where do you get off taking credit for other people's work? you're a douchebag
If you knew anything at all about how UA-cam works, you would know that the copyright holder gets paid for every single view, and I get nothing for reposting it. In fact, because of this video and the apocalypse now video I posted, my channel can not even be monetized. So I'm sacrificing my income to bring this scene to you...AND the movie copyright owners are both being paid.
Now you tell me, he who doesn't understand *anything* about how youtube monetization works, who is the dbag?
Looks like we found that guy. The one who stumbles through life in complete ignorance of reality. Good job Rich. Good job.
Where did he take credit for their work, genius? What I see is "The climactic battle scene of *Oliver Stone's masterpiece*.
Jagoff.
So Rich, you're so smart you missed where Oliver Stone is credited for the movie, and don't understand who gets paid on youtube, and why.
But that didn't stop you from running your mouth, did it?
@@Valorius Clearly this is nothing Rich or Deb understand at all. Also Ironic that people who live on literally stolen land want to talk about stealing.

Trivia: Francesco Quinn who played Rhah was the legendary actor Anthony Quinns son, he died rather young (48) from a heart attack whilst out playing with his children, he is one of the best characters in platoon IMO 👍
He has a much bigger part in the book.

You would have a field day in the comment section on my Apocalypse Now and my short movie contact front both are on the end screen of this video
I just happened back across "Platoon deleted scenes" on my phone--any one of them would have ruined the movie--they're hard to watch--stay away because they make no sense and contribute nothing to film; they have a scene on UA-cam in a foreign language where Barnes kills that yapping bitch that drove him too far--even the "Goddamn right he does" RTO is speaking gibberish in that video (half of C 1/8 on Geiger were precisely like the "Goddamn right he does" guy--those were the days when I knew and encountered real people--but when we moved to Mainside Lejeune, after coming back from the Med, real people like that became less and less).
Def my favorite war movie.

I think he had some help from Mister Brownstone.
@@patrick-ip4yf Actually, yeah, I got that impression too. But still, in a beneficial way.
Yep exactly, you can see him taking it from the dead nva near the end. Rah is a good soldier and a good man
Taylor went from a cherry to a bonafide hardass warrior in the matter of months. During this battle, he was a machine
Should have been nominated for a bronze star in the previous day's battle for advancing forward and saving Lerner and at least a purple heart for his wounds in battle in this one.
@@Foldy435 I'd say definitely to the Purple Heart as his buddy Francis yells " Hey Taylor, we two timers, we outta here!". Meaning he had been wounded twice, which says that technically he would've been eligible when he was grazed and treated during their first ambush, though that sort of thing wasn't commonly accepted as a true casualty in the eyes of everyday soldiers
As for the final fight? Probably would be a Bronze star recipient, even bordering a Silver Star due to the fact he held his position and openly engaged against a vastly superior enemy. The problem would be, is that the story typically requires confirmation by others and by the end? Most anyone who could've confirmed it was dead. Maybe Francis though
@michaellrakes5521 either bronze star with v device or silver star for that final battle. Although typically there need to be Witnesses and there were none
@@Valorius precisely correct !
I've always wondered how much time taylor spent in viet nam and it seems it wasn't that much, including the time off his first battle wound, has someone done the math?
This scene is based off the battle at Firebase Burt on New Year's Day 1968. You can find footage here on UA-cam of the day after, however the footage is very grainy. My uncle was part of the reinforcements that came the next morning at Burt. He was in the 25th Infantry Division 4th/9th Alpha Co. 1st platoon. He remembers that day very well to this day.
Interestingly in the movie, it's mechanized forces that come to reinforce.
@@Valorius Both did, at least according to my uncle. His unit was supposed to arrive at Burt around 3AM to help with the battle but at the last minute they were called off and didn't arrive til around 6-7 AM instead.

Epic battle scene from an epic movie. Thanks for posting this in 4k brother!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I was like Taylor was I was in; I ran-up and wasted an entire squad wearing MILES gear.
@@alexanderwalle3568 Live fire ammunition is the difference between getting an AAM and a Silver Star.
@nomorerainbows very true
I absolutely hated junior. One of the most selfish disrespectful soliders in the squad. Hitting his head and knocking him out then the bayonet scene. Didnt feel a bit of pity for him.
Holy shit, so this is why I wasn't allowed to watch this when I was younger. A most brilliant and brutal battle.
Now you know 🤣
This movie definitely pushed me towards the Army, they should have waited on the claymores and got a bigger group of enemy fighters
Nah, when the stuff hits the fan you gotta rock and roll. There’s no time to calculate etc.
@@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449 that is what your rifle is for and that M79, That was a nice kill box but a fresh rested Soldier vs a fatigued exhausted Soldier will defend a position a lot differently
I always loved the attention to detail where Bunny's shotgun action always seemed on the verge of locking up completely from the rust of jungle humidity....
... always brought me massive anxiety even to this day lol.
Reminds me of those fever dreams I would get when I was in where my rifle wasn't shooting straight or locking up and malfunctioning at the worst moment.... 😬😰😰😰
2nd Marine Division 2005-2009 RAH KILL
If you look closely right before bunny gets killed he has his shotgun but then as he gets shot he has an m16. It always amazed me they let that slip through the cracks. Semper Fi Marine!
I had a rifle do exactly that on the range one year; I was no Annie Oakley but told the armory something was wrong with the weapon--I wasn't all that, that much I'd always known, but I was also never that bad at hitting a stationary target--it's not rocket science. They gave me another rifle (telling me something about the first one that they'd found was off--it was wound "too tight" somehow--I no longer remember). I did much better with the replacement--I didn't miss all the time. I've always wondered how many pizza-boxes were too ignorant to have never known it wasn't them, it was the rifle.
3/2 here 99- 19
@tbone6203 thanks for your service.

Some gave all. I gave less.
Masterpiece.
When Taylor wrote to King that he'd killed Barnes, neither King or his girl were able to read the letter, because, as King once mentioned, both were illiterate.

It's funny he took the "It's beautiful man" from Tom Cruz in Taps and no one knows because Platoon is far more known.
Some of us have seen both. :D
Great bit of offensive spirit by Chris- counter-attacking after his foxhole was RPG'ed. His actions motivate his mate to get stuck in- leadership by example. I believe that this clip has been known to be used at Sandhurst as an example of offensive spirit- essential in such a scenario. Great film, superb cast.
When in doubt: Attack.
When facing overwhelming odds: Attack
When facing certain defeat: Attack
Those who survive these situations, often get mad. They are furious and that propels them to fight and survive.
I think Chris learned enough Vietmanese to know the fox hole was being targeted by a RPG team. He told the other guy to quiet down so he could hear what was being said...other than that he had no way of knowing. He acted quickly and managed to get a temporary advantage over the enemy due to his fast action and judgement in the chaos of battle.
@@Bradgilliswhammyman Chris became one heck of a soldier.
I always loved the shit-eating grins they exchange when they retake the hole.
best movie for me, forever!
Best line in the movie is when Taylor tells Barnes "You're gonna' need a bigger boat." Classic cinema!!!+
🤣
I saw Platoon in the theatre when it came out. I already knew a bit about the film because I had seen a discussion on a talk show, that showed the Barnes, little girl village hostage scene. I love the film and have the dvd. I've watched it so many times I lost count. I am 65 year old retired Canadian. I worked for forty years at a commercial poultry farm. About as far from the military or war as you can get. I was a serious hunter for 40 years both with gun and bow. So I know a bit about guns and the damage that they can do. I don't know why, but I have always had a fascination with war movies. I was 10 years old in 1968 and I can still remember the Kennedy assassination on our black and white tv. I can still remember my father watching Vietnam war footage while eating supper. I was drawn to magazines and books on the war with vivid color photos'. In the platoon scene where Alias goes down in the tunnel. I already knew all about them, because I had read the book 'The Tunnels Of Cu Chi' and found it fascinating. Its true accounts of what it was like to be a tunnel rat in vivid detail. I have of course also been interested in the earlier wars as well. The ones that the allies sacrificed their lives for. The heroes that we all owe our freedoms to. The favorites in my dvd collection are of course this one. Then.. 'Born On The Fourth Of July', 'Hamburger Hill', 'Saving Private Ryan' and Apocalypse Now'.' The Platoon Leader" is another not so known film that I love. With Michael Dudikoff had it taped off TV to a VHS some where. It is a very realistic portrayal of Vietnam jungle warfare written by and produced by war veterans. I also have the documentary tribute, 'Letters From Vietnam'. For many years, When I get to feeling depressed or sorry for myself in the way my life is going. I would sit down and watch this dvd. It would bring me back to the realization... that I have nothing to complain about. My sincere respect and admiration for the sacrifice made by all military servicemen both past and present.😊❤🙏
I read that same tunnel rats book too.
@@Valorius 'That's cool! It was an interesting contrast to the traditional open firefights. In the tunnel you were protected from the rear. And you had a bit more personal control over your fate...somewhat. That is.. along with the spiders, snakes, rats, booby traps and claustrophobia. I think that last one would have done me in. I wouldn't have made a very good coal miner.. or tunnel rat! I need blue sky overhead. 😀
@nbmooselovers I was in the Infantry but you will never catch me as a tunnel rat LOL
@@Valorius I hear ya! 'Thank You' for the reply's. Its been great chatting with ya! Stay healthy! 👍
brother hope to see you in my comment section again
“Expend all remaining inmy perimeter! This is a lovely fucking war, bravo 6 over!”.
That was Dale Dye - also a Combat Veteran - but a Marine. He made a career advising on Military Movies - as did Lee Ermey.
.
@@BobSmith-dk8nw he was in band of brothers as well
He's been in a lot of movies
The real Officer who gave that Order during the Vietnam War was awarded the CMH.
@@magazine6293 Do you recall his name?
“Roger your last bravo 6 , we copy it’s your call. Get em in there holes down there , hang tough bravo 6 , we’re coming cocked for treetops.”
A descent into savagery. I saw this in the theaters when it first came out. I was shaking nervously through most of the movie.
I still listen to theaters when it came out as well, and I was in basic training within a few months after seeing it
Arguably, the end combat scene in “Platoon” is as close to the madness and insanity of war as humanly possible. My father served. God Bless
LET'S DD MAN! .....YOU GO.
I love this movie.
That's because you are a red blooded American.
In real life, the entire platoon would have opened-up on the guy coming-up the hill and probably called an airstrike on him, too.
Pure cinematic genius.
Barnes got shot and bayoneted 153 times during this incident... the man kept killing!
Good quality!
The VC couldn't believe they were getting beat by a guy named "Francis."
Awesome!
Taylor: You go......what a hero
That guy at 5:56 with can of beer is so funny 😂
This is the most intense battle scene ever
Saw this when it was released. Two scenes stand out, the scene where Taylor and then Francis charged out of the foxhole shooting, the audience in the theater began to cheer. The other scene is when the little girl began to cry after Barnes shot her mother, some women in the theater began to cry.
I thought last night to mention fighting holes--how much they suck should be known (in the event you don't know). When watching war movies, you see dudes in their holes and think nothing of it but digging a fighting hole royally sucks; try it at home (you have to call "611" first, at least around here you do, so you don't wreck your neighbor's cable or start a gas leak). I don't think I dug one fighting hole the entire time I was in but I almost did; when I was in C 1/8 under Captain Gregory (who became a Colonel later somewhere, with a blog called "The Colonel's Corner," a name other bloggers have often used too, I've just learned) we were humping around Lejeune one night and every time we stopped had to turn to right away to dig fighting holes--I cursed our C.O. all night long for that (he was a good C.O. too, some aren't). Humps in themselves royally suck--humps are probably the worst part of being infantry--humps compete with freezing and heat strokes as far as misery goes; when humps came up, they were sometimes known ahead of time--we'd have a thirteen-miler next Tuesday, for example, that might leak from HQ--others occurred only because we were way out in LZ Motard at Lejeune--or some god-awful foreign country like Italy--having no way to get back to base sometimes, we walked all the way back from the field (there were also plenty of times they called trucks, thank God). But digging holes that time every time we stopped taught me a lesson in reality--don't join the infantry. Be construction because they get paid much better to dig holes (it's why you only see one guy digging with the rest of the crew watching--I actually just saw that, pointing out as much to the city--the hundreds of dollars wasted via those who clearly contributed nothing to the cause).
Anyone looking for a taste of the life should dig a fox-hole in your backyard--with no breaks. You'll see; it takes awhile and wears you out. A "real" fighting hole cannot be faked because they'll check; when we were in Oman during Operation Desert Storm we never really dug holes there, either--we dug what Chad Daybell would call a fox-hole--our holes were pathetic in comparison to a real fighting hole. Holes, though, also save lives; trenches also suck--we never dug a trench but lives were saved during World War 1 because of trenches (shrapnel is hot, flies all over the place, taking off arms, legs, and heads, but not if you're "underground"). You also have to use a little shovel from Supply for your hole--so don't cheat or I'll know.
@alexanderwalle3568 the best part is after you spend all day digging a fox hole or fighting position, sit down and 10 minutes later they tell you to fill it back in because you're moving out
That's exactly what Gregory had us doing--what you would do in a real situation so you'd stay alive--but that was the only time we ever did that--we clearly should have done it much more--to really toughen us up--what whiners we were; reading some history later, how far people had to walk to get somewhere in time--it was sometimes all day long, if not hundreds of miles to an objective (an infantry unit moves at about 3 MPH--we usually took a break every hour for about ten minutes--the math of how fast we were going was easy--they moved us as fast as possible, of course, with Captain Gregory in the lead along with other HQ bohunks and VIP's behind him--I once had a squad leader curse me after a hump was over--he told me that keeping up with me had him ornery--I had no idea he was having trouble). Historically speaking, I realized they didn't hump us enough--we should have had a hump every week--a good ten or twenty-miler would have kept us in shape and humble--and if you fell-out at Lejeune, a Humvee would save you (because everyone knew it was back there).
My knees are thankful that they did not LOL
I worked with a chowder-head in 2006 who was a former Marine and a young one (it seemed to me he should have been in the Middle East and not working in the U.S.--I couldn't believe he hadn't been called back but never asked); his arms were bigger than my legs--his head was completely empty. He claimed humps ruined your body, etc.,.--big guys usually don't make it is how it works, it's the scrawny ones who smoke six packs a day--they never stop, they never die. He'd already also gotten baby-trapped with this half-baked bitch--that's the worst that can happen to you because it is--it's worse than digging a hundred fighting holes. His life was over wherever he is and what he's doing now. He'll never ditch that ho--she's going nowhere and so is he. As planned.
I really liked Bunny (Kevin Dillon). I hated it when he got killed. And that was Junior's fault. Also, John C. McGinley did a great job portraying the coward, Red. I was amazed whenever I realized that he later played one of the "Bobs" in the comedy, Office Space. He's a funny guy.
McGinley is also in Highlander 2! He um, well... it's not a good film. I don't hold it against him.
... Like he's a clown, he's here to amuse you?
Lol
Thanks !!
You got it brother. It's a truly great scene and it needed to be on UA-cam in 4k.
We literally as America , have Zips in the wire ..
@scoot9316 indeed.
We had an "O'Neill" in C 1/8 although he was only a Lance Corporal (who probably went no further than that--I hope); he was big and worthless--if you saw how big he was, you'd be concerned but you shouldn't have been. After some platoon flim-flam and weird events concerning our platoon sergeant (who was actually crazy so was prone to over-stepping--including people's personal lives before they joined-up that he'd learned somehow--probably by talking to them, then using that info against them later--that being something I wasn't wise to at the time but picked-up on here and there) Lance Corporal "Mick" somehow landed a job in the armory despite having not one skill beyond being an 0311--he'd sucked at that, actually. He was all mouth, muscle, height and no action. How he got in the armory I never figured-out because no "03" would have ever made it back there--it was impossible. There was no reason for him to be back there but there he was; armorers have skills or so they always appeared to me. If you were infantry, you'd probably stay there until your EAS, even if you royally sucked like he did--you'd still do okay enough and long enough for an Honorable.
LA MEJOR PELICULA DE VIETNAM
I don't know what you said but thank you very much for posting
Best scene.
Junior reminds me of this guy in H 2/8 who had a similar attitude; he spent a lot of time in his rack if he ever made it to formation--he never did shit because I never saw him outside our room--all he ever really did was wear cammies--he got out of everything else we were supposed to do--there are people in the military now just like Junior--then he went UA (which got me a new roommate).
In the scene where the soldier falls asleep while on watch during an ambush, it really was Oliver Stone, he stated that himself. I don't understand why he wouldn't own up to it in the movie.
Una impresionante y real película k me impresionó bastante cuando la Vi por vez primera
No idea what you said but thanks for posting
The Major being blown by the Zapper was Oliver Stone.
I've always thought that looked like him but I was never sure
In a flight suit--a get-up commonly seen at the front; which apparently ruined his plans for flying out of there (Vietnamese suicide bombers were probably promised a never-ending supply of fish sauce served by virgins who plow the fields while wearing only one piece of bamboo).
If I remember from the book way back in 1986, that was the S-3 that the Battalion Commander had hung out as the on-site commander of the bait.
Bunny was a beast.
He is definitely the guy you want in a foxhole with you
You want Junior, actually, so you can both dodge duty and firefights together--after he explains in detail how the White Man works.
@@alexanderwalle3568 there was a bit of poetic justice in how Junior died….tortured to death with a bayonet. Bunny, who fought bravely, died quickly and mercifully.
One was actually a psycho, the other was fucked--God saw the man-made problems problems of race and wealth so decided "Junior, after all his trouble for being black and poor, will get a knife in the gut but he won't feel it--I put a tree there five hundred years ago just for him that he'll knock himself half-unconscious with before he dies--what happens to Bunny, though, I don't give a fuck but because psychos are a necessary evil, I'll give him a shot-gun, a fighting hole with Junior, and endless VC."
Such a great movie
Definitely one of my all-time favorites. This came out probably a year or so before I join the Army

The VC killed Junior because his malingering could be heard throughout the jungle.
There is no way I would let a man in or out of my foxhole while a flare was burning over head. Its hard to find a man in a foxhole.. specially if he stays quiet and more importantly HE STAYS STILL. Any movement at all is seen and it can be seen from a considerable distance. You add that to a burning flair and you have the reason I would have grabbed rah and told him your going to have to wait till that flair goes out at least.
Definitely true however it's pretty hard to tell your squad leader what to do unless you want an Article 15 LOL
M-16.A1. I recall the teardrop shaped forward assist at Parris Island.The round on the later models. The dial sights could engage at 500.the 20 inch barrel Added to sight radius. They have the duplex sites as well. They also used to use luminescent or white tape down the front sight. It shot very well at the movie ranges. Not sure full auto AR night is a good idea. Grenades rolled down hill.
For fun a roll of fish line really makes tanglefoot at night.

thanks for the take.
I still have the nail we all got in boot camp; it's tied with a string to my old rifle-range book (that's so idiots don't lose their nails--I would have lost it right away--probably on the range).

The War. It reminds me of the French scene cut from Apocalypse now. Why? The British destroyed the French fleet in harbor after the surrender. The French then Vichy or neutral. Had the French had the fleet they could have held Indochina. So much of the British musical invasion caused the withdrawal from Vietnam. The loss of the French colonies for the loss of the 13 colonies. Meri! As a three time Platoon leader I enjoyed the dynamics and politics.
The French should have fought on the side of the allies with their fleet. They chose not to and it was too much risk to the Allies that the Germans would seize the fleet they had no choice but to sink it
Outstanding!
The elation Taylor and Francis felt was like the victory me and Nate felt when we'd worked until 4 A.M. so slashed a customer's bill in half because no one else was around--my adrenalin went through the roof as the idea became reality; returning to the shop, they never figured-out we got in so late and why, despite the numbers being clear as a bell (but not the numbers in our pockets--those have remained a secret for years).

It would have been better if Taylor crawled to BAS so they could check that his shit was still there (and worked right) with Barnes surviving the war to become housekeeping management at La Quinta Inn of Fayetteville, NC "Now I got no problem with any housekeeper doing what they're told, but when they don't, La Quinta breaks down. And when La Quinta breaks down, WE break down."

Always intrigued by the fact that the director put himself in this scene as a commanding officer who gets killed.
I think that was his son, too. The young man on the left.
Observant. Cousin- Crusader Pilot and Anglico. 5P PL. Extraction
The M16 is a great weapon, though; I used to play with all the flaps and buttons and shit when we were laying-around in the field with nothing to do but wait on whatever bullshit they had us doing next not to mention the crap at the moment--what all those flaps, buttons and shit did I had no idea--I was supposed to know--for that reason I never knew, what I did know was how cool it was that they all opened and closed just right, every time, and made soothing noises.
@alexanderwalle3568 lol
Makes you want to get an extra pair of socks and back for a week or two.
Never liked they never showed clear shots of Chris or any other troop but Barnes above the riverbed shooting any of the enemy with their M16/Car15s
And then Rah runs away into the jungle as far away from the fight as he can go!
The whole point of the village was a provocation to cause them to attack. It worked more than expected.
That fighter jet still looks like The Batplane to me.
@alexanderwalle3568 it is a very poorly rendered Northrup F5 Freedom fighter. Platoon was made in an era before the Department of Defense realized the propaganda value of Hollywood movies
The woman Barnes shot there was probably the biggest "Karen" in Vietnam.
Are they VC or NVA?
Nva
@@Valorius Every one of them

It always bothered me that Bunny's Remington 870 at 4:48 becomes a Colt M16A1 at 4:49. And why is the overweight Sgt. casually strolling around during an "all hell has broken loose" battle with a beer in his hand at 5:56?
Tjey explain the overweight Sergeant in the book. He is the Battalion sergeant major who has never seen combat looking to get a combat infantry badge and a medal for bravery. He thinks the Viet Cong charging in are retreating Americans. That is why he is yelling at them.
As a combat medic I had the misfortune.,of witnessing several KIA and helping plenty WIA warriors and the ending of that movie should be remastered after that shocking ending..Why you might ask,for your information over 58,000 warriors that returned home were wrapped in the flag of our divided nation,,And the flag of the enslaved was only lowered in my red state on July 10,2015 And a very hot and humid day in South Carolina ..My place of birth ,if you saw that movie to the end.You might understand.,..Doc..🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
What flag was lowered in 2015?
@@ValoriusGuess he refers to a confederate flag.
@@f.r.ashley1317 there have not been any slaves since 1865. I think he should probably let it go
Chris didn't kill Barnes
He put him out of his miserable existence like Barnes has been looking for
Barnes would not have been able to adjust to civilian life without intensive, lifelong therapy.
@@ingleringlet-snipps3rd449 Barnes was looking for death
And his survival instinct was too strong for him to do it himself
I agree
@@Valorius Barnes reminds me of Nick from The Deer Hunter
Both were so broken by Vietnam they were beyond repair and both know there was no ever going back for them
And both were so dead inside they were literally just waiting for physical death
@ohwell94 Nick was Christopher Walken's character, right?
Director Oliver Stone got blown up by the suicide bomber.
He most certainly did.
😊
family guy references: Vietnam undefeated!
That one dude Sargent Barnes was a A hole.
Barnes hated Alias so much that he was gonna kill Taylor too
Taylor was the last witness against him, he had murder charges hanging over his head that were going to be dealt with after they got back to basecamp.
Barnes was just in the mode. He was going to kill Taylor simply because he was the closest being with a heartbeat.
This scene shot in the Jungles in the Philippines dat tine
All the Vietnam soldiers are actually Philippine, the movie was made in the Philippines
Emilio Estevez (who was previously successful in the 1st Civ. Div. as a repo man) was supposed to play Taylor but because the world hates reality, it took about a decade for "Platoon" to be made at all; by that time, Estevez was too old for the part--Oliver Stone wanted people as young as possible, like they were in Vietnam (Estevez had also hung-around and listened to "heads" like Suicidal Tendencies and The Circle Jerks--Barnes hated such swinging dicks--more punks like Junior would have been too much).

“Snake and nape” is a military slang term coined during the Vietnam War by American infantry. It refers to a specific loadout for aircraft bombing missions. Let me break it down for you:
Snake: This slang term comes from “Snake Eye,” which refers to US retarded bombs with fold-out petal-style fins. These bombs were designed to be dropped from low altitudes. The “snake” part of the loadout represents these bombs.
Nape: “Nape” stands for napalm. Napalm canisters, specifically the 500-lb. M-47 napalm canisters, were also part of this loadout. Napalm was dropped on the first pass over a target, followed by the bombs on the second pass12.
The combination of snake (high-explosive bombs) and nape (napalm) allowed for effective low-level attacks, maximizing the impact of both types of ordnance. It was a devastating combination used during the Vietnam War.
Such a tragic and pointless war. . . and we were on the wrong side.
The Communists were not on the right side either
Cambodian Red with Opium. No yelling what they saw but they felt nothing..
In a scene after the battle they show king, the black Squad leader, reach into one of the vietcong's pockets and remove a big bag of heroin
It's how they cut-out the middle-man.

I cant understand that, but thanks for posting anyway.
East German. Lost a few steel pots as bait to destroy a regiment.
Speaking of fish sauce and World War Two, I met Maxine Ferebee--the bombardier's sister of the "Enola Gay"; sometime around 2013 (or so, I lost track) I was diddy-bopping down the street when this older woman started running her suck--she naturally, soon began talking about the "Enola Gay," if I'd ever heard of it is what she'd asked me--it never really happens that you meet someone with a direct connection to a historical event--and if you do, it's never when you're diddy-bopping like I was. I'd heard of the "Enola Gay," so she told me her brother was the bombardier. That never really happens, either, but it happened that time. She told a lot of people that, of course--it got brought-up a lot--all the time, probably and why not..? I'd forgotten who the pilot was by then and never knew any of the other members of the crew but I know one know via that encounter--I immediately stopped diddy-bopping. She also thought we could have won the Vietnam War had we bombed the North into submission like we did in World War Two (they considered nuking North Vietnam actually, but Eisenhower, when asked about the idea thought we'd be crazy to do that to the Asians again; I also think the Vietnamese can't be beaten--Oliver Stone thinks the same and said the same thing about using nuclear weapons against Vietnam--he thinks they would have made a come-back, anyway, as they always do no matter what).
@alexanderwalle3568 paul tibbets was the pilot
He was the only one I remembered but it had been so long since I'd thought or read about it, I'd forgotten him. I also thought her name was Linda for some reason (and as a result, thought I'd been "Enola Gayed" by an older person whose name was "Ferebee" who, but in truth, had no real connection to the "Enola Gay," but seeing her photo online, it was her so was true).
