[HatefulDesigns]

[TheRonny61]

So many wasted lives...

[TheSlapjap]

what is the song at the begining



[blazehok]

44 years and two days ago I landed there.

[CFL0LSmilyFace]

@blazehok Thank you for fighting for us...even though this was was pure evil.

[Gilbert2112]

I've been shot with an automatic rifle bullet. This bullet went trough my femoral vain, and end up very close to my heart, right there, inserted in my left lung. I know the pain and sorrows of WAR. You, the young folks, please take a moment to think how important was the sacrifice that these guys gave for their country. You have freedom, democracy and the right to be who you want to be because of these kids in green . Please, THINK!!! and be forever thankful to them.

[abnormalalix]

umm vietnam had nothing to do with the spread of communism toward our country.. sorry but that was just ridiculous of you to say.

[bollockowithalob]

Vietnam was a pointless criminal assault.

Was a war of national liberation, not a commie thing.

'Ta for uploading.

[ml5781]

What is the name of the song :)

[drgusak]

@ml5781 Fortunate son CCR :)

[JohnnyAmerica546]

Up to 1,492, 846 dead or missing. 2,904,200 or more wounded. An estimated 2,500,000 civilian casualties. That is a total of 3,992,846 dead or missing for a war without a winner. God Bless the fallen.

[markonospoofo]

God Bless All Our Veterans. God Bless you All.

[blackopsmasterism]

my grampa surved in this war

[11Thefuture]

2 people are North vietnese.

[rla3853]

Four million Vietnamese dead. 55,000 Americans dead. Nobody won. Everybody lost. "War is hell."

[TheShawnyoda]

@rla3853 very true, people say we lost the war because communism spread to the south but millons of north vietmenise lost there lives and we destroyed there country for decades, and on top of that communism didnt take over the world

[zzodr]

Nobody faught in Vietnam

[moparman1971340ply]

So: Invaders good? war good?

Liberal socialism = bad? That must been the stupidest thing i ever heard. Liberal socialism is about as beutiful it get, a utopia without race, class differances with working democratic order and human laws. Where everyone is treated same way, all good.

Islam... a religion where you is born free, wich want its followers to study and learn the knowledge of world. a religion where about all form of destruction is a sin.

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT??????

[tzx1mv]

cesareo12 , you need to read more = just do a search on the post-9/11 GI Bill before you say that Obama did not pass a new GI Bill for Veterans. Also read how the spouse and children can also get funding using TEB. I cannot post URLs here but look it up on the gibill va gov

[tzx1mv]

Liberal Communists.........is that what Fox news told you to say? My father did two tours in Vietnam before the draft as did both of my uncles. The point is that all nations send their troops to war for polital gain - nothing else. My father died due to the toxins of agent orange = do you think he got help from the feds when he was dying of cancer.........not a thing. Glad to see that atleast Obama is extending college benefits to veterans of war and covering their children and wife!

[ShannonTheIdol]

Anyone who thinks communism is evil or bad, is extremely misinformed.

Extremely.

I'm sure they are the same fools who believe Fidel Castro was evil, and did nothing but kill his citizens.

[lightfoot1959]

I was in Vietnam,I went back to Saigon now HCMC in 2006 and lived downtown Saigon for 1 yr.You stupid fuckers have no clue WTF u are talking about.Nam is Nam its not changed and its a communist country get a fucking clue.To those of you wishing US dead and Happy we Died their defending your Dumb ass so you can say these things.We won our Battles and kicked fucking ass,To be let down by our GOVT and fucks just like you.Get a Life

[tfoen7678]

LOve it.

PLayed this while I was down SOuth, git'in chewed by the Sgt's spell.

[leatherface976666]

Fuck the asshole that voted this down

[Anorrea]

war on lies

[alohate]

Irac is the new vietinam..

[SteelCrash]

why didnt the fight to keep communism out if of yugoslavia we suffer under communist hand for allmost 100 years allmost destroying our culture ...

[OkamiThunder]

I dunno communism in theory is great but the physical application has always failed in a large step unfortunately what stops communism from working is literally people. Communism isn't evil its corrupt communism that is.

[The19700616]

GOOD JOB!

[pmoneymcw]

This really was a useless war, I support the idea of preserving the memories of those who died and those who survive but I hardly think Communism is a monster that would destroy us. The only reason we fought in this is because we are taught that democracy is the only way and that we have the right to police how people run their governments. Which is completely false. In short all this war is, is a battle of the ideologies.

[DantoraMandova]

It's funny how dumb patriots are. I'm south veitnameese and I had to beat the shit out of this kid for calling me a "commie." I got suspended from school, but it's worth beating ignorant patroit ass.

[SkeletonSarge]

@DantoraMandova you should've said we helped you're country (my country) but that kid did deserve it it like putting a swatsika on a jews locker and calling a german a Nazi which don't exist anymore (at least what I heard)

[chaddykins69]

@DantoraMandova atta boy, show that self centered bitch whats up

[legoww2model]

what is the name of the song?!!!

[incelism]

usa troops had better tech but viets have skills like hiding in grass and trees i know this cause i am vietnamise

[DammitDrag]

@incelism The V.C. have a habbit of loosing their ears around me...........

[chazLdy]

I move that this should be our new National Anthem. What say you all?

[gitarische]

USA made his people think they have won but they didn't ! Just talk with some real veterans and you'll know...

[Abprat1]

brooklyn tech mother fuckers

[blavoie91]

lol the first part of the vid was from forest gump

[olejonnyrustbakken]

ccr

[4Flaming2]

whats the song name please?

[undeterminevector]

@ isocrate27: Not really :)) Vietnam can have some similar parts of managenment way as China. But absolutely never be "same thing as China"

But I think if we imitate China may we can develope as fast as China :))

[isocrate27]

Is Vietnam the same thing as China?

[undeterminevector]

And Vietnam is still a socialist country but we re developing by ways seem capital :| i think. Need to do that if we want to strengthen economy

Happy time everybody

[undeterminevector]

I'm Vietnamese. And I see all of you have many many comments about war between Vn and US, about communism and capitalist. That's not necessary :))

Bec anyway, now general Vietnamese ppl re fine. War ended for long long time. Global ppl still think that Vn is a war country, but u should know that today Vietnam has very high Global Peace Index - 39th in the world, 2nd in Southeast Asia Nations. Social life is very comfortable and friendly :)

[benissocoolFACT]

Well,Have you ever thought that Veitnam was abit unessesary? that maybe the vietnamies populance didnt want war?

[DammitDrag]

benissocoolFACT... Listen Lad, Imagine if you can every teacher you have being drug into the street and executed.

Now imagine your family's preacher, librarian,mayor of your town all of them executed.

If your Father were to speak out at this atrocity imagine him shot like a dog.

This is why America went to war in Vietnam, these things were happening on a regular basis.

Still feel like it wasn't necessary ?

[Bonygasse]

The true Reason was Money...like nowadays. sad but true...and those brave soldiers - they payed the rent...on both sides...

[benissocoolFACT]

@DammitDrag Well i gess,At least you gave me a civle reply (Y)

[cesareo12]

@DammitDrag that´s no why America went to war, read History please

[DammitDrag]

@cesareo12 Read history my ass, I was there and saw it.

[cesareo12]

@DammitDrag im not impressed. You dont even know why were you there. You just needed something to die for..but u were wrong..and withdrawed

[DammitDrag]

@cesareo12 I knew exactly why I was there, YOU have no idea why America fought the war.

I didn't withdraw I was hauled away on a litter, What have you EVER done for America other than run your mouth ??

[cesareo12]

@DammitDrag 

watch?v=5LctoUV-tag

[cruisingcody]

@DammitDrag

there probably wouldn't have been a war if that one president (forgot which one, I think not long after WWII) wasn't dumb and accepted Vietnam as a Territory. and two whole countries had to pay for his asinine decision with their lives, and not just soldiers, we're talking about civilians too. But we did fight, and for a good cause.

[151875]

i know that this probubly sounds like a i dont care comment but i do i care about the war and the vets and all the people who lost there livews i really do but ............what is the song name? i never found out the name......a i know that sounds really like a jerk move i know

[gdman00]

@151875 Nahh. Everyones been asking that. Its "Fortunate Son" by Credence Clearwater Revival.

[howardrhughes]

@gdman00 YEAH ITS A GOOD SONG.. IT PREACHES THE WORDS OF MOST VETERANS IN MY OPINION, NOT ASKING WOULD HAVE BEEN A JERK MOVE IN MY MIND

[HansKerr]

Let’s be realistic, we lost that war because we never used the real and right fire power we have in the West. We should have nuked them, just we should nuke some other states today, It is about time we use that power, before they overpower us (only by breeding)

[BubbaFett94]

@HansKerr Are you mental? This is the real world, kid. Not Modern Warfare 2. You don't use weaponry that could tun the world against you just because you're losing a war. The only reason the atomic bomb was used in Japan was to get them to surrender. The projected civilian death toll for an invasion of Japan was over double what the bombs took out. If we had nuked Nam, we would've started World War III on the spot. Go back to your Xbox and decisions be made by those who know what they're doing.

[BubbaFett94]

@HansKerr Sorry, I had some typos in that. This laptop hates me.

*turn the world against you

*let decisions be made

[clloud42]

The Amercicans had the better technology.

But the Vietkong knew their country... video description: "to keep communism from reaching it's tentacles out and destroying us."

-.-

Im glad the USA lost!

But in the end they won. Look what Vietnam look like now....

[gdman00]

For your information I have quite a few friends from Vietnam (I go to an international school), so I do have an idea of what I'm talking about. Whats wrong with Vietnam today??

Also, the only way we "won in the end" was that the Soviet Union collapsed and wasn't allowed to influence the entire world.

[clloud42]

Whats wrong with Vietnam today??

Nothing. It looks like what it is. A communist country trying on its way to become part of the Western World. This is why the Americans finally won though

[gdman00]

@clloud42 Vietnam is hardly communist anymore. They kinda grew out of that. At this point theyre more of a capitalist society than anything else.

[StargateFan414]

@gdman00 Same with China, too. They may claim Communism, but they're almost as capitalist as we are. Only Cuba is really Communist anymore.

[Sanksion]

@gdman00 well, regarding the level of corruption and of bureaucracy of Vietnam, the USA failed the war, the Vietnam has been a communist country, and now, even if there is no more death camps, it is like a lot of former communist State, a weird economy that is not laissez faire capitalism at all.

[TheA340guy]

@clloud42 nobody wins in war. The rich aristocratic businessmen benefit from it. Soldiers from both sides died terrible deaths because of greed.

[ctenar1970]

@clloud42 a little solace for the losers do not harm anyone,especially when the winners reached their goals.

[50poiuyt]

@clloud42 The impudent is typical character of Yanks.The shameful loss can be explained as victory !

[tess1er6868]

@50poiuyt What you talking about, Willis? (American Imperialist cultural reference)

[Blizzardthomas]

@clloud42 The states never actually lost a battle in the vietnam war and the war itself was a military succes but the public did not make that go hand in hand with the slaoughter they were seeing and therefore the was also a political flop.

[crippincraccin]

@Blizzardthomas thanks to the fuckin hippys. Everyone needs to read ur post cause its soo true

[50poiuyt]

@clloud42 small solace to the big loss

[siblingforsale]

@clloud42 Uh, the Americans didn't win.

[cesareo12]

@clloud42 sure, all the soldiers are in heaven thinking the same. Vietnam is today one of the first growing economies, like China. But if you prefer to live with the fasified and simplified idea of Comunism VS capitalism, the present scenario is completely different. By the way ..you LOST the war, US forces withdrawed

[KissMeImPunk]

@gdman00 We also sorta really fucked them up with Agent Orange...

[601SQNRAF]

Nothing like incompetent, weak-willed politicians to screw up a slam-dunk.

[chestateegold]

hmm, you mispelled fought

[gdman00]

oops...

[grantorinoable]

jenial

[MrRonnieG]

The song's title is FORTUNATE SON. It could easily have been sung about the junior Bush.

[601SQNRAF]

Or Al Gore

[MrSokoloffs]

It's Fortunate son by CCR, cool song and band...

and by the way, nobody asked US to start this war

[hardyextrem23]

Oh my God War is horrible

And can i have the song name?

[rebelstang]

GOD BLESS, OUR TROOPS,

ALL ALLIED FORCES

& TRUE PATRIOTS!

Past! Present Future!

Praise The LORD

and Pass The Ammunition!

islam & liberal socialist, are the enemies, of us all!

DEO VINDICE!

[gotrock99]

@rebelstang Shame on you. Islam is not the enemy. 9/11? Blaming 9/11 on all of Islam is like blaming all of Christianity for what the KKK did. Quit watching Fox News.

[cesareo12]

@rebelstang yeah , lets kill all of them with divine orange agent! You are a terrorist

[tzx1mv]

@cesareo12 Sorry jackwad my father died due to your agent orange = did you father?

[cesareo12]

@tzx1mv no he didnt, but it´d be a shame on him if he joined the army. Agent orange? US government killed your father, boy.

[Maxen89]

@rebelstang

So: Invaders good? war good?

Liberal socialism = bad? That must been the stupidest thing i ever heard. Liberal socialism is about as beutiful it get, a utopia without race, class differances with working democratic order and human laws. Where everyone is treated same way, all good.

Islam... a religion where you is born free, wich want its followers to study and learn the knowledge of world. a religion where about all form of destruction is a sin.

[gdman00]

@rebelstang Islam is not the enemy of us all. Radicals of all backgrounds around the world are.

P.s. I know u wrote this a year ago but idc.

[jonskislo1]

@rebelstang liberal socialist? Dude are you completely manipulated? Hmmm guess politics can realy turn people against other people... :)

[BradNC11175]

The fight against communism is far from over. The fight against communism isn't 8,000 miles away now it's in local, State and federal government buildings right here in America. Don't let the Cold War veterans down by sellin this country out to exactly what they fought against!!

[RemoSC49]

And remember to never vote for a marxist again

[BradNC11175]

RemoSC49: Not only never vote Marxist but run the commie traitor outta office on a rail and hang the prick!

[RemoSC49]

Damn straight!!

[Marko6286]

This song is true! Politisions and rich sons newer go to war, I fight in Kosovo and I was 19 years old. Childeren of politisions and rich have fun at home and rest of us fight(no fortunate sons). And those bastards tell us something about patriotism. FUCK THEM AND WAR, I will newer fight in war. Greetings from serbia

[makinawdandy6699]

It ain't me...It ain't me....I ain't no senators son....

[ctenar1970]

if USA supported democracy and freedom of Vietnam ,was not war."Problem" Vietnam was solved by free election in 1957 acording to Geneva Agreement solved

[601SQNRAF]

If the elections would have been honest, perhaps an election would have worked; unfortunately, with a lot of South Vietnam's countryside under the control of, or threatened by, the Viet Minh, how honest would an election have been?

[ctenar1970]

The election under control of international commission .Yanks knew ,if election was held ,Ho Chi Minh will win easily 80% voters,that's why they blocked it

[dadubs93]

And those young lads - most below 20 - Died for a cause that frightened the old men in the Whitehouse had a "feeling" that "some" countries in asia "may" turn communist. Not facism - communism.

[bassnman420]

whats this song called

[mcivort]

Fortunate son by ccr

[sundcekid]

Good thing Odumbie wasn't president the or we would have been reciting the POWs their damn Miranda Rights............Makes me sick!!! American FIRST and to hell with the rest if we are going to fight a war!

[racedinghy]

@sundcekid

grow up kid

it was a dumb ass war

and yes i know was there US Army RVN 69/70

[sundcekid]

@racedinghy ....grow up kid? Hey Pal...you were NO alone heroe ok? I was there myself, USS Whipple and SSN Sargo....I just wasnt a grunt thank God. Furthermore? We sure as hell weren't reading Miranda Rights to POWS were we? Remember or dont you?

[BECKDADDY]

AMEN. WHAT CHANGE HAS HE BROUGHT US?

[lechinhluan]

The red wave of communists started from Moscow, poured into China, North Vietnam, expaned to South Vietnam and to Cambodia . The red wave brought destruction to where it went including South Vietnam, Cambodia. It stopped only when USSR collapsed, cut off aids to all communist parties under Russian influence

[lechinhluan]

North VN kept on invading South VN as long as they received aids from USSR. The war machine of NVN stopped when the USSR cut off aids in 1986 for economic reason. VN withdrew from Cambodge. This means if the US had helped SVN until 1986, the VN War would have ended and SVN would survive. No need US troops in SVN after 72, just aids

[lechinhluan]

Wars started since Lenin formed Third International with the strategy that Russia helps communist parties of Third Wold countries to take power in order to isolate capitalist countries. US tried to stop communist expansion. Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos were conflict points between free world and communist bloc

[lechinhluan]

Had the US not intervened in Vietnam in 50s communists would have gone further to SE Asia. South VN & US stopped communists at 17th parallel for 20 years. During this time, the crack between Russia & China became wider. After 75, proxy war between Russia and China fought in Cambodia. The domino effect stopped because communists fought each other

[induna7]

you spelt "fought" wrong

[MasterM15]

No matter how you make propaganda with pourposes to tell the entire world that America was there to protect Vietnam, that nobody really will believe on it. Even my professor who was teaching in England during my college times confessed that America was there for foolish pourposes and end up running away from Vietkongs.

[7dragonblue]

actully it was amreicans fault my grampa was in this war it was americans fault tis war started

[MasterM15]

I know!!!

[ctenar1970]

cost this fault was miliony of the lifes

[541gamer]

go song and great war

[DarraghC152]

nothing great about war only thing great in war is the body count

[bojo21nes]

Great war ??

I don't think war is great ...You know it's not like a vidoe game.But maybe i didnt understand well your coment

[Prka01]

Only those that have been fortunate enough never to witness a war can say something as foolish as what you have just said. I hope you never have to witness a war and continue to live in blissfull ignorance.

[ctenar1970]

To Prka01: as for you,what mark does this parrot get for his parrotry?

[Prka01]

CBA to read all of the comments, so yes, I may have repeated something someone else already said. Wich, in my oppinion does not make it any more or less valid.

oh. never mind. and vietnam was sad but not as sad as WWII.

[snowflakeFactory]

Whats this song?!?!

[vampirecomedian]

whats teh song

[lithopoonwit]

Why is it that media want to forget about Vietnam? official excuse is we "lost", and is not correct. US didn't lose, they decided to pull out in 1973 after Paris peace talks. Is it that fight not important anymore? Communism is about to have a huge come-back. American,European youth is brainwashed to be (communist) "world citizen". Is it that we'v learned to like it,that we don't see the dangers anymore? Are we not being educated anymore about murderers Lenin,Stalin,Mao,PolPot,Ho chi Minh?

[MyBulldog01]

Thank you for rembering the Vietnam vets.We

were treated like lepers when we returned

home. DE OPRESSO LIBER my friend

[theblob34]

hey all the yanks out there check out team america its the new us marines traing style

[ceda1389]

it's war for opium, not for comunisam

1945-2009 usa bombing 50 country

FUCK USA

[SpartanMan80]

Communists kill opium addicts. No rehab. Just shoot them. That's what happened in China.

We were the only country with the Nuclear Bomb after '45, and we didn't use it to bomb anyone else but Japan. We could have dominated the world easily.

Now what were you saying about bombs?

[keyboardkat71]

We Americans logically won the war, we won every battle, and we did not lose as much troops as the reds did. And you offending us is stupid. We could nag at the fact that Market Garden was a

huge flop, so be happy we are not saying that,

Brits.

[srdjanvujatovic92]

Stupid people, have you not read the book called "Imperial Ambitions" by Noam Chomsky. It explains everything USA did after WW2. Stupid US motherfuckers...

[grammyd55]

Great choice of music.....my husband fought two tours in Vietnam, and this was one of his favorite songs. Most of the kids that served in Vietnam were drafted into military service. If you were the son of someone prominent, you could get out of battle.....get appointed to a desk job. If you were just a common person, they were going to strap that gun in your hand.

[blake585]

Are you kidding dude? Not only you lost, but communism didnt spread even though it was never contained. Silly ignoramuses like yourself didnt understand the world outside their own, and/or exagerated the need for war in their great and hyper-paranoid patriotism. Hundreds of thousands of lives and families destroyed on both sides. STFU.
