Wow a lot of trolls on here. They run thier mouths about these vets, well why dont you go down to the VA and say that stuff. Ya cause you would get your teeth kicked out by an old man. Big men talkin shit from thier moms basement. Worst of all the trolls are fat lazy american kids who think communism is a free ride in life.
To 2bschipman Thanx for this tribute.I was AF in Thailand1973 working on B52s and KC135s. As such,won't claim to be a Viet Nam Vet but a Viet Nam Era Vet. Didn't have to endure the hell that those in country had to.My hat's off to them.Hope life back in the World has been good to them.
i wanted in the military so badly before,but after certain actions im not so sure now...
an army is a reflection of its nations culture. look at our culture. we are letting openly gay soldiers in (there have always been but they wernt so vocal) which is great for morale...now theres too many "crackers" in the armed forces so we are gonna start recruiting skin colored and people of race...and i just sit and wonder,is this what our forefathers fought for? i still respect all soldiers saying that
i have the uptmost respect for vets of any war,but vietnam in particular becuase we did not fight to win.if you go to war you fight to win,not police the area... and if you survived? you came home to be degraded and thrown rocks at by hippies who dont know the side of life from thier bongs. thats enough tomake any serviceman bitter. then we have hanoi jane type celebs as well.today im against the afghan war but not for reasons you may think. im sick of soldiers dying becuase we tie thier hands
we always respect all who died for freedom in Vietnam war. we cried for all innocent was dead because of mines, rocket, grenades, traps was set by Vietcong who currently is the regime of Vietnam People Republic. We never forget those who was living in our side but, stab behind our back. The Vietnam war memorized wall, the stature for victims of communist, all material video clip of the ten thousands days war would never be disappear to remember all of our soldiers who fought like heroes.
@zetaro128 also your a fag. i understand more then you think. it is you that doesnt understand much. my dad, he knows what it is like, even though he didnt go into a acctual warzone. im not some cod fan who thinks that war is gona be exactly like cod. i know the difference. now go back to your hole and complain about other things.
@guevaristas you idiotic hippie pot smoking flag burning retard go live in Vietnam today try to protest their you will be arrested and tortured YOU SHOULD THANK VIETNAM VETS and all veterans who have served in the US military!!!!
I was In Country 71-73....Vietnam was a farce. It started (our involvment) with a lie....the Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened. It didn't stop the communist.The only thing that happened was the death of 58,000 American soldiers,including my older brother,and best friend, Dave.... KIA - Quang Tri province,1970.
i first heard this song on the radio when i was a teenager i liked it then but i really didn't understand it the D'J at my local radio station didn't like to play it when i would request it naw that i like the song even better and i understand haw bad the Vietnam Veterans were treated when they came home from the war it makes me mad that he didn't like playing it thank you all of our Vietnam Vets God Bless you all
my dad was in the reserve, but he was too young for korea and too old for vietnam. my granddad was in the army in ww2. hehe i want to join the rangers.
Saigon was the land of candy-assed wimps and REMFs. This song should be done again with a title such as "Still out in the Jungle" - but that doesn't fit the music. How about "Still at Khe-Sanh"?
I served 27 months in the Nam . I never saw any thing like what u post . Yes i heard of it . It's War . What do you know of War ? Nothing or you wouldn't be so self-righteous and or scared
Thank you for the tribute. I was 19 years old, married, had a new baby and was drafted by lottery number. At this time lots of units were pulling out and I did not want to go to Vietnam, but I am proud that I served my country. I did not do anything but try to survive and help others survive. I thank all the pilots who helped us. I will always cry for the brave soldiers who die in war and I will always be proud of all who serve our great country. 101st Airborne & 2/11th ACR. 71-72.
Why pick on my Lai? War is war. All wars have actrocities.You wont be able to understand it unless you have experienced war as soldiers....seeing your buddies blown to bits or crippled and by then you'l lose your moral compass.As human beings,we are fallible.Who doesnt?
well guess what those anti war protesters caused hmmmmm idk millions of civialians massacered by the nva if we stayed and fight that would of never happened then again there will always be ignorent libs out there
@Guevaristas Most Impressive! I can list sick things done by soldiers on both sides. Look at atrocious acts by 100's of Germans in WWII, shooting a baby would be humane in comparison. Should we hate all Japanese & Germans for WWII, All Whites for apartheid. The sick & demented soldiers add up to less the 1/10th of 1%. The vast majority of veterans Japanese, German, American, etc. fought with honor & integrity & should be treated with respect.... YOU MORON! Pull YOUR HEAD OUT!!!
The My Lai Massacre (Vietnamese: thảm sát Mỹ Lai [mǐˀ lɐːj]; English pronunciation: /ˌmaɪˈleɪ, ˌmaɪˈlaɪ/ ( listen),[1] Vietnamese: [mǐˀlaːj]) was the mass murder conducted by a unit of the U.S. Army on March 16, 1968 of 347–504 unarmed citizens in South Vietnam, all of whom were civilians and a majority of whom were women, children (including babies) and elderly people.
Many of the victims were sexually abused, beaten, tortured, and some of the bodies were found mutilated.
Thank You 2bs. J C Lumpkin, 1st Sig Bde attached to 9th Infantry Division, 1968/69. We lost 3 Brave Souls, 2 on friday Jun 13th 1969, 1 a few weeks later. As I understand it, you made this Video as a Thank You to Vets, not as a political statement. Thank You my Friend. Dong Tam - Go Cong - My Tho.
this is a great tribute and great song for the tribute...i had a family member there and its true i have heard sotries form what he did after he got home...most people have no idea but when you have lived with a vet you understand...and i offer the greatest of respect to the men and woman who served to keep our country free.
If the U.S. had decided to back the Vietnamese independence claims after WWII, instead of the French colonial claims, then Communists in Vietnam would never have gained any traction. That was the Truman and Eisenhower era, and racist colonial attitudes were still the norm - but it was a major blunder. If the U.S. had followed this path, the Vietnamese wouldn't have turned to the Soviets for help in the first place - meaning there'd have been no need for 50,000+ U.S. soldiers to die.
@Kletterator@Kletterator Yeah it technically the French fault because they drained Vietnam resources and take away golds that was not theirs. My ancestors even suffered from French rule. I guess if USA were to grant Independence, Vietnam would have not been communist though USA don't want Vietnam to suffer under communist rule so they supported the French.. I grateful to live here in the USA now yet i still wish Vietnam is free under communist rule.

He values dirty money and economic ties with communist Vietnam much more than democracy and human rights values. Consequently, Vietnam has waged a new crackdown on democracy activists like Father Nguyen van Ly and lawyers Nguyen van Dai and Le thi Cong Nhan, who were given unfair, harsh sentences of several years in prison for their democracy activities.
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.

@patuxai its called war, every war claims lives even innocent people its just the way it is. don't condemn the military for the actions of a few. besides the north did a lot worst.
Another time in my life, a memory from my past that for some reason i have failed to erase from my mind,thoughts, nightmares, my life period no matter how hard i try.
you send a boy to war you issue him a automatic weapon a weapon of death, he is no longer a boy no he aint a man either he has become a animal, & believe me this animal will
2. its a bit difficult to decipher friend or foe especially in gorilla warfare isnt it? most people in vietnam didnt want us there. i dont blame em and im not condeming our milatary. we shouldnt have been there to begin with too many people on both sides died.
@patuxai and our govt knew we wouldnt be successful even though we were. they did everything they could to make sure we lost vietnam to make the other party look bad. they didnt care what our guys were dying for.

this song to me is very powerful i m a canadian and i watched a program where the soldiers interviewed felt differently they felt that they had never lost a battle and that you were winning the war if america injected more troops into vietnam america would have won i wonder if any vets wish to comment
thats actually what i heard also! im not a vet but i study history a lot. idk but i also read/saw and with heavy research saw that we never really lost vietnam. thus being is that when we left, it wasnt intended for surrender nixon left with all intentions of winning and keeping the sotuh capatalist it was an accord made with the vietcong and he agreed to stop our troops from attacking them.
however its overshadowed by the fact in 1975 with barely any marines there, the north invaded the south and there being so much more of them than us, the north invaded breaking their own accords/agreement. nixon said if they did he wouldve taken immediate action but he was out by then :l. they didnt die in vain, and i feel bad for them when they came home and how they got treated :( they didnt deserve it!
looking back now. i feel that if the americans hadnt checked the communist spread throught e east things would be very different now. both ideologies were fighting for control of area resources and influence. this was ln hindsight a worthy conflict. and the blocking move halted the spread. i feel they didnt die in vain, rather media took away the unpalatable truth. the point the cong were supplied by the russians confirms their intentions. the vets need to get the recognition they deserve.
@BritishAmericanGuy The Media can used as an effective weapon...but most of the time they get people killed,we used to "lie" to the people. sometimes to bluff to the enemy. WW2 and Vietnam were good examples. in WW2 We did NOT report every single casulty and loss...propoganda? of course. Morale can be just as an effective weapon as an M16,in Vietnam reporters and movie stars sympathized with enemy and convinced the home front we were losing...disgraceful
@ianupton Thank you, Sir. I was there from July 1968 until September 1970. I have never for a minute felt ashamed of what I did there, or what the US was there for. I am a PROUD VIETNAM VETERAN, and always have been. The problem with that war was that the military let the Lame Stream Media and public opinion influence the way we fought the war.
im not a vietnam vet but i was in the military from jan 2000 to jan 2006, i have the utmost respect for the vietnam vets. you men and women deserve the utmost respect from any man or woman in the US and as a former military member I give the utmost respect to you and some day hope
Its a half a world away in a time so remote its hard to describe the feeling of being in the Big Green Machine.
Ft Holabird, Tango, Ft Meade, Ft Jackson, Ft Benning, Yongan Comp, Camp Casey, Camp Coiner, "The D" Ft Huachuca. Memories, its different now.The fatalism of "Vietnam Love song is gone, its not sung now by troop now.
Guys you know who never came back, or the ones scarred, blown up in a tunnel. Motarted 100 ft down off Da Nang. Razor wire in the river. We still remember.
Wonderful tribute to the men and women who serve in our military. My husband did 3 tours in Nam. He came home but a part of him died over there. Some wounds never heal.

I'm still surprised by the idiots that complain about "THE WARS" here. This tribute isn't saying anything about we should or should not be in any war. My intent is to thank ALL those who serve, in any war or conflict, or even humanitarian aid, Male and Female! I singled out Vietnam, because I had a draft card. I got it at the very end of the war & never got called up. But I had friends that did, & they got spit on when they returned home. This is NOT about any war, its about the warrior!
AMAN!!! I have family in the service, and a daughter who wishes to be a NAVAL FLIGHT doctor.. Hats off to all our soilders, and may they never be UNDERappericated, or taken for granted.
Remember... Freedom comes with a price, it is NEVER FREE!!
May God watch over and protect, and to those famlies of past WARS.. thank you.. thank you for your sacrifice.
IF YOU WERE NOT THERE ...SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU ONLY HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK BS BECAUSE OF ALL THE MEN & WOMEN WHO HAVE DIED TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY FREE...SO ENJOY YOUR FREEDOM ...AND KEEP YOUR DAM THOUGHTS ABOUT SOMETHING YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TO YOURSELF...
I want to go and get those vietnam pow's out of there they deserve to have a proper homecoming i want all those who are with me to reply i want to see how much support i can rally up to get this going .the government needs to take notice and know that there are people that have a passion to do the damn job. alright guys let it be known i am not afraid to to what needs to be done. Iam only 26 my dad served first boots on the ground in nam.I am an army vet so what r we waitin for lets go
Ho chi Minh, Vietnam's communist leader, is a disguting TRAITOR & MURDERER! In exchange for chinese military aids in the war with France (1945-1954), he gave up Paracel & Spratly archipelagos with large oil resources to 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.
ok . . .to people who call our soldiers baby killers- ur just idiots. to you people who say the VC won- you're also dumb and not a true American. People forget that our country elects the people who decide to go to war. our soldiers to not get to decide who they go to war with. it's not right to protest the soldier who fought for us and call them baby killers when we go to war, we all fight under one code- to protect our brothers in arms
No you did not "try to stop communism". You supported the French colonists in the First Indochina War, blocked the Nam's free election, support Khmer Rouge's genocide... All you did were to export BS and feed the weapon companies.
such a unprepared war the usa fought this war was a gorilla warfare war cause the us maines didnt know who the enemy was thats why we lost this war my father was a us marine 1966 -68 in this war he is still alive today to tell me all this 61 years old he has earned 3 purple hearts a gernade exploded not to far away from him fragments went straight into his back but was able to run back to the uss
Vietnam's national values are lying, cheating and stealing. They don't seem to give a damn about themselves in the way they behave, so it makes it hard to give a damn about them! If it's a soldier asking questions or a tourist shopping, you know a Vietnamese is lying when his lips are moving. I respect the VETS so much as they took fire from ALL sides, VC, regular army, the sneaky lying farmer, shop keeper, the local girl lying for money, etc. And then their own damn government and citizens.
Sgtbaker101st - I submit that being 15 years old and from the United Kingdom you have very little add to a person's experience during and after Vietnam. The UK has excellent soldiers who have returned from war thousands of miles from home, pose your question to them. A Btry 1st/39th FA, XXIV Corp, Quang Tri, Vietnam 1970-71.
thank you foer the kind words it does mean alot even after all these years, and thanks to ur uncle for his svc. i served 2 tours in the shit, had many many conftontations with chalie and with the nva. i lost alot of good friends over there and still think of them time again. my outfit 2/3 echo fought in the hill fights, 861&881. some of shitheads should read up on those campaigns and learn something abt the fighting men of this country. rjca1 usmc
Thanks for all you & your friends went through! 2 other thoughts come to mind, 1st the "2 tours in the CRAP" just isn't strong enough. HELL isn't strong enough, I hope all vets go to heaven, because they already did time in HELL! 2nd, ALL gave some, but some gave ALL, and I'm very grateful for your sacrifice. Words are to weak to express my thanks, that's why I did this little tribute, thanks again rjca1 usmc SIMPER FI !!!!!!!!!!!!!
to the person who states the north viets(aka black pajama monkeys) won all the battles, please name one? as far as we winning the war,thats a grey area, because we were ordered to pull out. the poitians pulled the strings, but we foughtt the battles in real time. the nva were good fighters at times but had no real leadership. they were bonzai attackers. the blood, the screams of the wounded and dying were very real. we were never defeated by any opposing force in any battle, thats a fact. rjca1
After the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, the communist authority in Vietnam switched to its big brother Red China, a new leader of a few remaining communist nations including China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba, for China's backup to remain in power in Vietnam. There are ten divisions of more than 100,000 Chinese troops disguised as mine workers in the central highlands, who will repeat another Tiananmen Square massacre in case Vietnamese revolt against the communist regime.
So true, I am a disabled Nam vet and I suffer from chronic post traumatic stress disorder. I can appreciate the kind words I read above. Some can not understand why, but only we can tell the story. I yet keep in contact with Brock Sloan, Terry Bohlinger, Ron Foreman, Fred Richards, whom I fought with during my tour. We all are suffering, just keep up in your prayers...Thanks a Million...
my grandfather was a marine in vietnam. what bracnh were u in paullbaldwin3770? my grandfather also won the metal of valor and im joining the military after i graduate from college
viet cong(usa enemy in war) were always goin 2 win .. dey were used 2 jungle terrain .. built tunnels underground and layed traps ... were backed by the ruskies ... pointless deaths ... but viet cong did well ...
Kennedy started it, LBJ expanded it now. Thanks democrats, 58,000 of the best Americans dead and 5X that crippled. Exactly why is Kennedy supposed to be so great again? At least the muslims attacked us. 67-68 Vung Tau Cantho 69th engineers HQ co.
i served with the marines in nam 1967.i was 19yrs old and knew much about nothing, so i did what i thought was right. if we had fought the war the way war is supposed to be fought (no holds bar) we would have won it long before we got out and saved alot of lives. however if the u.s. did actually win in nam, what the hell would we have won, other than bragging rights. i am proud to have served my country in an unpopular war to most, but in the marines as in all the branches we followed orders jc
my uncle Gary came back from Vietnam to the bay area California and stayed at our house for a year after, I respect every man who went there and did what he thought was right! If ya ask me fighting communism is always right! guy spit on my uncle at the airport! he kicked his ass kicked him under a car! the hippy was cowering under a car while my uncle Gary told him what he thought about him! one of my fondest memories
From unscripted CIA documents, America under the Kennedy administration orchestrated a military coup to overthrow and murder President Diem of South Vietnam government, who strongly opposed U.S. troops' presence in Vietnam because it would be used as a propaganda by communists to lure more Vietnamese to fight against South Vietnam and America; Ho chi Minh, communist leader of North Vietnam, also celebrated this coup and said, "We will win this war; I cannot believe Americans are so stupid."
vietnam wasnt a war we never declared war it was a police act my dad fought in vietnam and when he got home no body gave a shit there was no big perades or nothing like that just like this war isnt a war its the same thing so if u think about it we still have never lost a war
Over 50,000 soldiers died in Vietnam, ask their families if its a war. 40,000 died in the "Korean Conflict" When thousands die, & fighting goes on 3, 4, 5, years & more it's a war. Don't ask a politician THEY DON'T KNOW CRAP!!! Ask the guy in uniform that just had his friends head blown off, or the soldier that is trying to find his buddies legs that just got blown off & is trying to stuff his guts back into whats left of his body to keep him alive. Ask them if its war.
I'm sure he's real proud of defending a country producing youth who can't spell the word "parade" when bitching that there wasn't one for something they weren't even alive for.
Having served our country for 28 yrs & still going, much has changed. Internet, cell phones, etc. God bless all our vets, passed away, alive and the ones serving now. I can't imagine a world without the fighting men and woman of the United States. I know I shouldn't lower myself to this level but I will do it once, I know this will spur some useless comments but from assholes but until you have REALLY served the country that lets you be a DB, scrape the mud from my boots.
My uncle did three tours with the Marines in 'nam, and dad did one with the army... Now my cousins's kid is doing a tour in Afganistan... God bless our troops, and get them the hell out of there!
i love this song and being as my grandfather was there and never made it home thiks song has huge meanign to me...if CDB had never made it...many would not really understand.
here's an idea how about everybody just stop this bullshit debating about if we should've been there or not or what kind of war it was or if it was right or wrong and just pay tribute to the men and women that gave their lives during this dark time, but yet this is youtube and that gives every coward the right to speak their mind even though they would never or will ever go through what those soliders did...
i may not have been there but my roomate was and the stories he has told me make me really think about things y'all and i can say this much he has my respect and so do each and every one of the vets from this day of fate for this conutry.
ac75904 seems to be a little naive.....dont belief everything they tell you. Hogger is closer to the truth i think. its all about money. the iraq and afghanistan war is very clearly and proven war for money. so open up your eyes ac75904. everything you hear and see on television and radio and all other advertising is to brainwash you and direct you to a surten way other people want you to go. we are sheep. best thing to do is throw away your telly and computer.
DON'T "throw away your telly and computer" NO information is worse than even a little information, even poor or misinformation is better than nothing. Also I don't care what political party you side with go back and look Old Bush, Clinton, Baby Bush, O'bama. There decisions are based on money and or power.
And as I have said before, this isn't about politics, it's a tribute to the men and women who sacrificed for the decisions our politicians made. Thanks again to all those BRAVE men & women!
yes sir I hope everyone read your comment the hell with all politics / pay your respect to all who served and quit bitchin about the government they won't change. it about all who give/gave his or her service to this great nation and all those who don't like and protest go the hell to north korea they love you stupid asses
that's what they want you to think... we were there for money. without vietnam, alot of defense people and alot of other "war" people would have been bankrupt. they needed that war. kennedy was going to pull all the troops by the end of 1965, after his death, johnson reversed that decision.
Hogger, I run across you again. Dead on, my friend. It was the birth of the Military Industrial Complex. Dupont, Boeing, Remington, Hughes all raked in the dough while turning our finest patriots into little more than mercenaries. You amaze me, my friend. So young, and yet so much more aware than the average voting American. Where do you get your knowledge?
I get a tear in my eat just seeing the sacrifices our troops put through in the vietnam war. God Bless all teh troops that died, wish i can wish all the 58,000 pluse americans that perished to be alive again!!!
i grew up during the nam war. i never understood why the vietnam vets were treated like shit, but yet we treat the iraq soliders with respect?! i'm lost about this!
I know It's because those who treated the nam vets like shit those were same people who's kids and grandkids are overthere so that is what happend my dad was a nam vet I went in to do my duty and make my sacrificies
yea bro its all the same war. not knowing who your enemy is or where your going to be attacked from. one minute your say high a the people and that night there shooting rpgs at you.
Iraqi vets were being treated just the same as Vietnam vets - didn't you see the Walther Reed hospital images? How does that differ from the scene in, say, Fourth of July? How about some college education and job guarantees, instead of empty rhetoric?
that was a different era then, I too, when coming back from Nam was called baby killer and so on. I even had to go to a civilian court for cracking a hippie over the head for hitting me with one of their signs. I tried to take his head off. Since the Nam war, the Pentagon has learned a lot with the Iraq War troops. These are our young kids fighting today. We do not feel bad about the two distinctions, we give all support to our now troops, they need our help. They too suffer from this war
damn.....no tribute to the actual south vietnamese huh?

we always respect all who died for freedom in Vietnam war. we cried for all innocent was dead because of mines, rocket, grenades, traps was set by Vietcong who currently is the regime of Vietnam People Republic. We never forget those who was living in our side but, stab behind our back. The Vietnam war memorized wall, the stature for victims of communist, all material video clip of the ten thousands days war would never be disappear to remember all of our soldiers who fought like heroes.

The My Lai Massacre (Vietnamese: thảm sát Mỹ Lai [mǐˀ lɐːj]; English pronunciation: /ˌmaɪˈleɪ, ˌmaɪˈlaɪ/ ( listen),[1] Vietnamese: [mǐˀlaːj]) was the mass murder conducted by a unit of the U.S. Army on March 16, 1968 of 347–504 unarmed citizens in South Vietnam, all of whom were civilians and a majority of whom were women, children (including babies) and elderly people.
Many of the victims were sexually abused, beaten, tortured, and some of the bodies were found mutilated.

If the U.S. had decided to back the Vietnamese independence claims after WWII, instead of the French colonial claims, then Communists in Vietnam would never have gained any traction. That was the Truman and Eisenhower era, and racist colonial attitudes were still the norm - but it was a major blunder. If the U.S. had followed this path, the Vietnamese wouldn't have turned to the Soviets for help in the first place - meaning there'd have been no need for 50,000+ U.S. soldiers to die.

@Kletterator @Kletterator Yeah it technically the French fault because they drained Vietnam resources and take away golds that was not theirs. My ancestors even suffered from French rule. I guess if USA were to grant Independence, Vietnam would have not been communist though USA don't want Vietnam to suffer under communist rule so they supported the French.. I grateful to live here in the USA now yet i still wish Vietnam is free under communist rule.

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.

looking back now. i feel that if the americans hadnt checked the communist spread throught e east things would be very different now. both ideologies were fighting for control of area resources and influence. this was ln hindsight a worthy conflict. and the blocking move halted the spread. i feel they didnt die in vain, rather media took away the unpalatable truth. the point the cong were supplied by the russians confirms their intentions. the vets need to get the recognition they deserve.

After the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991, the communist authority in Vietnam switched to its big brother Red China, a new leader of a few remaining communist nations including China, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Cuba, for China's backup to remain in power in Vietnam. There are ten divisions of more than 100,000 Chinese troops disguised as mine workers in the central highlands, who will repeat another Tiananmen Square massacre in case Vietnamese revolt against the communist regime.

Don't ask a politician THEY DON'T KNOW CRAP!!!

Having served our country for 28 yrs & still going, much has changed. Internet, cell phones, etc. God bless all our vets, passed away, alive and the ones serving now. I can't imagine a world without the fighting men and woman of the United States. I know I shouldn't lower myself to this level but I will do it once, I know this will spur some useless comments but from assholes but until you have REALLY served the country that lets you be a DB, scrape the mud from my boots.

here's an idea how about everybody just stop this bullshit debating about if we should've been there or not or what kind of war it was or if it was right or wrong and just pay tribute to the men and women that gave their lives during this dark time, but yet this is youtube and that gives every coward the right to speak their mind even though they would never or will ever go through what those soliders did...

ac75904 seems to be a little naive.....dont belief everything they tell you. Hogger is closer to the truth i think. its all about money. the iraq and afghanistan war is very clearly and proven war for money. so open up your eyes ac75904. everything you hear and see on television and radio and all other advertising is to brainwash you and direct you to a surten way other people want you to go. we are sheep. best thing to do is throw away your telly and computer.

DON'T "throw away your telly and computer" NO information is worse than even a little information, even poor or misinformation is better than nothing. Also I don't care what political party you side with go back and look Old Bush, Clinton, Baby Bush, O'bama. There decisions are based on money and or power.
And as I have said before, this isn't about politics, it's a tribute to the men and women who sacrificed for the decisions our politicians made. Thanks again to all those BRAVE men & women!

that's what they want you to think... we were there for money. without vietnam, alot of defense people and alot of other "war" people would have been bankrupt. they needed that war. kennedy was going to pull all the troops by the end of 1965, after his death, johnson reversed that decision.

Hogger, I run across you again. Dead on, my friend. It was the birth of the Military Industrial Complex. Dupont, Boeing, Remington, Hughes all raked in the dough while turning our finest patriots into little more than mercenaries. You amaze me, my friend. So young, and yet so much more aware than the average voting American. Where do you get your knowledge?

i grew up during the nam war. i never understood why the vietnam vets were treated like shit, but yet we treat the iraq soliders with respect?! i'm lost about this!

Iraqi vets were being treated just the same as Vietnam vets - didn't you see the Walther Reed hospital images? How does that differ from the scene in, say, Fourth of July? How about some college education and job guarantees, instead of empty rhetoric?

that was a different era then, I too, when coming back from Nam was called baby killer and so on. I even had to go to a civilian court for cracking a hippie over the head for hitting me with one of their signs. I tried to take his head off. Since the Nam war, the Pentagon has learned a lot with the Iraq War troops. These are our young kids fighting today. We do not feel bad about the two distinctions, we give all support to our now troops, they need our help. They too suffer from this war
