Vietnam Tribute - All Along The Watchtower (Jimi Hendrix)

[MrJcenter7]

After WwII the us exited the international stage with Korea Vietnam and almost every war since by fighting ideology instead outright aggression as in II I'm just not that patriotic I would fight if pressed like those men

[muathuvang142]

hoa kỳ thật sai lầm khi đưa quân đến VN

[claychapm87]

gold jacket, green jacket.. who gives a shit? it's a good song

[psteelers1288]

the french were already out of country by the time america got there, what started the war was an american warship was torpedoed by the north viatnamese in the gulf of somethingorrather

[LaserBeam002]

@psteelers1288 If I'm not mistaken it was in the gulf of Tonkin. America was looking for a reason to go into SE Asia under the pretense of halting the expansion of communism. Boy were our men fucked.

[psteelers1288]

@LaserBeam002 yea it was something like that

[totaldramailand1]

@psteelers1288 the ship sinking was a lie. my history teacher in the airforce, said it was just a lie to get us to go their. and French, then the austrailians were there, they stayed for 2 months to help, then left us their without telling.

[siant666]

We could never have won Vietnam for the same reason the British would never have subjegated the thirteen colonies. It was a political war not a patriotic one, to an average person and soldier, it didn't make sense. "my home is across the sea, how is this place a threat worth giving my life for?" The most vital element of war is the human element, the Vietnamese had a much better fighting spirit than the Americans because to they knew that they were fighting for and it was worth dying for to them

[SunsTo7]

@siant666 You speak out of ignorance. My only Bro. fought in the hotest spots in Nam and if you havnt seen real combat dont judge. I would of been proud to fight next to him over there. By the way after fighting that war my Bro came home to fight another war of spirit. He eventualy lost the last fight but died a proud Viet Nam Veteran!!

[siant666]

@SunsTo7 Wiat...what? How did he come back home and yet die in the last battle? And how exactly am I talking out of ignorance when you're speaking for someone else's words other than your own?

[SunsTo7]

@siant666 Hey youre right these are my words. His words were a BRNOZE STAR, A SILVER STAR, A PURPLE HEART, AND 4PALM CLUSTERS. Thats American Fighting Spirit, and buy the buy the final battle is always at home after war fighting the demons of the war. Now go back to youre X-Box and have your self a neat little war game. End of story.

[siant666]

@SunsTo7 Tell me, you were alive around that point where you not? What was the rationale about Vietnam to an average soldier/person in those days? It's not like the War on Terror in that our safety has been jeopardized in 9/11. The only reason why we were in Vietnam was over a petty squable between two small, unimportant countries and one of them happen to have an economic system we didn't like, they didn't do anything to us...that is why sympathy for Vietnam ran dry quickly.

[SunsTo7]

@siant666 Yes I served from 66 to 69. In those days most had no choise to go or not. It was a very unpopular war. But in a combat cituation politics goes out the window and its all about staying alive and putting down the enemy before he does you. The american soldier stood toe to toe and fought hard. Just rember Pol Pot and the Killing fields. As in any dictatership extermination was the order of the day. Humanity should always stop it. China also supplied the Norths war effort as did Russia.

[bigboy14100]

@siant666 not to forget France was there before America was America stepped in to help the french cause they were getting there asses handed to them and as soon as America got there the french bailed

[siant666]

@bigboy14100 Technically that was somewhat beforehand....the French tried to hold onto their colonies but seeing as they were too weak from WW2, they lost much of it. To reach a settlement Vietnam was divided into North and South like Korea was a couple decades earlier. The reason why there was a war was because the North Vietnamese believed that the country should be united....under a Communist banner. Which pretty much sent a red flag to us across the pacific.

[STARSCREAM0311]

Fuck ya! Team U.S.A.! Iran doesn't want none of this. Bitches!

[strat458796]

If I were 19 in '68 I would have volunteered proudly for the 1st calvary air division just as my grandfather did. I agree with all of you this was not a war to be won this was a war that was supposed to keep from communism from spreading and like we should have done in the beginning was say screw it. Damn it Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon you was killing us not helping

[MrT8T3R]

My uncle served 4 years in the Mekong Delta, River Patrol Section 532, where he piloted a PBR MK1. He is missed.

[negro90cm]

fock you usa

suck my dick obama

[GoHooah922]

My grandfather's cousin chester was in the Marines in Vietnam and died at the age of 19. I'm 13, and know too much about wars in terms of the academics, and everytime my friends ask me, ' did we win that war ' i say, no, but it wasnt about winning. No, it was about killing the man trying to kill you and getting home, or dying trying. It was a war not meant to be won in terms of taking the enemies land, or killing more people, or getting more medals. To those men it was about living. R.I.P. vets.

[buickmuscle85]

My grand father was in Vietnam he gave me one of his purple hearts some of the stories that he tells me make me scared. Anyone you see who served in vietnam feel sorry for them because they have gone threw stuff most of us will not see.

[mkstoner63]

@buickmuscle85 I have never and will never talk to my grandkids or my kids about that place. I served with SEALteamone Detachment Golf.  I only have 1 Purple Heart, but also have 2 Bronze Stars. I keep them stuck away in a drawer somewhere in my house. I haven't seen them in years. To understand life and death combat, you have to be there.

[WALLAH00F]

Vietnam, the war that should never of happened....

[Twintone2007]

you can´t even compare afghanistan to vietnam...

[valdivieri]

@Twintone2007 You are right, Vietnam can not compare with Afghanistan. But this war is creating the same problems, a lot of service members are coming back with the same similar mental breakdowns.

[Apollo2003]

all this talk about pay and benefits. If you choose to join the service, it should never be for money. It should only be for the honor and the will to serve and protect. If you want money get a 9 to 5. If you want to serve this country, then join.

[russell1501]

@skinnyboyflat go fuck yourselFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[Oksoccer1]

I do respect our soldiers and i'm planning on becoming a marine in a DEP program when I turn 16 or recruit until I finsih training, and I respect every man in the military, in Vietnam how would you be scarred if you were walking thorugh a muddy, wet, forest and see you man infront of you mabye your close friend fall through the ground on pungi stick covered in feces? Or if you see a tripwire disarm it and pick it up and see a frag taped to the end?

[dutchmasterchief2]

@Oksoccer1 you should go into the army the marines dont do nothin for you except teachin you how to kill and stay alive plus the marines dont give you benifits and the army does. it will help you out in the long run when you get older and start a family

[Oksoccer1]

@dutchmasterchief2 I've been thinking about that, the marines do give you benifits just you have to stay for a LONG time and not as much ever since the WW's the marines haven't done much but both my grandfathers and my uncle are marines so ive looked up to the marines for a while

[thunderbluff3]

@Oksoccer1 the marines don't have good benefits join the army they pay for ur collage health care for you and your family better training with real life skills other than to just kill and survive war

[dutchmasterchief2]

@Oksoccer1 the marines are good trainin dont get me wrong but i wish i had joined the army instead

[Apollo2003]

Imagine this!!. You a young man or woman. Sent on the other side of the world. A place rarely even mentioned or known of. Your orders, kill the enemy. Now, you have millions of enemies whos ONLY SOLE GOAL, is to KILL, YOU. Now, you fight thru terrains never seen, you experience horrors never imagined. You some how survive, though many of your friends did not. You come home, youre spit on and cursed at. But, somehow, you are supposed to take that experience, swallow it, and move on with life.

[Apollo2003]

@Apollo2003 That is the Vietnam War.

[Apollo2003]

@Apollo2003 Respect these MEN and WOMEN. If you see a vet, try shaking their hand and Thanking Them.

[dutchmasterchief2]

@Apollo2003 oh i can imagine it lol they totally disrespected vietnam veterans and some iraq/afganistan veterans returning home they dont deserve to be treated like that after seein what they saw

[Apollo2003]

@dutchmasterchief2 Do you know the curse of America. We may be the strongest nation of course. yea. But here. When we sit and decide not to interfere with others who cant defend themselves we are in the wrong. But, when we do interfere with/for nations who cant defend themselves we are wrong still. You see what Im saying here. No matter the course we take, we will be wrong. Its sad but hey, Id rather be here than any where else.

[wilcarr1]

You do not know you are saying the US conducted brutal attacks and this was the main problem for our loss we were more worried about the then emerging political correctness of the war as opposed to doing what what tactically necessary. I did not ask to go to Vietnam to "save the little peope" but to come back alive. I knew of no one in my unit that would harm a civilian although it may have happened since they did harbour the Viet cong. Vietnam vet infantry Co 2/506 infantry 101st Abn.

[emwatcher]

Great to see the Vietnamese people winning at the end -- a reminder that imperialism doesn't always triumph, even in the short run. Sad that so millions of Vietnamese lost their lives fighting for their country; also sad, as Hendrix knew well, that tens of thousands of Americans were sacrificed for imperial ambition. The environment also lost, but Dow Chemical did very well.

[SAM101AIRBORNE]

NOBODY WHO TAKES ANOTHER LIFE IS EVER THE SAME! NOBODY WHO PEES THEIR PANTS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO SCARED THEY DONT KNOW THEY ARE! NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY NOT EVEN YOU!! ,WHOEVER YOU ARE, WOULD EVER BE THE SAME...

SAM/101 AIRBORNE

NAM- CLASS OF 67/68

[386ben]

And the thing that sucks about our government is they will send us over there to fight and not want to support us when we come home. Send some Senators and congress mans kids over there and see how they are treated when they come back.

[Dimitri00Reznov]

See the dislikes? Nor do I.

[spongbobfreaks]

i had a dream and i was in a chopper shooting viet cong down and this song was in the background

[Blartednw]

i couldnt imagine the stress and sheer terror of that war

[fartknocker31]

Can you re-upload this and put it in 480 or 720HD format? would be awesome

[wallymichel12]

@fartknocker31 Fuck that 240p is the shit lol

[PriestessPat]

Our American troops SAVED lives over there. Saigon fell, look up "Operation Baby Lift". Don't talk shit unless you absolutely know your history.

[PriestessPat]

Some of you need to look up "The Killing Fields" and the name "Pol Pot" and "Uncle Ho" see if you can find info on the mass graves for NVN

[imurhucklberry1]

i lost my father 3 years ago from blood transfusions he recieved in veitnam causing him to get hepatitasc ruining his liver and his life. he was a brave man received 2 purple hearts and served in the 1st infantry airborne. although he is gone i have very good memories of him everyday. so please give honor to the ones who served for our freedom in the past, now and the future, if you dont have nothing good to say shut ur fuckin mouth. RIP dad

[WilliamHBonney55]

You might not believe it but I have met WW1, WW2, Korean, Vietnam, Belgian Kongo, Canadian veterans in my lifetime.I wanted to sign up for the Canadian armed forces and the DND called me like ten times.I also tried to sign up for the US army but needed a green card.

[WilliamHBonney55]

I have met Canadians that fought in this war.

[hopdoehop]

@WilliamHBonney55 met lots of Canadians in the US Army

back in the 1960 they were drafting

Canadians kids that were living in the USA

went through Ft Knox basic training with two of them

april 1968 D 16 4

[WilliamHBonney55]

@WilliamHBonney55

It is funny when Canadians and Americans bash each other on the Internet.Yet our two nations have been through a lot together. WW1,WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan.My father-in-law served in the Royal Canadian Air Force for 20 years.He served part of that time at an airbase in Biloxi Mississippi during the Vietnam war.

[wandinelson]

yankee go home

[ThatDudelol1]

My uncle served in Vietnam he was the only survivor of his squad he got shrapnel in his head fighting for this country but he doesn't show signs of shell shock or atleast from what ive seen

[thevoids74]

soldier.man up.

[TheMrpacman01]

[towtruckdriver1000]

[mohiahmed1]

@towtruckdriver1000 dam, them hueys took alot of fire.......

[MrIhaveacat]

Respect to all vets and service men.

[mmaman21209]

[robertwbecker]

[roughrambo1000000]

My dad was in Vietnam 

[91Dallas]

@roughrambo1000000 Mine too! He was a Marine, and did Artillery. He's still here, and strong as ever! I respect him so much!!

[DLTraining]

A giant sky machine sails immune above you, dropping metal rain. When it hits, it immolates and chars the flesh.

[haha2770]

FUCKN SPECTACULAR ! ..coming from a canadian.

[alex3373]

A lot of our boys and girls died unnecessarily in that war, and many more either committed suicide or came back scarred. I too know as a veteran of afghanistan what the effects of war can do on a person. To all the veterans who made the sacrifice I salute you.

[fuzzydizzle]

@alex3373 girls..

[34Pippy]

@alex3373 I love you all for doing what you were called to do and coming back home too us. May God bless you all for your amazing bravery, and courage. Thank you. : )

[mohiahmed1]

@alex3373 thank you sir and all people serving, its because of you people like me can enjoy freedom. idk much about war well...cause im only 16 but one day i will join the united states armed forces to test myself to see what i can really do in life

[lauriersroses333]

@alex3373 sacrifice ???????? they are murders, they went there killd ppl, innocent ppl !! are u kidding me ???? over 1 milion vietnameses was masacred and killd by american shame on you all

[alex3373]

@lauriersroses333 Where you there?? Are you a soldier?? Probably not. If you have something to say then I suggest you find a vet and tell it to their face, Otherwise keep commenting cowardly behind your computer.

[feeks84]

@alex3373 war is an awful thing, we salute your courage and sacrifice

[TheDreadedString]

@alex3373 i know how you feel. queens own....

[wilcarr1]

@alex3373 //correction, of the 59,916 who died in Nam only 12 were women. It was a mans war and his tragedy but moms,wives and girldfriends,sisters did suffer also from this loss.

[bigboy14100]

@alex3373 Thank you for your services to the greatest land on this earth i wanted to be a Marine so bad but due to personal issues i could not join i wanted to follow in my fathers footsteps and do my part for my country like he did in vietnam

[92LovePeace]

My mom's cousin fought in Vietnam. She told me that afterwards, he was never the same. Vietnam left a huge scar on those that experienced it, as well as our country's history.

[TheLatinJuggalo]

@92LovePeace i can relate my Granddad was there back in the 70's with the U.S. Army it was really terrifying for his mentality there were times he tried to kill my dad due to PTS but it is a tough reality we all gotta face about this war it got a lot of innocent blood spilled everywhere.

[pinholh]

@92LovePeace Thanks America! Thanks for using the Army for a good and useful cause. (sarcasm)

Anyone notice they're still doing it to this very day? Next stop, Iran!

[vman11p1]

@92LovePeace did vietnam leave any bigger a scare then wars like the spanish american war, or something like that? we just remember it because it happened so much sooner then then know

[JuggaloRydaz907]

this is FUCKING AWESOME! thanks for sharing @SIDA1999

[Voss2120]

Those B-52s carry and SHIT load or ordinance.

[88mroux]

perfect vienam war music video!! 2 thumbs way way up!

[NeB609]

Wow this is intense... excellent footage

[pbrucpaul]

I played this for a class of 8th graders when we were learning about Vietnam. They were on the edge of their seats. Then I went into the history of Vietnam clear back to the first invasions thousands of years ago and then to the French, Jjapanese, the US, and then the Cambodians and Chinese. Their resilience was just incredible. It reminded me of the Irish and their long ordeal with the British.

[assassinguy180]

this video shows what america,my homeland really is,acountry obessesed with money,power,and greed, any country tryin to help people always fall america will always do this either if its communism or "terrorism" as they always say "one person's act as terror,is justice to another" peace my friends

[AsskickinSasquatch]

@assassinguy180 shut up, if you don't like America then get the out and go to another country, but see how the rest of the world is living, then bitch about America. people like you make me sick

[assassinguy180]

@AsskickinSasquatch dude i have lived in other countries and i seriously doubt you have and to be honest, living in america is like being told lies day after day. we all know the government lies but some people just don't want to face that fact. thanks to dumbass bush we got in a war thats a huge ass stalemate but the news say, were winning but its all bullshit. stop hiding behind your toby keith warmonger ways to yourself no use spreading it to us.

[LawrenceAytman4]

@assassinguy180 Ooooh look at you using witty insults..Toby Keith Warmonger. I on the other also love America for it's freedoms but not the greed and all the other negative crap.But I do love the fact that we Warmongers. We're the new Texas you mess with us we'll kick your Ass

[assassinguy180]

@AsskickinSasquatch just another toby keith warmonger telling us to love our country or were going to hell take your god and jesus and shove it and to prove your piont i have lived in 3 different countries ive looked at america from an outside view and let me tell you it sucks its not as prety as it seems mr patriot

[highlanddan]

@assassinguy180 y dont u go die with the taliban then asshole.

[Hallr2970]

@assassinguy180 U r an idiot

[mamasboy815]

@assassinguy18 I can tell by the rambling of your words and the confusion in it's placement that you have no true understanding of this video.Trying to bring Truth about the conflict was it's purpose.Enough with the devision this War caused.Enough with the Hate.Terror as we have all come to know is a state of mind.It comes in many forms.It is caused by only onething Hate!!!! To use DEATH to prove a point brought forth by OPINION is the ultimate and Final condemnation to Hell.Tolerance,Love,TRUTH

[jostler10]

America is and will always be the chief war monger of our planet. The sooner we are without them the better.

[Furyloganwv]

peace and love brothers

[pbrucpaul]

We didn't lose any major battles in 'Nam; that's for damn sure. we just had our hands tied towards the end. Hopefully with the Afghanistan conflict, the politicians won't be as stupid as they were back in the early '70's. That would be another unforgivable move, and that just can't be tolerated.

[uDavide]

fantastic solo

[pbrucpaul]

Looks like 1968:TET. Cool military undertaking at beginning. The concussion from those B52 bombs was incredible. Taking over the American Embassy. That looks like an Australian MP with the gun. Then it moves to '75. Almost prophetic.. War is hell.

[pbrucpaul]

This number moves in just right with this 'Nam mean scene. "There must be some kind of way outta here"; amen. Futility at the end with that North Vietnamese Russian tank busting through Saigons government palace gate in '75.

[lechieuminhduc]

Awesome work my friend!

Lets make love not war...now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

[chingchong54]

this song fits perfectly with the vietnam war

[not1988]

Awesome!
