[bosphotoman2a]

@saintsman2010 Thanks It is the video I am most proud of. I will try and make one like this again

[tecumseh1175]

As a Marine who served in the war on terror,I want to thank Vietnam vets in paticular.My father served in Vietnam as a Marine and told me how he was treated when you came home.America is divided much in the same way as it was with Vietnam.The big difference is we didnt have to endure the same disrespect.The reason why,is because of vietnam vets.They made sure it wouldnt happen to us.So from the bottom of our hearts thanks and we love you. Beside our buddies,we didnt want to let you vets down.

Let's also not forget the US Army's 7th and 9th Cavalry in Hue and 7th Cav spearheading the attack in 2nd battle of Fallujah followed by Marines.

[FrankSellsJax]

This was very moving. I am amazed at the similarity of action in combat. I kept track of who was who by watching the shape of the helmets and the weapons used. "Same as it ever was" is right on. Two different generations but the same breed. The Marines of this generation are as superb as any that came before them.

[Burpgas]

[Burpgas]

@jdggearhead During our convo yesturday, it became painfully obvious who I was talking to. Next you're going to threaten me with legal action if I continue, right? Let me guess, you have your" top notch lawyer" and will sue me for "libel". See, I know you all to well you sick freak!!!!

[Burpgas]

@jdggearhead I'm not a lib and you are a disgusting pile of human trash and you need to be locked up for your actions.

[HopeForPeaceNow]

Beautiful. The smell of death for profit.

SO American.

I;m proud to be free to invade, occupy and promote our power.

"It is for the freedom I have set you free to invade" Jesus was down on this, man!

[bikepeddlar6]

1:49 those are soldiers of the first infantry division. US Army.

[bosphotoman2a]

@bikepeddlar6 Some of the Fallujah ones may be Army but most are Marines, the Hue clips are all Marines

[tecumseh1175]

@bikepeddlar6 The 1st ID had a cavalry and infantry battalion attached to a Marine RCT.

[Simes158]

This is a class piece of work - luvin' it!

[kingcompany]

Beautifully made. Thank you for making this tribute and thank you for serving. All who serve in wars past, present and future are heroes.

[danviola47]

Chesty Puller,every marine knows you he was................

[crayj46]

dmellow45, i served in vietnam from august 65 to feb 68. seems i have more respect for you than you do for yourself. we love you marines, we are only your older brothers...and we're jealous, you had better stuff than we did LOL

[Gabriel7252]

[bender8909]

[Herbymac0811]

Treu'er word's were never spoken .

[Matias268]

samper fi

[ALBANO2684]

(continued) a handful of times did the enemy actually try and fight us. Mostly its hit and runs, most kills against us are with ied's. I didnt mind too much not getting shot at, but over there as an infantry grunt I was bored to tears 98% of the time.

[ALBANO2684]

I was a former Marine grunt myself in 2nd LAR. Server 2 combat deployments as a 0311. From the places I was sent (Ar Rutbah) I can tell you that vietnam vets had it worse. The enemy in Iraq is typically untrained and unworthy. There army before it disolved was considered a 3rd rate army. Yes body armor and training in urban warfare has prevented many deaths, the war in Iraq still pales in comparison to vietnam where the enemy was motivated and well-trained. two combat deployments and only

[webbster81]

lotusblack80! listen fucker, yes there are people who tell some bs stories of there deployment, BUT THEY STILL DEPLOYED WHICH IS MORE THAN MOST AMERICANS CAN SAY! so you saying ehhh Fuck you bitch,

[lotusblack80]

just out of curiousity, I was wondering how many Vietnam Vets I have met, actually been in combat ? I mean surely not all of them.

Its the same with our times. I would say atleast half if not fewer has been in actual combat. Not to say everyone and their grandmother knows someone who tells the most rediculous Iraq warstories. I have met some real Vietnam combat vets and those guys have my undying respect. THE REST, I SAY EHHH

I was told by a V-Vet that they used to call them R.E.M.F's

[bosphotoman2a]

In I Corp which is the northern part of South Vietnam all bases were attacked and had to be defended. The Infantry went on missions and given a "combat action ribbion" this meant you went out on patrol and engaged the enemy. I would say most Vietnam Vets who were not in the infantry did come under attack. In Iraq I am sure it is the same way, your are either in the infantry, or you are in a support role Most transport people are at great risk from IED's.. IED=70% casualties

[lotusblack80]

To be completely honest... I feel deeply compelled to say that OIF and OEF vets have absolutely NO right to be even on the same level as Vietnam Vets. Those guys were dropping like flys in the jungle against atleast a worthy adversary.

I have done my fair share of foot and mobile patrols and fighting through the cities and sand in early 2004-05-06-07. vietnam vets went through a tougher time/ by far in my opinion.

[Tk3997]

That is very, very debatable while the death rate is lower in Iraq and Afghanistan is lower the causality rate is still quite high, into the tens of thousands wounded. Medical advances and better gear (mainly body armor which has probably saved thousands of men) has reduced the death toll, but the danger is still very, very real.

It's true that by and large the insurgents are not as skilled or organized as the Veit Kong or NVA, but they're still plenty dangerous in there own ways.

[PrivateJoker17]

@lotusblack80 If they were infantrymen they would have been in combat, almost every one of them, whether they saw the enemy or not, they would have seen some combat and if they were in Vietnam at all during 1966-1969 they almost certainly would have seen some combat as well.

[dmellow45]

i never knew we were in the same class as vietnam vets

[bosphotoman2a]

@dmellow45 We all served our country. Most Vietnam vets have great respect for the sacrifice our troops make today. Most of us went to Vietnam once. Today many of our troops go two, three or more times.You are in the dsame class as all veterans who went far from and into a hostile enviorment

[dmellow45]

i have the utmost respect for rvn vets

[TheSThomas]

@dmellow45 if you serve you're country it doesn't matter where . One bullet, one IED, one piece of shrapnel will kill you. All vets are in the same catagory. And we should all be proud.

[TheloniusJ]

Great video for great warriors.

Those who criticize Marines will never understand why they are special and will likely never do anything in life worthy of remembering.

Semper Fi, Devil Dogs.

[Herbymac0811]

Two difrent war's from two difrent times in history .

The Faces change but the names on the uniforms are alway's the same.

I remember the bad, and I remember the good , I remember their names and their faces , God help me if I ever forget them . We were father's, son's, brother's and husbend's, some of us came home, some of us didn't . Same corps as it ever was ???

Your damn right it is !

''ALLWAY'S FAITHFULL''

ALLWAY'S HAVE BEEN

ALLWAY'S WILL BE

SEMPER FI !!!

Come home safe .

[wutancla]

[saintsman2010]

hahaha wutancla you are funny

now shut up and crawl back into your hole

[phase1775]

Man, you're a real peice of shit aren't you?

[elginmostwanted]

one of the best videos ever

[bosphotoman2a]

Thanks for the complement on my video. I am a Vietnam Vet and just wanted to show how things for grunts are the same. Both battles were difficult, in the case of Hue it was one of the few Urban house to house battles of that war. In Iraq there have been many. fallujah probably the toughest

[jackbelias]

This is one of the best videos on youtube. You did an outstanding job of honoring the Marine Corps and those who served within it.

Have you attempted to give it to the corps? It would make a great recruitment video.

I served in the USMC, but I went with the National Guard for re enlistment. The Army sends me on more deployments and more schools, an offer I couldnt refuse.

[THEPaintballKidd]

@bosphotoman2a hey were you allowed to pick up AKs and use them in vietnam

[irishlight42]

@bosphotoman2a Also, sometimes it's the "smaller" battles lesser known to most Americans which are the most devastating for those there. Hue and Fallujah got a lot of press, with good reason, and the 3/5 Marines lost a lot of good men in both fights. In their recent tour in Afghanistan, they had 25 KIA and about 200 WIA (many losing limbs to mines and IEDs) fighting in the smaller town of Sangin. It didn't get as much press though as Marjah.

[svtmanny]

Great video!! Semper fi devildogs!!!
