Vietnam: 1964-1975

[CaiLuongMienNam]

30/04/1975 là ngày mà thanh niên miền Nan kô còn giặc Mỹ bắt lính, cưỡng bách quân dịch, bắt đi làm tay sai, nô lệ, bị Mỹ đưa ra làm human shield, làm bia thịt đỡ đạn chết thay chết thế cho 60 vạn quân Mỹ xâm lược nước Nam. Vì vậy đây đúng là ngày vui của toàn dân tộc, bao gồm cả những người lính ngụy cũ. Đây là ngày vui của lính ngụy nào còn lương tâm con người, còn ít nhiều tinh thần VN, tâm hồn dân tộc, còn nhớ mình là con rồng cháu tiên.

[yeshuahfullofit]

Kennedy was in the process of withdrawing troops from Vietnam when he was murdered. Johnson lied in the 'Gulf of Tonkin Resolution'. It is admitted as a lie by the US Government. Anyone can google, 'gulf of tonkin lie'. No American should have to die for a lie.

dear my friends, recently I've found a good documentary film named "Hearts and Minds", directed by Peter David in 1974. It won Oscar in 1975 in documentary. let's watch it and have fun!

[JOSUE5401]

exelent video! well done!

[artillero130]

La nacion que hiso esto es la nacion que habla hoy en dia del terrorismo ? que h,d p son

[bluestream1977]

I wonder if there will be also evacuations of Kabul and Baghdad similar to 1975 Fall of Saigon

[50poiuyt]

@bluestream1977 I bet Kabul gov.collapses for 2 day

[hemet92544]

B52s!!! CARPET BOMBING!!!

[wilman210]

WOW STILL IS AN EPIC WAR.

[treesloth16]

Fuck those commies. They preach the 'liberation of the people,' yet their people are completely oppressed. Their peon followers were brainwashed and tricked into dying for a cause that never existed. When a government tells you to die/sacrifice so they can become more powerful, beware.

Obama has taken this strategy and is trying to do this to America. 'Vote for me and I'll spend money on you and your organizations! Make me powerful and you'll get everything you desire!

[masterfastblast]

50poiuyt why do you bother to whine on all these boards. The Vietnam war ended in 1984. The Vietnamese starved to death for 20 years after the war attempting to live under communist economy, then they returned to a capitalist economy, so what was the war all about now that capitalism is your cause celeb? 5 million Vietnamese died just in the war with America between 1965-72 another 5 million died before that. Now you live under Chinese domination? Go figure, now wonder you act like a loser.

[50poiuyt]

@masterfastblast We reached our goal: Independent and united Vietnam.We have not reason to whine.Yanks and their lackeys are losers.That's why some of them whine on the net about some victory like insanes.Its very absurd.I'm here to show your lie nad hypocrisy.That's all.

[pedrolegion]

@50poiuyt FOR VC CRIMINAL WAR 50POIUYT: Communist criminal, defends the communist military dictatorship of the Vietnam. Either man in the life and goes to defend the human rights and the democracy in the Vietnam. You and Pol Pot of Cambodia are murderous cowards, who live in the luxury and the people of the Vietnam lives in the Misery and the dictatorship.

DEMOCRACY FOR THE VIETNAM

SAT CONG

FREEDOM VIETNAM - 50POIUYT IS CRIMINAL WAR KHMER ROUGE

[zzzpqd]

@50poiuyt Nobody has to lie, we just had different goals during the war, we were fighting Soviet ambitions, you were serving Soviet ambitions that is why we slaughtered you, if you won then you would not be on these boards whinning you would be satisfied with the results. Vietnam is still a poisoned shithole, full of poverty, 13 million handicapped, 350,000 more born every year. You should be busy with your countries many problems rather than be on the internet whinning.

[50poiuyt]

@zzzpqd You weren't first superpower that was defeated by Vietnamese,moron.Before you China,Mongolia had to escape from Vietnam as lossers many times.You weren't alon.

[emilieminh]

@masterfastblast gotta agree with you word for word

[Rico8458]

great music

[50poiuyt]

Finaly We won.our enemy lost

[lechinhluan]

That was the time communists believed in strategy of Third International: communists would take the power in third world nations to cut off sources of raw materials, markets from capitalist countries to weaken them. Then capitalist countries including USA would be defeated by the Soviet bloc

[VIETNAMSAIGON75]

" ... ending a conflict is not so simple , not just calling it off and comming home.

Because the price for that kind of peace could be

a thousand years of darkness for generation's Viet Nam borned ..."

(Ronald Reagan)

[50poiuyt]

Mồm miệng các tổng thống Mỹ cũng giống như lỗ đít ngan ,bạ đâu bậy đấy.

[dover357]

LBJ and McNamara micro managed the war. That was the problem. They should have let the people that were over there run things. They should have stayed out of it.

[mrmsrv]

damn good video....

[yousefamar]

The music is so out of place. x3 I mean c'mon, beach boys?

[mauitag]

This is from the documentary The Fog of War

[streetgangtm]

4:28 behold the mighty Thompson

[xxchinookxx]

LBJ was just like a BITCH that couldn't decide to shit or get off he pot. If you want to start a war, fight to win, not to pussy foot around like the Johnson administration. The only way to defeat an enemy like Vietnam is to BOMB the living shit out of them. Bombing the dams, refineries, shipping ports and bridges would starve the enemy to surrender.

[justinbig9]

I agree with you chinook except for one thing. If i'm going to war, i wont limit myself to just bombing the things you said, i'm willing to let the bombs fall where they may!

[50poiuyt]

Now you have Aganistan .Bomb them and you have victory!Do not escape from his country ,how you escaped from Vietnam.

[vrghiks]

I agree with you,but LBJ was just a puppet that couldn't call the shots.

Someone else was in charge,not Johnson.

[loyaldude10]

They did bomb the shit out of them. But to really win a war, you have to win it on the ground.

[attie3]

i want to know to all the anti war protesters doing the Vietnam war why in the hell did no one in the usa say anything when north Vietnam came down mass killings of everybody who help the usa. thay also put people in to reeducation camps no one did not say a damn word about that i had friends and family that was send to reeducation i see when it comes to the anti war protesters lift-wing thay also dont think about no one but them selfs just like the right-wing sometimes you amricans can be bs.

[MasterAceman123456]

Beach Boys? ok..........lol

[pelonkill23]

Funny how many people dont realize that the way the war started was completely false. Supposedly vietnamese boats allegedly attacked 2 u.s destroyers, sparking the whole war. Later on Lyndon Johnson confessed saying the gulf of tonkin incident was a "mistake". For the record this isnt the only time the u.s was the "victim" in another country's attack (WWI,WWII) go to google video and search zeitgeist the movie to find out the truth

[lolprsat]

this song sucks for the video, im sorry

[razlika]

If america would invade my country i would try to kill as many american soldiers as i can. I would do everything for my freedom.

[DJONES6734]

your house would get bombed immediately

[ters2256]

the rolling stones music was the appropriate theme for the vietnam war..i don't know why but every time i heard it i remember vietnam

[pete5668]

when i think of vietnam I hear the Doors.

[chajda8P]

first song is The Beach Boys - I Get Around

[LokiG36]

What's the first song?

[shillyshallyz]

Read Bob Greene's "Homecoming":

After losing the war, having got their asses kicked out of Vietnam, the US Vets returned to the USA to be spat at, on their faces and on their uniforms. Their fellow citizens greeted them with:

- Welcome home, you baby killers, you gang of rapists, murderers!

./.

[penquinbum]

I was spat upon and called a baby killer. It was a fairly common experience. this lasted until about 1980, long after the end of the war and I was happily working on civvy street. I can't figure out why a friend of mine who was a navy nurse in Vietnam got the same treatment. She saved American lives (and some VN as well) but to the USA haters she too was a baby killer. I was a pilot and that really got them going. Apparently we targeted hospitals and orphanges according to our countrymen.

[TheBookWorm1718]

@penquinbum You'll have to excuse me because my history classes never touched much on Vietnam, but I could never figure out why the soldiers were the ones taking heat for the war upon returning home when they weren't the ones who started it. Seems to me it's always some politician who'll never see a day of combat himself that starts the wars, but nobody thinks to get mad at them. Instead they blame the boys whose only choice was join or go to jail and be labeled a traitor to the country.

[penquinbum]

@TheBookWorm1718 HI Bookworm: My comments were made two years ago..an old thread! I returned home in late '71. By that time the war was extremely unpopular even as we were winding it down and we were convenient targets for anyone who wanted to vent against government, the 'military -industrial complex' and anything else they were opposed to. The lefties opposed the war and felt it ok to abuse a vet. It was as if wearing a military uniform made us the enemy. Our vets now get much more respect.

[SwampFox82nd]

I was most fortunate not to have served in Vietnam; my tour of duty was 1960-63 with the 82nd Airborne Division. We had the Cuban Crises, the formation of the Contras (Columbia, South America), and the formation of the infamous group known only as the SOA, School Of Americas. But, even I knew back in 1962-63 that the vary same "patriotic" group lied to all Americans about the Bay of Tonka Resolution in 1964. The very same clowns that lied about Saddam Hussein's "WMD."

Airborne All The Way

[maverick843]

19-F-hottie here. I'm just saying that girls LOVE this vid. i

I think the yank SCUM are angry because the vietnamese people sent them packing just like the Iraqi people will do.

[finchiestiffler79]

absolutely right. but in iraq they may have the option to come home in their bodybags.

[Jamietran123]

Yeah the i said it might happen just the same again, only i want them to win in iraq. but im fair chuffed they got shit beat in vietnam.

[IngaMarr]

Shite, you U.S. folks sure is sensitive!

[lylboicuong1]

i hate u us im viet ND my mom said thats how mi f=dady died u fuking hoe us i hate u

[iliketheairforce]

maybe you shouldent fire torpedos at the USS turner joy and the maddox and killed 47 crewmen

[bigjelmapro]

Although this response is old, I would like to inform you that there weren't any casualties to speak of on the US side nor any confirmed launching of torpedoes at the USS Turner Joy or USS Maddox.

I'm not the one to go along with conspiracy theories here, so don't get me wrong and put me in the boat with those loonies, but its a given fact with all the CIA/NSA reports since that time that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was nothing more than a precursor for the US to invade Communist N. Vietnamese.

[1killertomato]

IN FACT! Sec Def McNamara later confirmed that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was blown out of proportion and used as a RUSE to attack the No Vietnamese.

[sweetendeh]

Is there somewhere where i can download this video? I want to keep it forever. Anyone know? Thank you!

[bahamut840]

yeah add it to ur playlist next to the video Sweetendeh

[georgekrejci]

I was there in 1966-68 and this music brought me back there again.

[tomik2410]

Greetings! You survived the most weird and most dangerous war in 20th century...you know it...you sweat it out...

Btw don't you have forefathers in the czech republic? Krejci is czech surname...

[rainydog]

Great pictorial history. It's a keeper. Commentary is excellent too. I'll make me a copy of this for me. This is a gem of a production. Thanks for the post.

[bahamut840]

aiya，有什么好吵的？就是些政客的把戏。说真的台湾人，这些­不是我们这些老百姓左右得了的。

政客是政客，台湾政客还不是要跳海？？那个真搞笑

明白了吧~~就那么回事。说到底骂来骂去，最后做决定的也不是我­们这些口水人士。

那还吵什么？？

[bahamut840]

Great Video, Btw if a country attacked U.S.A. Ever, China and other countrys would help U.S.A. Their not helping America in The war now, because U.S.A. kinda started it back up.. Oh and U.S.A. the best country in the world!!! stongest military in the world to! Vietnam try to bomb us again and see what happens o.O

[bingofob]

wow ur a fucking dumbass,china would never help u.s in military shits and other stufff/dats why they're puttin lead in littlee kid's toy and they can die,and vietnam can't bomb u.s becaause vietnam can't afford to build bombs.

[slickskillet123]

[SpisadKoTunga]

wow, racist

[slickskillet123]

punk sissy faggot cocksucker swedish people all.

[slickskillet123]

hey gay-boy go bother someone who gives a shit

[trungthanh78]

Excellent! Thanks a lot for the video.

[trungthanh78]

But we are victims of our geo-political advantages: more than 3000 km of sea borders along the China Sea. So any country who can control Vietnam, will be able to control the China Sea - the second most used sea lane in the world, and one of the most promising oil and natural gas reserves.

So for two thousand years, we were invaded by the Chinese, the Mongolian, the Thais, the Cambodian, the French, the Japanese, the Khmer Rouge and you the American!

[DrCruel]

Elections? Vietnam invaded Cambodia only three years after they conquered the south. They put a puppet leader in charge named Hun Sen - he was dictator until a few years ago. They took over Laos too, and killed everyone who opposed them, slaughtered the Hmong... in 1998 they absorbed the Khmer Rouge into their ranks.

The big difference between modern socialists and the German national socialists is that modern Leftists are better liars.

[slickskillet123]

fuck you punk.we should have bombed the hell out of the north and pull a dresden on their asses. and won that fuckin' war.

[trungthanh78]

Well, you did that already! At that time you americans used all your superior military power to bomb the north and virtually destroyed every single buildings, including hospitals and schools, in North Vietnam!

[trungthanh78]

But you couldn't win that war because you didn't fight for your country! (Sadly!) American solders fought and sacrified their lives for some greedy people who want to control the China sea (and to prevent the Communists from doing the same), just like what they did with the Persian Gulf now.

[trungthanh78]

More than any other countries, we Vietnamese hate wars, because we had to continuosly fight for our independence for more than two thousand years!

[stcrzyaatyrs]

My deep respect and compassion for what your country has endured, I know the vietnamese people are a humble and good people. You have an incredible country that makes the greedy of the world commit all of the 7 deadly sins.

There many good Americans that stood up in your defence too.

[slickskillet123]

we should have bomed the gooks into submission.

[SigEp2K3]

hmm...we tried and it didn't work, learn your history moron!! Operation Rolling Thunder, Linebacker I and II, amongst others to try and bring the NVA to the negotiation table

[slickskillet123]

we let the politician's pick the targets not the generals,you son of whore.

[bingofob]

and about the bombing,the gov lied to u americans about the tokin bombing it was a lied,just to bomb vietnam

[slickskillet123]

learn your grammer charlie chan!

[SpisadKoTunga]

learn to complain about facts rather than grammar idiot.

[slickskillet123]

another swedish coward cum-catcher!

[slickskillet123]

sweden the land of male on male fist fuckin'!

[bingofob]

wow ur a fuking idiot!the u.s did fucking bomb vietnam/more bomb drops than the world war 2 and other wars combined,and nothing even fucking happen..so learn ur history b4 talking and don't be racist u fucking bietch.what are tyou?white?fucking craka

[trungthanh78]

To DrCruel: Research the history before saying please. The Khmer Rouge invaded Vietnam before Vietnam fought back and invaded Cambodia to remove the power of the Khmer Rouge. At that time Khmer Rouge was causing one of the most lethal regimes of the 20th century by killing more than 1.5 million Cambodians and they would not stop had Vietnam not invaded Cambodia. And we withdraw after beating the Khmer Rouge without occupying any piece of Cambodian land!

[trungthanh78]

To DrCruel (Cont.): Admittedly invasion is never right and there is political reasons behind the invasion (the China backs Khmer Rouge and the Russia backs Vietnam). However, you can't deny that the Vietnam solders played the major role in stopping Khmer Rouge killing Cambodian people. And the leaders of the Cambodian goverment did officially thank us for that!

[omg1girls2]

usa can neva beat vietnam>usa coung dang vietnam!if u wanna see my boring boring vids come watch them lol

[JennyGirlztwo]

Thank You All Vets;

May God Bless All Of You !

[Greatherlorre]

Its all one big piece of crap guys, i mean come on werent we all wrong? the north was bulling the south, but they dint want a direct war. They wanted that election. america dint gave em that and started rolling tunder, meanwhile the notrh was massing around the mekong using cambodia and laos to group a force.

They both killed and they both destroyed.

Now for the Hippies: try to find the difference between a vietcong and a civie. i think it aint strange they bombed the shit out of everybody.

[vinnymatrix]

Remember at that time, conventional war, and american using maximum strenght to fight. did you see any war in the world. using 6000 airplanes. only vietnam war US using 6000 Airplanes and lost 3675. Biology , Chemical Weapons. except Nukes.

[TigerclawTin]

jezus north vietnam start fought south vietnam at vietnamese newyear thats not fair they promist that we work togheter in peace but nooo they had a hunger for fighting so north attacked south vietnam .... stupid people and then america left us alone ( you could drop a big bomb on hanoi boom you won think ...

[scoutcube1]

holy shit, we totally torched the country, but we still lost

[MasterAceman123456]

Vietnam is a lot like Iraq is now, only with more vegetation. Same old BS, back then it was Dont let the dominoes fall, today its wheres the WMDs. But one thing remains: the terrible suffering both sides and the civilian population endured. That is, the civilians who werent insurgents....sound familiar?

[MythosRuler]

A guy I used to work with, named Richard, said this about Vietnam: "I've only been on an airplane twice in my life and ended up in Vietnam both times..."

[flyboyII]

Thanks for posting this... it's a great illustration of what the war looked like. I've read many books from that era, trying to understand what Vietnam was like, and this really helped me piece it together.

[Duchess2]

I was born in October of 1972, and I myself have a very diffcult time recalling this time in our history because I've seen the terrible affects of it. Yet we must remember. It seems that we never learn. Thanks for posting.

[OnionHead1988]

anybody got the video where the south vietnamese officer guy executes the vietcong prisoner in the middle of the street? and you see the blood shoot out the other side of his head, '68 i think
