- Опубліковано 27 кві 2020
- The 24 Green Berets stationed at Lang Vei act as “force multipliers”-their mission is to train allied indigenous troops and lead them on covert reconnaissance patrols. Operating deep within enemy territory, the risk of death or capture is extremely high.

![Elite Soldiers Fight For Their Lives In Enemy Territory | Special Forces [4K]](/img/n.gif)
I have on three separate experienced the chaos of war, but no where the he’ll those men endured. Dominican Republic 1965, Vietnam twice. 65-66, 69-70 plus coups riots and protests throughout South America. I am now 84. Proud to have served.
Thank you for your service
Vietnam dogs
Thank you for your service!
God bless and thank you for your service.
Thank You❤️🇺🇸
I remember this very well. I arrived in country the beginning of Feb 68. at Tan Nhan Nut in Saigon during the TET OFFENSIVE. Our fire support base was in the Mekong Delta. I was attached to the 9th. Inf. div. I can't imagine what my fellow brothers went through going up against the NVA. The LAW rockets had no effect on the tanks. I am glad that many made it out alive and truly sorry that 1 had to spend 5 years as a POW. My heart goes out to the family members and friends of the ones that made the ultimate sacrifice. RIP my fellow brothers. You will never be forgotten.
You have my respect and admiration, as well as your brothers in arms.
WELCOME HOME, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SACRIFICE....
Interesting….
My uncle was there around that time. The 9th Infantry he was with in the Mekong Delta was up against VC, not the NVA because they were so far south. Did they split the 9th up?
Sure Barry Obama.
The MAC-V SOG guys did some of the most legendary combat operations I’ve ever heard of.
My great uncle, James Moreland, was a medic at Lang Vei. He was missing in action for nearly 50 years before we brought him home. I got to meet the commander and several of the men from his unit when he laid my great uncle to rest. These men are heros. Dennis Thompson is a personal hero for what he endured.
He was a brave man. Welcome home James. You are not forgotten.
They were brave men certainly.It is a tragic waste of life on all sides. Uncle Sam should not have started a war in Vietnam. The tragedy is felt today in Lao where the CIA employed and took advantage of the Hmong people of Lao to fight against their fellow countrymen. That is a wound that will probably never heal. It was all to do with American arrogance and greed.
Glad he finally made it back and May he rest in peace. We don't know them all but we owe them all. 🇺🇲
What those men went through in that battle would make a great movie if done right.
God bless your soul James you are a man that many wish they could be you have The bravery and soul that many men can never have and each and every day I think men like you for our freedom God bless you sir welcome home and rest in peace and FERAL PUP GAMING, you are lucky to have somebody as brave as your uncle and your family God bless you once again your uncle and your family. I wanted to join the military so I could become a sniper or try to join the Navy seals but due to some unfortunate circumstances I was not able to
Never underestimate the green berets,THEY are badasses
This had me in tears of joy, of proud I am to be American and Amen to these courageous gentleman that fought and died.
I worked with one of those former green berets, he wasn't at that camp but right down the road from it and helped with their recovery. He was a Gunsmith at Fort Bragg and I worked in night vision, this was in 2004 and he was in his 80's. He went in the Army a few years after WW2 and was a E-7 by the Vietnam era. I can't recall his first name but his last name was Pipkins, we all called him Mister P. He started off as a mule skinner in the 10th mountain division.
My father in law! Sgt. Major Duane Carl Vierk , mastered in CIA operations, all over
My father in law, Duane Carl Vierk, retired with highest CIA awards!
Incredible Americans fighting a war that we had no business being in. God bless those that fought and died in that war.
A country being over run by communist isn’t a reason to help the south Vietnam? It worked for Korea and look what’s happened to those two countries. I get what your saying maybe usa could of handled it differently but you have to understand usa during that time and today will do anything and everything to not let communism spread or some countries get nukes.
That was very courageous of President Johnson to vow to hold Khe Sahn like that.
People forget that soldiers just follow order given from another. To hate is your decide only.
I could never make it as a Green Beret. Thank you for your service.
Thank you for showing and recapping the story back on yester yrs. Bravely Americans soldiers. Both sides paid a vey heavy price of life. I was in Loas at that time. North Vietnamese soldiers paid lots of their life in Loas too. Mr. Hochimin hidding lots of his dead men in Loas without telling the outside world to know.
He hid most of the bodies so they could be consumed at a later date if their food supply was ever cut completely off. They were crazy like that and would cannibalize their own troops.
Why north and south can't get along
Its infuriating to think that so many americans have an opinion based on Uncle Sams propaganda which is the realm of fantasy. You are also insulting the country and displaying your ignorance when you cant even spell the name correctly.
@@declanmurphy6427 Its pretty clear that Houa Moua is not American, but was thanking American soldiers as a native of the area. They can probably spell in their native language better than in English... You are the one who is disrespectful.
@@crihsagnlel Houa Moua, by supporting Uncle Sam in Laos, is a traitor to the country.
I will never complain of a bad day again. Nothing i go through or have ever been through comes close to this situation. My love and respect to all who have served past and present.
Omg...my father fought in the Philippines in ww2 and was captured on bataan...he was in the bataan death march and spent 3 1/2 years as a pow...starvation...torture...slave labor... God bless these brave soldiers who fought in Vietnam...the bravest of the brave!
Thank you for your father's sacrifices and to all soldiers who give their lives defending the country of Philippine and its people. GOD bless you all hero soldiers.
I don't know why anybody would give this a thumbs down, but with the direction our country is heading these days it doesn't surprise me.
Much as I admire the great professionalism of the Green Berets and all US forces, I also admire my own Rhodesian and South African troops.
We must remember soldiers are just pawns to the politicians.
A US officer speaking to a NVA officer many years after the fall of Saigon and the North's total victory said, "You know we never lost one battle to you Vietcong/NVA".
The NVA officer smiled at him and replied, " well that maybe true but it is also totally irrelevant".
Rhodesia used to be a world class country
In a sense the NVA soldier was correct, because in the end the north won the war. Now we’re trading partners with a unified Vietnam. What was all the death and destruction really all about anyway?
Brave young men sacrificed for nothing by their own government. If only politicians could be held accountable.
Thank y’all for your service and sacrifices!!!!!! I will never forget this video and those MEN of the Green Beret !!
Well done! Never Forget. De Oppresso Liber
This story is better than most missions created in a call of duty game respect !!!
From one sgt Alan to another thanks for taking point like a savage.
If you've never served you won't understand the love you develop for your buddies.
I may of not served over seas or in any military capacity, I have served as a volunteer Firefighter so I personally understand the love for my buddies. And that love for your buddies is the exact same love that our military guys know and respect. The only difference is the capacity you proudly serve in!
Oh so you served???
@@sanynava he claims to be an army vet, so I'm going to say yes, he served
A realization to appreciate the freedom we have now.
@Frank Abagnale They're doing their best to prevent the virus from spreading. To protect the people and keep them safe. Frontliners have sacrificed their lives for us. If you would rather go out and die then go for it. Hopefully no one will get infected because of you.
Thinking "I've got to say something out of respect then reading your words I think that is it that is all I can say which both honest about never serving and yet still knowing at one point that fighting for survival of my body but not detached from my very own moral. Thanks YVO
Vietnam has nothing to do with US, US just invaded Vietnam under false flag.
0% respect to green verets, 100% respect to vietamenese soldier wihch fight against invaders, what freedom un USA has to do with Vietnam?
@@dentolaboratory2044 yeah, green verets really sucked...
is THIS not what makes the difference? ADVISED WILL POWER whatever war...Respect!
What a shame. Special Forces won't surrender to anyone
Wow!! Awesome stories!! I was never in the military. I can't even imagine having this type of experience.
Those are true warriors for sure!
I respect warriors on every level.🇺🇸😊
To these tough SOBs I really admire you and your unit. Thank you!
That’s unusual that they said it was a trap and they would not come and rescue them. They should at least hit them with a bunch of ordinance.
Very incredible story. They did their job above and beyond in my opinion. Must be a real terrible gut wrenching feeling to have to make the choices they did about their troops left behind. Brave bunch indeed 👍💯🇨🇦😲
Such an excellent series! I could never measure up to these warriors, but I respect them for their abilities, courage, and determination. Bravo Zulu!
And here we are half a century later battling the enemy within our own country
How
Luckily trump lost the battle
~@46:40 Sgt Thompson is HELLUVA Man! A rarity these days. Wow! Brother you truly are a force to be reckoned with, G-Ds son. Glad to have you on our side you tough SOB!!
True professionals and highly trained.
YES! I've been looking for this for YEARS. This documentary was what helped get me into more modern wars. Before I saw it, I was exclusively about WW2. It also helped me appreciate just how big of BADASSES special operations units are.
I'm glad they mentioned the losses the North suffered. The Tet Offensive is seen as this great victory for the North but it wasn't. It was a disaster. Over a 1/3rd of the Viet Cong were wiped out. Their numbers would have to be filled by regular NVA troops. All their gains were reversed. Had the public stayed true to the cause, South Vietnam would still exist.
Thats the thing the Vietnam War was a disaster anyways we won the battles but the jagoff wigs wouldnt let us win the war. We have and always will have the capabilities to annihilate and occupy any country on this planet, but we have 1 weekness, our prideful benevolence.
My Father was in world war 2 and he made it home
I am in absolute awe! I salute all of our troops. Such courage, especially to go back into battle time after time after time.... is astounding! Surely there must be a special place in Heaven for those who risk their lives and too often die for us. Thank you.
Thank God for those soldiers that fought for our may God bless them and they're four they're spectacular and devotion for our freedom
And I thank you for your service....I can’t say enough how proud I I’m for your protecting my freedom. Thank you....Thank you...Thank you
Who’s freedom was protected exactly?!
Vietnamese weren't out to steal our freedom.
@@rc59191Exactly. Can't these people think outside the box for one minute.
@@markandaimeelouExactly they didn't protect our freedom. I mean do these people know how to critically think before they say.
Trip flares in the wire, don't pop up into the air and float down on parachutes. They were not red either. Trip flares, everywhere I was at, were tied together so if one was tripped, the other about 5-6 feet away went off, and you would shoot between them at what it was that tripped the flares.
Tanks may make a rumbling sound (more like a roar before the M1), but they don't shake then ground. I grew on military bases in the 1950's and 1960's and was around amour of all sorts. Even when 10 to 15 M60 tanks were running by on the road, the ground did not shake!
Eugene Ashley Jr is a MOH recipient! DOL4LIFE
45:00 man that gave me chills right there! I can only imagine his feelings of elation and hope.
Absolute Heros.
This needs to be a full movie and make it right
The green beret were good, but Vietcong troops was vastly superior. The world will never forget this.
Great work soldiers fighting spirit to survive no matter what it takes gods on your side peace Senpai Fi.
You should have a look at the Australian troops at fire bases Coral,, Balmoral and Manly .Six weeks string in the ho Chi Minh trale and theost of 26 men and who many nva and vc is unknown but a hell of a lot to .With surport from the US chopper teams who were unreal to .Artistry from us,NZ and the us to did a unbelievable job to and saved alot of lives to
watching to this video, I'm crying ! how painful those Armys at that time. ! I love you America Armys 🙏🙏
Why do Americans want to interfere with all other countries. I know once they needed titanium and they destroyed one country! Nasty
@@Nightwatchfiles RIP Titaniumakanistan 🙄🤣🤷🏻♀️🇺🇸
@@Nightwatchfiles Do you live in US,??
Thank you Brothers in arms.
You are loved and respected!
Gotta love the M16A2s being used in a Vietnam Doc.
HOLY SMOKES, what an amazing story! These men inspire me to be a better version of myself and to never give up!
I love wonders' narrator's
I've read alot of accounts, docs, books, etc. but I've never run across this engagement. Evidently my research is far from being completed. This one amazed me. Great stuff. Tragic, heroic. Thanks.
Who loves WONDER?
👇🏼
Brave men indeed!
I don't think there was 1 soldier there that did not deserve the medal of honor, they survived torture with no way out. Bravery ain't the word. They don't make men like this anymore.
This builds in me Courage & hope behond frastration. Wonderful
My father was a tunnel rat in vietnam,and a year in desert storm before he got out... that's about time he did in combat.
This is the best I have ever seen!
Absolutely incredible. Wow. Hulk. You guy's are truly something else. Men of another caliber. Definitely. There are no tougher men than I've ever heard of. True grit. Best of best American soldiers.
Funny enough the German and French military are actually far more experienced in overall training and mindset. Then again when I think of Americans, I see prideful people who don't really care for their soldiers and instead keep their oversized eyes pointed to a imaginary pissing fight. Americans in general are a deep sadness for me. Places like Texas and California taking the lead for top most gun related murders numbering in the appalling 3000's a year. It puts a slight easy to my mind when I see places like Brazil, Estonia, France, Greece, Qatar, Sweden, and Turkey placing their citizens in the military to experience the affects of war for a year. There's a certain respect those countries give to their citizens that make it so they can hold a intelligent understanding for the mind of a soldiers and the weapons they handle. But on the other hand you have the Insufferable American's that have so many bloody guns the poor police and enforces have to use so many tactics to ensure their safety as a person they end up looking like the bad guys. In gods sake I'd rather be placed in a Vegas shooting than watch this horrible propaganda again. Besides that, good on you for such a tool.
@@thaholybibizzlev1356 Wrong, on all accounts. The US military is badass! Oh, and 99.97 % of all US legal gun owners never commit a crime with them. The urban criminals commit most of the murders. Cities run by leftist hypocrites who really care NOTHING for the people or their rights. God Bless the USA!
Amazing to hear how those in command questioned highly trained troops on the ground to the extent of asking them to describe the vehicles attacking them AFTER they had already reported they had tanks at the perimeter wire. How the hell could you misidentify a tank?
Thank you!!!! Exactly. I just completely *cannot understand that*……. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ I mean, why would they be lying about that at all in the first place anyway?????
It's not like they're green berets /s
They always do. Timestamp a few weeks ago.
The command radio receiver was skeptical about tanks......maybe in his intire life dont believe NV cannot aquired tanks....the mistakes that bring disaster to their fellow soldiers and their whole camps.
The generals were desk soldiers -Hesitation has always been amaeican generals failure . The grunts can fight but the top level leaders were all book soldiers
America is a great country
M16 models and other weapons weren't yet made, even if that, still some damned intense fight.
I can not believe how they endured the tear gas. Unfortunately, they were not equipped for that. Grenades in a confined space are devastating. It’s a shame there were no escape routes out the back.
We need part 2 of this
Wow God bless you. Your courage, sacrifice, determination shows the best of the American soldier. God bless America.
This is wonderful, keep it up
Those men (boys really) were just as loyal, brave, fierce and scared, as those who went to the beaches on D-Day. But, they have never been properly recognized as such.
Absolutely incredible!!!!
Sgt Alan is a baaaaaad man you can just tell by his expressions. He’s a extraordinary greenie beenie
If the tank relied on the search light, shooting it out could have slowed the tank.
An excellent video and portrayal of the attack on Lang Vei. I'm disappointed that they failed to mention another Green Beret that was there and was captured, a good friend whom I had the honor and privilege of serving with later on, at the time of Lang Vei Sp5 William G. McMurray, who later retired a E8 or E9.
William G Mcmurry thank you for your service. May you rest in peace
@@kevinu9320 are you kidding me! William Gross McMurray of Arizona?
Amazing men! What raw courage!
Wow! What a nightmare! What courage!
RESPECT.
These are real hero's The best trained men
you've never lived until you've almost died. Thing is, you don't know how true that is until you've gone thru it.
Seeing the elephant.
Look at that trigger discipline at 36:19 lmao
Tough guys those green berets
respect to these warriors ,,, and that's one smart gun there - 36:19 😁
A great episode. Thank you for posting.
Always admire these special forces best of the best
Speechless
Brave men.
Why is this not a big movie yet 🤔
Should made movie out of it Full metal jacket had some of it great story Glad you guys survive
Wrong!! Lang Vei was NOT in Full Metal Jacket !! Full Metal Jacket had part of the battle for Hue in it. I was in the Lang Vei area in 2014.
Sending all my love and respect to all of you!
Freya Blight cool name. Is Freya Nordic?
@@charliemike13 Yes from Old Norse Freyja. She was a Fertility Goddess, and I got the nickname after becoming a mom. I got pregnant young, but since people told me I ruined my life I wanted to prove them wrong. I started working 2 days after he was born, and earned the respect of my town.
@@FrejaBlight awesome. Thanks for thinking of us veterans. Bless you're life .
@@FrejaBlight ok I truly love that story of turning around that insanely unfair judgment into something heroic, triumphant, clearly true to your integral character and nature, and also something that I am sure your child(ren) will absolutely look up to you and adore you for!

True heroes
Damm . . . . if the background music were not so loud, I might actually be able to understand the narration. Plz remaster audio mix.
Thank you all for your services
The guy underneath the bunker were real brave men, so God them lucky to be alive. Good war story.
The Vietnamese were very smart. They modified and adapted to many scenario’s. it seems most Nations at war adapt well and prove to be extremely dangerous for their times. It scares me to think of what the next great war will bring. The technology level is now at a no-win level. The weapons we have now can’t be used if mankind is to continue evolving. We’re like little kids with big toys that we don’t even know how to use. It’s getting extremely dangerous. I pray for world peace in these uncertain times. Maybe it would be better for us to be forced to all band together to defend against an Alien threat, than to continue fighting each other for money and power.
The special forces men are just fantastic!! Our media lost the war for us!
Our media is an enemy that we pay with our money to destroy us from within.
my hats off to the green beret, especially at long vei.... am a southern Vietnamese.
Tanks? no problem, let give them these untested weapons and let hope that they would work, not a big deal. what a sad joke. Awful leadership, oh course they were hiding some where or sleeping at home. Shameful that these brave men had to fight under their's orders. God bless these heroes.
So true..
Who was in n charge of those stupid laws
No, no, the US embassy in Vietnam did not ‘fall’ during Tet in 1968. Some VC penetrated the compound fences, but they were quickly eliminated by the Marine guards.
Hello. Thank you for your service. Be safe out there people. Love to all
These guys were the second to last generation of real man
That's a hell of a thing to survive.
They definitely needed new underwear after all these ambushes.
It takes Patience.. Courage and what?.. Commentator I didn't hear the last word... Though this was great..kudos SF
Big brass BALLS!
Unnecessary war took lots of precious lives
I’m here because of lockdown 🤔
Who cares fuggin millennial
Thank you for your service and Welcome Home!
These dam LAWs ( anti tank weapon) should have been tested against that type of tank before being issued out to the U.S. Troops !!! What the Hell!!!
They should be able to know that regard to ww2 and Korea war when they came in contact with the same type of tanks
My guess the LAWs that bumped off the armor hadn’t wound up by firing too close, I’d say this was a training issue, not the weapons.
With the American Air Power,it would really suck to be a NVA tank crewman
Maybe so but they still won the war!
@@markandaimeelouAnd they were defending their country.
