For many of those NVAs (North Vietnamese Army), it was a real delight for them to "arrive" to the new capitol of Ho Chi Minh City because many of them came all the way from the north where opportunities were scarced...
I wonder what it feels like when someone comes in and sends your country and life back to the stone age? Until recently Vietnam looked worse than this 40 year ago scene
Well in 2011, Vietnam is more like the Republic of Vietnam. Capitalism returned, rich people rule and workers suffer. Vietnam was NEVER a socialist nation, not under Ho Chi Minh and not under the rule of the current Communist Party leadership. All those Viet Cong died for nothing. Vietnam is again dominated by capitalists and big business. America and Vietnam are friends again.
Democracy and human rights were never the issue. The USA wants capitalist rule in Vietnam, in the end they got it.
@sunderlandgrl They wanted it because they were worried about influence from the Soviet Union, the War in Vietnam had nothing to do at all with Vietnam, it was always about the US vs Russia, Capitalism vs Communism.
Como on, man. You guys got your ass beat up pretty good in vietnam. The vietcong fought like warriors. A small country beat the shit out of a big country such as the U.S with all their new weapons and capability, they could not defeat the vietcong. That's the truth. I know you guys "U.S people" don't want to hear that, but it is what it is. You guys got your fucking ass beat up in Viatnam.
@VivaSandino10 well that what te media of the time seemed to think, but in reality the vietcong were COMPLETELY unable to wage ANY kind of major military action after Tet, they had lost HALF of their fighting units in that offensive, entire divisions were routed. they lost thousands, we lost what, maybe a hundred. they were hoping for a mao-style sweep through the countryside, what they got was a population that was fed up with them, and they got massacred...
@VivaSandino10 we know this because several VC higher-ups panic'd and defected soon after
but again the media of the time blew it WAAAY out of proportion. particularly as it came to the incident at the US embacy, saying that the VC had taken the embacy and there were bodies everywhere, the bastards never even made it to the front door, they all died on the grounds soon after they breeched the wall.. journalistic honesty for ya.. yellow bastards
I think this is the truth, people fled Saigon when communists were raiding in Sai Gon. I'm a child of the Republic of South Vietnam and I'm proud that my family has served for the Republic of South Vietnam
you have to think what was all this pointless bloodshed for, 46 years later vietnam now has a basically free economy, why did millions of lives go to waste?
Because the US had fed its people a Giant box of Brainwash called the Domino Theory. Same box with the new label they fed their people for the last 10 years called WMDs. I wonder what theyre going to relabel the brainwash with next.

@linh0lrd If ARVN won the war, Vietnam would be an economical heaven. It would be almost as good as America. My dad was a Lieutenant in the South Vietnamese Navy. Stationed in My Tho, he fought until he was out of ammunition. Even after the call for surrender, he and 2 other men from his group fought and destroyed 2 Viet Cong jeeps and flipped a tank over.
@linh0lrd You are VERY RIGHT, want to know the truth, write to me, my brother was there 3 times and I have worked with Viet Nam Vets since the 70ies, I tell you the truth but not here, since others will but in that are like you, know nothing. Don't get it wrong it was NOT the USA that started war, The French , and Viet Nam beg JFK for your help, at 1st JFK said NO! But after we did go you have the French, American's and Vietnamese running around killing each other.I still feel bad 4 American GIs
I'm sure what you've been taught would have some elements of truth. For those in support of the communist regime would have certainly cheered and welcome the VC into Saigon.

Ngày chấm dứt chiến tranh, tái lập hòa bình, giải phóng dân tộc, thống nhất giang sơn thì bọn chống Cộng, phản quốc gọi là "Black April", "Tháng Tư Đen"!
At the same time, my country Cambodia also fell to communist forces. America should've never became involved in Indochina if all they did was enter and destabilized the region and thought that leaving a sudden power-vacuum was okay.
Note he says "people" in the description, not US soldiers. Many believe the people fleeing are part of the US military, but its actually all Vietnamese people. Just thought id mention this.
@baberaider18 Tell me, village idiot, is this communist-ruled country involved in a civil war right now, or warring with another one? Are they still peasant-poor like it was 1975? No and no.
Do me a favor, stop playing with your dick and pick up a book or read the news.
@amazingdany I have been to Vietnam and my uncle lives there and I remember talking to my cousin and he said that his family had no money because the communists took their money for no reason. They had done nothing wrong. YOU should stop playing with you vagina and learn you history again. Most people make less than 800 US dollars A YEAR.
It was a god damn disgrace what Congress did to those people by pulling out support and all the brave soldiers and airmen who died fighting for South Vietnam.
Shame on gutless politicians, shame on the liberal media, shame on communist aggression!
U know what? I blame this to fucking french!!!!! IF THEY WERENT THERE IN VIETNAM, THIS WOULDNT HAPPENED AND THEY WOULDNT GET THEIR ASSES KICKED!!! im vietnamese too and i too am Republic vietnamese not FUCKING COMMUNIST!!!
God Bless Ronald Reagan for defeating the Soviet Union ! Lets kick these liberal assholes outa here ! Can't wait till Jan 4th. Then we shall hang these Marxists/communist liberals !
These horrible stinking liberals were a nightmare all the way from the start of January 2007 thru the end of 2010 here !! 4 horrible years in America are about to come to an end.
11 days and these SOB's will finally be fired !! Click....click
everybody is happy? dun think so. bloody communists killed heaps of ppl after the fall of saigon. the bloody china goverment shouldn't have help the bloody north vietnam. fucking communists!
after the war, no body happy, all of those soilders including the viet talking english would have to go to jail for life, if he said he happy he woild pay a very good price for it
2:44 to 3:20 message should be broadcast across US every morning in Radio,television in each and every possible Media.so that some sense prevail among next generation Americans in order to encourage them to abandon their fucking cave man mentality.
Thats not military that is CIA AIR AMERCA. My dad and uncle did a tour in nam. The both said nam was beautiful till we bombed it. That is a reason why I joined the Army National Guard.
@holtridge Since no american or any helicopters arrive to fetch them, they were absorb by the vietcongs and became commies. Look since the american forces left vietnam, saigons finished.
@omfg4000 --Vietnam wasnt a bad country post-war??? All of the re-education "camps" millions were sent to, and landowners killed? What kind of freedom did people enjoy under Communism? Think they could have spoken out freely like we are doing here? Ho Chi Minh killed a lot of people, so I dont care what he called himself
@loyaldude10 I don't have much pitty for rich landlords that got into good positions during the colonial era. I belive that the poor people were more happy and gained more power. Control over the land they once worked for without any substantial gain. Maybe the communists went to far, but after hundred of years of monarchy and a decade of colonial dominance, perhaps a wave of new propaganda was justified to fill out the old?
Funny how the description refers to them as VC when this is the NVA. Americans should know the difference.
I just visited HCM City and toured the Palace, War Museum and Cu Chi Tunnels. So cheap to visit Vietnam, it should be a must-see traveler's itinerary.
That's because the US hasn't left Iraq. There is still a 50,000-strong American contingent that will remain in the country for support and training. US presence is there to stay, America is simply re-branding its occupation.
@SuzieGriss I think ordinary people are good and will almost always choose peace if given a chance; it's the politicians at the top of both sides who are power hungry megalomaniacs wanting to wage war so they can prove who is the most powerful. I think phamicek says this in a simple but eloquent way. It's inspiring to me that someone who I think is Vietnamese doesn't hold a grudge against ordinary American GI's, but pities them and the hell they had to go through.
just about every south vietnamese in these videos was killed over the next few months if they where over 2 years of age . and here we are in another war we have no plan on winning we will back out of afganistan and irag
Actually, North Vietnam was surprised that the Untied States pulled out because we were winning. It would be like the Allies quitting WW2 just before D-Day.
It's not a fabrication, dude. Check out the Tet Offensive. We practically destroyed them. And even after we withdrew, South Vietnam thrived for another 2 years and controlled more territory than ever before in its recent history.
We had been "winning" militarily the whole 12 years we were there, yet we were still there fighting. So your analogy to D-Day is stupid.
You can't win a war of invasion and take over if most or the people are on the insurgences sided, unless you're going to bomb all the people to death. This was explained to Kennedy from the begining, and then Johnson, and then Nixon, and they all ignored it. 50 years later clearly many refuse to learn the undoubtly proven lesson.
"We had been "winning" militarily the whole 12 years we were there, yet we were still there fighting. So your analogy to D-Day is stupid." I guess. I was just trying to point out that it's like knocking your enemy on his ass and then walking away. No need to be abusive.
@kamikaze6000 ---we may have killed more of their troops than vice versa but our goal was not being achieved---so in that sense, we "lost" Some people equate that with losing, but in Europe, we defeated the Axis powers on the ground, as well as in the air.
@1j0k3 I'm not sure if you could really claim a victory when the NVC and regulars lost over 500,000. Oh and by the way Vietnam the poorest and in poverty of all of southeast asia. Shit Cambodia's economy is stronger, laugh. Get your facts straight you communist loving bastard, educate yourself before you speak. My Vietnamese wife and I got to Hanoi on vacation and make some communist bastard like you make our bed in the hotel.
@1j0k3 Don't talk for all the Vietnamese. Many of them committed suicide after they knew the communist were comming. Thousands of them jumped into American ships to come to America. more than 200,000 South Vietnamese were sent to Re-education camps to be brainwashed by communist ideals. Korea was the same shit as Vietnam, but South Korea turned out well, did it not? Although Vietnam is lucky now, since they're embracing more capitalist ideals.
@gillila8 So when a russian visit an american hotel , who make the bed and maid the room? oh is not an american capitalist citizen doing that job for a maybe communist folk.?
@BurlFish79 I hate corporate America. Used to work for them several years and always hated them how they treat employees. Treat you like a damned number with those cameras overlooking - might as well work in a prison camp with those slave drivers.
@rkeayes yeah, but they still do it. It starts at the top. the government are basically mobsters working in these air conditioned yellow buildings who run a protection racket on the rest of the country.
My Father did 3 tours over there. He loved the Vietnamese people. His last tour near killed him and he was permanently disabled. When Siagon fell to the NVA, he watched it on the news. He could not believe that our gov't was leaving those people. It was a betrayal, not only to those Vietnamese citizens on top of that building. It was a betrayal to my Father and the men that he watched die, who all thought that they were fighting for something.
@chazLdy and what were they fighting for? the soldiers on the ground didn't know, and neither did the american people. hence all the dissension in the streets, and within the army. the americans, like the french before them, were simply trying to reassert a fading western control in the face of a growing anti-colonial nationalist movement.
@commonzac As in every war, before or since, all soldiers fight for both their country and their buddies. What they did not realize was the historical context into which they were flinging themselves...head-first. They trusted and believed in our gov't. and all of their efforts and sacrifice came to nothing.
It does not take a huge stretch of the imagination to know that the current conflicts will end the very same way.
@chazLdy My buddies dad died of Agent Orange poisioning in 1998.That poor man did what he could after 1968 to be a decent person but instead he got sick and never recovered.
@chazLdy Vietnamese love peace, we not came to destroy and kill American people, why American came Vietnam and killed Vietnamese people? US soldiers fighted and sacrificed for what? Vietnam is biggest mistake of US, next is Irag and Afghanistan, and who next North Korea or Iran? US government seem to love WAR.
@tubum87 All I can say is this...you fought for what you got. Don't cry to anyone else because your poor or need medicine or your economy sucks or you need tourism or subsidies. Ask good old Ho Chi Min to help you out. It's YOUR country, you fought for it. Live with it or die trying. If your doing good, cool. If you can't make it, tough shit. Die in your sickness and your poverty. I have no sympathy, anger or emotion for you. You are much like flies that I swat with little care. Now, go..exist
@tubum87 Tub....we don't like war. What we don't like is a government that oppresses. Ummm, much like yours. Heaven forbid you have an original thought that isn't government approved. Or a lifestyle that is your own. No, you are a slave to your government and anyone who does not comply is the enemy. So much for "peace loving". So peace loving that if your own family member does not comply, you must report them for discipline. While you live in poverty, your superiors live in better conditions
@RythmandStrings You know you sound pathetic picking on some innocent kid like that? You say you don't like war but US has been in war for 200 years and you just don't know it. I bet you didn't know US soldiers killed 200,000 civilians in the Philippines in 1898-1902? Heard of US fighting in China 1899-1900, Nicaragua 1912, Vera Cruz Mexico 1914, Haiti 1915, Siberia 1918, China 1936? How about CIA in Iran '50's, helping French in Dien Bien Phu 1954, bringing Saddam to power in Iraq 1968?
@AccordGTR Yeah the US gets way to much credit for saving Europe from the nazi's - at least compared to the shit they have created all over the globe. Heck, even the nazis coming to power had alot to do with US pressure on Germany as the only country responsible for the war. It really had to pay to much to the allies at the end of hostilities.
@raykob95 they will say the same thing about capitalism. communist share wealth between every working man, capitalist steal wealth from the working class to the ruling elites. if you want to learn what capitalism is all about you dont have to study the US system, you should study the capitalist nations friend of the united states, and you will find a lot things that will disturb you.
@loslorie dude i bet u dont know even know wat communism means> the communists take land from da rich and keep it to dem selve...ur country doesnt get rich from being a communist. plain and simple.russia undertands that.u dont even know wat capialism is all about huh?
@chazLdy your father and all the american army dogs deserved death. americans found what they deserved, defeat and humilliation by a very smalll country such as north vietnam. the whole world was happy that the USA lost there, after all the whole world hates the us government because all the genocides they commit in the name of freedom and bullshit.
@chazLdy And tell your father I said thanks. and that no veteran, be him/her a vietnam vet or an Iraq vet, will be forgotten and can not be thanked enough.
@chazLdy they left those people to teach Nixon a lesson about bombing cambodia without telling congress. And they didn't need them anymore after their agreements with China to oppose Russian "hegemony". Kind of cold, but that's what they did. I think that kid who's "very happy" spent at least ten years in a slave camp
dân vượt biên năm xưa vì phải trả giá quá nhiều cho nên bây giờ toàn quay lại chửi Việt Nam. Họ cũng chẳng biết dân miền Bắc cũng phải chịu bao nhiêu cau đắng để có được một nước Việt Nam độc lập không bị phụ thuộc.
Có ai muốn sang Iraq đánh nhau mà vẫn phải đi như lính Hàn Quốc vì họ là đồng minh của Mỹ đó. Cái gì cũng có giá của nó các bạn hải ngoại ạ.
Johnson should have stopped the war when he had the chance to do so. The fact that 'soft on communism' even existed was fatal to the war. The presidents of America had no chance to be against the war.
The guerilla warriors were extremely good at night, only during the day the American's had the chance to do something. And the only thing that they could do was bombarding everyone and everywhere.
i dont understand why anyone can be anti-communist. its like saying your against everyone having enough to feed themselves, get educated and recieve healthcare. sick brainwashed capatalists. one day i hope the world will be communist, we're just not ready yet, too much curruption.
If communism is so great, why do communist countries have really shitty standard of living? Why are all communist dictators scum who eat fine foods while their people starve to death? Look at Mao, look at Stalin they both starved MILLIONS of their own people to death!
The communist authority orchestrates the agent orange lawsuit as a propaganda for money through Nguyen Trong Nhan, a former health minister who is a vice chairman of the Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange, and millions of dollars of compensation for victims would end up in the pockets of corrupt high-ranking officials as in the case of PMU-18 scandal in which foreign aid was used to gamble and pay for prostitutes. (Vietnam is ranked as second most corrupt nations in Asia)
They love their Uncle Ho but understand that his policies didn't work
They want capitalism back. (America number 1! Welcome back!)
They believe they made the same mistake in Cambodia that we made in Vietnam
Their government is imposed - they have no say. They think we must be in the same position, so they can criticize the American government while holding the people blameless.
They understand that US soldiers didn't want to be here - they were as much victims as the average Vietnamese.
During Vietnam war, only communists in jungles were bombed. But under the ruling of communists, all people from North to South suffered hunger, lost their freedom. South Vietnamese did not flee their country during the war despite all the bombings, fighting. More than two millions people fled Vietnam when they had to lived under communist ruling.
Ho chi Minh, Vietnam's communist founder, is a disguting TRAITOR and MURDERER. He was a member of the Third Communist International established in 1919 by Lenin. He gave up Paracel & Spratly archipelagos with large oil resources to Red China. He even ordered to murder his own mistress named Nong thi Xuan when she threatened to disclose her sexual relationship with him since that would destroy his image as a "Father" of Vietnam who "sacrifices" his whole life for Vietnam revolution.

the US was lost, no need for more argument. Your B52 bombers couln't defeat us and instead got shooted down. your pilots got arrested. What happen to the US's puppet south vietnam republic was only a matter of time even if US stayed. In fact, if only your war-maniac Nixon didn't become president the war wasn't tighten up and may ended in a better way. less casualties, less sufferings to both sides.
@foxvdie North Vietnam was just very very fortunate that America did not commit to total war, just look at what happened to Japan. And to blame one man for a war out of context of the cold war is to not understand the situation the fear of the day was communist expansion, and remember that Saigon only fell after the North Vietnam government violated the Paris peace accord.
@foxvdie Saw TV prog bout MIA pilots in Laos.Wives told not2even declare publicly their husband's missing.Reason= Laos bombing not sanctioned by US government.Only sanctioned by those crooks Nixon&Kissinger.The wives never got any info from US government. One had death threats& house broken into & letters stolen by CIA.
So these people get lead into a idiotic war then treated like that by their government. Seems like biggest enemy of US people is their own government more than foreign ones
@lhdkhanh2000 ---I can understand that. But US goal was to stop spread of Communism, and it was a noble goal, esp considering oppression and brutality of post-war Vietnamese and Cambodian governments. Millions were killed in WWII fighting Nazism---u cannot let aggressors/oppressors and countries that want to rule the world just take over.
General Westmoreland stated that the US didnt lose so much as they did not keep their promise to the South Vietnamese people. But yeah, the US won every battle in Vietnam. Too bad Vietnam became Communist, many Vietnamese people left afterwards, like the parents of that annoying bimbo Tila Tequila, they should send her back, and Pit Bull should be sent back to Cuba, haha.
@pobinr I totally agree with you! I have a history exam on the vietnam in a week. I am anti communist, but the US and Diem sucked big time during this war.
man we could have easily bombed that convoy coming in if we wanted to

You can't win a war of invasion and take over if most or the people are on the insurgences sided, unless you're going to bomb all the people to death. This was explained to Kennedy from the begining, and then Johnson, and then Nixon, and they all ignored it. 50 years later clearly many refuse to learn the undoubtly proven lesson.
