    AFFILIATE LINK DISCLOSURE: Friends, making a quality Loloho video is kind of like making sausage - only slightly more violent. It's a ridiculous amount of work that typically involves high dollar camera drops, blue-screen-of-death computer crashes, and at least one angry shotgun wielding old man shouting, “Hey! Get the hell outta here!” Once the final video is posted, rewards here on UA-cam are few and far between (unless you are a masochist who enjoys being verbally abused by anonymous trolls). One saving grace is our affiliate links. JUST CLICKING THESE LINKS HELPS TO SUPPORT OUR LITTLE SHOW. Think of this clicking as like tipping - except that it doesn't cost you anything extra! If you eventually make a purchase via one of our affiliate links, we will receive a few pennies (and Sean typically invests these pennies in duct tape and video gear). Again, it doesn't cost you anything to click these links, and it's a great help to us. As always, safe travels, happy camping, and THANK YOU!

    Here's a bit of an Alabama connection to Linebacker II. Bama linebacker Derrick Thomas' ('85-'88) father was a pilot of a B-52 during Vietnam, and was lost during the Linebacker II operation. Derrick grew up in south Florida, later coming to Alabama to play Linebacker. He finished his career at Bama as an All American, with a total of 52 QB sacks. He always said he felt fortunate to finish with the same number of sacks as the B-52 number his father flew, in addition to the Linebacker connection.

    As an USAF veteran I appreciate your thoughtful and insightful parallel from football and military service. I’ve followed you for a while, but I will admit - this is the closest I’ve felt to you. Even with your experience while in Vietnam, I find it interesting how your bridge all of your experiences into a holistic view of the world and find a bright side. I wish more of us would view things from all sides.

      Hi Michelle, I appreciate your comment so much. As you can imagine, this is a fine line to walk. I have been trying to honestly convey my experiences and feelings and how they have been affected by travel. I have nothing but the highest respect for all those who have served in our military, and I have tried to make that clear many times over the years on this channel. With this video I was trying to express some optimism - a bright side, as you say. Where we once found enemies, now we can find great friends. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts here.

      I too am a graduate of USAFA. But in my years we wore blues, only won 8 games in 4 years, froze and got sunburned. We had to attend the games and we were charged to attend. We actually went to the opponents team and “stole” the female cheerleaders since we didn’t have women.
      But thanks for a great video, as always.

      It does seem like a beautiful campus, and I wish we had more time to explore. Unfortunately, the famous chapel was under construction while we were there, so we were not able to visit it. Maybe we will return at some point in the future, and do some more in-depth touring of the campus itself. It is a gorgeous setting against the backdrop of the mountains. God bless your son and all the members of our military.

    I remember Linebacker II, from the perspective of sitting in a plane most of the day, in full battle gear, waiting to see if we were going. On our North Carolina base, all of our B-52s, KC135s, and F4s were taking off all day long heading to Viet Nam. Turns out, our engineering team did not go that time, but it was a scary being out of touch, my wife had no idea what was happening. Many of my friends became prisoners of war during that operation. And if memory serves me, the peace talks had been stalled for quite some time, shape of the table and all that. Nixon grew impatient and ordered the bombing to speed things up. And it apparently worked as the peace treaty was signed a few months later. Too bad so many were killed on both sides for a politician's war.

    • @LongLongHoneymoon
      @LongLongHoneymoon  10 місяців тому

      Thanks, this year I have been trying to better educate myself about Vietnam and what happened during the war. My uncle flew helicopters there, and my cousin was killed there (Don Leslie Michael, Medal of Honor recipient, died in 1967 in Tay Ninh province). Next year in January we are flying into Saigon and I'm going to try to visit Tay Ninh (about 55 miles north of Saigon). There is still B-52 wreckage in Hanoi. We will likely return to Hanoi in January. I will post more content here in the future about our experiences in Vietnam. I try to stay neutral in the videos, but I like your phrase "politician's war" - it's truly hard for me to understand how North Vietnam ever posed any threat to North Alabama, and why my cousin was shipped across the world to die there. If we don't question authority, it will keep on happening. God Bless you and all who faithfully served. I appreciate your comments very much.

    Thank you for sharing this. The fact that the Vietnamese people can be so warm and friendly towards Americans, especially after what our Govt did to them and their Country, says a lot about them. I was drafted in '71 into the Army, and fortunately spent my two years in Germany. I have friends that went to Vietnam, and although they survived and returned home, their lives were forever altered. I'm afraid our current Administration is trying to create this generations Vietnam. I pray for our young people.

    I was in the Air Force 17:27 TDY in Guam during Linebacker II supporting B-52’s many left and some never came back. The memories are hard to fathom as I have lost friends on those Buff’s that didn’t come back.

      Thanks. To be honest, I stepped into the stadium and I saw “linebacker ii” and it kind of threw me off, since we had been in Vietnam a few months before, and have learned so much this year about the war. In three words, you summed up my feelings better than what I expressed in a 20 minute video. Anyway, thanks for your service, thanks for watching, and thanks for sharing here in the comments.

      I am a Linebacker II veteran too. Maybe you should do a little socializing with the families of the air crew that didn't return. We sent 125 B-52's off at one time and we counted them as they took off. When the last one took off from Guam, there was a strange silence, because we knew the power each of those planes had and even felt sorry for the enemy. Until we heard 3 of our planes had been shot down. If you can't have respect for people that served your country, I don't know why you want to set foot on one of the most revered sites of the USAF. Oh yeah, it's just a game. don't worry, I will unsubscribe.

    Great but somewhat sobering video. Guys my age remember the bombings of Vietnam all too well. And yet today we are camped at Lake Conroe Texas next to a young Vietnamese couple with two absolutely beautiful young girls (4yrs & 6y I would guess) whose parents moved here many years ago. As we shared some dog park time together he mentioned they spend 6 months each in Vietnam and 6 months here in the US. Most interesting was his comment that the freedom to live the RV lifestyle here in the US made this all possible. Beautiful.

      Nice! Thanks so much for your comments. I had a hard time editing this video. The painful past is sobering indeed, but I was also hoping to paint some optimism about the present and future. I am encouraged at least by the progress in Vietnam and our interactions with the people. It's encouraging that some things have really gotten a lot better. We are returning to Vietnam next year and I will probably post an update.

    Need to make one small correction. Bear Creek park is NOT a Colorado state park. It is owned and run by the city of Lakewood, CO. Don't want folks to get upset if they try to find it on the Colorado state parks list and can't.

      Thanks for saying so. To be honest, it can be quite disheartening to work on putting together a video like this one and then immediately get verbally ripped apart for doing it. I mean, some people have told me in no uncertain terms that they were unsubscribing and walking away forever because of this content! It would be a lot easier, and no doubt more commercially viable to focus on fart jokes and generator reviews instead. I’m going to try to create at least 10 videos in this series for starters, and then we will reassess. From one old guy to another, thanks for taking the time to share your support.
