Great to hear another perspective of the theatre of operations in south east asia... Usually based in Vietnam CCN CCC and CCS. But Thailand... Very interesting thanks 👌
Interesting interview. Thanks for sharing. I don't agree on the war having possibly been won by the use of ww2 strategy, though. When LBJ sent American troops into combat, RVN wasn't consulted at all. They abhorred America entering the war because they understood how nationalistic locals would see it: as a foreign invasion. It was a propaganda coup for the VC in the South. If America had rolled through Vietnam like they did in Europe after Normandy, resistance would have continued just like during the French colonial rule. It would have been a temporary victory and the corrupt RVN government would have been seen as a puppet regime, controlled by a foreign power. Let's also not forget that RVN was a dictatorship that used torture and never enjoyed popular support outside of Saigon. Just my two cents. We'll never know for sure, will we?
Exactly what JFK feared. That was the very reason we should have stayed out. The cost in deaths and injuries should never have been paid. Ukraine could result in times XXX cost.
War manifests the power and brutality of mankind. Sometimes it seems it does something good and at other times it doesn't. Only God can make war in righteousness. He will bring in his kingdom. Someday Jesus Christ will be seen as the most righteous and powerful king.

As a Vietnam/Draft resistor...I don't think what you said was just your "two cents". It was truth and reality.
@@williephosphorus The US will fund Ukraine. It is their best interest.
Cool interview. Thank you for your service Sir
My dog starts barking like that ...he's getting the spray bottlr
God bless sir
He looks pretty damn good for his age and all the stress he must’ve gone through over there
What a shame. Dog. Barking and someone writing on a sheet of paper? Little audio blips really take away from the story.

Parts of his story sounds like B.S.!!! Started when he spoke about functions and details of Green Beret training..
What year did you go through Green Beret Training?
@@gingerreeves2850 what year was yours?
