What a krop of shit. We were winning when I was there. This is utter bullshit. As a Marine Sniper in the conflict, I can honestly say that when our country deserted the American service men and the polititians followed, tht was the beginning of the end for all of our efforts. Ray acts like these zipperhead bastards walked on water. He does not speak of the Communist murders. I have alway admired Ray's ability as well as his expert kraft, but after this shit, he can kiss my Marine Corp ass.
@SuperWestie100 no, no country ever fights a war by themselves ever, unless its small skirmishes, or civil wars. One way or another, another country is providing support.
The gulf of tonkin incident, false flag attack by the americans on their own ships, admitted is what caused them to invade vietnam the same as 9/11 has been used for the middle east.
I am an American, so I must sy, please stopm insulting us for the example of a few. Every country has its idiots, we are not all rednecks. The reason we lost Vietnam was because the war did not have the support of the people, like Sun Tzu said was necessary. Everyone shutup, enjoy this great series, and stop starting political arguements on every video.
This series is special in ways besides just outdoor survival. It's extremely rare for a white male produced media to state conflicts between whites and non whites in a factual and non bias manner.
Ray Mears has gained my respect and a sense of trust, especially so when he so delicately inserted the phrase containing "American invaders" rather then American peace keepers as is so ubiquitous in American and British media.
ok england and the rest of the world... america lost because the hippies prophaganda if it wernt for those idiots we would of wonaltho it would of been bloody!
@punkgabe - what a moronic, unsubstanciated bunch of redneck tripe. The US lost because the military was incompetent, thinking they could fight a conventional war in the jungle. Team America has lost every war since WWII and it will continue to lose because rednecks can't really fight... or spell.
@LiFetommi You base that statement on what exactly? You've never heard of a recon flight? Captain Chuck Klusmann was flying with VFP-63, The Eyes of The Fleet, a recon squadron. He was flying an RF-8, not a bomber by any stretch of the imagination. Since the RF-8 he was flying was unarmed, I doubt he was getting ready to bomb anyone.
@Snipe4261 Actually the VC used a lot of M1s and other American weapons provided to them during WW2 when they were allies fighting the Japanese. They also captured large numbers when the French were defeated, since the French also used large numbers of American weapons.
It's rather annoying that he talks about the vietcong as if they were competent fighters. America lost the war because of politics, not because they lost the battles. They had a kill ratio of about 20:1, so the vietcong were literally getting slaughtered. I don't see why he praises a group of people who died like flies.
@ChudFapper you have no respect for the vietcong. because oure bombs could kill them and their innocent civilians you think it maKES the us better? the vietcong culture is a pure and beautiful cultrure unlike the american culture which is the LACK of culture
I have to admit, whether teaching bushcraft, survival techniques, or passing on valuable history lessons, Ray always delivers the goods with a fair amount of style and professionalism. I'm never short of learning something new every time.
I actually cannot believe they could bomb like that, horrific.

Yes, the Communist won and took over South Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Vietnam, and Laos is still under Communists rule to this day.
