CU CHI TUNNELS - VIETNAM
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Video and photographs of the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam taken by Eugene Taylor and Abraham Krikorian in November 2013. These tunnels are approximately 200 kilometers long and were hand dug by the Viet Minh and later by the Viet Cong using crude tools. The incredible ingenuity and determination on the part of the Vietnamese in fighting for independence and unification is reflected throughout the tunnel complex.
The best tourist guide I have ever seen in my lifetime
he knows his history, that's for sure.
@@egomaniac247 also his English is excellent too. Very fluent and very confident.
ya man, joe whack
yamen Jolak did he tell you those spikes had Faeces put on them ? And this caused 11% of American deaths.
@@ronpreece3429 maybe you should host the tour too!
As a Vietnam combat Vet I have to say this was a fascinating video. And the guide was excellent.
That all these years later I would be seeing a tour guide showing bombs, shells, weapons, etc. is just too surreal.
Really like the Guide. Appreciated that he does not harbor animosity against us, we not against them. Now I wear Nike shoes that say "Made in Vietnam."
you're a more forgiving man than I, if I saw a Afghani displaying an M4 I'd be pretty pissed. Only one way you get that weapon.
+MrBrock19w Yup. But the fact is, who are we to go to someone elses country and not expect to get killed. every soldier knows the risk.
and cheap labor is more of weapon if used in such a manor isnt it. food for thought...
deadheart the USA been handing out rifles like candy to the “moderate” rebels in Syria.
Michael In San Francisco...thank you for your service. Interesting how you are nowadays excuse me I know that didn't come across correctly our sous chef was a tunnel rat and that guy was just unbelievably crazy genius Navy SEAL smart but very humble and just a very humble nice hard-working man thank you again for your service
How come UA-cam kept something that important away for seven years?. I'm 72 now and I wonder if I'm going to be around when we all learn about the so called "war on terror". All my respect to the courageous people of Vietnam. Greetings from Toronto.
You had to be their to appreciate the skill of these men, never underestimate your enemy.
Fat americans couldnt fit in to these tunnels XD
It seems US fought that war with one arm tied behind there back
Rudy your right always RESPECT YOUR ENEMY!!
SorelyFrigid says the internet dwelling neckbeard with a creepy anime profile pic lol dumb fucking piece of shit
Hater of players 110% chance he’s an overweight virgin himself 😂
This guide is incredible. A whole history lesson from him
Have you learnt any of Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean languaget. It's really tough. The same goes for a Vietnamese to learn English. This tour guide spent long hrs on end to learn English.
Naturally he read or/& watched Hollywood a lot for his English skill & these American spices found their way into his narratives to certain extent.
He may also rely on American goodwill for handsome tips. So good narratives are usually a combo of facts & fiction.
It's good for entertainment.
@@BL-db6xt Its more easy for us Vietnamese to learn English because we use the alphabet, too. Its more touch for the Chinese, Japanese, Korean,...
One thing is for sure: intelligence, wisdom, knowledge is stronger than any tech weapon.
Not every tech weapon. You can be as smart as you want, but there is always a person smarter than you, and if he builds a new weapon, you're fucked.
Leo The fuck you are talking about....?
"One thing is for sure: intelligence, wisdom, knowledge is stronger than any tech weapon." About what Hudson Ferreira said.
an ethnically homogenous people is the ultimate weapon against any attacker.
Not without motivation attached.
What a fantastic tourist guide! I like the way he narrates to the tourists about what happened during the war as if he took part in the war!
Vietnamese saying, "A mouse can kill an elephant if he bites him once a day."
patience is the key man..... patience
The most efficient killers are microbes.
Im an Vietnamese and I dont even know this saying
@@trungkienngo6267 You did not know it, you do now.
@@ilsavv Thank u grandpa
Uncle in red shirt, probably was getting flashbacks and started seeing trees moving.

I laughed at your joke. Then it made me think. I think any us veteran who's willing to visit what's effectively an enemy's war museum has some real guts. They're willing to examine the most hellish moments of their lives at an arms length so they can better understand the history and tactics. That's humbling, honestly.
He acted like he’d like to choke him
we handing out mines? 10:44
*resisting to choke guide *
the Tour guide was excellent! very knowledgeable and honestly pretty interesting and intense!
As good as he can be in a country that doesn't have freedom of speech . He would be in big trouble if he didn't have a pro north stance
@@ScreenHackTV nah people can shit on the government. Tho just dont intend to start any weird factions cuz that aint gonna end well
@@GachaLord incorrect . 5 women were jailed a couple of years ago for owning the old Vietnamese flag with 3 red stripes and two other people were jailed for writing negative things about the government on fb.
@@ScreenHackTV freedom of *speech* , no more no less. After all, Vietnam was never a democracy, not even the old RVN was, it was just anti-communist and thats it
If they try anything like that then it counts as potential threats to the government and the unified country. Creating an illegal party/faction against them, AKA classified as traitors. And communist or no, Vietnamese have never been anything but brutal towards traitors(there was a tradition to kill *three generations of the traitor, them, their son, and their parents* ).
Yes our government isnt perfect, but they havent made any stupid moves (yet) either, so having the flag of the old RVN instead of a unified communist VietNam isnt something they gonna stand for.
And trust me, them getting jailed isnt really that much better than not being jailed cuz if people find out (excluding the old regime supporters which is like one or two percent of the population) that they arent jailed yet then they're gonna get boycotted and to oblivion.
@@GachaLord vietnam has abandoned almost all its communist principles for which it sacrificed so many of its own people.
I really hope that one day , you are a believer in ho chi minh because you want to , not because you HAVE TO , .
I also hope that one day vietnam will be a free , democratic, liberal country with freedom of speech and write the wrongs .
I visited the tunnel twice with groups of American and British friends. Whatever you would say, Cu Chi tunnel is an incredibly impressive masterpiece and the people who lived underground were amazing ...
Phoenix Nguyen Phuong they were rats and traitors you fool

I read the book the Tunnels of Cu Chi and was amazed by the intricacy of the tunnel system. It's amazing to see it explained.
Hello
Where I can get the book
😘like you
I really appreciate the knowledge and pride this man giving the tour possesses. The tunnel system Vietnamese created blows my mind. You can clearly tell he wants to show us exactly what his people did to survive this horrible war that many of us americans have now forgot.

How could anyone ever hope to beat these people? I admire their spirit tremendously!
They were lucky i did not step it
Coulda just nuked the whole place
@@ron.hertzberg yes because that wouldn't cause an international nuclear bomb war
They were fighting for their lives, not communism. The Americans had no reason
@@ron.hertzberg delusional
Excellent video, he was a good guide.
Same remark
I was there a few months ago too. What you don't sense from the video is the extreme humidity and 35°C heat. It had just stopped raining when we got there and I was sweating a lot. An interesting place, definitely.
Cường Nguyễn Trang Hùng Wait how does Russia have anything to do with the Vietnam war? (Besides Communism and arming the NVA and VC)
jt slepica no, mikael asking why we can live in tunnels with 35 C. i said we can because we can, just like russian live on there heat.

Oh ok
Feel bad for my english when i read it again
According to Columbia University's Asia for Educators, Vietnam has a 5,000 year history of successfully fighting off all the foreign invaders to protect their independence and freedom. Library of Congress also noted that despites their 3 attempts to invade Vietnam, the most powerful Mongol Empires in the 13th century were bitterly defeated by the Vietnamese. This video tells just a small part of the bloodiest War of the last century, but it truly makes Vietnam's history more intriguing.
MrKingdig you are very stupid to say that.
Hey sdjduududdusususuu a 6 ulitii
k Kk shsuhssjsjsjzjjzk op u g fddddddddcc
@Meldrop A false fact actually. In Resistance against American invasion, well over 58000 US troops KIA and more than 330000 other contain physical wounds, not counted psychological and Dioxin-poisoned ones in. It also costs Americans 7.2 million tons of bombs compared to 2.5 million used by them for the whole World War 2 all over the globe. Numbers speak itself, but here we have another problem: American and their allies have a favourite of multiplying People’s Army of Vietnam plus Liberation Army of South Vietnam’s death toll by factor of 2, 5, 10 or even higher in each battle, which included mostly unarmed civilians by the way. US killing Vietnamese people? Just count it in the “Viet Cong” part and then, boom, problem solved. Also, with little to no naval fleet, a small air force, no strategic nuclear weapons and numerous disadvantages, in the corrected counting after negated those irrelevant forces, SUPRISINGLY, death rate of PAVN and LASV are the same as US Armed Forces. This can be proven through battles where American tactical advantages were unavailable like when we reached as close to them as possible without being detected then opened fire, to force them not using their airstrikes (it will kill themselves too, mutually assured destruction at battle scale); or when our permanent force fired artillery shells aiming American ammunition storage inside their base successfully to set back imbalancement in equipments from their beneficial to a more “neutral” status first, before main tanks-and-AFV-supported attack waves launched; for example.
@Dan Trebune so, 2 most brutal wars in human history, expanded to continents with dozens of nations involved are just 1 and 4 times more destructive than Resistance against American invasion, made it the 3rd largest war mankind have ever seen. Good, so now not any single country on this Earth can say anything about "Vietnam War is not brutal compared to ours".
I went here during my travels in 2003....Excellent museum and shooting range.....One of my best memories of my time in Asia...
I love hearing stories from the other side. The VC were very creative my dad said.
Hazy Sativa Yankees got fucked up over there
@@jacobjorgenson9285 they also took their share with them. Vietnam war was a meat grinder.
Vc trash
Horang Pungryuga losing doesn’t make you a coward
@Horang Pungryuga the Americans who came back are heroes. I know that some were mad, some killed prisoners, just don't get me started on it. If you were in vietnam, I bet you would be crapping your pants.
Chariya is amazing. Excellent English and a very good speaker that knows his history. War is a horrible thing and people need to never forget the suffering that happened on both sides all because of some political leaders. It's amazing learning about this tunnel systems and the many traps and the amazing determination for survival.
the Vietnamese people are an example of courage and pride for the Algerian people and for all oppressed peoples. "Thank you for existing" .
This video gives me the chills. Cu Chi was the headquarters base camp for the 25th infantry and the largest of the 3 they had. I spent 1967-1968 with the 25th as an infantryman in the surrounding trees, bush around Cu Chi and Dau Tieng. We swept 10k a day through the Michelin Rubber tree plantation as well as triple canopy bamboo that was so thick point had to cut paths through. Best day of my life was when I left Viet Nam after my year was up. I was fortunate. 50,000 were not. I was 19 yrs old. As such, could not even see this whole video....
peter rech I applaud your braveness; I cannot even imagine surviving through..
peter rech .. Thank YOU for your service sir 👍🏼
Peter, thank you so much for your service. This video seriously put the Cu Chi Province in freightening perspective. The VC, NVA were a formidable enemy. The camouflage was remarkable and I really don't see how our guys could had detected those entryways or sniper holes. I get it that this was too painful to watch. My dad fought in the South Pacific in WWII and he Never watched war movies or for that matter let us. He'd seen too much the first time around and didn't see war as entertainment.
I was a paratrooper 69-70 I too was glad to leave after being wounded five times...thank God none very serious
Peter Rech, they do show a painting of GI's in green being shot at and retreating, no voice over, you might want to look away at that. 41:00 to 41:30 But generally its pretty mild. Old folks on a lesson tour. Trying to not slip on the stairs that have no handrail. We're all getting old it seems. I had a high lottery number and didn't have to serve, others did, I'm sorry. The Vietnamese were just fighting against foreign domination, like the ununiformed american patriots of the 1770's. The hatchet is buried.
I 1st went to Vietnam in 1997. I was deployed to Bosnia in 96, left in December and wound up in Grafenwoehr Germany. Got a passport in Frankfurt and head to Vietnam. I went everywhere. I made a lot of great friends that took me around way off the beaten path. When I went there was no U.S. embassy in HCM, no Americans anywhere. I went to many Villages and was told I was the first white to walk in, and some the first American since the war. Everyone there treated me like a king. Some former Viet Cong found out I was in their village, and that I was not only an American but also an American soldier. They invited me to their homes to eat. I went back several times. I had to bribe the police so I could travel throughout Vietnam 😂. It was worth it. Such a beautiful country with amazing people.
Top-notch guide, very knowledgeable, and enthusiastic...
We did this Cu Chi Tunnels tour a few year ago, that hatch to hop in was tight Man the tunnels were small to crawl through. Vietnam was awesome, the people were great.
Imagine back when they were building them during the war. How many lives were lost in tunnel building
@@josephedward9107 Yeah It's scary. All those lives lost for what?
Warm, wet, coo chee tunnels....mmmmm

I just love how good he is at communicating with the accent
Impressive. Im astonished how the Vietnamese were so hard-working in creating such complex tunnelsystems.
+Ben Dover You think that is astonishing? look up the traps they used
Skylar Bjornman Well creating underground tunnels without being detected and so deep underground ,.... the whole tunnel system were several hundred kms in total lenght! Impressive
I know there tunnels are extremely fascinating! but their traps were amazing too
Skylar Bjornman Ofc they were. Punji traps, booby traps, everything!
+Ben Dover ~ they worked so hard because they'd get killed if they didn't.
Thank you for posting this video, probably the best i have seen on here for information. The tour guide certainly new his stuff and came across very well.
What an informative video and I would never disrespect anyone who participated from either side. But the two things that strike me the most is the ingenuity of both high and low technology and the indescribable horror that both sides endured.
I have read about the Cu Chi tunnels. Very effective system. Wonderful tour guide
Scientist need to study this dude. He's a time traveler. He keeps saying "we".
He's seems overly proud
@@tankerock indeed. you can't blame him though. because they won the war.
@@noseishin thats very true lol.... at the time those traps they made were extremely effective
@@noseishin lol nobody won the war just a bunch of young kids dying on both sides killing for nothing so sad
He's proud of his country. Something western youth dont understand.
Thanks very much for the upload, you seldom get the chance to see this if you're not going to Vietnam yourself. Thumbs up!
Cu Chi -- I was there in 1970 - 25th Inf, 65th Eng.. It was a big place and I, as a Spec 4 Combat Engr, never knew these tunnels existed but likely the higher ups did. We were on the East side of the base, always some activity at night. Best night I spent there was on November 23rd, 1970, my last night departing for home after my tour was over. I remember that rubber plantation toward the East, on the way to Saigon..

yall got destroyed in an useless, anti democratic, imperialist war.
20. *Years.* of digging with improvised tools and moving the soil by handmade basket....
200km of tunnels connecting countless villages.
The Vietnamese could not understand how we as Americans, who's freedom and nation was born of guerilla warfare, could not use that experience to fight the Vietnamese and beat them at their own game.
They believed we would continue that practice and tradition and keep that knowledge close to heart and mind when engaging in any warfare as it was essential and life saving before.
I love how these people think and fight. It don't matter who came, the Chinese, the Khmer, The Japanese, the French, the Americans and their allies, these people stood up and fought for their independence and stood against all odds and even against seemingly unending and daily combat. 50 years or more of day to day struggle.
I'm in awe of these people and their resolve. Deepest respect!
Kristina Rain, You forgot the English !
Guerilla warfare is not a US thing, it was fighting tactics that was borrowed from the real Americans (native nations of the American continent) just like everything else “US” borrowed and stolen yet trying to lay claim to “inventing” it.
@@darpa2226 "Vietnam was a beautiful modern country", already forgotten the the majority that lived in Saigon were mostly the Elites and French? Already forgotten the brutal exploitations the French and the Japanese did to the Vietnamese people? Already forgotten even during the Vietnam War, the North was even more developed and was already capable of manufacturing things on their own instead of relying on supplies aided by the West and its allies like the South? Give me a fucking break.

Awesome guide, and the Vietnamese, resilient people to admire!
This was better than most documentaries I’ve watched on the Vietnam War (American War to the Vietnamese). Thanks very much for sharing.
I really like the tour guide. His body language, his accent and his expressions when explaining Cu Chi history are all so interesting
this tour sounds like a history lesson
it was the real thing ! al my respect to the vietnam people. they lost 4millionpeople but won the war
I learned more from youtube than in history class 😂
It is.. :)
It really is.
The Vietnamese are an incredible people, I have met so many. They are beautiful and full of heart!!!
I think our grandparents disagree..
@@MikeSki. Well your "grandparents" had no business in Vietnam to begin with. Vietnam was never a threat to the U.S.
Anyone siding with America’s enemy’s whether we had business being there or not American men were killed there by assholes like that tour guide that smirks every time he mentions our men dying and suffering , so once again if you side with this asshole guide your also an asshole !! 🇺🇸
Seems like the Vietnam people knew their lands very well.
Uh. Well no shit
They knew their land almost as well as Americans know where the fast food restaurants are.
Because there whole land was jungle and beaches. It was easy for them to navigate. But America is the opposite because we have different land. We have snowy lands, forest, jungle, desert and stuff like that
@@fordtruckman80 oh wow a comment about americans liking fast food, thats original. Are you so braindead that you just regurgitate mindless comments from other people?
@@Nantosuelta Truth hurts, almost as much as a punji trap
Horrifying job to be a tunnel rat, I could NOT imagine! Respect to both sides for having the balls! Glad we can look back at it now and be allies with the Vietnamese people, war is hell. Would love to go visit one day! RIP to all who gave their lives!
We are not allies with the Viets, at least we dont try to destroying their country and have more or less normal relationship which is good enough for now .
You should definitely go. It will bring a sharp focus to how utterly idiotic the war was when you see, first hand, what the US Govt of the 70s was trying to prevent happening has actually become a stable, prospering country that lives in peace. I guarantee that every single American who visits Vietnam today will think the "American War" was utter lunacy. Hindsight is brutal, undeniable and dispassionate.
We should Nuke them back into the stone age revenge would be sweet and we would put China on the ropes!
@@HgHg-yp6ft Is this a joke? Are you really that ignorant? We are absolutely allies with Vietnam, anywhere there is money to be made, we will invest into it. That's America for you.... Keep in mind, we lost the war. The AMERICANS lost the war as well. It was not a good war, the only victor was capitalist greed and communism. Shoes and many more products are made in Vietnam, e.g. many Nike shoes. Remember that not every Viet was a commie, seriously, remember that. There was the Viet Cong, NVA, and the ARVN in Vietnam. Please don't generalize the Viets then as all commies, that's despicable. You know the Americans helped the ARVN too right? There were good Vietnamese people and soliders. Keep your ignorant ass off the internet please.
Tunnel snakes for life
Nice video, great tour guide. I was with the 1st Cav. Div. at Tay Ninh 69 & 70 and I can assure people that these tunnels were a nightmare, not only for us, but for the VC & NVA.
I was there in 2013, September and I fought with the 1st Infantry, C co./2/16 Rangers in 1968. This was filmed in December. I spent close to an hour with this man. He slipped me his E mail but I never heard back. This tour is as realistic as I have ever seen. I was a Infantry Platoon Sgt. and fought in this general area and with the 25th Inf at times, 1968.
I've been visiting Vietnam for the last 20 years I've visided the tunnels many times. Here I am now living and working in Vietnam and can I say these people are peace loving. A lot of Americans bleat on about how ruthless the vietnamese people were during the war but for christ sake the Americans invaded these peoples country what did they expect a warm welcome . And what about the atrocities the Americans inflicted on these people Agent orange for instance ,Cluster bombs and a few more .I remember visiting the tunnels on one occasion and an American woman was crying asking for forgiveness I think that speaks volumes
peter north so true. If some one bring war to us? What will we do?
peter north American woman crying for forgiveness ? She can kiss my ass along with her pal Obama
@@ngoctu2603 the north Vietnam brought war on the south let’s not mix things up that’s why you got invaded
Americans were invited by freedom loving God fearing Vietnamese. Communism is a disease
Sorry my freind but I think it was paranoia on the Americans side that communism would spread nothing more .You see why where the French here in the 50s was their motive to stop the spread of communism?
Interesting and informative. Excellent guide
This is the best tourist guide I’ve ever watched a video of. Wow I’d love to visit Vietnam
Thanks for this video. NO actors and NO brainless electronic B.S. in the background. EXCELLENT!
Excellent video, thank you for posting this. I read the book "Tunnels of Cu Chi" back when I was a high school student in the mid 80s. Because of it, I've put this place on my travel bucket list.
I have tremendous respect for Vietnam Vets (including my father) and videos like this help me understand how insane that war was.
How insane the US was and continues to be

One place I always wanted to see. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I always wondered about those tunnels. I've heard stories.
I my Philippino wife a friend from Connecticut and a luitenant of mine from my army service went to the tunnels of course Saigon (ho chiman city) and Hanoi. It was a great trip. The Vietnamese people are very friendly i want to return one day .
I've been through those tunnels, very very small, and the ones we went through were made to accommodate westerners. I think we went about 40 meters through and everyone had had enough by then it was way to claustrophobic. Amazing eye opening to see how these people who's homeland was invaded were so resilient
This tour guide was absolutely phenomenal. This was a great video.
probs the best and most enthusiastic tour guide I have seen. deserves all the money and tip he gets

The main combatants in the Vietnam war was the North vs the south. USA and Chinese troops supported either side
I visited Cu Chi a few years back...it seemed to be in the middle of nowhere but it is an amazing place. Theses people were very tough and brave to put up with living like rats for weeks on end sometimes. I did go down that tunnel they showed and the Claustrophobia was really scary. On a good note..I was allowed to fire an AK-47 on a range and the power and noise was out of this world..I just don't know how they did it...Amazing people..
excellent video. Very informative. Respect
Thank UA-cam for finally getting a “recommendation” right. I have liked this video and subscribed.
My Uncle Ellis (Sonny) Burman Jr (A future special effects wizard with his brother, Tom) was a Marine tank patrol leader here early in the war. While leading his group along a road surrounded by jungle, their tank came upon a baby crawling in the middle of the road. Thinking it was a lost casualty of the war, he climbed out of his tank to rescue the baby and was immediately shot in the leg. His crew pulled him back into the tank and they tragically wound up running over the baby. This was a war that only the veterans understand. He had severe PTSD his entire life before he died.
I'm pissed but at the same time these guys are fierce warriors who refused to be defeated by our military. Much respect, I would like to visit one day.
Thank you so much for posting this. Very interesting and informative.
amazing....simply amazing that they built this complex tunnel system......never knew ...wow.

VC was highly intelligent. My Dad, never got over this War. Never. He carried it with him. As a disabled combat vet myself, i dont have it bad like my Dad and thousands did and some still do
very informative and well done videodoc,thanks for posting and sharing your experience at Cu Chi
Thank you for the video I'm a huge history buff with an affinity towards military history but I'm also lack of funds to travel and explore so this may very well be the closest I get just wanted to say thanks
I went on this tour. It’s really cool, but I don’t have much recollection since it was 8 years ago. But I remember them letting the small people go into the tunnel hole just to stand up.
Great Vietnamese.respect ever.proud of the nation.
Wow very informative and interesting, I admire their soilders very clever.
Very respectful and fair video to everybody. Love it :)
Damn time just flyed by watching this. Thanks alot Eugene
Ive been there before, there still craters from b52s carpet bombing the area, my guide said they used to use the fresh craters as places to dump soil while excavating new tunnels. Very well thought out complex and it was massive
The “little people” never cease to amaze me with there ingenuity and tenacity’ much respect is given to them, may the Soldiers of both sides now know only peace and may we all learn from past misgivings.
The massive Chinese and Soviet aid helped
@@Thunderchild-gz4gc most definitely did! Without weapons and anti aircraft the whole conflict would of been over before it even was a thought in the south’ the sad part is that Ho Chi Minh wanted vietnam to be more in line with the U.S. and it all went up in smoke at some point……..damn politicians.

I have always been fascinated by this war/conflict/police action (whatever you want to call it) so thank you for posting this video as I do not think I will ever be able to go. It is amazing how well low tech can work even in modern wars.
This was absolutely amazing. And to think this guy was probably VC or NVA any harbors no ill will towards Americans is incredible! It makes me want to go see Vietnam. It looks like an absolutely beautiful country with wonderful people! When will people realize that war is never the answer.
"When will people realize that war is never the answer."
When?? Never. Human nature is unchanging.

Those traps were meant to injure not kill. It took more time and people to care for an injured men.
+Trapaholic. those traps were designed with every intent to kill. if you didnt die immediately you'd die from uncontrollable bleeding or with some very few soldiers, come home missing with body parts. Guerrilla warfare is meant to kill enemy soldiers. my uncle is a vietnam veteran of the US Army and told me all about those traps. he did three tours and rarely seen those traps "injure" anybody.if you ran into any one of em your chances of survival was below 5%. more than half of our soldiers died as a result of them traps. So dont you dare sit there and type that they were meant to "injure" anybody
+matt aldrich were you offended there Matt , it's okay , you don't have to cry - and learn how to speak English
Don't piss me off man and no I'm not offended I'm just irritated that some people just don't have a clue about anything. Even when the evidence is right there in front of them
We went through hell during that war an our government did nothing to help. Like I said earlier we coulda won that war in less than 6months if we we're station further to the north. But instead they stationed our soldiers in the south. It brought them money and that's all they wanted. They didn't care about the 500000+ men that were killed. They didn't care that they were sending 18yo boys out there as bait for the Vietcong. All They wanted was the money. It was 100% ran by politics. And that's a true fact
Beautiful comment. Sorry to hear you were there.

When I was child I play vietnam war with my friends, we have a tree that was an helicopter, a big nature sorrunds that was the jungle, of course we were children playing soldiers, amercian soldiers, when I grow up I found thah maybe the moral was in the vietnam soldier, and moral won over high tech weapons. Thats the question, for more info just see AVATAR, or dancing with wolfs.
Goes to show....a man on his own ground has the advantage... An has a way better chance of survival an victory....much respect for these people....they didnt fight for oil, or money...they fought for survival an freedom for independence for themselves.....
Freedom and independance was the vietnamese vs french war. USA vs vietnam, the north vietnams ga
Goal was to unite Vietnam into one
The Vietnamese people fought to survive. The governments may have a different agenda.......usually driven by satan himself. The average person/soldier wants nothing to do with any of that crap.
Thanks for posting this Video, I really learned a lot. Very interesting.
I think if I decide to go to Vietnam I would like to have this guide pretty good
My neighbor died at Cu Chi 2/67. He was in the 25th Division.
kyletango Sorry to hear about what happened at Cu Chi to your neighbor.
What a noob i got a 89/1 kd
I like vietnamese people thier patriotism and resilence.. From the phililipines.
I love it, it's almost as if that guy in the background and indeed the tourist asking the questions, were actually pissed off that they were this clever. Brilliant!
5:50 the grandpa on red shirt is having Vietnam flashback thinking "oh damn I remember this traps I almost died on one of these"
A great guide, very interesting.
That's why the west respected the braveness of the Asian, especially the Vietnamese.
I like this tour guide. Very soft spoken and professional.
This was absolutely fascinating. That guide is top notch.
What a gentleman this man is
