"You know that tab of acid I was saving?"
"Yeah?"
"I dropped it"
"Far out man..."
Imagine having no idea about Operation Wandering Soul, being on night watch tripping on acid and you start hearing those noises
@@MrMarkman12345 psychological warfare tapes played in the jungle at the Vietcong, they make the sounds of ghosts yelling out that they can’t find their way home, it was meant to pray on traditional Vietnamese beliefs about the afterlife, so imagine being out at night and hearing the distorted sound of a ghost yelling, there are videos on UA-cam of the tapes, pretty creepy
@@jaredodorizzi4272 When you realize the majority of Vietcong are uneducated farmers who still believe in folklore and ghosts and are getting bullied around by 1st world nations.
@@Jake-dh9qk I think they dropped jumbo condoms as a psyop, where the Vietnamese were supposed to think the US troops were all packing major heat and getting local action all the time too. Not sure about that, might be an urban legend. Kinda funny though!
@@Theweouthereforrealclub- Possible. All sorts of crazy things are done in war. And the story is rather funny.
The howls, the screams, the paranoia. Almost a tear of joy.
The irony here is that those recordings in the background were actually from a US psyops project to fuck with the Viet Cong who thought it was dead Vietnamese souls. Their culture held that if you died and were not returned to your home for burial then your soul was doomed to wander for eternity. Basically meant to give the VC the heebie jeebies. Worked a little bit TOO well.
The howls, the screams, the paranoia, almost a tear of terror
A many tears of terror for many
Shoutout to anyone who did acid in the vietnam war. Savage as fuck
Apocalypse Now was the very first movie I watched on acid and I'm so glad I did, it feels like it was made to be watched while tripping

My father fought in Vietnam, he told me some wild stories of being higher than Jesus Christ on the space shuttle while on patrol.

Dude. This is incredible. The gunfire, the addition of hanoi jane, the muffled voices. A great work of editing.
The first 30 seconds are taken from Battlefield Vietnam (2004) in the opening screen
@@thartiustheslayerofthots7088 it is, he got it mixed up with Tokyo Jane…the IJA did a similar op in the Pacific
"The first few times, i just thought most of the VC looked alike. But it didnt dawn on me until later half of 1970, that i just kept killing the same poor guy over and over again. He was the one without peace, not me."
Listen, I’ve been seeing a bunch of different channels like these pop up after the original one, so I wasn’t going to give this much thought. But that good sir, was gnarly as fuck. The fading into the ghost tapes was absolutely genius. You earned a sub.

My great uncle was in Vietnam. He never told me what unit he was in, but he did tell me his job was to track the Vietcong and NVA through the jungle. He let bits of stories slip as he grew old. As a war obsessed child, I listened intently every time he spoke.
One particular story that stood out took place a few months before the Tet Offensive. He was taken by boat into Cambodia where his mission was to follow a group of Viet Cong through the entirety of the Ho Chi Minh trail. A spy of some sort from the Soviet Union reported a large number of weapons and ammunition being staged at the start of the trail in the north. My uncle was tasked with taking pictures and planting concealed beacons that he said looked like Jane Fonda (not sure what that meant to be honest). He said every precaution was taken for the success of the mission. He said to brass went as far as having Nikon secretly develop a camera with sound dampened mechanisms for taking pictures of the Viet Cong officers and ARVN traitors helping them pass through the south. Apparently towards the end of the mission he had came to know all the men he followed by name. The cheeky fuck went as far as adding one of them on Facebook.
Edit: the beacons looked like dog shit apparently.
With all those secret procedures it sounds like he was probably part of macv sog or Cia doing black ops since the USA couldn't put troops in within laos or cambodia
@@spacesiege11 Tim O’Brian (whom did fight in Vietnam) said that a good story doesn’t have to be real to be true
His missions sound exactly like what the green berets of macv-sog were involved with which would make him an elite soldier to say the least. Look up macv-sog if you haven't already you hear very similar stories from one of the most hard-core fighting groups in American history. Cool story thanks.
@@chrisb-rx9wk Immediately my first thought. My uncle Georgie was in SOG back then and he said the same thing about top priority being the ho chi Minh trail and some facility that we used for staging and some secret crap he won't tell anyone. That man been ranting about fake mainstream news since the 70s and people only started caring now though 🤣
"CHARLIE IN THE TREE!"
*That's like..your opinion man.*
did you know that the phrase "shotgunning" comes from US soldiers in Vietnam loading weed into the barrel of a shotgun and passing it around like a joint?
You're a dumbass. They would blow smoke into the chamber and put the barrel in a friends mouth. They didnt fucking use it as a bowl lmao. Hence why shotgunning is a term used when someone sticks the lit end of a joint in their mouth, and blows the smoke into someone else's
Sounds like that sweet, grimy smell of Napalm in the morning is exactly what's been missing in my life all along.
"The End" but you forced by Vietcong to play russian roulette with your friend
I really like how this version of White Rabbit is a little different in the intonation/inflection than the "regular" version, so to speak.
@ You are totally correct. My mistake. I was actually replying to the slow down reverb one on you tube but must have been stoned and put my comment on this one by mistake. I'm a silly old sausage. Was strong weed though. Respect from England 🙌✌️🏴🎅
Old Germanic warriors would take shrooms and sit upon the night sky on a sacred rock slab in initiation and in battle they would use shrooms. Not sure of the specific tribe but I heard of that
They would do anything that would prepare them for battle, anything to get them pissed and fear nothing in the heat of battle. War wasn't something to be feared, it was a culture to them, a way to appease their gods.
They used amanita muscaria, not the psychedelic mushrooms you are probably thinking if. Amanita is meant to be more like being drunk than a psychedelic trip.
You do not wanna fight someone whose on shrooms, especially in melee
damn, this is battlefield vietnam remix, such a classic
Remember the Vietnam Bad Company DLC? Burning the map down with the flame throwers hit different
@@noahlatham0110 I'd love for dice to bring that back with portal but we can't even get more than 9 guns so I have no hope
The addition of the Ghost tapes, the song choice itself, and the distortion of the soldiers after a while is so fucking on point.

This is what it’s like to watch Apocalypse Now when you’re cross faded
All your wojaks are so well drawn, and they all reflect on how war and hardship really accelerate their sufferer's aging...
P.S: the voice of that Communist Vietnamese psyops/propagandist taunting the American troops in Vietnam really sounds like my mom's voice for some reason lol (she [my mother] is a Han Chinese immigrant)
The drugs probably made the whole ordeal even more traumatising if they ever survived combat while tripping balls.
Holy shit, this is so underrated. Pls keep making these, they are just perfection
Legit giving me flashbacks to my worst trip,
You've captured psychedelic nightare really well
yeah my last bad trip was like this minus the auditory illusions . it was bad simply cus it was too strong and this was when i was 17 and before i learned how maintain control as much as possible . Just remember my vision looking like a bunch of colors mixing and warping together and apart , and being completely overwhelmed and powerless to the drug . A beautiful but also an anxious feeling sometimes .
Oh man, last trip of mine was years ago, simply did too much. It sucked.
*HOWEVER* i could actually see myself on acid in the battlefield for the energy it gives ya
Edit: idk why but i get super active and wanna do stuff while tripping. Racing & FPS are what i used to play religiously when i cant go out
Also, props for the Battlefield: Vietnam throwback. I love the drums in that rendition of the song so much.
Take every story you've ever heard from a real combat vet about how insane, chaotic, and brutal real fighting is....
*Now imagine it on acid*
The inclusion of those American Psy op tapes that were intended to spook Vietkong soldiers is just perfect!
Day 1 - Stalking the camp is getting even weirder, I see a tall woman, a talking mouse. And hostiles chasing rabbits, someone from the tree keeps telling me to call Alice.
Day 2 - Men are playing chess and my Lt is telling me to shoot the guys chasing rabbits, THE WOLVES ARE HOWLING AGAIN, WHY IS HE CRYING, THERES MG CHATTER AAAA
Tripping on patrol in Vietnam is probably the worst possible thing ever to exist in all of humanity forever. Couldn’t imagine a worse torture.
I Put a Spell on You by CCR but you're in a bar in Saigon partying and having flashbacks trying to forget about your SOG recon team getting wiped out in the jungles of southern Laos.
absolutely naughty edit
Having battlefield Vietnam flashbacks. That game was intense for its time
The opening of this has to be one of the best openings I’ve ever heard
This is the most captivating one yet, watched it tripping balls and felt like I was actually up the Nung river headed into Cambodia.
The Vietnamese scream in the video was belong to an ARVN army men pretending to be a ghost of a Viet Cong telling comrades to come home to scare/ low their morale. I..ah understand what he saying and still got creeped out
My grandpa was balls deep in nam and he recently told me like 50% of the american military was high as shit a fair bit of the time
Dude all the stuff you do is so cool but for this one specifically, the audio from Operation Wandering Spirit is absolutely elite.
"I'm still just in Saigon"
People always get tripping wrong, but this song on anything psychedelics is fucked
Tbh I found this level of distortion to be kind of accurate during a bad LSD trip
@@fiorebrannen4768 eh I've had very strong trips and the worst I got was a deathclaw in my bathroom wall
@@fiorebrannen4768 then again lsd is weird my trips are always weird I can't fully remember them just that I defo didn't have stuff waving about, ket does that tho
@@fiorebrannen4768 did it in the woods once and the trees were fucking vibrating 🤣🤣🤣
Can you even imagine ? Hot hell and wet mush, the violent miasma of decay assaulting your nose. Patches of sunlight slice through the moist quagmire of bugs, lumbering on through sticky bush. Waiting for contact.
Totally gonna start saving these on a playlist, would make awesome background ambience for some really cool stuff
the background melting more and more as it went on was a nice touch
When I am watching Vietnam War documentaries, I always hear Fortunate Son, All Along the Watchtower, and Buffalo Springfield....first time I am hearing it with Jefferson Airplane. Love it, yet I can only imagine how traumatizing it must have been. Thank you for sharing!
I'm both a big Jefferson Airplane fan and a massive history dork. This is an awesome video my guy.
the trip sound effects are so realistic man good editing bro
"They told me to take 1, but I took 4 after I didn't think they worked. I thought my sergeant was a mantis. This is hell."
ok this is your best one yet
I love how the lyrics is literally just " [insanity intensifies] "
I love the ghost tape 10 audio thrown in there
My blood is too thick for Vietnam. Ive never been able to properly express myself in this climate.
"Hey soldier, do you know who's in command here?"
"Yeah..."
“They’re spirts are dancing around us, popping and locking mostly”
My favorite edit in this genre the fading into the wandering soul tape amazing!
What's scary with those hallucinations is you know its hallucination but fear and paranoia is still crawling on you.
This is for all my grunts in 'Nam who humped in the bush, pulling point, all while on a tab of orange sunshine.
i assume pulling point means being pointman, and that’s absolutely the last position i’d wanna be in while on LSD hahaha. If your trips going good i imagine it isn’t a bad way to go if contact is made
I can see this audio playing in the intro to a war film… particularly about troops going into combat high.
I could not EVEN IMAGINE tripping in the middle of combat in Vietnam. That's a traumatic experience waiting to happen bro

@@danielharshman796 Lol thanks, i was literally high writing it.
It is so formidable that you included the ghost tape from "Operation Wandering Souls"
I bet American soldiers fear this more than Vietnamese
So glad you added the "ghost" recordings!!
"Trippin balls" yeah I bet! Every soldier there had huge balls so no wonder they were tripping on their own balls!
That rice of that village tastes a bit strange
I love these songs… please keep it up!! Genius.
Such nice drawings this is a great video and your edits are super great keep it up
Damn, for once this actually kinda works. Usually I'm not the biggest fan of these but in this case the chaos of the different audio and the persistence of the marching drums blend together in an oddly beautiful psychedelic haze. Y'know, aside from the war crimes at the end, of course.
@@Garland_From_FF1 No. Villagers, probably. It happened too often in that war.
The men who were wasted in vietnam and survived must have the craziest stories

This is nightmare that Hunter S. Thomson definitely had.
This actually got me trippin
Imagine being in a firefight deep in the jungles of Vietnam and your peaking on psychedelics? Damn that would be one hell of a trip man!
@@nazarderkach9320Happens WAY more often that people realize. From then to know, armies love to pump their dudes full of narcotics.
Dawg the screen distorting actually fucked me up lmao I had to make sure I had, in fact, not ingested anything
Same. Probably one of the more accurate depictions of being on (heavy) psychedelics. Whoever made it has real experience.
@@AM-xh9iq I think it was the speed it distorts. Most tripping videos are just flashy, wiggly, shaky, and buzzing. But this is a natural climb to the apex.
My Grandpa barley set foot on Vietnam. He was in the Navy. He transported Special Ops soldiers under the cover of night behind enemy lines because they were so deep into enemy territory, they would've been easily spotted during the day. They would transport the special units and leave, then return a few hours later to pick up the soldiers that made it back. The casualty rate was high for the missions he ran. Most of the time, they were lucky to have even 1 casualty after the mission was run.
He was stationed on the submarine, the U.S.S. Perch. They had a specific time they were supposed to leave if no one came to the submarine after the mission. If no soldiers arrived after 30 minutes of them waiting, they were ordered to leave. Later, he had to go on the shore in their territory so he could clean up the bodies. He lost most of his childhood friends and he had to pick their limbs off of trees and out of bushes.
As he walked through the jungle, hundreds of bodies would float down the river. He said that it was a common thing for soldiers to be ambushed and stabbed in the neck. The Vietnamese would take the Americans, still bleeding, and throw them into the river so the blood would flow far to intimidate the Americans. He got severe trauma from it. To this day, he can never go into a public place without always having a seat that faces the entrance of the building, so he can always see who enters. I don't know, but it seems like he has unfinished business with his past that still haunts him. Perhaps he's been needing to pay a debt to someone, because even in his own home, he always faces the door.
you need to make more vietnam ones. the vietnam war and this style of video go hand in hand

Next time you're with someone on acid and they start saying stuff like "oh is that real?" Just tell them: What if I told you that they're both in your head *and* real? What if by being in your head *makes* them real?
Then sit back and watch your friend's existential crisis unfold
