Come back, Mike. We miss you.
So yeah my grandmother is South Vietnamese who supports the North Vietnam (Still alive today in her 70) that told me stories about her times in the war and there a part about her father (my great grandfather) is the team leader of the tunnel diggers during French Indochina War, she told about him having to facing many patrolling French Soldiers while his Comrades is digging, it also part of the plan from Ho Chi Minh to build tunnels leads to underground of the French Fortresses to strikes from the inside, after the war against the French, American and their's allies came in to face, they started to bombing raids all over the villages and more (Operation Rolling Thunder) So one day my grandmother is running away from the bombing raids and heading to the tunnel that her father's team built to take shelter in, she told she saw a person got blowed up from the bomb too during running, after a while the Tunnel Rats began to coming to my great grandfather's tunnel, they starts to going in deeper as my great grandfather stepping up to protect his comrades, his remains family and the villagers taking shelter, he first yell out "Chuột" (Rat in Vietnamese) when first saw the Tunnel Rat, they managed killed some of the Vietnamese Soldiers but my great grandfather managed to killed the first Tunnel Rat and other one escaped, he did saved the people in the tunnel, there are more stories about my grandmother and her family that I can shares more if you guys want to, but it quite harsh for her to remember all of it again but she enjoy sharing them with me to learn something as I did
When my grand dad was 16, he lied on his enlistment form saying he was 18 so he could escape the gangs in LA and when he got to Vietnam, the Marines made him a tunnel rat. He’s still alive and kicking to this day.
he must have crazy stories
@@heywoodjablowme8120 He’s old as shit now so fortunately he doesn’t have to do any of that anymore.
The French were fighting to retain their colonial empire over "French IndoChina" beginning after WW2. The USA supported France's effort to retain their colonies due to the fear of communism spreading. That is why the Americans took over the fight after France gave in.
Yeah it certainly had nothing to do with the defense contractors that supported both Johnson and Kennedy xD
A senseless war that caused millions of deaths in a country that had just experienced the barbarism of the French before
I have huge respect for all veterans, but Vietnam Vets always have a special place in my heart after working with so many of them when I was younger. They were fighting a war, that for many years after the US still called a "conflict" only to come home to be spit at and persecuted for not dying in a war that they were drafted into.
Im Australian and worked in a city pub. We had an old quiet cleaner that was a Tunnal rat. He drank a lot as to be expected
Unfortunately the tunnel entrances were very difficult to find as they were well camouflaged and in obscure locations deep in the jungle. Also all tunnels had multiple entrances so finding all of them was even more difficult. Good video guys!
Rather, fortunately they never found the tunnels. Americans had no right to be there.
I worked with a VC soldier that was a tunnel rat. He told me he went months without seeing the sun as he underground. He said his favorite month was when his tunnel collapsed and he was stuck under a US Latrine. He could run out and get food from the trash and there was lots of steak and beer in the trash. He worked night crew and stayed away from most Americans. He was evacuated when Saigon fell and became an American. He was caught after that month and he talked so they used him for intel and such. He was so happy to be captured, his feet were jungle rotted black and they were still black when I worked with him. I was his boss so he had to talk to me.
Có ai Việt Nam ko
If Dave doesn't show up soon, I'm calling Scotland Yard! 🚔🚨
Dave? Oh no we've lost him too!
@@laboskie349 looks like it
This is what my uncle did in Vietnam because he was so small. Fucked him up for life and he drank himself to death by 60. Shit was no joke
Its another reminder that war is just terrible. War is hell.
I heard someone in the queue at Dickinsons said Dave went to jail for showing everyone his tunnel rat on the transport
SEATO (South East Asia Treaty Organization) was formed in '54 in response to the French defeat and withdrawal. It was formed in order to keep communism from spreading in Asia. Therefore, Australia, NZ, South Korea, Phillipines, etc, (signatories of the treaty) all contributed in Vietnam... although it was 99% American effort.
The South Koreans actually put up a fairly large force in Vietnam despite still recovering from their own civil war.
@@DannL18 Good point, and the S. Koreans were FANATICAL as anti-communist crusaders (due to the aforementioned civil war). In short, they were BAD ASSES.
@@DannL18 well they we're paid to fight ; what you see today korea is partly TKS to Vietnam war where Korean get aid for sending man to fight in Vietnam like alot of aid and the soldier get paid too ( aka solved work issue ; get the soldier train and experience ; get aid for road and other project in Korea )
@@fgoogle5576 not really more like to get money and aid from america nothing to do with anti communist as we seen how today Vietnam and Korea are closet partner ; Korea at that time was dirt poor and alot of people need work and they need alot of money to built infracture
If I sub to your patreon will you please let Mike out of the basement??
It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again!
@@MrChan9000 The silence of the lambs classic!
Now we have remote control gadgets with live feed cameras that we can stick a few pounds of C-4 on and send them into the tunnels until we get them to a place we want to blow up. And the "speed boost" button is no longer for speed, it's used to detonate the C-4. They should put a short recording on them that says, "Say hello to my little friend" just before the C-4 goes off. LOL.
I am a US marine from the mid 1980’s. Some of my senior enlisted were tunnel rats. NOTHING could scare them. Holy shit.
You've sent Mike to Vietnam, haven't you?
There's not many things I wouldnt do.
Becoming a Tunnel Rat and A Space Walk are the only two I genuinely don't think I could ever be convinced to do
I like the easter egg of the rock ape in the background behind the bushes. This same channel did a video about rock ape sightings in vietnam
I can tell you right now even before watching when I went to sign up I knew about this and I would do damn near anything for my country. But not this. I would either ask if I can just bury these guys or accept a court martial. These have to have been the bravest guys I could ever think of.
Yeah this reminds me of the russians no fall back order by Stalin. Where retreat meant your own men would shoot you dead. Just straight up suicide.
the Americans weren't really fighting for their country, anyway.
I met a combat medic from the VW and he told me he saw a tunnel rat who was trying to crawl out of a hole and as he was halfway out they put spears through him horizontally so he couldn't leave. Then they started to just carve shit into the guys body.
Got another vid for you guys. It's about WWII soldier and American hero Audie Murphey. Good story. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/_VYdtCLF9ks/v-deo.html
No enlisted grades has a age below20
Yall should check out Chris porter. He has several clips from the same special that are terrific.
MIKE ALERT: Mike's at KFC with his face pressed against the window and trying really hard to look hungry. Fact! 🍗🐔🤪
Called"two steps" not three. Bouncing Betty, never heard of umping jack.
This is the exact reason the U.S. invented bunker busters tunnels are no longer an issue
Jumping jacks are also known as bouncing betty's (ww2).
vietnam was a french coloney prior to independence
Because of my height, if I was drafted in WW2, I'd be a ball turret gunner in a B17. If I were drafted in Vietnam, I'd be a tunnel rat
Saw a fantastic video you guys need to react to. D-Day from germans perspective. Was really neat to see. It's a new one thats two weeks old. not the old one you reacted to.
Việt minh basically refers to members of the Vietnamese communist party and their army. Việt công are the socialist party of Vietnam, but they basically worked together to unify all of Việt Nam. Long story of how the Việt minh somewhat betrayed the Việt công. If anyone visits Việt Nam, there is a place northwest of Sài gòn (Hồ Chí Minh City) called Củ Chi, where you can actually tour tunnels two levels deep (they made the tunnels larger for visitors, below that the tunnels are very small, but the network, with escape tunnels into the river, is quite impressive. I have a lot of admiration for those tunnel rats and the stories they told.
The difference between Afghanistan war and this is that we Vietnamese never were a threat to anybody, just living our lives and then the french nd americans decided to come and kill so many of us.
Creation "viet nam the ky 20 trong 7 phut - story viet nam of history"
They may not have known where the entrances were
Why is Mike on the thumbnail for this vid? I want my money back :p
Mike's in New York !!!!
what makes you think that
Night vision goggles would have been nice to have.
Night vision goggles don't work in total darkness.
WW2 ave age 26
Vietnam it was 22
Respect!
I'll take my chances with the VW beetle.
Russian mafia... makes sense why he wants to cover his tattoos in the videos.
One of my old employers is a Vietnam veteran. He told me a story of how tunnel rats uncovered a VC stash of medicine donated by the faculty of UC Berkeley.
That I can believe, seeing how Berkeley is a socialist university.
Nice sleazy innuendo. You're describing college faculty donating medicines to a war torn country as if it's a bad thing, just because bad guys would get some of it.
@@dudermcdudeface3674 For all we know, Berkeley sent the medicines to the viet cong. We know for certain they are socialist and communist that come out of the university. Not giving them the benefit of the doubt.
@@markrobertdevison1227 translation: i rode the small bus to school and like to use big words i don't the meaning of...lol
A bullshit story.
Interesting video
Yeah if what I hear is true then vietnam soldiers used to sneak through three layers of patrol around the american camps and then sneak into tents just to take a dump on their chest, soldiers wake up to the smell eventually and be traumatized that a guy was close enough to slit their throat just to do that instead
check out the american cival war oversimplified
I’ll donate 1 pound fifty to get Mike back!!!!!!
You joke about Forrest Gump, if you rewatch it, you will see he was used as a tunnel rat and your blood will run cold because they sent him down cos he was disposable and obedient. It's a blink and you will miss it scene unless you know about tunnel rats. . Also cross-reference McNamara's Morons.
Yankmerica, the world's superpower in military spending with over 200 bases around the world who haven't won a single war... let that sink in
Yall should check out the Greg Giraldo Roasts compilation, it's hilarious af tbh! And ik for a fact yall would like them. Though tbh it seems all your fans that comment on UA-cam get ignored honestly and that if you don't do it thru patreon your comment will just get ignored sadly. I mean,I don't see how or why we who comment on UA-cam seem to never get mentioned on a video, never gets mentioned that someone from UA-cam comments requested the video, nor do I ever even see a comment thats been liked/hearted by yall. Sadly it seems that if we don't use Patreon and actually pay for a request then they just get ignored and I for one think it's pretty $hitty. I mean me and like 2 or 3 other people I've seen commenting and asking for the same things to be reacted to for months now and not once have I seen or heard them even acknowledge the people in the UA-cam comments once, which it crappy cause obviously were the ones who sit and watch all the videos, comment, and like on all of them.
They're investing their time and energy creating these videos. Why shouldn't they receive compensation for that?
But you'll be happy to know that I did request on Patreon a Greg Giraldo roast compilation a few weeks ago.
@@jeffburdick869 I never said they shouldn't my guy, I'm so for them making money and getting paid by fans and all, it's just I meant like I feel as if the one who comment on UA-cam are ignored and never paid attention to because they commented and requested on UA-cam instead of posting and doing it through patreon. I have no problem at all with them making money through patreon and all, it's more or less that I feel is that comment and request on UA-cam just get ignored cause we're not or can't
@@drewgamezzz8482 are you okay? Seems like you ain't over this....they comment and like posts on here. I guess you just don't see them. Even some videos they literally say ... a bunch of comments about this video ... so they are watching it.
Why is every Vietnam story from the western side. I would like to hear the other perspectives.
Níu bạn có thể đọc được chữ viết việt nam tôi .tôi sẽ nói cho bạn biết về việt nam tôi 🙂 hiện giờ chúng tôi chỉ muốn hòa bình xây dựng lại đất nước của chúng tôi . Quá khứ đả qua nên khép lại . Chúng ta là bạn . Chúng tôi thật sự hy vọng các bạn đầu tư vào kinh tế việt nam giúp chúng tôi . Trung quốc mạnh hơn chúng tôi .chúng tôi hy vọng các bạn lun ở bên chúng tôi . Xin gửi những câu tốt đẹp nhất
Like fighting ants. Fucking terrifying. God bless those who fought for freedom
freedom of whom? The US was fighting a war to retain the French colonizer of Vietnam, the reason why the Vietnamese support communism was BECAUSE OF THE FRENCH, they didn't want to leave. And the US backed up the French so...what Freedom are ya talking about? American should have not involve in that war in the first place because it has nothing to do with American and its people's freedom. Same with Afghanistan, Iraq and other wars that American ever involved with....unnecessary wars that has nothing to do with the people in America accept American big industries and corporations. Basically if other nations doesn't want to sell stuff or buy stuff from America the CEO of all these big companies will lobby your politician to make war with the nation. THAT IS WHY MOST NATION HATE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. That's what happened in Libya and Iraq because Gaddafi and Saddam didn't want an oil deal with the US and dont wanna sell oil to the US companies for a cheap price so America invaded them. As simple as that. It has nothing to do with FREEDOME.
The only ones fighting for freedom here were the Vietnamese. The americans and other colonizers slaughtered and raped the Vietnamese people. The Vietnamese are the heroes here.
Bring back Mike!
Yall need to react to more music videos! Preferably Ciara
I love this reaction
Being 5'4 and having to do that is crazy. That adds another element because you aren't strong enough to do anything
Man. I just figured after all this time, all these reaction videos by all thse channels, they would figure out that the infographics show sucks.
They have goot titles. Thats it. They cant make a video to save their lives and you guys just keep clicking them.
Tango Mike Mike
#FreeMike
If you reach to history let it be something less childish
The little I know of the Australian soldiers during Vietnam impresses me. Way more common sense then the americans.
Whole video was a "bit of an exaggeration". The Viet Cong were DECIMATED when Congress betrayed South Vietnam and left them to be defiled by communism.
I think joking about Mike is uncool. We who follow you guys are actually concerned about him. I'm going to unsubscribe and not watch I'll check in once a week until he returns.
Lol K. You clearly don’t understand how British blokes joke with each other.
Taking things waaaay to seriously. Lol
Obviously you have no idea about mens relationships to each other.
