Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve forwarded your comments over to Mr. Miller. He’s tickled to death to have seen such supports and interest in his story. “I’d never thought it was that interesting. Just something I did is all”
If you have any friends or family that were Combat veterans like Mr.Miller, please comment below! I’d love to connect
Thank you so much for doing this interview! It needs to be told!! My absolute best to Mr. Mler!
YO ..Miller..Tell it like it was..
We're all waiting to hear it..
They didn't beat us..
We couldn't win...
Politics...
Mr. Miller you are true hero in my eyes Thank you for your service and your fabulous stories They are the best I have listened to I served in the Army from 1 72 till 12 74 and missed VN Always felt cheated I would have loved to have to have served under you in LRRP squad Love you man Hope you the best
The people I know don't want to be highlighted ! They are to them selves because they trust no one . Fortunately for me a couple brothers trust me . I try my best to make them comfortable around me , and they know my mouth is shut !! I think sometimes that better than the V.A.
My cousin was a nurse in Vietnam. She was take in during yet in 68 by viet cong she said not much. But did say they used her armpits and toes.
My husband was a Sergeant 101st Airborne Ranger LRRP in 1970, arriving in Nam in January. He turned 23 in July and was killed in action September 25. His name is on The Wall. L H Grimes. He is buried in the Marietta National Cemetery outside Atlanta. Thanks to all who served whether they made it home or were KIA. We are so proud of all of you.
Your husband was and will ALWAYS be a hero. Thanks for finding this video and sharing your story
Thank you. I'm so sorry for your loss.
So sorry that he was taken from you, I don’t really have any words adequate to try and express how tragic this is, anyway thinking of you here in Spain, his memory has crossed another continent.
🙏
Respect to you❤
Captain Miller, Captain Carole Carr, USAF Nurse here, My heart still rattles every time I watch videos of you guys, having heard many from patients I cared for at Tachikawa AFB hospital in Japan 2 1/2 years, & later as Flight Nurse bring our guys on their last leg home. I never supported the war, & was angry about it, but ALWAYS supported you brave men who fought it, & will to my dying day. Thank you my friend.
hello carole my dad spent 23 years in the air force and flew F4s in vietnam..i was born in 1971 on base at malmstrom in great falls and i was born with cerebral palsy and the doctor insisted i was medavaced to denver at fitsimmons..i just wanted to say that i love nurses and i love flight nurses..they kept me alive..i was born 10 weeks early..we both know that the 70s were the dark ages for people like me..i just want to say i appreciate you :) thank you for looking after the well being of people like me :) i always love the military for giving me a chance of life :)
Thanks for your service!
Thx for your service
Thank you for your service Carole. I was a US Marine.
Lost my uncle in SouthVietnams Central Highlands , near Pleiku , mid-3/68 , tail end of bloody ass TET, 10 days b-4 my 11th bday . He was with the US of As 1st Cavalry Division ( Airmobile).
Seen neighbors sons , and friends bros. Sent to NAM from 65-69 . last one home by late 71! Evan though I was very young , I saw the conflict on TV , and heard it on the news radio .
I"m 73. Turned 21 as an 11B on a hillside in Vietnam. Always admired the LRRPs. When I came home I thought that the only thing positive that could come of the War was that the US would never be so stupid to let politicians send young Americans off to die for what they knew was a lie ever again. Boy was I wrong. I really didn't learn of the deceit that got us into Vietnam and the mismanagement until many years later. I was never going back after I left. I got out and 5 years later I went back in as SF. Then Flight school. Retired in 96. The LRRP teams that I ran in to while I was there were really a different breed. They were very good at what they did and kept a lot of Infantry guys alive because of their work. When I got out I learned the 500 pound bomb fuzes had a 20% failure rate. Thats how the VC got so much of the explosives they used for booby traps. 58,272 brothers and sisters did not come home from that conflict. I personally thank you Mr. Miller for doing what you did. I hope you find some peace in your life. Thanks.
Wow! What a career! Thank you for all you’ve done for our country and our people sir.
Sadly our govt lied to the American people about the actual casualty rate. I would bet they lie about it in all the wars. Try 500k KILLED.
@@rondodson5736 Go to DC and go to the Vietnam memorial and write them all down. Then go door to door across this Nation and talk to the ones that buried them and see if they lied about Americans killed in that conflict. Shame on you for your ignorant reply.
Pentagon Papers told the tale

How weird that I stumbled upon this video without searching for it! Mr. William Miller has been a friend of mine for years. We have played Blues music together and he is an amazing guy! Thank you for doing this interview preserving his story!
Government has partnered with UA-cam to target young men with war stories because they can’t get anyone to volunteer. I’ll hand in my security clearance now…
We played a little music together that day!
You can start calling him “Captain” now. Wow, we are so lucky to have him in our country, we have to flush the toilet in DC, to honor these men. We must get rid of the excrement.
Well hell I wanna play some blues with yall damn!!
Cool!!! 😃
A very honest, brave, reflective, and highly capable man. Thank you Capt Miller for sharing your experiences. You deserve the rest of your life to be peaceful, happy, and full of life's simple pleasures. That is what I wish for you. Cold beer, the smell of freshly cut grass, weekend football, a hobby or two, great music to both make and listen to, the company of friends and family, movie nights, great pizza, ....happiness.
My uncle was a lrrp in Vietnam for one of his tours. I always found it interesting that he said that was the safest he ever felt. He said he played hide and seek for 10months and never fired his weapon once, just watching and reporting. He did a second tour with regular unit doing standard S & D missions and that's where he was really scared and was wounded. Said his 4man unit was much safer. Much respect to all.
Weird. That’s not common. Those patrol guys were doing some of the most dangerous and crazy stuff.
@@OCRay1 and many were observation missions.
@@Buce-ku9vx
Ya that’s what they primarily did. They had hunter killer missions too but they are recon. We both know this so I’m not sure what we’re talking about
I enjoyed this interview with Captain Miller. His closing comments align pretty much with what I have always said after returning home in early 1969. I didn’t want to do it again, and if I ever had children, I didn’t ever want them to have to experience war, but when it was all said and done, I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I came away from it with an appreciation for life that I don’t think I would otherwise have ever had. I have the utmost respect for the LRRP’s.
That’s a great perspective
Welcome Home Thank You For Your Service Sir
I think having faced death it makes one appreciate life. Today i think so many have never had to face death so do not appreciate how precious life really is.
LRRP units were all volunteer.
I had pretty much the same speach with my daughter about 2 years ago (she was 14). I served as a ranger and she asked on a late walk outside what it thought about her joining.....
You wrote what i thought, so no need to say it again. I willl support her if she or my son goes military....but i advice them to stay out. "Go if you really want it in your heart, if not stay".
Capt. Bill Miller is an American hero. Thank you for your service.
Yes he is
Nobody that join the army is Americas hero they America dummy now mummad Ali who didn’t want to fight for this slavery country is hero he rather fight for his self then die for country that don’t give a fuck about us I spit n da president face if I ever get chance attacking other countries for no reason at all
Great interview, it’s tough asking someone to relive the most traumatic moments of their life. It’s important work sharing these stories.
I couldn’t agree more!
I was in Co,E 75th Rangers 9th Inf Division .I served in Vietnam 1969-1970...I retired from the Army Infantry in 1992.
We need more of these Vietnam veteran stories. This is wild! For that we thank you!
His story is incredible! I have another one as well if you look at William Hancock son my channel. Feel free to share!
These guys were incredible bad asses. Keep that in mind, young bucks, some ole' Dude may have a very mean survival instinct pop up, if confronted. For real.
read the six silent men series its all about Vietnam LRRP and then Rangers, the LRRPS were converted to the first members of the 75th ranger battalion in Vietnam
@@shannonpinion5729 I was in last graduating LRRP class April 72, then assigned to 75th.

I am an old Canadian Infantry Cold War Vet...I had the privilege to train with Senior NCO US Vietnam Vets...101 ABN...their stories were no bullshit and matter of fact. We were in awe and shocked with their training and personal stories.
I've done my research on Vimy Ridge...you Canadians absolutely have some incredible heroes.
I’m a 57 yr old 🇨🇦 logger. Never served. My father flew Mosquitoes in WW2. Grandfather served in both WW’s. Have the utmost respect and pride for our vets from any era. You probably don’t hear this enough:
Thank you for serving our great nation. 🤝
Thank you for the interview. If I were American I would thank Captain Miller for his service and say "welcome home". There are many of us all around the world who appreciate the sacrifices all Vietnam vets made. They did their job and fought for their brothers and their country, and they deserved a hell of a lot better welcome that they received.
It's great that you uploaded this and helped preserve an important piece of history through personal recollections. Much appreciated!
I’ll pass your kind words over to Mr. Miller. He will absolutely appreciate it!!
You don't need to be an American to thank any man for fighting judo-communist you fight communist for every free thinking man whom loves freedom
All the sacrifices they made for their county... The Vietnamese people were not trying to invade another country. They were innocent, just trying to figure out a way to run their own country after the frogs left it for dead for the Japanese. Secretly the American government wanted Vietnam so they can control more of Asia. So they had another base to defeat China today.
Lo moo moo
😮
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. GOD Bless you Capt. Miller.
Captain I hope you see this, Thank you so much for your service and sacrifices for me and my family, I appreciate you sharing your story with me!!!
Capt. Miller you are a hero. I was a little boy during the Viet Nam war. I prayed for you guys every night. Viet Nam vets are my heroes.
What a great video, and thank you for this. My father served 3 combat tours in RVN. His first tour was with a LRRP team attached to the 2/327 101 ABN. and operated in the Central Highlands. The stories he told me were insane, and all portrayed acts of heroism. Stuff that the normal person would reconsider. How he survived that conflict and those missions I do not know, but thank god he made it. 🙌
Hawk Recon is who he was with in the 2/327 Inf
This guy is the real stuff. I respect your honesty and your ability to still be subjective and open about what was asked of you. A real warrior. God bless you and respect from the UK
This is easily one of the best veteran interviews I've ever heard. This man covered EVERYTHING. The boredom and ways they entertained themselves, the humorous stories, the horrors of war, his very personal experiences. Outstanding artist that paints pictures of what is forever engrained in his mind for us to see with him. I really appreciate how much this man was willing to tell us.
Thank you both for your service, because you're serving your country as well.
I loved hearing Captain Miller’s story. The story about having $700 and 2 hookers. God love these Vietnam veterans. I was in basic training in 86. Some of them trained us I’m sure at the tail end of their careers. And to the Vietnam vet I had thanksgiving dinner with last week, thank you for your service Don.
He’s a funny man
I went through Basic in 1985 and know for sure that 5 of our Drill Instructors were Vietnam vets
I went to Ft Knox in 83, SSGT Buzzell was my DI and he was a LRRP in Vietnam. We were Scouts.
@Tracy Gray same here! I went to Parris, in 87- we had several Vietnam Combat Vets! DIs, Range Masters,Martial Arts/ Hand to Hand Combat Instructors, etc
The one Martial Arts Marine SSgt gave us all the Willies! We could tell he did a lot of killing- his eyes would light up,as he described the proper way to kill a man. Lol.
What attention to detail. He could tell you what he ate on Feb 6th 1969. I forgot basically my entire tour. Might've been in 10 actual firefights in my year. Combat wasn't my mission. We tried to avoid contact in the Signal corp. Our mission was to run commo wire through the jungle. We were armed to the teeth because we had not back up to call on in a jam. Seven man teams max. Sometimes only two man. We'd go out at night if the line went dead looking for cut lines. Years later at the Vet Center I found out a lot of the cut lines were cut by GI's looking for tent ropes, they'd lost! Frequently we were fired at by our own forces at night who were out on listening posts while we were looking for cut commo wire. Harrowing at best. When the first shot is fired we hit the deck hard. Welcome back Capt.
Wild times
@@110sassactual I enlisted in the USAF in January 69, 10 days out of high school.
I had 2 asthma attacks in boot and was sent home. My entire adult life I have regretted that I was unable to complete my enlistment.I always supported the guys in NAM.Most of the time I do not feel worthy to call myself a veteran . All you guys and gals that served in EVERY WAR our nation has fought have my highest respect.
WELCOME HOME .
It's funny how time works differently for people. For some, the memory fades slowly. For others, they block it out entirely...then, years later, every detail comes back as if it were yesterday. My father was the first kind, I was the second kind.
Lost their tent ropes so they hacked up your commo wire that’s funny but not at the same time you could have lost your life over a tent rope lol
@@Justme-xw4gs Iam right there with ya brother I graduated high school in 2003 and was a salty country boy about 9/11 I tried every single branch and was told no for 2 main reason a marine recruiter said I was to eager to kill and I couldn’t pass the physical bc I have super flat feet actually it’s so bad they labeled it as rocker bottom foot syndrome my ankle joint is on the floor aka rocker bottom foot syndrome so I know the feeling I wanted to go play in the sand box I truly regret not being able to enlist in any branch but really wanted to go army or marines it really bothered me for several years after that
Really enjoyed this man’s cander and story telling abilities.Very engaging interesting and can feel his emotions.Every son or grandson needs a man like this in their life
Oh shit this guy is a massive hero, absolutely a badass.he has my respect and especially my thanks for all he done and all he’s been through.
He’s a very cool man
My father was a LRP 67-68 173rd airborne 74th infantry detachment. Respect to all LRRPs, you guys deserve more recognition.
My uncle was on a LRRP team for a year in nam did a tour as a green beret on a regular A team then did over half a tour with S.O.G before being shot for the third time and theres bullet frags still in his brain from it and a bullet laying millimeters from his spine also. He's the toughest cat I've ever known and it's sad to see him lose his leg this year due to diabetes from agent orange.
Your father was part of the real deal as we called it. Most of our volunteers came from the 173rd when we formed up in late 67, to get out of Dàc To and the mountains
@@guntherwallner6718 he was recruited into the LRPs by a man named Lazlo Rabel who he became good friends with. Lazlo later went on to smother a grenade blast with his body saving his team. He was the only Medal of Honor recipient LRP.
What an incredible story . True hero. LRRP are bad dudes. This man answered many questions about everyday things that occured in Vietnam that I always wondered about . Very fortunate to hear such an Incredible experience. God bless and thank you for your service
Thank you for your service and taking the time to share your Vietnam War experience. Welcome home and may God Bless!
Much respect, thank you for your service and sacrifice on our behalf! Enjoyed listening to your experience!
And am very grateful you made it back thank you again Sir
Hey, he's a local ! 👍🏻
My step Dad was in the Marines, he was wounded and sent home.
He worked for GE and I will never forget the Man.
Unfortunately he got cancer and passed away at 42 years old. So sad to see such a great man go that way.
I've always been thankful to every veteran I encountered in my life and career.
Self discipline is what I had to do for myself and I managed to get pretty far that way.
Thank you for your service Sir ! 🇺🇸👍🏻
Thank you for your service ♥️ as all the vets on here.
That has to be one of the most informative interviews I have watched. Thank you Captain Miller.
Thank You for your Service, Sir.
One of the best Vietnam veteran interviews I've ever seen/heard. Thank you very much for sharing!
Thank you for your service and for sharing your incredible story. God bless you !
A-MAZING. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us.
This is amazing. Thank you for letting this man share his experiences.
Awesome interview! Thank you!
Great interview.
A friend's father was a LRRP out of the 11th ACR in Vietnam(67-68). I imagine these two probably ran into each other at times. He was a total hillbilly type before and that never left him. Pretty cool guy with stories of running around with Col. George Patton Jr's Aero-Rifle platoon that were pretty entertaining. He died from ALS in 2013. RIP.
Thank you for your service.
Thank You For Your Service Sir and Thank You For Being So Truthfully Honest You Gave If Not The Best Interview That I Have Ever Seen Than It's Top 5 For Sure Glad That You We're Able to get The Help You Needed And Continued Prayers And Blessings For You And Your Family.
Thank you for your service sir
Thank you Captain. The best interview I ever listened to. I never served out of the U.S. and had always felt "guilt" about that time period. Fortunately I have a friend who did extractions "downed pilots" etc who helped me by saying after all he had been thru. "We went where Uncle Sam sent us" just remember that." I hope you see this.
I’m sending this to bill! Thank you for watching
Thank you Captain Miller for your selfless service. Can't thank you enough brother. God bless you and all our vets. I wish I was a rich man so I could help our underpaid vets.
Thanks for talking about your service experience and life after your service. We can sleep without fear because of Brave Warriors like you.
Best interview I've ever heard.
Thank you for your service and telling us of your experience.
It’s great you enjoyed it. Feel free to share!
This was really fascinating and Capt Miller is a great story teller. Thanks for sharing this.
These interviews are becoming more and more precious as the Korean war and Vietnam war veterans numbers get less and less.
I even wonder if the other side have interviews too.
Thanks for sharing.
Welcome home 🕊️.
Thank you for your story, Captain.
I’ve been reading first-person LRRP books for years and can swear I’ve seen this hero many times. Can’t respect any group of people more. That goes for line companies too.
Can I ask for some of your favorite LRRP books?
What are some good LRRP books that you would recommend? Thanks
Thank you for your service Sir !!!
I had an uncle that was in LRRP's 68 - 69, right through TET.
He's told me lots of stories and things they did over there.
I graduated high school in 72,
The last year of draft, I was talking about enlisting after graduation. He said if I enlisted, he would hurt me where I could never get in military. He said everyone should go through basic & AIT, but noone should have to go to combat. I guess he had a believer , respect for him, and the look on his face convinced me to stay home. Of course by then it was well documented how bad the idiot politicians had screwed Viet Nam up, how the vets were treated, no one I knew or talked to about Nam ever blamed anyone for not going.
God bless all Viet Nam vets, hopefully God has put your demons to rest for you. And I hope you know there are many that really appreciate you and what you went through.
Frankly, he survived by luck. I mean skill and intelligence play a role in each situation, but luck still plays the largest role. If you are unlucky and walk into an ambush prepared by someone of equal or greater intelligence you weren't likely to make it. My stepfather was a LRRP in Vietnam, marines, radio operator. Can't remember the year but I'm pretty sure it was before Tet, the early 60s.
@@ChameleonMD123 Spoken like somebody who's never heard the voice of an angel.
@@conspiracyscholor7866 Neither have you. If you have it's called schizophrenia. Imagine thinking God is sending angels to protect you in a war to which one of the commandments is thou shall not kill and right or wrong, you travelled overseas to another's land to do harm. Under that logic, everyone that died in war must have pissed God off.
@@ChameleonMD123 Lol, typical gatheist pretending he knows anything about the only religion he doesn't like. God ordered the Israelites to kill literally anybody they came in contact with but "God says not to kill." It means "Don't kill your brother" AKA Christendom. Regardless, doing your duty to your country is Godly. Weird how schizophrenia told me to "DROP NOW" a split second before a spray of bullets hit the wall where I was standing...
My ex girlfriend 's dad was a LRRP in the Vietnam War. He'd always tell me about much I reminded him of his best friend and fellow LRRP who was killed in the war. Because of this, he took a real liking to me. He didn't share any of his stories with any of his friends or family. One night, he sat me down and told me stories about his experiences in the war. I spent hours listening to his amazing stories. He told me that he felt comfortable telling me those stories because of the resemblence and how I reminded him of his fallen friend. I feel honored to have been able to hear his stories.
One of the most intriguing interviews I’ve ever heard....Thank you for sharing your incredible story!
Wow…..what an incredible, and sobering interview, from an exceptional human being. Very well done!
I really appreciate the stories of these brave men. Americans are forever grateful for their sacrifices. Thank you Mr. Miller.
He’s a cool guy. Feel free to share his story!
Thank you for your service.
Wow, your story of bravery and survival, thrown into such a horriffic situation is amazing. If more of our younger generation would have been properly educated about what our good men and women have sacraficed our country would be so much stronger and prouder. What a strong galiant warrior. I grew up learning a lot of details of that war, used to watch it every night on the news and worry about you guys when I was a kid. Our vietnam vets are absolute hero's in my book. Your stories have shaped the kind of man I try to be today, "when the chips are down". Thank you sir for your service, I am so glad you made it back home. May the grace and peace of God cover you always.
Thank you for your service
Thank for your service Sir.

Thank you Sir ,
I have so much respect for this man. I agree with him, that we should all have to spend 2 years, after high school, in service to our fellow citizens.
Thank you for sharing this channel and sir thank you for sharing your experience sir ! Much appreciated, thank you for all you did for our freedom , we're forever indebted to our Veterans !🇺🇸 God Bless America !!!
Thank you for your service. We love you
superb...such a well thought out and articulate gentleman ...a pleasure to listen to
Hello my name is Pearline. I was a Wac from 69-73. I was an EKG Tech. I loved all the guys that came back and had to leave again. They were so brave. They never shared any stories.
This is Pearline. I wanted to share a little more. I had basic at Fort McCallum, Alabama. I found out Monsunto and the army made and stored agent orange among other chemicals. All of us Wacs were exposed. You may want to Google Fort McCullan, Alabama
Thank you very much from Canada
Remember the Wac Shack at Sam ?
God Bless You...Few realize what those who had to care for many had to endure.
So special you were. Salute!

He’s a gentleman and a man with an awesome story
Gratitude and Respect for this Vet! Above and Beyond service.
Amazing interview man. Great job.
Thank you!☮️❤️
Thank you for documenting our Vietnam veteran's experiences. It's important that we, as a nation, preserve and archive the war from the soldiers perspective. I look forward to watching every interview you are able to upload to your channel.
I’m working on sourcing more!
Great watch. Thank you for your service.
Incredible oral history. A man who has come full circle. I feel quite fortunate to have had the privilege of listening.
Love to hear from these guys. Such important stories and lives it’s got to be preserved in some way this video did a great job of that
Couldn’t agree more!
the detail of his recollection is incredible... i can only imagine how difficult it is to put those experiences into words...
Thank You for your service SIR! 💕
This was an amazing interview. I have many books in my library of guys that did what he did, and I have met a few in person as well.
It is amazing, listening to every word he spoke, he didn't skip a beat, he remembered all his training like it was yesterday.
You read enough books, you listen to guys that were there, you remember stuff too.
Now, this guy's tactics were a little different, (NOT BY MUCH), but Better! And I could list easy 10 things that made me say wow, that is so logical.
At any rate, I obviously enjoyed this interview!
OUTSTANDING!!! THX!!!
Thanks for viewing! Feel free to share!
Incredible interview! Wow, what a warrior. Normally, I scan around to the good parts, but this entire interview was excellent. Thank you for sharing.
That was amazing.
Thank you sir for your service and for telling your story.
I loved listening to you sir! Thank God you made it back. Much respect!
I love that there so many Vietnam veteran interviews but sometimes it’s hard to find the real good ones. This interview was definitely a great one! Thank you sir! My grandpa was in 173rd @ 18 in 68/69 . Glad he made it home

Welcome home everyone who went to Korea and Vietnam.
No parade’s for either war.
Agreed
We did not fight for parades or medals. We fought to live and save each other to make sure we all came home.
This is one of the best interviews I have ever seen. I was with the 7/17 Cav attached to the 4th infantry in 1978. Thank you.
Thank you, for your service to our country. I have such respect for men like you, and this hero, for what you are willing to sacrifice, in the most genuine way, for your fellow citizens. -woman, not woke, gen x
I can listen to him all day, Thank You Sir for your Loyal Military service., It disgusts me that America is becoming FUBAR. Proud Gulf war Veteran.
Thank you for sharing your story so candidly. I wish every human could feel the cost and courage your journey tells, of how to live and how to die, and how to live after all the worst that can be imagined.
Great interview.
What a captivating Interview - I could imagine the experiences he was telling about, and on the other hand i couldn´t - very intense things happened to this men.
Thank you sir, for taking us on this ride!
It was the quickest 2 hours of my life!
Interviewer does an excellent job here. Asks succinct questions and lets the man answer without interrupting trying to insert his knowledge into the situation. Thanks for sharing. Well done.
Thank you!
A great interview of a great soldier. As a fellow vet who has met... well, let's say more than a few 'Nam survivors/vets I feel honored to have heard the Captain's story. While I could probably pontificate, I think the best I can do given my own set of circumstances is to salute and say , "Airborne "...! God bless you..
I love listening to these people and their accounts of life.
That was an amazing story. Thanks .
Thanks to both of you for sharing.
Interesting dude.
this particular interview is likely the best i've ever listened to. as a combat vet there is so much inside me that i'ld like to express and i have been put at ease after listening to this story and for many reasons. so, thank you. please never stop. your efforts are more healing than anything else i've ever been offered.
