Operation Montagnard Against the Viet Cong: Vietnam War - U.S. Army Special Forces Training

[MrVonnoobie]

Difference between Australian and US use of the Montagnard, The US tended to use large unit's, 40 men or more, While the Barry Peterson used 4 men give or take, Being the common Aussie thinking that small unit's are easier to blend into the Jungle, And they were, he was so loved and admired by the Montagnard, Both the civilian's and his troop's, That many actually cried openly when he was sent home.

Shame it doesn't mention Australia's involvement in there training, The most successful man to command and work with the Montagnard was Captain Barry Peterson, Lent to the CIA, His massive amount of success and refusal to let his troop's become nothing more then Hit men meant he made enemies both politically and military.. Sadly seeing to him being removed of command, After that there effectiveness dropped Massively.

They could bomb Afghanistan back to the stone age....nixon style and only do about 400 dollars worth of damage.....I told everyone from the get go that Afghanistan AND Iraq would be Viet Nam over again....except there is no draft and every one who volunteers get rewarded in numerous way$. Good Luck!

If there was/is a draft, the war in Afghan and Iraq would have ended many years ago. As of now the underclass is doing the fighting and dieing for the ruling class.

These old documentaries produced and presented by the US Army about US Army advisers in South Vietnam in the early '60s are interesting. Thanks, again, for putting this up.

Oh my goodness. Listen to the reasoning of this film. Afghanistan really is like Vietnam again. Crap!

There is probably been more than $10 in the whole family at one time in generations, so how and where to go? There are only 4countries they can walk into: Vietnam, China, Thailand, and Cambodia; none will accept them. They're hunted as sport by anyone that wants more space. Imagine their instant loss of life and limb of unexploded bombs, mines, fragmenary cluster bomb fragments, and .slow death that Agent Orange continues to offer to anyone turning the soil.

i think all the Hmong people back in; Thailand, Vietname, Laos, and China, should all get out of those hellish countries.

[N1ceV1d]

the Hmongs r the most skilled fighters in the world. that is y Americans recruited them, and make them use deadly weapons. 

[N1ceV1d]

i am sure America can defeat Vietnam in a blink of an eye now, if they wanted to really help the Hmong people.

@N1ceV1d , same thought 4 decades back as well :)



[N1ceV1d]

[sexking83]

the vietcong leaders can go get their skin boiled in 1000 degree chemical burn and let it ripped off by dogs and bears

The Hmong people were excellent trackers and fighters but got left behind when america hurridly bailed out of Vietnam in 1975
