Lt. Col. in Korea. He wrote a book called Korean Tales. He was court marshalled for writing it but won his day in court. It brought to light some possible war crimes. He also wrote a novel called "show me a hero". I have a great respect for the military and every soldier. I just don't always agree with the wars or some of the things soldiers are asked to do.
Well said. Never forget that we enjoy the freedom to express our opposition to these wars. In Russia, criticising the war would land you in prison. Astonishingly, certain people admire their political system
A wonderful documentary. As a Vietnamese, my grandpa and uncles sacrificed and lost their lives in this war. I was deeply moved watching this and extremely proud to be resilient Vietnamese 🇻🇳 . Hope for peace worldwide 🇻🇳✌️
Vietnamese are tough and resilient people. I'm married to a Vietnamese woman and proud to have her and know about her country and culture. I dont know what the current generation of Vietnamese is like but people from her era 70s - 90s tough hard working! 🙏🏼
@@lifeabovetreelinewell we’d have to stop listening to the people that put us against one another, but in order to do that we must ignore our governments all at once and employ a shared set of rules and morals, making our government officials just men in a building once again i’ll probably get taken down for this comment but this is the one and only way to free the world, but even coming together seems far fetched
Are you proud of the utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie regime's continued robbing lands and homes of Vietnamese citizens? Are you proud of Vietnamese Commie government officials' lavishly dining on $100K per meal at Salt Bae restaurants while many Vietnamese elderlies and teens have been selling lottery tickets on the streets for $5 a day to survive? That dude To Lam is now even promoted to position of President of Commie Vietnam. Are you proud of Commie Vietnamese fraudsters' like VinFast spreading their lethality and deceptions to US, with its stock ticker VFS $93 at IPO and now $4? So proud, right comrade?
I'll tell you what they did even before America started the war. Vietcongs, supplied by Ho Chi Min, infiltrated South Vietnam and *killed* people. To terrorize South Vietnamese people, Vietcongs raided their village, slice open pregnant woman's belly and kill her just because she went out to vote, murdered the leader of the village, brought his 3,4 year old children and tortured them on the street, murder them, decapitate their limbs and hung it on the village war as a warning sign. They did things like that thousands of times. You ask old South Vietnamese people, They will remember kids going to school and coming back with her both hands amputated(because she went to school, Ho Chi Minh hated South Vietnamese people being educated under democratic regime). Ho Chi Min killed hundred thousands of Vietnamese people. They don't teach you that.
I served as a Marine infantry in Vietnam in 68-69.....Vietnam is a beautiful country and green as it can be...the people are very hard working in an agricultural society...they live in hooches with many generations in the same home ....they put a great emphasis on age and experience in life so the elderly are looked upon as resources and they are listened to for their resolution too problems that all farmers have worldwide....they are a tough people because they have been invaded and reinvaded for a couple hundred years...China,French,Japanese and the American have at one time or other been occupied Vietnam....they have kept their identity and now are now the fastest growing country in Asia.....wishing them success in their emerging as a nation....how can you you beat a people that refuse to be beaten
Thank you for your service. It’s one of the only place America has occupied you can still vacation as an American and not only be safe but be treated amazing. They’re friendly but fierce ppl.
The Vietnamese had been fighting invaders for a thousand years by the Vietnam War. They had fought the Chinese, the French, the Japanese and others before they fought the Americans.

Respect from a U.S. citizen who was never in the military. I watched this to gain a better understanding. P.S. I am now retired, but my boss for over a decade fled Vietnam as a child around 1972. He is very smart, kind and disciplined. His father was in the south Vietnamese military.
My wife is Vietnamese-American. Her parents lived through the war, came to America. She’s tough as nails. They’re absolutely nuts, in a good way. Nobody will understand these people’s durability until you meet them and live with them up close. ❤️
I married my best friend of over 30years and she’s Vietnamese, I love how loyal their family is, they look out for each no matter what…it’s been an amazing experience getting to know her massive family members and to hear all of their courageous stories about experiences from fleeing Vietnam to getting robbed by Thai pirates to living on Bidong Island .. By January 1979, there were 40,000 Vietnamese on the island and by June 1979 it was said to be the most densely populated place on earth with about 40,000 refugees crowded into a flat area hardly larger than a football field.
My first longtime GF was Vietnamese. Her and her brother were the first generation born in The US. They were amazing people and treated me very well even though I'm white. I had a rough homelife and lived with her and her family for a few years. Her mom would wake up at 5AM to cook me breakfast before work even after working in their restaurant until 12 or 1 in the morning. Super hard working people and very loyal. I hope they're doing well.
I was born in 1975, I found Vietnamese people to be so forgiving. No grudge is kept for the American and people from both sides of the conflict learned to heal and forgive. Vietnamese people are profoundly resilient.
We were taught that we could hate the US government at the time as much as we could, but we could not hate the American people, their protests to end the Vietnam War showed that they're just like us, we all want peace.
More than anyone else, we Vietnamese understand the true value of peace. We also know and understand that there were many American soldiers who were willing to shoot or injure themselves to avoid having to take up arms and go to war. We put the past aside, forgive but do not forget.
Dear brother Farhad the courage and bravery which our Afghan brothers showed against the cruelty of America and its allies is matchless. Love and respect from a Pakistani brother
Numa guerra todos perdem não há vencedores, só dor e sofrimento...Os vietnamitas tem meu apreço e respeito, por serem um povo aguerrido.. Parabéns pela postagem do vídeo..do Brasil..

I'm Gen X but my father fought in Vietnam and me growing up he never spoke a word about it. He spent the rest of his life as a working , reserved , quiet alcoholic that rarely would smile or chuckle. I believe this was caused by his time in the war and how he lived with it until passing away at age 59. The ironic thing is many of my friends happen to be Vietnamese both in the States and online still in Vietnam, so I found this documentary to be quite interesting.
@@benimadhavmohanty7426 Correct your math? If he was 19 in 1959, and passed away in 1999 he would have been 59 when he passed. Point is, you have no idea when he entered the war, what age he was, nor do you know what year he passed away, you just assume he passed recently. Please correct
My dad was a 75th Ranger in Vietnam (Army). One Uncle ( Marines). And another (Navy). So the Vietnam War is deeply impacted in our family. I salute all that had to go through that useless🫡
I was born well after the vietnam war but strangely enough it I can't get enough of the content. There's lots to be fascinated about and you're only scratching the surface, from how resilient civilians were there for decades when defending against French and eventually USA. It's shocking how we treat our troops when they return home with memories that will always haunt them. So much spent on war when we just neglect those that served. As i get older history keeps repeating itself and it's remarkably disappointing that we never learn because of a thirst for power. War. War never changes.
I just got back yesterday from Saigon I’m a Australian 🇦🇺 went to the tunnels went to the war museum and all I can say it was very sad for the Vietnamese people. It was very sad for The American soldiers and the Australian soldiers and any other soldiers involved along with the photographers that lost their life. It was just horrible for everyone but I will leave on this note. I will say the Vietnamese people are very lovely. People are encourage anyone that hasn’t been over to Vietnam, to visit their lovely country thanks . 😊
We fought a very clever and intelligent opponent in Vietnam. I commend them for coming together to save the village people underground! That garnishes so much damn respectful!! War is ugly. Love to the Vietnamese people from a US Army veteran’s son! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
All my Dad wanted to do was go to college and get a good job. He loved listening to Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, CCR, Marshall Tucker Band. I miss you Daddy.
Morrison took his daughter Emily, then one year of age, to the Pentagon, and either set her down or handed her off to someone in the crowd before setting himself ablaze. He died within two minutes of leaving in an ambulance for Fort Myer.[9] Morrison's reasons for taking Emily are not entirely known. However, Morrison's wife Anne later recalled, "Whether he thought of it that way or not, I think having Emily with him was a final and great comfort to Norman... [S]he was a powerful symbol of the children we were killing with our bombs and napalm - who didn't have parents to hold them in their arms."[10] In a letter he mailed to Welsh, Morrison reassured her of the faith in his act. "Know that I love thee ... but I must go to help the children of the priest's village". McNamara described Morrison's death as "a tragedy not only for his family but also for me and the country. It was an outcry against the killing that was destroying the lives of so many Vietnamese and American youth." He was survived by Anne Welsh and three children, Ben (who died of cancer in 1976), Christina and Emily.😢
@@anthonymoore3498 The USA was obsessed with the domino theory and thought that if Vietnam was Communist after the French left then other countries would follow including possibly India, Australia and New Zealand. As a result they supported a corrupt unpopular government the people didn’t want. A government that mistreated non Catholics, the poor and the peasants. The USA knew how bad the South’s government was but accepted it because it was anti communist.
What a waste of life! War deepened the divide of people, but peace unites. Nowadays, there's only one Germany and one Vietnam. Maybe someday only one Korea and one America.
@@sampantiliano That's fine, even with us fighting each other we still cleaned our country from the invaders. Let's not forget that technically the Vietnamese were fighting each other as well.
@@CheekyKhihuahua the country is under control of shia militias. americans have about 3k soldiers at most left in the country who are confined to 2-3 bases and regularly get bombed. for all intents and purposes, the war is over. theres just a countdown timer till the invaders leave. only a matter of time at this point also, "training and assisting"? lol
My uncle volunteer for the Marine Corps in 1966. He was hit by shrapnel from a mine and was left a paraplegic until he died in 2023. He lost the use of both legs, his right arm, and suffered an anoxic brain injury from dying several times on the operating table and his brain not getting enough oxygen. This war was totally pointless. And people still suffer from it to this day. Our government should be ashamed.
I agree100% normally I would hesitate to say a war was pointless because it feels kind of like I'm disparaging the fighting soldiers sacrifices but this was a pointless war and 58000+ Americans died for no good reason. The Vietnam war is the polar opposite of WW2.
Vietnam, never did 1 thing to the UNITED STATES. SO DISGUSTING THIS AND ALL. THE WORST CONTROL OVER A COUNTRY WAS ROME TAKING OVER OVER JUDAH AND KILLING: JESUS: ...THAT DAY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST CONTROL, BUT BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T TRUST JESUS, TODAY...WAR AND KILLING WILL CONTINUE.
Vietnamese people have a profound understanding of the pain and loss wrought by war. Over nearly 1000 years, they endured Chinese domination, followed by a century of conflict against the French and Americans, as well as the 1979 border war with China. While documentary films accurately depict aspects of Vietnam's history, but it is only a small part of Vietnam's history. War, in its wake, leaves only devastation and anguish for all parties involved. That's why, in times of peace, Vietnam always wanted reconciliation and goodwill with all countries in the world. Hope for peace in the world🤝
The current Vietnamese Commie is a puppet regime installed by Commie China. That's why it often brutally suppressed any anti-China protests in Vietnam, and only strategically let these protests proceed on occasions to remind Commie China that it controlled the Vietnam population for its master. All true.
That was/is an excellent documentary about the Vietnam War. It was narrated very well, & it had good testimonials from people who lived through & were involved in the conflict.
I am from the country of Algeria 🇩🇿 North Africa We salute and appreciate the resistant and brave Vietnamese people Our circumstances are similar My country Algeria faced the French occupation 🇲🇫 The French attacked us in the year 1830 and occupied our country in 130 A year until 1962 when the barbaric occupation withdrew They killed many of my people about 6 million Algerian people and they conducted nuclear tests in the Algerian desert where many Algerians were afflicted with cancer and deformities But the Algerian people despite the few weapons they possessed resisted the French bravely and killed many of their soldiers just as happened in Vietnam

I served as a US Marine (5 Jan 1969-13 Aug 1970)--Through the years I have learned and taken a completely different perspective than what was presented to us back in that era. The prevailing ideology of that period is what it is and cannot be changed. I regret that so many lives on both sides were negatively affected, not only those who died, but those who were physically maimed and mentally traumatized for life. I feel as much anguish for those we fought against as I do for those who fought with us and have the same respect for all.

I grew up facing this war, watching the news daily, the Government telling us we lost 50 men today but we killed 400 VC…day after day, year after year. I began thinking “how many do they have?” Finally, facing the draft to be in a war, not wanting to be the last guy KIA, I enlisted in the USAF. I saw and experienced the war without seeing combat…as the American people turned on the uniform, the only thing they could disdain…and they did. The looks of hatred, being accused of being “baby killers etc”, spoken softly so we alone could hear them. I wore the uniform only on base, wearing a cap to hide my GI haircut. 20 years later at a training session for work, Viet Nam vets were asked to stand and were welcomed home and thanked. I cried. My heart aches when I think about the devastation.

I am very sorry about his death, at least he was a brave man who dared to stay and face defeat, not run away like other army generals. To respect the deceased, we will not discuss why he was held for 10 years.

As a teenager in the 60s and 70s in Vancouver 🇨🇦, I watched the Vietnam War on the 6:00 news every night. It was quite graphic and disturbing seeing wounded soldiers. They always finished with a body count that was usually 10 to 1 in favor of the US. TV news ever since has been heavily censored.
that was propaganda...I spoke to an old soldier, he said the Vietnamese had tunnels, and would clear their men prior to the smoke clearing, so they couldn't count the men, the old man, may he rest in peace, told me, he never got close to anyone because they lost so many men

I took a young Vietnamese girl out on a date in Canada back when i was in my 20s, like 10 years ago. Her English was rough but she was the sweetest thing. She was surprised at my knowledge of her country. We just sat by the lake and talked. Told her what its like over here. It was a really nice time. Hope shes doing well. She was a doll.
@@jonathankenton7182 If you watch documentaries about Vietnam today it has come a long way. Although it calls itself communist like China it’s capitalist in some ways. It is much more industrialised now and has millionaires just as China does.
Actually this isn't the case, this WAS an invasion of the south by the north to impose communism on them. The VC were a minority and couldn't win. It was Russia, China and North Vietnam that ultimately beat the south.
Oh yes, the sheer fanaticism of the NVA was terrifying. Every bit as willing to die as the Japanese, how do you fight enemy that responds to 10,000 men crushed by sending 10,000 more? The worst thing about this bloody tragic mess was, all the politicians from Johnson on down, realized such a war was unwinnable but sent Americans anyway. Didn't care that the mess was basically a civil war, with limited support from the dreaded communists, and not really about more communist expansion. The proof of this, is that in 1979 when the Viets invaded China's ally Cambodia, the Chinese launched a huge punitive cross-border invasion of Vietnam just to make the point they were displeased.
Vietnamese people didn't unite, as Vietnam War was a civil war between the free and prosperous Republic of South Vietnam backed by the free world and the wretched, totalitarian, and bloodthirsty North Vietnamese Commie regime backed by global Communist giants Commie Soviet and Commie China. It's not different than Korean War which was similarly a civil war between freedom loving South Korea versus the North Korean Commie terrorists also backed by the same global Commie butchers Soviet and China, both collectively slaughtered more than 100 million in their own countries alone. There is nothing imperial about American defense of the free world against Communist disease, an existential threat to world peace and a stain on humanity. US helped Western Europe and Japan after WW2, just like US helped Korea. All of these nations prospered. Similarly, US helped Vietnam but only military outcome was different due to its eventual cut of support. In contrast, all the vassal states of Commie Soviet and China crumbled and poor, with massive exodus of citizens escaping brutality and enslavement by utterly corrupt and barbarian Communist dictators, including those Commie China's puppets running Vietnamese Commie regime, still ongoing, evidenced by 39 dead Vietnamese immigrants found in UK container truck on the news, and that's only what's been reported, as the real figure is much higher.
I met a man at the mall who fought in this war. He told me about the tunnels and agent orange. His health was affected by it. He said his crew declined to fly and spray the agent orange. That plane was taken down the next day. Good thing he declined. Nice man, seemed like we talked for hours. Take care Bobby!
I was a kid reading about the war in newspaper. Headlines used to be " 500 sorties in one day by USAF. " " Carpet Bombing of Hanoi". Yet the brave Vietnamese never gave up. Americans were kicked out.
Very good video with good contribution from local warriors and victims. Eventually, more will be disclosed. I visited Vietnam many times for business and holidays. The era of Vietnam people progressing is imminent. Solid resilient people.
I was born in 1969, I was an infant, but as I am a 55yr old man today, I have the utmost respect for all who gave there lives for us all today God bless the Dead, The missing and the living. ❤
More than 600 years ago, we Vietnamese had a campaign (Tot Dong - Chuc Dong). There, 6000 Vietnamese soldiers were surrounded by 80000 - 100000 Chinese soldiers and as a result, only more than 10000 Chinese soldiers successfully retreated from the battle. That was just one of many glorious victories of our Vietnamese people. We are friendly to everyone, we are gentle, but we cannot be defeated by a war.
No offense, but that’s the dumbest shit ever! Why would you apologize for someone else’s actions? If it wasn’t for your ancestors, you wouldn’t be here!
I went to Vietnam last March and visited the weapons cache in HCM shown in this video as well as a day trip to the Cu Chi tunnel system, an amazing experience! And yes, those tunnels are extremely narrow even after modifications to accommodate westerners.
Outstanding documentary 👍 many thanks to all those involved in the making of this film it's a shame history repeats itself mankind never seems to learn from its past mistakes 🤷
An agricultural chemical company based in New Plymouth North Island of New Zealand on the west coast of New Zealand produced Agent Orange for the US Government. The company also dumped lots of 44 gallon drums of the chemical in and around New Plymouth. The family that owned that company are totally responsible for the environmental impact on Vietnam but also the birth of vietnamese children without arms legs and so on. Crimes of humanity of the worst kind. I have been to Vietnam and witnessed myself the devastation of the environment where Agent Orange was dropped nothing grows there anymore. I have seen adults without limbs and young children that are still affected by Agent Orange.
Genocide and crimes against humanity were committed and all protagonist including politicians, commanders and soldiers are all responsible for all the crimes committed individually.
@@KAMNA_Muriuki No, this is mostly on the leaders. Soldiers were often there against their will and had no idea what they are dropping. They most likely knew: "It makes the streets clear from the jungle so we dont get ambushed" and thats it. Probably not even the militaries knew from the beginning. Most likely the company knew it all and maybe SOME officials in the US. But it takes time and the companies are surely not waving around how insanely toxic their product is. Rather the opposite - "Yes Mr- President, its so safe, infants can eat it, no problem"
yes we still remember your presence in Vietnam War, and I heard rumors about your Australian soldiers' kind-heartedness towards our Vietnamese civilians. Your way of fighting was respectable.
looks like australians didn't learn from Gallipoli and went into vietnam and nothing also learned from vietnam and sent soldiers to Iraq ,evil moves to using advantage of geographically hard to reach.. lets see if they learned from all of those mistakes
I love Vietnam 🇻🇳! Yes war is terrible, but as of 2024 Vietnam is one of the best countries to live and or visit. I been there more than 10 times, every time im there is always something new. Great history, great culture, great people, and one of the beautiful countries.
I am a Vietnamese citizen, and in our country, there is only one war. It is the resistance against the invaders. Never refer to that war by the name: the Vietnam War.
I'm Australian, I'd prefer to live there after going there, apart from the heat, and we get 42 degree days, wow it's hot, but I felt accepted and free, people taught me to love my life more, only place I'd rather be.

We didn’t lose they lost you’re telling me that we only lost 3000 members while you lost 80,000 members and we lost? Make that make sense. I’m waiting you make it make sense, you’re telling me suicide bombing your own children, causing 300+ thousand deaths from suicide bombs is winning no… went into a country rapid killing everyone taking everyone hostage doing everything you possibly could while the country who didn’t give a shit about the country. They went helped killed almost there entire fucking whatever you wanna call it, terrorist group got slaughtered in every single fight they were in. We never lost a single fight. Us pulling out of a country we weren’t supposed to be helping it to begin with doesn’t mean we lost, it means you lost your country because you’re to defend it. You had to have four other nations come help you.
I was reading one of the “SOG” books. It was a 8 to 12 man squad vs 1 or 2 NVA divisions. The NVA were hunting this SOG unit in the hills of this mountain. When night time fall the SOG operators call in “Spectre” gunships to terrorize and destroy the NVA on the ground. Mind you, SOG had these gunships on a rotation pattern so when one gunship ran out ammunition another gunship would roll in and so on through out the night. During the lull in the rotation the author who was involved in this particular operation on the ground spoke about how all he could hear was “Enemy quietly, but admirably dragged away their dead. I couldn’t hear a sound of pain.” Being an American myself I could help but respect the fighting ferocity of the Vietnamese people.
I'm from Germany....we know enough about the shit of a War. Generations of us growing up with a hard childhood. My Dad met my Grandpa at the age of 7 years when my Grandpa came back from a Russian Gulag in 1949 after 5 years of arrest. We are farmers with huge families in history, not interested in politics or War. But at one point the Nazis take all they can get to waste them for the shit. My family lost 7 Men just my two Grandpa and some cousins of my Grandma survived this shit war.I hate all this shit and feel sad for my father he was a good guy but a rude alcoholic because of his childhood...I was beaten a lot when I was young because he learned the same way to be a "good " boy and Men later. Its just one sad story but many families in this world share this experiences. Just fucking politics wants a War and didn't care about the huge amounts of casualties. Make friendships not wars ❤

As a Vietnamese person, I want to point out a very important aspect that was overlooked in the video: regarding the long-term effects of Agent Orange, some Vietnamese people call as dioxin toxin. The toxin affects the next generation of soldiers or civilians who were exposed and contaminated (quite popular), causing severe consequences for children born during peacetime who still endure immense suffering, such as genetic mutations, intellectual disabilities, paralysis, and disabilities,... They become a burden and a source of pain for their parents. The war has ended, but people still survive, enjoying peace, some have lost their comrades, most have lost their loved ones, and they live the rest of their lives with the duty of caring for their disabled children, just like their own non-healing pain, their defect life in all past, present and future... In my country, they have a name of this call: "Orange pain".
US is the biggest enemy of people in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Serya, Plastien, Iran, Japan and in Pakistan.

I am a young person from Vietnam, taught about the losses of the previous generations, with my grandpa having endured torture under French colonial rule. However, this does not make us harbor hatred towards any nation, not even those who waged wars in Vietnam. We understand that every nation harbors conflicting ideologies and there will always be groups supporting wars.
We are also taught to cherish peace and to continue safeguarding it in our country.
We hope that all nations on this planet will live in peace and achieve sustainable development.
That is a beautiful way to look at this!
Please don't hate Americans...I am an American, as such, I do NOT agree with everything my government does or has done...
Peace and blessings from the LORD Jesus Christ to you & your family Sir!
Wow, much respect to you and your people for having that mindset and I’m glad to hear you’re not taught hatred. We as well…( atleast in the northeastern U.S.) dont hold any anger towards your country. I hope for continued peace in the future as well!
People in my home country fought a war at the same time as the Vietnam War. We even tried to use some of the Vietnamese tactics. I wish our people thought like the Vietnamese because your country is developing fast while ours is plagued by bitter hatred.
@@davidschmidt270 There is no need to apologize for our government to the Vietnamese people. They beat our asses in Vietnam and they should be proud of that. They did to America what America did to the British to be independent. Also, Vietnamese people do not like vietcong. Vietnamese and America are close friends and one in the same. 🙏✌️
The Vietnamese people bravely fought and deserved their freedom, peace and to no more be disturbed by colonialists. Your way at looking at all this after whats been done to you makes it even more obvious you deserved to be free from the devils in american government and military.
I am Vietnamese. In Vietnam, we have a song that everyone knows how to sing: 'Although my life loves roses, the enemy forces me to hold a gun.' Our country never wants war, because we, more than anyone, understand how brutal and painful war is. It is heartbreaking to see bullets embedded in soldiers, no matter which side they are on. I pray for peace for both our countries forever
I’m not American but I wanna say sorry for what they have done. You have a beautiful country and even better people. I love vietnam and its people and am truly disgusted at what yous went through.

I am from the UK. I have had the pleasure of visiting Vietnam on a number of occasions. One of our guides told us that he took a group of US veterans back to an area where they fought. They fell into conversation with some locals through him. It came about that they had been on opposite sides during one particular battle on a certain date. Amazing coincidence perhaps to just come across each other on the day they visited? A mutually respectable conversation took place, soldiers thrown into conflict, sharing their experiences. My wife and I love the country and the people.
The fortitude of the Vietnamese was amazing....they shot at us when ever they got an escape route stirred u OK the honest without getting stung....they were building booby traps and making the components out of what ever they found...they are amazing and deserve to run their country in the manner they choose....we referred to them as Mr VC and Mr NVA as a sign of respect for their fighting prowess. .I think about if America was occupied we would be getting in our share of jabs

My father was sent to fight in Vietnam. He came home a traumatized shell of himself addicted to drugs the rest of his life. He made me sware to him after 9/11 that I wasn't going to enlist because of what he saw. I know he didn't believe in what America did to Vietnam and I am truly sorry that my family ever set foot in the country. My grandfather was also in the military he served many years starting in ww2 and as a Lt. Col. in Korea. He wrote a book called Korean Tales. He was court marshalled for writing it but won his day in court. It brought to light some possible war crimes. He also wrote a novel called "show me a hero". I have a great respect for the military and every soldier. I just don't always agree with the wars or some of the things soldiers are asked to do.
Well said. Never forget that we enjoy the freedom to express our opposition to these wars. In Russia, criticising the war would land you in prison. Astonishingly, certain people admire their political system

Are you proud of the utterly corrupt and brutal Vietnamese Commie regime's continued robbing lands and homes of Vietnamese citizens? Are you proud of Vietnamese Commie government officials' lavishly dining on $100K per meal at Salt Bae restaurants while many Vietnamese elderlies and teens have been selling lottery tickets on the streets for $5 a day to survive? That dude To Lam is now even promoted to position of President of Commie Vietnam. Are you proud of Commie Vietnamese fraudsters' like VinFast spreading their lethality and deceptions to US, with its stock ticker VFS $93 at IPO and now $4? So proud, right comrade?
I'll tell you what they did even before America started the war.
Vietcongs, supplied by Ho Chi Min, infiltrated South Vietnam and *killed* people.
To terrorize South Vietnamese people, Vietcongs raided their village, slice open pregnant woman's belly and kill her just because she went out to vote, murdered the leader of the village, brought his 3,4 year old children and tortured them on the street, murder them, decapitate their limbs and hung it on the village war as a warning sign.
They did things like that thousands of times.
You ask old South Vietnamese people, They will remember kids going to school and coming back with her both hands amputated(because she went to school, Ho Chi Minh hated South Vietnamese people being educated under democratic regime).
Ho Chi Min killed hundred thousands of Vietnamese people. They don't teach you that.
I served as a Marine infantry in Vietnam in 68-69.....Vietnam is a beautiful country and green as it can be...the people are very hard working in an agricultural society...they live in hooches with many generations in the same home ....they put a great emphasis on age and experience in life so the elderly are looked upon as resources and they are listened to for their resolution too problems that all farmers have worldwide....they are a tough people because they have been invaded and reinvaded for a couple hundred years...China,French,Japanese and the American have at one time or other been occupied Vietnam....they have kept their identity and now are now the fastest growing country in Asia.....wishing them success in their emerging as a nation....how can you you beat a people that refuse to be beaten

I married my best friend of over 30years and she’s Vietnamese, I love how loyal their family is, they look out for each no matter what…it’s been an amazing experience getting to know her massive family members and to hear all of their courageous stories about experiences from fleeing Vietnam to getting robbed by Thai pirates to living on Bidong Island .. By January 1979, there were 40,000 Vietnamese on the island and by June 1979 it was said to be the most densely populated place on earth with about 40,000 refugees crowded into a flat area hardly larger than a football field.
My first longtime GF was Vietnamese. Her and her brother were the first generation born in The US. They were amazing people and treated me very well even though I'm white. I had a rough homelife and lived with her and her family for a few years. Her mom would wake up at 5AM to cook me breakfast before work even after working in their restaurant until 12 or 1 in the morning. Super hard working people and very loyal. I hope they're doing well.
I was born in 1975, I found Vietnamese people to be so forgiving. No grudge is kept for the American and people from both sides of the conflict learned to heal and forgive. Vietnamese people are profoundly resilient.
Absoluteky. My experience teaching in vietnam was a good one. No animosity i coukd feel.
We were taught that we could hate the US government at the time as much as we could, but we could not hate the American people, their protests to end the Vietnam War showed that they're just like us, we all want peace.
More than anyone else, we Vietnamese understand the true value of peace. We also know and understand that there were many American soldiers who were willing to shoot or injure themselves to avoid having to take up arms and go to war. We put the past aside, forgive but do not forget.

My dad was a 75th Ranger in Vietnam (Army). One Uncle ( Marines). And another (Navy). So the Vietnam War is deeply impacted in our family. I salute all that had to go through that useless🫡
I was born well after the vietnam war but strangely enough it I can't get enough of the content. There's lots to be fascinated about and you're only scratching the surface, from how resilient civilians were there for decades when defending against French and eventually USA. It's shocking how we treat our troops when they return home with memories that will always haunt them. So much spent on war when we just neglect those that served. As i get older history keeps repeating itself and it's remarkably disappointing that we never learn because of a thirst for power. War. War never changes.
I just got back yesterday from Saigon I’m a Australian 🇦🇺 went to the tunnels went to the war museum and all I can say it was very sad for the Vietnamese people. It was very sad for The American soldiers and the Australian soldiers and any other soldiers involved along with the photographers that lost their life. It was just horrible for everyone but I will leave on this note. I will say the Vietnamese people are very lovely. People are encourage anyone that hasn’t been over to Vietnam, to visit their lovely country thanks . 😊

Morrison took his daughter Emily, then one year of age, to the Pentagon, and either set her down or handed her off to someone in the crowd before setting himself ablaze. He died within two minutes of leaving in an ambulance for Fort Myer.[9]
Morrison's reasons for taking Emily are not entirely known. However, Morrison's wife Anne later recalled, "Whether he thought of it that way or not, I think having Emily with him was a final and great comfort to Norman...

In a letter he mailed to Welsh, Morrison reassured her of the faith in his act. "Know that I love thee ... but I must go to help the children of the priest's village". McNamara described Morrison's death as "a tragedy not only for his family but also for me and the country. It was an outcry against the killing that was destroying the lives of so many Vietnamese and American youth." He was survived by Anne Welsh and three children, Ben (who died of cancer in 1976), Christina and Emily.😢
It is an additional tradedgy that America did not acknowledge the reason for the exit of the French. That it was that it was not a winnable war!

The USA was obsessed with the domino theory and thought that if Vietnam was Communist after the French left then other countries would follow including possibly India, Australia and New Zealand.
As a result they supported a corrupt unpopular government the people didn’t want. A government that mistreated non Catholics, the poor and the peasants.
The USA knew how bad the South’s government was but accepted it because it was anti communist.
French are just loosers on any war
What a waste of life! War deepened the divide of people, but peace unites.
Nowadays, there's only one Germany and one Vietnam. Maybe someday only one Korea and one America.

My uncle volunteer for the Marine Corps in 1966. He was hit by shrapnel from a mine and was left a paraplegic until he died in 2023. He lost the use of both legs, his right arm, and suffered an anoxic brain injury from dying several times on the operating table and his brain not getting enough oxygen. This war was totally pointless. And people still suffer from it to this day. Our government should be ashamed.
I agree100% normally I would hesitate to say a war was pointless because it feels kind of like I'm disparaging the fighting soldiers sacrifices but this was a pointless war and 58000+ Americans died for no good reason. The Vietnam war is the polar opposite of WW2.

Vietnamese people have a profound understanding of the pain and loss wrought by war. Over nearly 1000 years, they endured Chinese domination, followed by a century of conflict against the French and Americans, as well as the 1979 border war with China.
While documentary films accurately depict aspects of Vietnam's history, but it is only a small part of Vietnam's history.
War, in its wake, leaves only devastation and anguish for all parties involved. That's why, in times of peace, Vietnam always wanted reconciliation and goodwill with all countries in the world.
Hope for peace in the world🤝
THEY are LOOSERS,,, NO LIBERTY NOW,, fool,,,
The current Vietnamese Commie is a puppet regime installed by Commie China. That's why it often brutally suppressed any anti-China protests in Vietnam, and only strategically let these protests proceed on occasions to remind Commie China that it controlled the Vietnam population for its master. All true.

That was/is an excellent documentary about the Vietnam War. It was narrated very well, & it had good testimonials from people who lived through & were involved in the conflict.

I served as a US Marine (5 Jan 1969-13 Aug 1970)--Through the years I have learned and taken a completely different perspective than what was presented to us back in that era. The prevailing ideology of that period is what it is and cannot be changed. I regret that so many lives on both sides were negatively affected, not only those who died, but those who were physically maimed and mentally traumatized for life. I feel as much anguish for those we fought against as I do for those who fought with us and have the same respect for all.

I grew up facing this war, watching the news daily, the Government telling us we lost 50 men today but we killed 400 VC…day after day, year after year. I began thinking “how many do they have?” Finally, facing the draft to be in a war, not wanting to be the last guy KIA, I enlisted in the USAF. I saw and experienced the war without seeing combat…as the American people turned on the uniform, the only thing they could disdain…and they did. The looks of hatred, being accused of being “baby killers etc”, spoken softly so we alone could hear them. I wore the uniform only on base, wearing a cap to hide my GI haircut. 20 years later at a training session for work, Viet Nam vets were asked to stand and were welcomed home and thanked. I cried. My heart aches when I think about the devastation.
We had a whole nation to fight at that time
I joined the Marines at the age of 17 in 1962 right out of high school. I went to Vietnam 🇻🇳 for my first of 3 tours in 1964. I walk in 3 times but only walked out once.

As a teenager in the 60s and 70s in Vancouver 🇨🇦, I watched the Vietnam War on the 6:00 news every night. It was quite graphic and disturbing seeing wounded soldiers. They always finished with a body count that was usually 10 to 1 in favor of the US. TV news ever since has been heavily censored.
that was propaganda...I spoke to an old soldier, he said the Vietnamese had tunnels, and would clear their men prior to the smoke clearing, so they couldn't count the men, the old man, may he rest in peace, told me, he never got close to anyone because they lost so many men

What makes a nation unstoppable is its people being United. They would've never gave up, they would've fought to the last.
Actually this isn't the case, this WAS an invasion of the south by the north to impose communism on them. The VC were a minority and couldn't win. It was Russia, China and North Vietnam that ultimately beat the south.
tell that to Japan in WW2 .they gave up .
Oh yes, the sheer fanaticism of the NVA was terrifying. Every bit as willing to die as the Japanese, how do you fight enemy that responds to 10,000 men crushed by sending 10,000 more?
The worst thing about this bloody tragic mess was, all the politicians from Johnson on down, realized such a war was unwinnable but sent Americans anyway. Didn't care that the mess was basically a civil war, with limited support from the dreaded communists, and not really about more communist expansion. The proof of this, is that in 1979 when the Viets invaded China's ally Cambodia, the Chinese launched a huge punitive cross-border invasion of Vietnam just to make the point they were displeased.
united? Vietnam War was a Civil War. Don't be fooled by the propaganda.
Vietnamese people didn't unite, as Vietnam War was a civil war between the free and prosperous Republic of South Vietnam backed by the free world and the wretched, totalitarian, and bloodthirsty North Vietnamese Commie regime backed by global Communist giants Commie Soviet and Commie China. It's not different than Korean War which was similarly a civil war between freedom loving South Korea versus the North Korean Commie terrorists also backed by the same global Commie butchers Soviet and China, both collectively slaughtered more than 100 million in their own countries alone. There is nothing imperial about American defense of the free world against Communist disease, an existential threat to world peace and a stain on humanity. US helped Western Europe and Japan after WW2, just like US helped Korea. All of these nations prospered. Similarly, US helped Vietnam but only military outcome was different due to its eventual cut of support. In contrast, all the vassal states of Commie Soviet and China crumbled and poor, with massive exodus of citizens escaping brutality and enslavement by utterly corrupt and barbarian Communist dictators, including those Commie China's puppets running Vietnamese Commie regime, still ongoing, evidenced by 39 dead Vietnamese immigrants found in UK container truck on the news, and that's only what's been reported, as the real figure is much higher.

An agricultural chemical company based in New Plymouth North Island of New Zealand on the west coast of New Zealand produced Agent Orange for the US Government. The company also dumped lots of 44 gallon drums of the chemical in and around New Plymouth. The family that owned that company are totally responsible for the environmental impact on Vietnam but also the birth of vietnamese children without arms legs and so on. Crimes of humanity of the worst kind. I have been to Vietnam and witnessed myself the devastation of the environment where Agent Orange was dropped nothing grows there anymore. I have seen adults without limbs and young children that are still affected by Agent Orange.
Genocide and crimes against humanity were committed and all protagonist including politicians, commanders and soldiers are all responsible for all the crimes committed individually.

@@KAMNA_Muriuki No, this is mostly on the leaders. Soldiers were often there against their will and had no idea what they are dropping. They most likely knew: "It makes the streets clear from the jungle so we dont get ambushed" and thats it. Probably not even the militaries knew from the beginning. Most likely the company knew it all and maybe SOME officials in the US. But it takes time and the companies are surely not waving around how insanely toxic their product is. Rather the opposite - "Yes Mr- President, its so safe, infants can eat it, no problem"

@@TruthPrevails24 who's in charge of afghanistan now?? Yep the same guys that were before the us invasion... There is a reason why Afghanistan is called the graveyard of empires.
Alexander the great: failed
The british empire: failed
The soviet union: failed
The usa: failed....
Don't you know the afghan saying, : "you might have the watches, but we have the time". Look it up,
@@zenger74 nope, see this is what you people that stay on social media too much don’t understand so you’re telling me that Afghanistan is America then because that means Afghanistan took over America which means our war was lost, but you’re not you’re talking about Afghanistan a country that we don’t give a shit about that we should’ve never helped lost. We didn’t lose they lost you’re telling me that we only lost 3000 members while you lost 80,000 members and we lost? Make that make sense. I’m waiting you make it make sense, you’re telling me suicide bombing your own children, causing 300+ thousand deaths from suicide bombs is winning no… went into a country rapid killing everyone taking everyone hostage doing everything you possibly could while the country who didn’t give a shit about the country. They went helped killed almost there entire fucking whatever you wanna call it, terrorist group got slaughtered in every single fight they were in. We never lost a single fight.
Us pulling out of a country we weren’t supposed to be helping it to begin with doesn’t mean we lost, it means you lost your country because you’re to defend it. You had to have four other nations come help you.
I was reading one of the “SOG” books. It was a 8 to 12 man squad vs 1 or 2 NVA divisions. The NVA were hunting this SOG unit in the hills of this mountain. When night time fall the SOG operators call in “Spectre” gunships to terrorize and destroy the NVA on the ground. Mind you, SOG had these gunships on a rotation pattern so when one gunship ran out ammunition another gunship would roll in and so on through out the night. During the lull in the rotation the author who was involved in this particular operation on the ground spoke about how all he could hear was “Enemy quietly, but admirably dragged away their dead. I couldn’t hear a sound of pain.” Being an American myself I could help but respect the fighting ferocity of the Vietnamese people.
I'm from Germany....we know enough about the shit of a War.
Generations of us growing up with a hard childhood. My Dad met my Grandpa at the age of 7 years when my Grandpa came back from a Russian Gulag in 1949 after 5 years of arrest.
We are farmers with huge families in history, not interested in politics or War. But at one point the Nazis take all they can get to waste them for the shit.
My family lost 7 Men just my two Grandpa and some cousins of my Grandma survived this shit war.I hate all this shit and feel sad for my father he was a good guy but a rude alcoholic because of his childhood...I was beaten a lot when I was young because he learned the same way to be a "good " boy and Men later. Its just one sad story but many families in this world share this experiences.
Just fucking politics wants a War and didn't care about the huge amounts of casualties.
Make friendships not wars ❤
Well said.....
But for Palestine you Germans are again standing on the wrong side, as always.
