I too was a medic in the Army in Vietnam. When I arrived in Vietnam the Medic that I was relieving warned me not to wear an armband. He also handed me his .45 and told me to forget the Geneva Convention. The enemy didn't follow it, so neither did we.

A man after my own heart, I carried an Ithaca Riot gun and a 45 as well. We never got the arm bands when I got there in late 67.
Model 37, the Deerslayer? My father lived & breathed by that shotgun. Growing up, over there, and after he came home, too. A good, reliable weapon, for sure.
Welcome home soldier
@@seanspruck ~I am also older, I was not in the military but I had a long barrel Ithaca model 37 back in the 1970’s for duck and goose hunting. It was faulty and dropped live shells out the bottom. I unfortunately got rid of it. My 1960 made Remington 870 Wingmaster is my very favourite being reliable and ball bearing butter smooth. But the worst shotgun I have ever had is the Mossberg 590A1 rough rattling junk clunkmaster.
Thank you for your service
870 cut down was pretty useful.
Not much walked out from buckshot.
Welcome Home Brother!
This is a very well-spoken, sharp man with character. God bless.
He's a HERO in MY BOOK !!
Those guys went through HELL over there !!! AND, WHAT'S WORSE, IS WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH RIGHT HERE IN THEIR HOMELAND !!!

I was a combat medic in Nam ‘67. I put all my medical gear in claymore bags (so my aid bag wouldn’t give me away) and carried an M-79 (grenade launcher) and .45 pistol. I was happy not to get a Purple Heart. I spent my second Nam tour in the Saigon US Hospital as a surgical tech. We got a few days of sniper fire during Tet was all.
I thought that a purple heart was an honor from the people you served. Why weren't you honored, and how could you be glad for such?
@lennoxrobinson5858 The Purple Heart Medal was/is given to service personnel who were wounded in the line of duty. It's not a "participation" Medal. He was glad that he didn't get one, because he'd have to have been wounded to obtain one.
CID officer got one , when he investigated a arms for sex scandal happing so he says gave a hooker a grenade for a blow job she bite him .. he wrote it up differently so yeah he got the medal . Meanwhile guys were on patrol for days getting wounded didn’t get shyt . So yeah some of it is bull shyt we all know guys who drunkenly fell out of a jeep n the officer whom was partying w em wrote it up as a Purple Heart .
Thank you brother I know Tet was a motherf**ker. I'm glad you made it home. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@lennoxrobinson5858
You have to actually be injured in combat to get a purple heart. He's glad he didn't get shot.
Medics and Corpsmen are the unsung heroes of every war! Going back and forth under fire.
You, Sir, are a HERO!

The truth about the Vietnam War that was never fully told. United States had No intention of winning the Vietnam War from the very beginning. Fear it might become like the Korean War with mass continuing Communist Chinese troops from China pouring against American military force in Vietnam. And the threat of a thermal nuclear War with the Soviet Union during the Cold War following the Cuban missile crisis that happen in 1962. The Vietnam War started during the Civil Rights movement and racial tension between whites and blacks all across America. Several members in the US government were segregationist and they had their eyes dumping their Blacks problem on Vietnam with all the chaos that was happening in Vietnam at that time between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam. At that time, the South Vietnamese had 250,000 troops and North Vietnamese had 60,000 troops and the DMZ line had already been establish at the 17th parallel. Many Vietnamese peoples from both North and South did Not support going to War and killing each other over the idea of Communist. Even though several North and South Vietnamese leaders believe Vietnam should Not be divided and try to distrupt one another. But they couldn't rally enough support among the Vietnamese peoples in Vietnam to support going to War. Until Nov. 2, 1963 When US President JF Kennedy and LB Johnson order their CIA to stage a military coup assasination on a catholic South Vietnamese President, Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. This action gave America the power to do what ever they want to Vietnam and to the Vietnamese peoples. And the US appointed an ex-Vietminh soldiers for Ho Chi Minh, Nguyễn Văn Thiệu as their puppet South Vietnamese President. The South Vietnamese President who cause the lives of 500,000 South Vietnamese troops killed or capture by the North Vietnamese army and their communist allies The Pathet Lao army, and the Communist Khmer Rouge army of Cambodia when he order them to be station and patrol in Kampuchea. And who told Nguyễn Văn Thiệu to do so? The United States, fear more Americans troops will be killed in Kampuchea. 20 days after the military coup assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. US President JF Kennedy was assasinated in Dallas, TX on Nov 22, 1963 and LB Johnson was sworn in as the 36th US President. On Aug 10, 1964, US President LB Johnson declare US military action to Vietnam over an alleged attack on a US destroyer, Maddox that was on patrol past the 17th parallel near Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam while supporting South Vietnam. 500,000 US ground troops was sent to fight in Vietnam. 40% of those US troops that were sent to fight in Vietnam were adult blacks male along with high school drop out white male, non-college white male, trouble teen white male, and white convict male were all sent to fight in Vietnam. And when these US troops arrive in Vietnam and did their "Search and Destroyed mission." The Communist North Vietnamese gain mass support for their cause and their army grew from 60,000 troops to over 1,000,000 troops. On March 16, 1968, several group of US platoons military unit rape and massacre 500 Vietnamese villagers of women, childrens, and old peoples at the village called My Lai during their Search and Destroyed mission. When news and image of My Lai massacre broadcast all across America. There was a mass out cry of protest all across America demanding all US millitary force pull out of Vietnam. This lead to Republican Presidential candidate Richard Nixon winning the Nov. 3, 1968 US Presidential election. The following year, when Richard Nixon took office. His 1st excutive order was to pull out all US military force out of Vietnam. By then, the communist North Vietnamese army was already infiltrate all over in South Vietnam and attacking every where since the Tet offensive that happen on Jan 30, 1968 - Sept 23, 1968. President Nixon order a nonstop US B52 bombers to bombed Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam and its seaport military supply, Haiphong. This halted the advance of the North Vietnamese army taking over all of South Vietnam. The South Vietnamese army began retaking back many city and town from Communist North Vietnamese in the South. But all that end, on August 8, 1974 when US President Richard Nixon made a televise annoucement of his resignation as US President to American peoples over the Watergate Scandal. A few months later the US Congressional election on Nov. 5, 1974. The Democrats party won a landslide in the US Senate and the House of Representative. The following year in 1975, the newly elected Democrats took their seat in Congress. The 1st bill of law pass was to cut off all US military aids funding to South Vietnam. This action cause the Fall of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975 to communist North Vietnam. Thus began a mass flow of Vietnamese refugee fleeing out of Vietnam. 10 of thousands of Vietnamese refugee died at sea from hunger, thirst, illness, Thai pirates, and Chinese warships. Today over 100's of thousands young South Vietnamese childrens are born of birth defect from the US toxic biological chemical, Agent Orange which the US military spray all over rivers and forest of South Vietnam. 3,000,000 innocent Vietnamese civilians of women, childrens, and old peoples had to die in their country during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War is the worse United States War Crime in history. From Truman, JF Kennedy and LB Johnson were all were WWI and WWII veteran who sent the next young American men to become killers. Why I post this is because for years I'm tired Americans use Vietnam War as a Propaganda War story. Telling peoples that they there to help South Vietnam fight against communist North Vietnam. When America is the root cause for the Vietnam War and the downfall of South Vietnam. Why the Vietnam War was never officially declare.

Ngô Đình Diệm was a educated Vietnamese politician who was appointed by Vietnam Emperor Bảo Đại Nguyễn and France as President of South Vietnam. United States under President Truman agreed to keep American present in Vietnam on the belief of the Southeast Asia Dominos effects falling into communist. Truman was the US President who got American involved in Vietnam. That later change when a WWII Veteran JF Kennedy became US President in 1961 and LB Johnson was his Vice President and all this happening during the Civil Rights Movement that was spreading all across America over whites and blacks.
Good to have you back Doc.
The only rule in war is Survive.
“Overnight stay in the field”.
Humble badass. ❤
The fact that War has rules is totally insane in the first place.
Thank you, Doc. My cousin was a combat medic 68-70 who got dropped off by the Riverines. He carried two 45s and all the grenades he could carry. He is now passed and I miss him.
My Condolences.
My good friend was a riverine during Vietnam. One of his stories has stayed with me. His boat was going down the river when they came under fire. Everyone on deck scrambled to defend themselves and the boat. My friend especially remembers how the gunner on his one side and another on his left were hit. Then one in front & behind. I'm not 100% sure, but he was the only one left on the boat. I think it left him with heavy survivors guilt. He was very insightful and caring. Vietnam was awful here in the States due to the conflict of protestors for peace. It was the last war with the draft.
Thank you to ALL Vietnam Vets.I am so grateful to ALL of you.I have several high school
friends who were there.
What a load of crap.... They invade a country and expect people to follow their rules while using agent orange and napalm... I swear Americans have no logic.

Hence the “Free Fire “ zones !
Of course not. There were desperate people just defending their homes. United States were the agressor and invasor. US did not respect Genebra Convention or anything when they bombed the hell out poor villages and genocided millions of innocents.

Thank you to all Corpsman that paved the way for us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. And to the Marines for treating us like one of their own. 🇺🇸🍻🇺🇸
I was an Army Combat Engineer, and I was attached to the Marines many times. The Corpsmen I saw brought the utmost respect out of me. They carried the biggest packs, marched up and down the ranks on those 'little hikes,' (lol) and when a rest was called, they didn't. They went around to everyone making sure they got what they needed that he could provide (socks, powder, etc.).

Do you know what happen to all Vietnamese villeragers who were suspect as Vietcong or Vietcong that were caught during US military soldier on their "Search and Destroy" mission? They were taken to the Intellengent in South Vietnam. Which was run by US Intel personnel. The Vietcong or suspect Vietcong would be blind fold and their hand tie behind their back and taken to a US helicopter. The US helicopter would fly high up in the sky of Vietnam. The US intel personnel would try to abstract information from the Vietcong or suspect Vietcong by threaten them to throw them out of the helicopter to their death if they refuse to tell them what they want to know. Many Vietcong and suspect Vietcong was thrown out of the US helicopter to their death. Violating the article of Warfare under the Geneva Convention. Why there "No Prison Camp" in South Vietnam after the Vietnam War. United States committed so many War Crime during the Vietnam War that the US military in Vietnam became like the Japanese army of WWII. Many was never told to American peoples and a lot was cover up and lied about the War was fed to American peoples.

@@ladyrose508because the South asked for our help, and throughout America's almost 300 year history anytime a free people are being oppressed in the world the United States does what is right and assist them in staying free instead of being oppressed and under the boot of communist fascist authoritarians or autocrats or all of the above.

Whatever was sacrificed by US combat vets had nothing to do with defending democracy or even helping the Vietnamese. It was simply the U$ government trying to establish itself around the world and secure it's own hegemony so that it could call the shots and create new vassal states and to be able to exploit them.

It was righteous and the South Vietnamese to this day thank you for your attempt to save them. The sacrifice of 58,000 American lives in a war that took 1M+ lives on both sides is a small price to pay to stem the spread of Russian, Chinese, and predominantly Israeli led communism across the world.

@magnetsoldiercephas331 Resisting communism and Marxism is never wrong.

As a Navy Seabee, in the field I carried an M14, and two swarms, a Colt 45 on a side holster and a 32 on a shoulder holster since sometimes I drove fuel trucks and I could not retrieve the 14 from the cab when my hands were fueling equipment.
God bless this man and the men that fought the war. Welcome home gentleman, grateful for your sacrifice 🫡

I know this is going to illuminate my stupidity, but it didn’t occur to me so bluntly before reading your comment.
So...
Thanks.
