Does that include the !4th Galician Division of the Waffen SS (formed of Ukrainian Volunteers). Me, I rode with the 1st Cav in Tay Ninh Province, RSVN. gawd that was so long ago, just yesterday.
@@NoLadderI recall a study spanning the 70s to the late 2010s recording the repeating of notes and tones in popular music. There was a very noticeable and rapid spike in songs sounding the same, and I can imagine it’s only gotten worse since then. Graduated from a bucket of crap to a quick-open pouch of thrice digested slop.
Thnks for your service. My wish is that you were not left with PTSD and that you experience happiness and good health for the rest of your life. Respect.
I was a River Rat on the Vam Co Dong and we had a Teac reel to reel with 15' Sansui speakers blasting these tunes as we patrolled. Charlie always knew where we were anyway, so the loud rock n roll didn't really matter. We Gotta Get Outta This Place was our theme song. Ben Luc, Vietnam 1969
I was there at Ben Luc, vietnam 1969, I used to go down to where you guys would tie up at. First thing I ate there in the small mess hall was Lobster that they would catch right on the river, so cool, I had a buddy that met this girl that worked in mess hall and she needed some help at her house, so would go with him and haul sand and whatever else needed to be done. Being from Lousiana of all things noodles shrimp so good. I was blessed. Nice to see someone else from that time who was at Ben Luc. God Blessings on you.
It was a war that could never be won sadly families on both sides suffered and not only did the states lose the war it was really bad for the veterans on both sides 🙏🙏
Been there, done that, lived to tell about it. 1st Bn, 7th Air Cav, 1st AirCav Div. '71-'72. GaryOwen. Now, I'm an old man enjoying the music I grew up listening to on CKLW in Detroit, Michigan, baby, and later on that FM station outside Ft. Knox, Ky! So long ago. Oh, yah...F--k Westmoreland, that lying Sob! He kept the war going with his lies!
@joemamma4758 He kind of was lol. General Patton Jr, had more progress and followed the instructions of the New U.S President to help bring the war to a better end for withdrawal plus the Invasion of Cambodia which Eliminated vast weapons caches on the border massively set the North Back.
I lost count of how many funerals I went to between '65 and '69. When this music plays I can still see the faces of the mothers and fathers of the dead fading in and out of my mind. I joined the Navy in '69 rather than be drafted and was assigned to work in communication intelligence (NSA). Peace and rest to those who didn't get to take the big bird back to the states.
as a retired army vet and someone who served on three deployments in Iraq, I know all to well the difference of someone being alive one minute and the next being killed, war really has no rhyme or reason of who lives and who dies. It was so unfair.

But after I grew up and listened to the interviews of the Queen's Cobra Battalion soldiers who fought in Vietnam, I became proud of my grandfather. And I understand why he doesn't want to talk about this. War is really a brutal thing.
There is a You Tube channel Watch Wes Work. It is an auto repair channel. One time he was working on a Duce and a half, replaced the rear axle and backed it out of the garage. At the same time a crop duster helicopter flew past the truck. The combination of the helicopter and the Duce and a half triggered a flashback 50 years. It was the first flashback I ever had about Vietnam. It was crazy and was not expecting it. 😵💫
Had a good friend who flew Hueys in Nam. I had always look up to him. Him being older than me. His body came back alive but not his mind. He died a few years later. Salute to all who served.

Did you see the post A guy who served in Nam said the Huey Pilots were angels in the skies! Bless you guys ,heroic warriors in the sky over Vietnam ❤God Bless you for your service ☦️
This music was never ever heard in Vietnam. Only had armed forces radio government propaganda never played any rock music in Vietnam. We were isolated in the military in 60s no tv newspapers no radio. We had no internet or phones you good see the news or hear music. I didnt hear these songs until years after i got out. My small high school lost four guys 68 to 70 this just before i got sent in 71. When we got back got screwed over by the people, va and government. You could do anything to us and nobody would step up. Not even McCain he didn't help us.
So sorry, thank you for serving. I graduated in 75 si I missed it. I dated one gal with 3 sisters. Her father was the last to carry on the family name as her only brother joined the Marines and was killed over there. Another gal I dated her father was shot down over Laos in Dec 68. They spoke to him on the ground and recovered his co piolet but he was listed POW/MIA and was never returned. That seems to have been the fate of all US soldiers that went across the fence into Laos. I don't believe any ever were returned. The Vietnamese called the French POWS pearls of War and kept them as slaves long after the war.
Depends on who you were with and were you were. I know for a fact we had it there. We had personal devices you know, not like today, but we did. Some AirCav units had speakers that played music like this on loud speaker's just to mess with the gooks on approach. That's where the "Apocalypse Now" movie producers got the idea for that movie. Some had old Teac brand Real to Real players installed to play the music.
Growing up with a military family. We loved music, my Father played guitar. It's part of All of my family. Good music was the only thing I can say was comforting for a Military Brat ❤️ to young to know but I knew enough
Not Vietnam, but a bullet in the head is harsh. Had to ID my uncle in a J'burg morgue but I prefered that version of him than the undertaker tart-up. Messy but he still looked like him, not a wax doll.
I hate going to the VA Hospital because they are rude to us. They cuss at us and give us below standard medical care. We should have the same medical care as a president of the United States.
We went to Nam to restore freedom and democracy. It didn`t happen, we were booted out like running dog and cursed at home.Some elite got very rich though.
Agreed. I was a kid at the time so I'm a tourist but I reflect when I hear the tracks.. and thats with admirtaion for survivors of the shit-storm it must have been.
Oh WoW!!!! This brings me back to when I was in the Seals, just like in the Movies!.. and then as a pilot in a Cayuse and I had an 8 Track tape player-Just like in the Movies! And then I was a Captain on a patrol boat in the Mekong and had an 8 Track tape player -Just like in the Movies !! Wow I sure miss those Days way back then… Just like in the movies……
I wanted to put an 8 track player in our Duce and a half, but the 12 volt 8 track would not work on 24 volts. But had a little RCA transistor radio that fit under the handle for the flip out window. It worked great at lower speeds. At higher speeds you could not hear anything.😊 But it was just AFVN only. That was a long time ago.
My grandfather died July 30th 2023 at 69 years old from failing kidneys, he was in the navy during Vietnam he was a engineer mechanic and they would take helicopters to sweep for sea mines so the ships could pass he was my grandfather my father figure my best friend and my mentor John Mygatt
Rip to your grandaddy. Mine was a naval officer. WW2 he was enlisted, Korea he had been commissioned, Vietnam he was running signals intelligence from a Naval group and working at the Pentagon. Nobody is immune to cancer, no matter how much of a hardass or how tough they are. Pancreatic cancer would've gotten my grandfather, but his last act on Earth was firing a gun in his front yard, after he had called the police. We had fair warning. He always told us that he would rather opt out than be an invalid and survive on a machine with a nurse wiping his ass. He went out on his terms.
The music and feel of the song and the era may have been a little naive, but can you feel the difference in the messaging? The era was filled with positivity and hope, whereas the current is filled with hopelessness and anger. Which works better? It's not being filled with nostalgia, but I long for the spirit of 1967.
Grew up on this music in the 70’s. Still love it. When I was 7 - 10 I had a friend named Brian who was a Green Beret. He’d go away for long stretches but always had interesting stories to tell when he came back. He befriended our little group and told us to stay out of the Army when we grew up. I ended up in the Navy in the 80’s instead.
immense hommage à tous les anciens du Viet Nam, à leur sacrifice et à leur dévouement à leur patrie et bien sur nous n'oublions pas ceux qui sont tombés avec honneur et gloire, qu'ils reposent en paix
Respect aux combattants des 2 camps. Ok. Mais jamais d oubli et de pardon pour le commandement et le gvt Us qui après nous avoir bien savonne la planche en 54 a DBP, ont abandonné les khmers et les viets aux horreurs du communisme... comme ils font tjs et feront encore demain en ukraine qd leurs interets ciaux le commandera...et je ne parle meme de l agent orange qui tue encore aujourd'hui alors que ces salauds donnent des leçons de morale au monde entier..

He went before his draft came up, served 13 months and 1 day, changed in a airport bathroom and threw his unifom in the trash can. I love you dad and welcome home. Thank you for your service. I wasn't always able to say that but it gets easier in my old age. Especpicaly after my mother passed.
I am addressing you as a veteran of the Homeland War from Croatia, at the same time a volunteer and war invalid, I want to say that we are Croatian freedom fighters from the great Serbian aggression that attacked us in alliance with the Yugoslav People's Army, which until then was at the same time the army of all of the people of Yugoslavia, we could no longer reconcile with it and we needed a new image, and that image was you, the American fighters against communist imperialist evil, and thank you for that image, for your selfless sacrifice and for the effort you made invested in preventing communism from spreading even further

Topkick rolls up into your pos and informs you " gentleman! I am here to impart upon you. The wisdom of old, as passed down to me from my sergeant and to he his sergeant before him. Behold, the glory of real music."
Love this music even tho I’m from Yugoslavia and me parents and grandparents were sending about 5% of their monthly income to support our brothers fighting in Vietkong. 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 General Giap was in top 10 best generals in 20th Century.
Yes! Fine job u all did! So proud of u all! My friend didn't come home in two weeks to his wife! Though he did volunteer cause he so knew his no. Was coming up! Amazing young man!❤
I love how there's 2 types of themes to Vietnam era music. "Remind me of Better Times and Home" or "Get me the F&%K outta here" My family was Airforce. They were squares. They never liked this stuff, but I always loved it.
I am far to young to have served and I'm British so probably not but I remember the Vietnam war from my child day's must have been the news now stamped into my old brain
1960s was the greatest era of rock and roll.
Yeah and after that it was the 70s, then 50s then 90s then 80s Imo! Aha.. For which were the best!
That's Vietnam music for those who served in Vietnam know what I mean.

I had two family members serve in the Republic of Vietnam, Signalman Paul Crangle in the Royal Australian Signals and Pte Bryan Ferrie, Royal Australian Regiment, both National Servicemen.
Bryan returned to Vietnam as a Royal Australian Navy Nurse for a second tour.
Finished as a Commander in the RAN.
Lest we forget.

This music was never ever heard in Vietnam. Only had armed forces radio government propaganda never played any rock music in Vietnam. We were isolated in the military in 60s no tv newspapers no radio. We had no internet or phones you good see the news or hear music. I didnt hear these songs until years after i got out. My small high school lost four guys 68 to 70 this just before i got sent in 71. When we got back got screwed over by the people, va and government. You could do anything to us and nobody would step up. Not even McCain he didn't help us.
So sorry, thank you for serving.
I graduated in 75 si I missed it. I dated one gal with 3 sisters. Her father was the last to carry on the family name as her only brother joined the Marines and was killed over there. Another gal I dated her father was shot down over Laos in Dec 68. They spoke to him on the ground and recovered his co piolet but he was listed POW/MIA and was never returned. That seems to have been the fate of all US soldiers that went across the fence into Laos. I don't believe any ever were returned.
The Vietnamese called the French POWS pearls of War and kept them as slaves long after the war.
The PX didn’t sell these albums? I know they could be had out on the economy; and mamasan had no problem getting them for her club
I didn’t know that. Thank you for telling us.
Depends on who you were with and were you were. I know for a fact we had it there. We had personal devices you know, not like today, but we did. Some AirCav units had speakers that played music like this on loud speaker's just to mess with the gooks on approach.
That's where the "Apocalypse Now" movie producers got the idea for that movie. Some had old Teac brand Real to Real players installed to play the music.
So sorry you and the other vets had to go through that, we're not all haters, thank you for your service and many sacrifices
I was a Sniper the 82nd air born in 1972 this music , takes me back, I love it, I just wish I could go back and feel the Vibe.
тебя в Гаагу ,надо направить ,прямым курсом
Lord Have Mercy!!! These songs bring back so very many memories and I'm going to habe bad dreams tonight!
love the songs you all are wonderful
I lost alot of friend's over there. May your friends rest in peace. God Bless You Brother!
Growing up with a military family. We loved music, my Father played guitar. It's part of All of my family. Good music was the only thing I can say was comforting for a Military Brat ❤️ to young to know but I knew enough
I had a friend get killed over there. He was shot in the head. They had an open casket, that's something I'll never forget!😪💔
💔 Tragic you had to lose a close friend that way. May you have many happy memories to remember him by. Memories can not be taken from you.
Thank you!❤
@@VickyAtkinson Welcome, Vicky. Take care.
Not Vietnam, but a bullet in the head is harsh. Had to ID my uncle in a J'burg morgue but I prefered that version of him than the undertaker tart-up. Messy but he still looked like him, not a wax doll.

Air mobile, help the Vietnam War tremendously they were tough and fearless
I did Vietnam December 8 69 to December 23 of 70. I was an engineer 46 engineers.
I hate going to the VA Hospital because they are rude to us. They cuss at us and give us below standard medical care. We should have the same medical care as a president of the United States.
Thank you from Slovakia
BROTHERS WE SHALL PAY OUR RESPECTS TO THESE UNFORTUNATE SOLDIER'S THAT DIDN'T MAKE IT 😢
While enjoying cool jams let’s not forget freedom comes at a high cost from the blood of patriots.
We went to Nam to restore freedom and democracy. It didn`t happen, we were booted out like running dog and cursed at home.Some elite got very rich though.
Agreed. I was a kid at the time so I'm a tourist but I reflect when I hear the tracks.. and thats with admirtaion for survivors of the shit-storm it must have been.
Oh WoW!!!! This brings me back to when I was in the Seals, just like in the Movies!.. and then as a pilot in a Cayuse and I had an 8 Track tape player-Just like in the Movies!
And then I was a Captain on a patrol boat in the Mekong and had an 8 Track tape player -Just like in the Movies !! Wow I sure miss those Days way back then… Just like in the movies……
what a liar you are, you just want to pretend
I'm guessing introspection is not a SEAL trait..keep it up ! Love it
I wanted to put an 8 track player in our Duce and a half, but the 12 volt 8 track would not work on 24 volts. But had a little RCA transistor radio that fit under the handle for the flip out window. It worked great at lower speeds. At higher speeds you could not hear anything.😊 But it was just AFVN only. That was a long time ago.
My grandfather died July 30th 2023 at 69 years old from failing kidneys, he was in the navy during Vietnam he was a engineer mechanic and they would take helicopters to sweep for sea mines so the ships could pass he was my grandfather my father figure my best friend and my mentor John Mygatt
Rip to your grandaddy. Mine was a naval officer. WW2 he was enlisted, Korea he had been commissioned, Vietnam he was running signals intelligence from a Naval group and working at the Pentagon.
Nobody is immune to cancer, no matter how much of a hardass or how tough they are. Pancreatic cancer would've gotten my grandfather, but his last act on Earth was firing a gun in his front yard, after he had called the police.
We had fair warning. He always told us that he would rather opt out than be an invalid and survive on a machine with a nurse wiping his ass.
He went out on his terms.
@@jameskirk3 my condolences
how beautiful you carry a variation of his name! hope you're on the up!
One thing about the music retheme is the same as the M60 retheme crying out. A vet in nam.1967 door gunner I cav. B Co.229
My grandpas cousin served in Vietnam when he came home my grandpa gave him a Harley Davidson 💯🇺🇲
The music and feel of the song and the era may have been a little naive, but can you feel the difference in the messaging? The era was filled with positivity and hope, whereas the current is filled with hopelessness and anger. Which works better? It's not being filled with nostalgia, but I long for the spirit of 1967.
Nailed it. Better off naive and optomistic or realistic and pessamistic? Life.
Grew up on this music in the 70’s. Still love it. When I was 7 - 10 I had a friend named Brian who was a Green Beret. He’d go away for long stretches but always had interesting stories to tell when he came back. He befriended our little group and told us to stay out of the Army when we grew up. I ended up in the Navy in the 80’s instead.
Was his last name Cottrell?
I was in Nam 1972 b com 502 101st airborne camp eagles
cher dennis je vous écris de France et je n'ai qu'une chose à vous dire : God bless you
@MarieliseLegrand thank you, but I can't read French ,I think it's French,
Yes it IS french !
immense hommage à tous les anciens du Viet Nam, à leur sacrifice et à leur dévouement à leur patrie et bien sur nous n'oublions pas ceux qui sont tombés avec honneur et gloire, qu'ils reposent en paix
Respect aux combattants des 2 camps. Ok. Mais jamais d oubli et de pardon pour le commandement et le gvt Us qui après nous avoir bien savonne la planche en 54 a DBP, ont abandonné les khmers et les viets aux horreurs du communisme... comme ils font tjs et feront encore demain en ukraine qd leurs interets ciaux le commandera...et je ne parle meme de l agent orange qui tue encore aujourd'hui alors que ces salauds donnent des leçons de morale au monde entier..
As soon as we came out of the boonies, we turned Armed Forces Radio. I was Sgt. Joe, 101st ABN, 11Bravo, '69-'70. Now, just another old man.
You'll always be a warrior. God bless.
@@christopherhartline1863 Thank You.
We were just kids, we were drafted, we went, we saw the horror, we lived though the horror
The indescribable horror still lives in all of us.
To all of my colleagues along the DMZ in 68 who also had to face elusive Charlie: Semper-Fi
Good luck to you and mates
Old RSA soldiers also went to Nam. Namibia 😂😂😂 Listen to the same music. Salute guys
I was in the Army 1972, this takes me back in time. I'm letting it rip 😂

The proud son of a Hippy Vietnam Vet born with Autism, Scoleosis ,Shoermans disease and a whole host of nualigacal problems caused by Angent Orange exposure. He went before his draft came up, served 13 months and 1 day, changed in a airport bathroom and threw his unifom in the trash can. I love you dad and welcome home. Thank you for your service. I wasn't always able to say that but it gets easier in my old age. Especpicaly after my mother passed.
Love that music .
He was so excited to be coming home!
I am addressing you as a veteran of the Homeland War from Croatia, at the same time a volunteer and war invalid, I want to say that we are Croatian freedom fighters from the great Serbian aggression that attacked us in alliance with the Yugoslav People's Army, which until then was at the same time the army of all of the people of Yugoslavia, we could no longer reconcile with it and we needed a new image, and that image was you, the American fighters against communist imperialist evil, and thank you for that image, for your selfless sacrifice and for the effort you made invested in preventing communism from spreading even further
I remember being on point..
smelling the Cong smoking weed!
u always knew they were near !!
the Cong said we smelled like pork so the smart ones ate rice and rotten duck eggs and fish oil so they smelled like them Sinor Trip of 65 Fortunate Son WillSon

Topkick rolls up into your pos and informs you " gentleman! I am here to impart upon you. The wisdom of old, as passed down to me from my sergeant and to he his sergeant before him. Behold, the glory of real music."
My grandpa fought in ‘Nam, damn he was cool.
Love this music even tho I’m from Yugoslavia and me parents and grandparents were sending about 5% of their monthly income to support our brothers fighting in Vietkong. 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳 General Giap was in top 10 best generals in 20th Century.
Interesting
We got to get out of this place, during basic training.

I love how there's 2 types of themes to Vietnam era music.
"Remind me of Better Times and Home" or "Get me the F&%K outta here"
My family was Airforce. They were squares. They never liked this stuff, but I always loved it.
Tout à fait d'accord avec vous ils sont manifestement de très belles années ❤❤ou on pouvait vivre ❤❤❤🎉
I am far to young to have served and I'm British so probably not but I remember the Vietnam war from my child day's must have been the news now stamped into my old brain
เพลงของไทยก็มี เสียงเรียกจากหนุ่มไทย และเสียงตอบจากเวียดนาม
I love Thailand. If I wasn't born an American, I would want to be born a Thai.
