  • He's back!
    By popular request, my friend Marvin sat down with me to tell me more about his adventures in Vietnam and the U.S. Marines. He begins by telling us about his service with Lt. Charles Krulak (son of General Victor "Brute" Krulak), who would later become Commandant of the Marine Corps.
    This is Part 1. More videos of Marvin to be uploaded soon.

      I second your statement, any stories that aren't told are lost to time. Although there are some stories better left untold, I still think its precious enough to hear about a Veteran's perspective of the war. Something money definitely can't buy, or bring back.

      The channel owner should do this. Let their stories be available. I'd rather hear from them than Hollywood about the conflict.

    my grandpa served in Vietnam and he got drunk at the bar and next to the bar was a little wood carving shop and he stumbled in and started to ask for something but then passed out with his middle finger out and when he woke up he was laying in the street with a few bucks missing from his pocket and there was a exact wooden replica of his hand doing the middle finger laying next to him and we still have it

    Marvin's stories are very historically educational, I never knew about the bases they built Specifically for the Vietnamese villagers and that snakes killed soldiers and Vietnamese more commonly than Vietcong. Waiting more of Marvin's great stories and it would be great to hear from friends he was stationed with and here there great stories. Historic stories like these need to be recorded to show in the future when they no longer are here to tell us them selves, So thank you Bret for this Document and hope more to come

    I asked a friend for any good Nam stories. He was a medic. He said one day they got orders to go into this village and inoculate for smallpox. A good will mission. A few days later they went back and saw a fire burning in the center of the street. It was the arms of villagers burning, cut off by the VC.
