My Dad was a Korean War combat veteran (Marines, 1st Division) and he always said the kids who went and served in Vietnam were just as brave and dutiful as his generation and it was a disgrace how they were treated by the public.
I was in 2/C/1/1 and let me tell you it wasn't all a pic-nic. When we returned from Khe Sanh in early 1971, we had a memorial at Dong Ha. Out of 110 in our unit, there were 79 helmuts set out to honor our lost ones. Afterwards, some AO's were easy and some weren't. I was 2nd Platoon SGT for two years, and you know, try as I might, I can't remember a single name. I look at the wall and don't understand why I don't know their names. I see their faces every night, so I sleep as little as poss
@karlkarlkarl1234 This is a comment from a person who has publicly stated on youtube that any people killed by Hamas are 'of no consequence', really what sort of hateful person would say innocent people being killed are 'of no consequence'.
@karlkarlkarl1234 STFU. dear god.my father served with Aussie troops in Vietnam. and provided them with air support when possible and even rode around with them as a radio op with them,. if the Aussies could get fire support or air support they would use it every fucking time.
Americans used Silence too dumb shit just like the ROK did, don't ever comment on things you don't know jack shit about.
@karlkarlkarl1234! I had a conversation with a jew guy in Vietnam and he also said, Israeli army is best in the world. I had a conversation with an Aussie over the beers and he said the same thing about Aussies were best fighters in VN and Singaporeans were saying the same thing.
You're a real tuff guy. Get the facts straight Butt Wipe. Did you ever hear of the Paris Peace Accords? No you didn't.
America was tired of an ongoing unpopular war. Under President Nixon, America came to PEACE terms with North Vietnam. End of story.
America pulled out and lived up to her terms. It was North Vietnam that broke the terms. Two years after the PEACE ACCORDS were signed, the COMMUNISTS ,as they all communists do, broke the agreement and invaded the South.
Its too bad you guys had your ass handed to you in Afghanistan. Whats funny we are kickin ass there and you guys look like a bunch gay sissy boys you are and look like.queer bait
I dont care how tough they are, that jerk came on here making rude comments to veteran , a Vietnam veteran whos showing his pictures of his time in the service. Pisses me off.
@jammy764 um..they were put on that hill because stupidity and the Russians thought they could invade the country with ass loads of tanks. there logistics were horrible
its sad all of those brave young men expected to come home respected but the damn hippies made them feel like shit
