[sandspoint]

we lost the war but we sure did knock down there population.

[echoecho990]

The United States is a flood stupid, not to fight in Vietnam, 50,000 people have died here, the United States forever a failure for Vietnam

[echoecho990]

truth is the truth forever lost forever beat Vietnam, some dogs do not know what it shut

[echoecho990]

yx

[Zikan13]

Long live to the general Vo Nguyen Giap!

[wasborn1982m]

Idiots playing war for some dump asses politics.Would be better to make a big ring for people (included politicans) who enjoying running and shoting around with weapons.Take them all inside the ring and let the world enjoying these assholes acting like some apes who lost there bananas...

[vpnvyrtual]

End up with those bunch of shit Asians, including Laos, Myanmar, and shit Vietanm greater China.

[vpnvyrtual]

@Slajjin 'If we didn't go to Vietnam the rest of south eastern Asia would be communist' Did US be much helpful? No. Of course Vietnam is still belonging to Commies. And a load of dictatorial shit countries like Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar...

[pobinr]

Started when US stuck their noses in2Vietnamese wish to be independent from the French. Yanks fighting 2b independent from the Brits would have killed anyone that got in their way.So you can't blame the Vietcong for trying to kill yanks. Vietcong woman have their families killed by yanks so they want kill yanks.

US justification of the slaughter. Domino theory = total BS, just like WMD in Iraq. As long politician's sponsors can make a buck from wars they always find phoney excuses to fight them.

[Marine34ification]

U didn't interview my father

[RedMusicSinging]

fuck this imperialist propaganda fuck you history channel

[vietvalen1]

58,000 body bags to bring home!!!!!! waste of American's blood!!!!!!

[jbravo41]

PROPAGANDA mostly. The footage was truly stunning in terms of never seen before combat footage. Most haunting is the live footage of a camera crew on board of a medevac Huey going down after being hit with wounded soldier on board. Yet the series is what embedded journalism is today in the media. Making sure the US public does not see the other side of the war. Vietnam HD completely leaves out the My Lai massacre comitted by US troops in a killing frenzy. It is whitewash of history.

[theashleykiera]

it woz DEXTER whos narrating this docu :">

[Bladeshamer9]

@SauceJohnsson dumbass my mom was I the war as a kid wtf not just who fought dunbass WHO EXPERIENCED IT

[binbashLinuxAhole]

Totally propaganda.

Who care if you 'fought hard' or being a butt-hurt heroes, but for what? over 30,000 US soldiers died for nothing.

The Vietnam war is just a repetitive war that passed on to Iraq, Afghan, Libya, Uganda and currently so called 'Mexican drug war'. Same Shit, Different Duns.

[brunomahaladina]

@binbashLinuxAhole hey you dumb FUCKIN NIGGER!!! IT WAS 58,220 US SOLDIERS THAT DIED IN VIETNAM. FUCK YOU, YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT! TYPICAL DUMB FUCKIN NIGGER...YOU SMELL LIKE SHIT, GO BACK TO FUCKIN AFRICA. NO ONE IS KEPPIN YOU HERE!!!

[Slajjin]

@binbashLinuxAhole If we didn't go to Vietnam the rest of south eastern Asia would be communist and America would still be fighting the USSR. DON'T DISRESPECT THE PEOPLE WHO DIE FOR YOUR FREEDOM.

[binbashLinuxAhole]

@Slajjin 'If we didn't go to Vietnam the rest of south eastern Asia would be communist'

Did US be much helpful? No. Of course Vietnam is still belonging to Commies. And a load of dictatorial shit countries like Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar...

Like I said, blockhead: Same Shits, different Duns.

I think someone missed the world history 101 lessons. Oh wait, I forget most people on here never know why Vietnam War happened.

Can't talk to dumb asses.

[2565wilber]

@binbashLinuxAhole you do not have to fight in first place if you had helped vietnam to get rid of the french instead help France to keep Vietnam as a colony.

[MgoMuse]

@binbashLinuxAhole Its hard to say who won/lost the Vietnam War. Tactically, the US won in a landslide, but strategically, the NVA and VC won. But thats just my opinion

[binbashLinuxAhole]

@MgoMuse No, I agree with your opinions.

[SauceJohnsson]

The ONLY people who knows what happened there, were the people who FOUGHT IT. Not hippies. Not hardcore loser Youtubers. Only the brave soldiers.

[jlow90jr]

lol, i wanted to watch this until i saw it was a history channel show...

[brunomahaladina]

@jlow90jr WHY THE FUCK IS THAT? WOULD IT RAISE YOUR IQ ABOVE THE WELFARE REQUIREMENT? FUCK YOU DUMB NIGGER

[jlow90jr]

@brunomahaladina Haha, you're funny. Solid proof of the American stereotype!

Watch ep. 13 (season 15) of South Park. They made a pretty concise summary of History Channel.

You have a good day now, boooy.

[brunomahaladina]

@jlow90jr yeah i saw that episode dumb ass, that has nothing to do with what im talking about.

[brunomahaladina]

@jlow90jr oh yeah, and im not your boy, guy.....(im not your guy friend....im not your friend guy....) LOL

[tdr124]

It's easy to it was a pointless war started by banksters. It was about stemming the influence of communism in South East Asia, albeit money is very important in a capitalist society. In reality the geopolitical climate in the 1960s was more tumultuous than it was today. Colonial empires were crumbling, republics were overthrown regularly. Marxists and Capitalists were influencing events all around the world. The same year The Marines went into Vietnam, Che Guevara went into the Congo.

[centurion180ad]

@tdr124 God damn bankers invented communism.

The bankers fomented World War Two then split Vietnam into 2 countries at the same time they indoctrinated Ho Chi Minh in their Fabian Socialist doctrine, and financed his political reentry into North Vietnam.

Xiem was picked by OSS and inserted to guarantee a rebellion in the South, and the stage was set for the bankers to fool the Vietnamese into killing each other, and the Americans to bankrupt themselves into eternal slavery.

[tdr124]

@centurion180ad It's no secret that Diem was backed by the US Gov't. But I don't agree with you entirely. To say that Ho Chi Minh was backed by bankers and to say that the creators of communism were bankers is quite a fetch. It is true that the creators of communism were from aristocratic of at least well to do families(as were most scholars, writers, and humanitarians in the late 19th and early 20th century) but I doubt they were all bankers.

[centurion180ad]

@tdr124 Fabian Socialism is an invention of the God damn bankers. Please don't take my word, look it up. H.C.M. was trained & bankrolled by these lunatic inbreeds. Bankers are the important ones, because everybody else has to work for them by force.

[salvadoraugustus]

this movie is kind of propaganda ...they shows soldiers who fought hard but not for what....is this movie made by us gov's money? but anyway ...good job heroes and fuck governments who start or searching for wars

[Countrygent100]

All Communists are nice and do nice things. The wars involving Communists would never have happened if there weren't people who didn't want to be Communist. I mean, how GREEDY some people are who want to own things for themselves and give them to their children! And how DARE they think they have the right to start up businesses and make money and get rich!?

Communism is such a GREAT system! I mean, just check it out. It's worked in.... ummm... it's worked in.... errr.....

... ummm....

[swamiji66]

"BEWARE of the military industrial complex", President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Vietnam was nothing but an industrial war to make the 1% very rich. Also, BEWARE of cable TV. They create their own history while working for the military industrial complex. Question authority. Think for yourself.

[shankarsingam]

Vietnam, what a waste. Another war led by the banks.

[unknowntrance2123]

Thumbs up if you agree that every channel should have this on, the hell these people went through to end communism, and the disrespect they got when they were back home and up to this date. our country probably wouldnt put us in a pointless war.

[blahbutt23]

although this is a war we should not have been involved with that does not mean we should not respect the men and women who served in Vietnam they had hearts of iron a true courageous heroic bravery that america has yet to entirely respect and understand the under appreciated soldier, marine, airman , navy man, the true recognition for they're service

[state135]

They should try to make a Korea in HD it would be nice to see people recognize the Forgotten War

[Kaesoism]

@state135 : Good idea.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@theawe Dont get me wrong Warren Buffet is SCUM because he is a hypocritcal LIBERAL who says one thing then does another. He can choose to be taxed more and he should because no one would run one of the world largest companies for 100k. Now as for those that follow the laws and do the same thing but do not talk out of both sides of their mouths, I am fine with them. Punishing people with higher taxes because our government overspends is not the solution, why whould you reward criminal behavior?

[tubub]

@goldsilverandiamonds

You really should back off from the hyperbolic vitriol, it doesn't help anyone and frankly it's anti-American. Go ahead and disagree with Mr. Buffet's political views, but show some respect for the old man, he's done a lot for a lot of people.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@tubub I wont back off from telling the truth! I am sick of the TOP 1% hypocritical elitist wealthy left talking out both sides of their mouth. Warren Buffet is a public figure who has made strong staments about taxing the wealthy yet this liberal hypocrite does everthing in his power and by law to skirt paying higher taxes. His goal is to actually get higher taxes for themiddle class and those less wealthy then him. It is anti American to attack classes and, I am attacking liberal hypocrits!

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@theawesomemanman You must not have understood me I agree with your stock capital gains argument and cited Warren Buffet a LIBERAL TOP1%er who only pays himself 100k a year for running one of the largest corporations and complains he does not pay enough in taxes and that his secratary pays higher income tax then he pays in total compensation taxed which is because he chooses to under pay himself an income and take stock dividends as capital gains which are taxed at a lower rate so. HE IS SCUM!

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@th If they choose to pay themselves by stock appreciation, and capitali gains are their main scource of income, like Warren Buffet. They still pay the same rates as anyone else on capital gains however it is very few wealthy that get paid this way. Most are paid a income and they pay much more then the rest. Keep in mind capital gains really should not be taxed in the first place in my opinion because the money was taxed already that made the investment.Refs IRS & "The millionaire next door"

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@the Because IRS statistics show the majority of the wealth you are complaining about is from the elderly.Yes there are some young liberal billionaires like the owners of Google, and Mark Zuckerberg from facebook but the real wealth, the ordinary wealth is from people like your grandma.Hedge fund managers pay higher income tax rates then the rest of us, the wealthy pay higher income tax rates then the rest of us,why?Should we tax tall people or dark skinned people more? STUPID IDEA RIGHT?

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@the The wealthy in America generally are the elderl who saved,& sacrificed a lifetime living below their means. They are mostly old grandparents, this is a fact. Liberals want to attack the elderly and also lower the standard for what is considered wealthy in America by saying a family that earns 150k a year is wealthy. The poor and middle class are not the only ones who spend virtually all their money just to get by, many so called rich people do to. Wealth and poverty are not static.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@theawesomema Taxing others who earn more at higher rates the the rest of the tax payers and non-tax payers. The wealthy already pay the highest precentages in income tax, they spend more money on more expenisve items thus paying higher sales tax precentages. Not keeping our corporations competitive in the world marketplace only costs us jobs and taxes.U.S. corporations pay the highest in corporate taxes in the world and this rate only gets passed on in the products and services they provide.

[Photonzos]

Conscripts are defacto slaves and volunteers are gamblers.

War is the absence of revolution.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@th They are protecting Americans from preditory TAXING reguardless if they are LIBERALS that is the American thing to do. So because Republicans care enough not to attack groups of people, in this case generally the elderly that bothers you. Interesting. Lowering taxes allows for more money to move around our economy,increasing sales and creating jobs which also creates more sales and income tax revenue, helping all. Money is like Gas in your tank the more you have in it the farther you can go.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@the Yes who owns and runs the top companies on the Forbes 500 list,liberals, research it is easy. Who are the wealthiest on the list? Bill Gates, liberal, Warren Buffet, liberal, The Waltons, liberal, Mark Zuckerberg, George Soros, the list goes on. You have been spoon feed lies and misconceptions of who are the real wealthy and powerbrokers in the U.S. it is liberals not republicans. Yes Warren Buffet along with others say tax the rich, in reality they will go after us the middle class.

[videomakerman1232]

@theawesomemanman

You argue my point, because I don't support any government policy that forces people to do something.

That's not free market capitalism...

[videomakerman1232]

@theawesomemanman

Free trade is not aggressive but it's neutral..

Just be cause you don't want to work in a sweat shop doesn't mean someone else doesn't want to.

[PengwonH]

This guy is so epic, he could probably make "Civil War in HD"

[VMA225]

I submitted about 80 minutes of Viet Nam Home Movies to Lou Reda Productions about 18 months ago. 15 Seconds of that Film ended up in the Production of " Viet Nam in HD " !!! It was like the Marines who were at Chu Lai in 1965, never existed !!! If you want to see the film, go to the VMA 225 You Tube Channel.

[josephjstern]

Thank you, Mr. Emerson, for defending the valor and nobility of our fighting men in Vietnam. The post-war treatment of Vietnam veterans was a shameful chapter in our country's history. These men deserve to rest with the knowledge that their country deeply honors the heroic sacrifices they have made.

[brianthao102]

WWII, Vietnam, I think some of us Forgot about Korea

[Countrygent100]

@Packerd01 Hi there. I had to dig through the comments bank to find your response. Interesting. My comment generated 43 thumbs up in 2 days - and Youtube for some inexplicable reason has removed it from "top comments" putting something else there with only 3 thumbs up!! Gee... I wonder... have you and I said something that Youtube doesn't like? Or did some whining pantywaist Commie-lover make a complaint? 

I couldn't agree with you more. Commie-Pinko hypocrisy stinks to high heaven!

[iamg0dtou]

@360jarhead you just commited treason agenst usa

[maskedphrogg]

@iamg0dtou

It's called irony ya chucklehead.

And doesn't relieve you of your infractions against the english language.

[Ammo1313]

I would like to thank those that put forth the effort to make these films to bring the truth out from those that lived it.

[CaptainRichardReiben]

Surprised they skipped over the Korean War..hope they make a series about it. I started watching this series and it is damn good amazing and hell, I was suprised to see some great actors voicing some of the men who were there. Edward Burns voices Joe Galloway who was portrayed by Barry Pepper in the war film We Were Soldiers. Real weird that 2 actors from the movie Saving Private Ryan portrayed the same guy.

[Blitzlevingt]

yeah ok complicit witches, come in and change the direction of the discussion...it will never change the truth and the fact that if we the people don't hold the people in power to account then civilization is lost. Guess what you are part of that civilization too...

[videomakerman1232]

It's not war that made other countries prosperous, it's through free trade and peace and prosperity. 

[CruzerZful]

Ps, my grandpa was shot 6 times by a sniper, his best friends watched him die right there. If they would try to save him, they would be shot too.

[CruzerZful]

@scabjelly84 troops weren't forced to join, they signed up. Why didn't you stay dead -_-

[CruzerZful]

I knew there would be people fighting on here -_- step 1. Stfu!!! The war is over thang to our patriotic hippies <----(a LIE about the hippies) step 2. Don't be anti-American. Step 3. Bitching about about your grandpa's life and the war will get u no where fast.

[Blitzlevingt]

evil plays both sides of the coin so he always shares in the spoils of victory. You fought and you lost... but evil still won and a peaceful civilization and their system of control was destroyed. You feel angry or upset or feel cheated then take it up the people in control not your fellow players.

[Blitzlevingt]

if people can't look past the system of control to who actually is in control you deserve to die. Communism is a system of control, the people behind the system are the same people that give you laissez-faire and mixed market economy system of control. And a large number of genocidal maniacs, they share the same handshakes and exert influence via the same institutions set up and run by them. Realize you live in an illusion created by them to keep you in control justita equitas

[scabjelly84]

I died in NAM, but now I'm back. I hate the govt. for drafting kids back then. If it's a land of free choices you should choose how you live and die.

[zvi303]

The so-called anti-war movement was inherently racist, claiming that people who did not look like us did not deserve or want personal freedom.

And I speak as someone who grew up expecting to be in that war.

Abandoning VietNam was one of the most shameful chapters in American history. Thank you Ted Kennedy and the rest of the Left! Thank you selfish college students (my elders)!

[Doctorj63]

Love Alexis's hooker boots!

[ArmymanZ83]

i hope the history channel shows a similar program on the Korean War

[genesistwoeighteen]

Well the bankers made alot of money with this war they created. With this one fact how is a guy supposed to act or feel? Am I just supposed to sit on my butt and let them continue? I will take down the banks and corporations and I am walking with the LORD on this mission.

Mystery Babylon Finally Revealed DeWayne Brothwell

Jeremiah 50:2 raise up a banner and publish among the nations and hold nothing back but say, "Babylon(banks and corporations) are captured."

[lockdown260]

@genesistwoeighteen Don't twist the bible o say something it does not. There's nothing holy about reducing everyone to poverty.

[genesistwoeighteen]

@lockdown260 Benjamin Franklin, "He who trades a little liberty for security deserves neither liberty nor security." Hosae 4:6 Gods poeple die from a lack of kowledge. Im sorry my brother but Im going to do what God does and watch the banks and corporations go down and If you dont jump aboard you will suffer says the LORD.

GOD HATES INJUSTICE. He will avenge our blood. Jeremiah 51:34 Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel

I suggest you study

[lockdown260]

@genesistwoeighteen The bible says nothing about crushing banks & corporations. You won't find those words anywhere in the bible. You should know God doesn't like people putting words in His mouth, if you are a christian. What you are doing is heresy.

If we want to play word games with scripture I could easily say people communist like people such as your self are the "babylon" & injustice God hates.

[genesistwoeighteen]

@lockdown260 So if the bible does not say "banks and corporations" then why does the bible say Mystery Babylon? So theres going to be something that rises up called "Mystery babylon" so that we will know it is Mystery Babylon? Or did God call it a Mystery because What ever it is will be a mystery til the time of the end? Habakkuk 2:3 the vision(of babylon) awaits at an appointed time and speaks(revealed) of the end. Brother please dont speak unless you are totally studied up on a subject ok.

[lockdown260]

@genesistwoeighteen All you are doing is inserting whatever entity you feel like demagoguing.Racists also (incorrectly) use verses like that to justify race wars. If it's labeled even in the Bible as a mystery what make you think that you alone know what it's referring to? You are saying you had the visions? That's stupid.

You are the one that's needs to study.

Stop speaking unless you have PROOF The BIBLE says Banks & corps are bad. QUOTATIONS or GTHO.

[genesistwoeighteen]

@lockdown260 OK that did Ive had enough of you

[ws81086n]

I cannot believe protesters stooped so low as to ridicule ordinary soldiers when they returned home. Seriously, if you did that, get down on your knees and pray for forgiveness because you perpetrated a disgusting act.

[Mustang84211]

I just watched part of this. it was very powerful and gave me a new insight into the Vietnam war.

[sailfished]

After going to the channels of the top 2 comments i am even more suspect as to their being authentic spontaneous commenter s. I see propagandists

[Blitzlevingt]

the truth about Vietnam, jesuits/freemasons took over China in the 1911 (note the date) revolutions, The jesuit/freemasons already ran France and USA. It didn't matter who won the war, what was important was Confucianism that cannot be controlled because it is a social system based a knowledge hierarchy not financial endowment would be destroyed. Keep drinking the fluoride!

If you go to war against China or Russia remember the people pulling the strings have the same handshake justita equitas

[sailfished]

No disrespect to those who were there, who fought and died for a noble cause but we shouldn't let emotionalism distort our view of what we accomplished in Vietnam, ,It was started on the lie that was the gulf of Ton-kin That we prolonged the agony of the Vietnamese people to the tune of millions of dead for nothing, The Vietnamese people have for thousands of years opposed foreign intervention going back to the "Trung sisters" ?The C.I.A.in operation phoenix killed 10s of thousands

[sailfished]

@sailfished I am not going to give the history channel an automatic pass as they are the premier mainline revisionist history source in the United States. The 2 top comments are even suspect to me as Seeded comments. Able to steer the whole comment stream to follow

[goldsilverandiamonds]

Another bloody war by a liberal president....John F. Kennedy......they always seem to leave that out about liberal presidents.

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds Well W. and Cheney did their best to start catching up.

God Bless the Military Industrial Complex!

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@Lombokstrait1 War with Mexico/ liberal, WWI liberal, WWII liberal, Korean War liberal, Vietnam liberal......and you think Bush compares. Thank GOD for our brave troops who protect us and our freedoms!!!!!!

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds what does catching up mean to you?

I didn't disagree with you... the dems have started most of the wars. period.

Thank god for our brave troops? No shit. Why do you people have to pander and pose?

It's so tansparent. As soon as they get stateside and join the OWS you hate them.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@L Catching up, far from it. Pander and pose? I think anyone that is not thankful for the military that protects them is an ingrate, yes if you call being proud of those that care enough to serve and being willing to say it is transparent on my part thats what I intend. I will say it again THANK GOD FOR OUR BRAVE TROOPS WHO PROTECT US AND OUR FREEDOMS!!!! Now as far as a former military person supporting OWS that has nothing to do with the military its a political statment one I disagree with.

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds LOL. Gung ho!

I love our troops too.

But I don't turn off my mind when contemplating what they are being deployed for.

Your patriotism is of the primitive sort. Luckily it is dieing out and giving way to a more cerebral one.

You belong in Europe during WW 1. Dumb cattle being led to slaughter.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@L You dont love anything but stupidity.

Primitive huh,It seems to question and bash those that fight for you is actually more primitive.

Contemplating what they are being deployed for has nothing to do with them,it has to do with the politicians and political parties who decide. The military does what they are asked to do, so you might have some misplaced anger if you think otherwise.I know you must think its cool to attack and criticize the young men and women who protect you but its not!

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds I didn't and I don't criticize them at all. I suport them during and AFTER their service.

That's where you are transparent. You couldn't give a shit about them once they are done serviing. They have my respect, gratitude, and my regrets that are used up and thrown away.

They are pawns... Shutting off part of your intelect and denying this does no one any good.

In fact it's unpatriotic.

Go thump your bible and wave the flag... it's as good as pissing in the wind.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@Lo Nice try dumb ass.I always respect the military serving or not, however, that does not mean I will not question or disagree with ANTI AMERICA BEHAVOIR from a former military person. OWS is a Anti American, anti capitalist, pro communist movement that wants to attack the economic backbone of America by generalizing rather then going after the specific criminals within government and private business. OWS wants to generalize and attack Capitalism and those who support it and obey the laws.

[Blitzlevingt]

@goldsilverandiamonds take a step back and know that the anti American behavior is being driven by the same people..its a coup d'état like 911 allowed taking over of the intelligence network. panetta, jesuit, obama freemason..william & middleton married on the 66th anniversary of hitler & braun's wedding..LOL with google u think they would have checked. hitler was jesuit freemason btw, pol pot jesuit, stalin jesuit American troops wear a backwards flag. America is hijacked! justita equitas

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds get your POM-POM you fuck'n cheerleader patriot. Woo hoo!!! I have no brain. I love AMerica!!!! God BLess. Fuck me in the ASS!!! I like it!!!

Good job.

Tool.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@Lombokstrait1 Go fuck yourself communist homo.

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds Nice try. I'm a capitalist who owns Haliburton and General Dynamics stock.

I might as well fuck over America too. If you can't beat'em join'em.

HA HA HA.

How's the dick up your ass!!!

HA HA HA.

God Bless America and patriots like you who love getting fucked by the Mil Ind complex!!!

LOL!!!

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@L Well it is typical of liberals to want to fuck over America by the way the are the top1% and run the largest corporation in the U.S. Typical dumb ass thinking its the conservatives. And good for you, my Grandmother owned Halibuton, Exxon and Cheveron and did very well, maybe your stocks will to, remember to invest in proven quality, that just smart.

As far as dick being up ass you are asking the wrong person, you need to look in the mirror for that one, homo.Thank governemt for the MIC.

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds LOL. You are so confused now you're spinning.

The 1% are just opportunists preying on dumb patriotic pride... it's the lube they use to fuck conservatives, no matter which party is in power. And the conservatives eat it up. They love it.

Have you even been paying attention the last 30+ years?

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@Lombokstrait1 So Bill Gates is not a Liberal nor is Warren Buffet, or George Soros, or the vast majority of the Forbes 500.....you are a brainwashed sheep LIBERALS are the top1% guys like Al Gore, Michael Moore, Sean Penn, and the rest of Hollywood, the media not to mention Wall Street and Banking run by liberals all big business. Being patriotic and having pride in your country is no different then loving your family and children, you are a really brainwashed fool. Why dont you move crybaby!

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds LOL. No way I love the US of A!!!

Crybaby? LOL. Geez you are reaching.

First I was a communist.... big big big miss. Now I'm a cry baby? Right.

It is what it is. I call it like I see. You sheeple are the prey. The rest is all background nois.

Why you like being prey... I just don't get it.

But is interesting examining your psychosis. Thank you.

Keep flailing! I should Move? Ugh that is so old and tired. Just vote republican. I counting on it!!! Thanks!!!

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@Lombok You have had 50 years of liberal policies to reflect on yet you still want to travel down the path of ruin.....you are a fool.

Move , yes move if you are so unhappy with America move the fuck out or stop crying like a baby....makes sense to me, but of course not to you, you like the attention you think you are cool and hip to be a trendy liberal who hates his family..got it.

Prey? Looks like you have been picked apart, you're are the meal. I will be voting PRO-AMERICA you wont.

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds I'm not unhappy with America!!! LOL. Haven't you been reading! Wow. You are dense.

Don't worry about it. This has been interesting.

You don't even get it. Your vote is worthless.

America is still the land of opportunity. And I have a feeling in a few years the opportunity will be even better.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@Lombokstrait1 You are fucking stupid.

[Lombokstrait1]

@goldsilverandiamonds at least I'm not a cheerleader patriot like you. Duh... Amurika rocks... no matter whut we do!

Get this you're taken advantage of. Get... it? They count on dumb asses like you.

And so do I.

Go Amur eee kaaa!

[maskedphrogg]

@goldsilverandiamonds

JFK a liberal?

When did that happen?

Jack Kennedy is among our most conservative Presidents.

He was in the midst of a complete pull out of 'Nam when he was shot in cold blood.

Enough of your revisionist history.

It was his Veep Johnson that plunged the country into the debacle that the war in Viet Nam became.

[Nationofhonor]

@maskedphrogg Although he had some conservative principles, JFK was a still a Liberal. Where was the air support for those Cuban rebels? Why was he such an enviro freak? Also JFK was a Racist, a total racist.

But I guess that's better than 99% of other Democrats

[maskedphrogg]

@Nationofhonor

I'll agree with you on abandoning the Cuban rebels after his covert ops had assured them they would get the support they needed. However, I feel obliged to correct you on concern for the environment. That *is* a conservative plank. What liberals inappropriately label as environmentally friendly is a contemporary oxymoron. Much of what libs label as "green" is less environmentally sound than the tech it is intended to replace. Racist? Where did you get that from?

[Nationofhonor]

@maskedphrogg He had public connections with the KKK and he set up a wiretap on MLKJ for

"Communist Links"

[maskedphrogg]

@Nationofhonor

The Democrat Party was openly connected to the KKK. Robert Byrd was Grand Dragon or whatever around the time we speak of. Besides being a Dem, there is no evidence JFK held beliefs himself that could rightly be labeled racist. He did risk the association upon registering as a Dem.

Seems to me those wiretaps, though unlawfully obtained and thus not actionable, did reveal some links to known Communist Party operatives. I'd hardly call that evidence of racism.

[Nationofhonor]

@maskedphrogg He put them on Martin luther king jr. a Black Republican fighting for equal rights. I was all for the wire tapping on the Commies, but Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican, and not a Commie. JFK knew this and he stil tapped him, because a republican equal rights revolution would hurt him, so he tried to dig up dirt on the Black man. This was not necessary as JFK's good friends in the south found a better way of putting down Equal rights revolutions...

[maskedphrogg]

@Nationofhonor

Wouldn't that have been Bobby with the wiretaps? He was AG after all.

How is failing to put down a civil right movement " a better way?"

You have strange way of reviewing history.

[Nationofhonor]

@maskedphrogg No, by put down civil rights revolutions, I meant the Democrats coming in with water hoses.

[maskedphrogg]

@Nationofhonor

Sorry, not falling for your revisionist version of history.

Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed irregardless of the KKK and it's kin in the South. Hell, KKK was active in IN at that time, and since for that matter.

[Nationofhonor]

@maskedphrogg Dude I'm not disagreeing with you, you're just misinterpreting me.

[maskedphrogg]

@Nationofhonor

You're trying to rewrite history. That is what I disagree with.

You called John F Kennedy a Liberal simply because he was a member of the Dem Party. That is pretty short sighted. To support your claim you cite the bad behaviour of Dems that came primarily from the South. We have no idea what John's view on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 would have been. He was already dead in the ground when Dem President LBJ formulated the legislation and got it passed w/Republican support.

[AltairKamahl]

@goldsilverandiamonds : the conflict was raging since 1950 mate... in 1961 Kennedy had no choice at the time then to send in troops to stop communist expansion. and besides he was in office for 2 years before he got poped... the real shit started when Johnson took over and later Nixon.

[goldsilverandiamonds]

@AltairKamahl The fact remains John F. Kennedy dragged us into the Vietnam war it was his CHOICE, not Johnsons and certainly not Nixon. It does not matter who many years he was in office he lead us into conflict with Vietnam and almost a nuke war with the Soviet Union. Again he made the choices and he should be held accountable not Nixon they way the media wants to revise history and tell it. The real shit started at the start if we never went in we never would have had 55,000 dead.

[oncehadacoolname]

God bless the veterans of Vietnam. May we never forget there sacrifice.

[Lombokstrait1]

@oncehadacoolname What are you talking about? I can't remember shit.

[maskedphrogg]

@Lombokstrait1

That comes as no surprise.

[Mezey5]

I'm glad documentaries are being done of Vietnam before the vets start dieing before they can tell their story.

[alielbaryeshua]

Its so sad that the gulf of Tonkin incident (false flag) entered us into a war that cost hundreds of thousands of american lives. God bless our soldiers that were sent into war by corrupt POS politicians. Dont hate the soldiers, hate the fat catz that send them to their deaths.

[funnyfarmdh]

@alielbaryeshua Hundreds of thousands????? Not to demean those who were killed over there but the figure is 58,000. Get it right.

Viet Vet 64-65

[Lombokstrait1]

@funnyfarmdh LOL. Hmmm think now. Maybe he's talking about the wounded and the maimed. Mentally disabled. The families... Oh agent orange?

Oh and about an estimated 3 million vietnamese. Ouch!

Get it right. Right? You were there right?

[funnyfarmdh]

@Lombokstrait1 Yes, I was there. And no he was specific about hundreds of thousands of Americans killed. But your point is well taken, people begging at every off ramp and many street corners and some are disabled vets........... and some claim to be............

[ScrubifyHD]

just think how it would be

[Lombokstrait1]

@ScrubifyHD It would suck shit. 

[g00se99]

No sound for me

[Countrygent100]

Those who want to argue: "North Vietnamese (Viet Cong, &etc) = Love & Peace & Equality / USA = Imperialistic Murderer" need a history check.

The NORTH started the war in the first place by invading the South.

Years of misery later, Nixon attempted a negotiated peace with honor. The NORTH broke that by invading the South - again!

In fear 500,000 South Vietnamese fled into the sea: half drowned.

The VC then murdered 10s of 1000s; imprisoned 300,000; invaded Cambodia. Peace making, VC style.

[zvi303]

@Countrygent100 I like your post, but I have to correct you slightly. It was not a peace with honor. It was a half-surrender, the best Nixon could get when the Congress had turned against him. And after Watergate, with the MSM as a force multiplier, had given us perhaps the most left-wing congress in American history, we refused to honor our commitment to the VietNamese people, and even cut off civilian aid. (Source: Al Haig, Nixon's Chief of Staff at the time.)

[zachfresh]

@Countrygent100 Word.

[bohemianfoi]

History of Vietnam will always have two sides to it, this show just tell the soldiers sides, that all.

[NAGGERNUTZ]

Ia Drang was the worst battle of the Vietnam war. That's where Joe Galloway saw the 2 jets dropping napalm. It was after a broken arrow was called in.

[artsychic2000]

the government has no problem murdering it's own soldiers...or shooting them up with toxic vaccines or setting off ied's

[BEARARMZ]

americans got their ass kicked. nope dont feel sorry for imperialists. dont matter if the imperialists are americans. all imperialists die

[BEARARMZ]

@desirefirst sounds like america too me

[desirefirst]

@BEARARMZ you obviously need to read some honest history of the horror your country visited upon other cultures over many hundreds of years, longer than the US has even been in existence.

[tomperanteau]

@desirefirst You're right. How many had to die when they murdered to steal what is now Mexico? Then there were the Spanish/Cuban war, the wars in northern Africa...

Sounds like the Spaniards to me.

[yeebuddeh1]

@tomperanteau

Spain was an imperial power for its time, and after WWII America became one for this time.

Spain's crimes in the past don't excuse America's

[tomperanteau]

@yeebuddeh1 I searched all through my response, but I could not find anywhere that I stated that Spain's crimes excused America's. Did you just make that up to have something to say?

[scepticsteve]

@yeebuddeh1 I'm a German, my parents and grandparents are German. We never had to dig gold for America or were abused by American overseers. In fact quite a lot of German leftist clowns talk and talked very nasty about America. They answered by defending my home country and my freedom.

America never was an empire, no matter how much you lie about it. I thank America for defending her own interests along with her allies. If you don't like it, eat grass in North Korea or live in Vietnam under coms

[elliottstanley]

@scepticsteve "America never was an empire"

c'mon son stop with that ignorant bullshit and hit the books

[Kaesoism]

@elliottstanley : Actually, if you look into what the old imperialistic empires were like, compared to modern-day America, there is a difference. The US doesn't conquer its enemies, rather, it gives aid for recovery, promotes a democratic government, and provides military security until they [the former enemy] are ready to take over themselves. The term is called, Empire Lite.

[zvi303]

@scepticsteve Thank you.

[desirefirst]

@BEARARMZ yeah, i agree, fuck those imperialist nations like Spain that decimated native cultures all over what is now Mexico, as well as central and south america; it's great that Spain is now going down financially and will soon be a failed state with it's own civil war.

[swinewarrior]

@desirefirst I live in Spain and its cool for me

[JDPKRevolution]

@BEARARMZ Maybe you should get a dictionary and look up the term imperialist, you seem to use it loosely though being insignificant due to your own ignorance

[scepticsteve]

@BEARARMZ That's factually wrong. The communists got their asses kicked before the politcal traitors sold the free southern Vietnamese (and millions of others) out. watch?v=F67C8yzww_Y

So you despise the communist empires as much as every other person in the a free world (including South Korea, Taiwan, Germany, aall not enslaved thanks to the USA)?

The communist aggressors weren't stopped when the sought to grow their empire as they were in Korea and Berlin, sadly.

[panzer903]

my dad got to see Vietnam in "HD" sounds like it sucked. America doesn't deserve the service of these men but thank god for it.
