Fall of Saigon

[TheGixxerracin]

I will give that dude props bailing out of the copter about 150- 200 ft above the ground at 2:38 that took some balls.

[cybermarsactual]

Takes some balls to manually ditch a helicopter. You either thinking: I've always wanted to do that. Or your thinking oh god I'm gonna die. Which it seems is the only time the A.R.V.N. would mobilize towards a common goal. Which led to military failure for all parties involved. Which is why the best soldiers ever produced by the united states in the highest state of readyness still could not win. Bummer.

[grissom1m]

The video is the epitome of "Get the Hell Out of Dodge". "NO SIR!' We are not retreating! We are advancing in another direction!"

[grissom1m]

The video is the epitome of "Get the Hell Out of Dodge".

[SimFan20]

I'm overwhelmed by how many naive, arrogant, "peace protesters" still have not learned that the US has better intentions than any of its enemies.

[50poiuyt]

@SimFan20 for many people in the world ,Yanks are devils.That's why they hate you.

[eulex10]

US imperalists rushed through like a dogs on embassy roof and their paid local garbage

[TheBolaz]

if this is what your freedom reaps, keep it for your united states!

YANKEE GO HOME

(there are still 725 army bases in the world, outside US territory!!!)

[RecBookHero]

@TheBolaz They are permitted by the governments in those outside countries to be there. At any time they could tell the US to leave and it would be forced to, but they dont. Why? Its great for security, the US has to pay to keep it there, and it does not do any harm.

[50poiuyt]

The most shameful lost

[Darksideguy1]

viatnamese suck

[nagant40]

america go home

[zookeeper220]

@nagant40 Already did.

[acewing29]

why dont they just ship to united states or something

[tungkid95]

LONG LIVE VIETNAM

LONG LIVE UNCLE HO!

[corollatime]

chinese are jealous , cause they dont have fish to catch, damn to chink, long live viet nam

[SteveNati0n]

@corollatime what are you talking about? how are the chinese jealous?

[at1212b]

The Fall of Saigon highlighted US Arrogrance that stemmed from the US Spanish War.

Unfortunately, they have not learned their lesson.

[50poiuyt]

@at1212b That's why they will lost in Apgan again

[Albee213]

@at1212b Yeah cus only America is arrogant! Hitler, Mao, Stalin are all peace loving people that could bring world peace if it weren’t for us pesky Americans!

[at1212b]

@Albee213 Well, just like how Hitler's arrogance brought him down (Stalin, well, he was doing fine until someone poisoned him). And China basically defeated the US in Korea with their arrogance.

I'm not 'US Hater' but the US felt a aura of righteousness stemming back from the Spanish War (and loosely, the Revolution and Civil War)

[Albee213]

@at1212b Yeah, say that to the millions that were slaughtered after US left by the North Viets and in Cambodia while thousands and thousands fleed in boats to escape and many to come to America...

[at1212b]

@Albee213 Yeaa babbby!!!

[RecBookHero]

@at1212b Stalin wasnt poisoned....and the US didnt lose in North Korea. President Truman just ordered the 38th parelell to be enplaced and for whatever reason decided not to invade China (like McArther suggested).If you dont believe history (McArthur defeated the Chinese, and had them running before he was fired) believe logic (Why would the Chinese agree on the 38 parelell if they were winning) and personnal expirience (uncle in war, he said they were running). The politions just wanted to...

[Noobssuckass300]

@RecBookHero the chinese were not defeated. they overstretched their supply lines, but they did not capitulate.

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 They didnt capitulate yet, but they would have in due time. You cant fight a war with slaves forever, sooner or later the chinese soldiers would have grown tired of running suicidal towards American Machine guns and howitzers. Like I said, they were pushed back despite their unbelievable numbers.

[Noobssuckass300]

@RecBookHero The Chinese won many battles in the Spring Offensive.

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 But they were pushed back regaurdless.

[Noobssuckass300]

@RecBookHero only because mao ordered against his general's wishes to continue fighting, even when the us offered a ceasefire.

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 No, they were being pushed back by force. It doesnt matter if the general wished to continue fighting, the troops themselves were lacking the proper supplies and training. You realize most of them didnt even have guns, they would actually pick the guns up from the one shot dead in front of them.

Im sorry, the chinese are very loyal people and would have fought longer then most cultures, but not forver.

[Noobssuckass300]

@RecBookHero the US offered a ceasefire to stop fighting, after the us army was forced into the longest retreat in american military history. also, the chinese were being supplied with russian military weapons, including the mig15, the most advanced fighter jet at that time.

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 Yes the United States retreated, but it was after McArthur had pushed the Chinese back to their border. McArthur won a great victory, only one problem, he disobeyed Trumans orders, giving truman legal basis to fire McArthur. Why do that to one who just defeated communism? Kept him out of the ballots for good my freind, its how politics work.

McArthur suggested we invaded China, and had shown we could have in recent battles, but was back stabbed like the American ceasar.

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 Oh, and the Mig 15 had already been employed in that area during the war, and did win superiority against all aircraft EXCEPT for the Sabre 86, which successfully counteracted it enough for the military to compensate.

[Noobssuckass300]

@RecBookHero that was created after the call for ceasefire (not the actual ceasefire)

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 No, it was used by china as early as 1950, where it completely recked American plains at first, untill they introduced the Sabre 86.

[Noobssuckass300]

@RecBookHero the sabre 86 was not some super plane that destroyed the mig15.

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 I never said that, I merely said the Mig15 wasnt some super plane that destroyed the Sabre 86.

[Noobssuckass300]

@RecBookHero Where is this conversation even going?

[RecBookHero]

@Noobssuckass300 lol man i dont fucken know! lets just end it here!

[RecBookHero]

@at1212b give Mcarthur a black spot so he wouldnt run for president. He was regaurded as a hero, if he ran he would have recieved like 98 percent of votes. So to ensure this doesnt happen, they made McArthur look like a nut job who lost the Korean war to the Commies because he disobeyed orders. That is why there is a North Korea today, that is why there are people going around saying the US is "arrogant" (as if its face doesnt change roughly every 4-8 years). Its not a person, its a country.

[sgtmaj94]

@Albee213 idiot they killed thousands of us you retard

[Albee213]

@sgtmaj94 Yeah, say that to the millions that were slaughtered after US left by the North Viets and in Cambodia while thousands and thousands fleed in boats to escape and many to come to America...

[50poiuyt]

the fate of aggressors and their lackeys in Vietnam is the same,always.

[ToChaMayCS]

@50poiuyt Only Americans could do something like this to help South Vietnamese to escape the evil communists. As for communists, they would shoot these people and kill them all if they've seen anyone trying to flee the country. There were a lot of Vietnamese boat people were killed by these bastard communists.

[50poiuyt]

@ToChaMayCS Địt mẹ cái đám lợn,hèn nhát như chúng mày thì làm buồi gì còn cái nước Việt nam nào để rúc vào đít Mỹ nữa

[50poiuyt]

@ToChaMayCS The Yanks were idiots when they dead for the coward thieves like their lackeys in S.Vietnam.

[traninfo]

@50poiuyt Yeah right, thats why most Vietnamese people love to move to live in America to be close to these Yanks. You are just so stupid that you dont know what you are talking about. Dumb a.s.s! You think people believe in a small narrow minded person like you? Hahahah what a moron!

[freeasthewinds]

@traninfo Most Vietnamese DONT want to move to America, and love their country however yes a lot dont like their government. The Vietnamese that ran to America were often (not all) the supporters of the corrupt government of the South and before supporters of French imperialists that made a lot Vietnamese suffer. I dont condone communism but I dont dictatorships either which America supported.

[ToChaMayCS]

@50poiuyt What about the fate of Chinese aggressors? They're currently taking away lands and seas from the Communist Vietnam. Vietnamese people tried to protest the Chinese government but were banned or arrested in Vietnam by these puppets for Chinese Communists. Vietnamese fishermen are presently being banned from fishing even in their water controlled by VN. What are you going to do about it, hypocrite?

[50poiuyt]

@ToChaMayCS

We must re invade South Vietnam



[guitarfreak651]

@Fattboy26 you're a fool if you think American needs to get itself into another pointless war and losing more of our brothers and sisters

[Fattboy26]

@guitarfreak651

You must liberate them you must join up and conquer the South.

[guitarfreak651]

@Fattboy26 you mean create another vietnam war and end up with close to half a million cassualties and most likely more rapes and war crimes committed by both sides, fyi the U.S. were fighting to stop the spread of communism and PROTECT the south not conquer it in which they couldnt it wasnt their fight

[Fattboy26]

@guitarfreak651

Yes something like that. And if there are rapes then maybe you might get laid. Might.

So re invade the South.

[guitarfreak651]

@Fattboy26 You're just another war waging anti peace loser, go have fun cleaning your bb guns and screwing your cousin loser

[Fattboy26]

@guitarfreak651

Yes guitar I start all wars I am a CONSERVATIVE therefore I am evil and a war monger. No I would rather screw your cousins.

[guitarfreak651]

@Fattboy26 pssh, bye bye troll

[Fattboy26]

@guitarfreak651

Bye sweetheart

[ctenar1970]

@Fattboy26 and then re escape as losers again

[Fattboy26]

what s the name of this song?

[sternumagnum]

If anyone is paying attention to the Creedence lyrics of the soundtrack of this clip, Fogerty is singing about how the American working class gets to take it up the pattootie and goes to the war to get in harm's way while the "senator's son" and the other "fortunate sons" stay behind and prounce around "supporting the troops" like chicken hawks.

Remind you of anything more recent ?..

[shillyshallyz]

USA, A COUNTRY IN DISHONOR: DAMNED TO BEING A ROGUE NATION? From Roosevelt to Nixon, the USA lied to their citizens and to the world about the peace loving and the good guys while continuously planning genocides, setting up dictatorships and military juntas around the world, generalizing wars and whorehouses, rapes and crimes everywhere they go. "WHOEVER HAS THE AMERICANS AS ALLIES DOESN'T NEED ENEMIES" — The Americans are their own worst enemy, for they are the worst kind in the human kind

[shillyshallyz]

During the 1968 Tet Offensive the communist troops infiltrated and captured dozens of towns in South VN, including the former Imperial City of Hue. People were stuck in their homes. Heavy naval and terrestrial shellings plus aerial napalm bombing had destroyed some 10,000 houses out of 17,000 in Hue. The Americans had simply decided to destroy the towns - in order to save them. Of course, the communists were blamed for the destruction and the collateral killing of the people! who else?

[aslad]

@shillyshallyz thats what happens when you draft convicted felons into the military most times.

[lechinhluan]

The red wave of communists started from Moscow, poured into China, North Vietnam, expanded to South Vietnam and to Cambodia. The red wave brought destruction to where it went including South Vietnam, Cambodia. It stopped only when USSR collapsed, cut off aids to all communist parties under Russian influence. North VN volunteered fighting for Russian expansionism

[aviomaster]

-- Dumb uneducated asseses in USA , celebrate victory in Vietnam .... ?????

- Vietnam is FREE country they forgot ...

[lechinhluan]

After the fall of Berlin Wall, East Germans gained freedom and their basic human rights. After the fall of Saigon, South Vietnamese lost freedom and their basic human rights. Millions of Vietnamese risked their life to flee their country by boat, by land, by air

[hungvan]

Vietnam is a freed country. People who fled the country were war criminals.

[wildweasel68]

@hungvan Total horse shit. They were fleeing communist oppression. Vietnam is hardly a workers paradise, just a typical corrupt bunch of commie bastards filling their pockets on the labor of the people.

[hungvan]

@wildweasel68 maybe you should take a trip Vietnam again, then it will change your mind.

Corruption? like the regime U.S. backed weren't there any corruption from those guys?

No corruption in the U.S.?

Vietnam now has 70% of population born after the war. young and energetic and has 2nd highest GDP growth after China. You should take a trip there, it will change your mind.

[wildweasel68]

@hungvan Yes, I would like to return to Vietnam to see the country in peace time and I agree that the country has made real gains. I still have a soft spot for Saigon, now HCM City. I still don't see it as totally free but I feel that the country is going in the right direction. and you are right, my experience is during war time. All the best.

[eulex10]

@wildweasel68 that s right

[deepgalaxy3000]

@hungvan who the hell are you to name the people who fled the country, the war criminals? you should shut the hell up. there were 2-3 millions people run away from the VC. not only the Sounth Vietnameses run away but also the Northern Vietnameses too. Tell me what's kind of criminals are they?

[lechinhluan]

Had the US not intervened in Vietnam in 50s communists would have gone further to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore. SVN & US stopped communists at 17th parallel for 20 years. During this time, the crack between Russia & China became wider. After 75, proxy war between Russia and China fought in Cambodia. The domino effect stopped because communists fought each other

[mfreeman7821]

Where the fuck are you from?

B4 i can talk to you, identify your self aare you a thik american? but waht background a chink from vietnam or what the fuck you fucking american mongrels.

That's an Air America chopper from 0:05 to 0:30. They were the last ones still flying even after the marines stopped the runs from the embassy roof.

[jt21321]

Can someone tell me what is happening with the helicopter being crashed and pushed into the sea??????????????

[bren67]

The flight deck was full they had to ditch alot of the helicopters over the side a real waste of great machinery.

[mfreeman7821]

True, but you have to give them props on how they valued human life over machinery.

[ctenar1970]

Yanks showed their wealth by ditching helicopters to sea

[RozzyMoko]

They pushed them off to make room for the Vietnamese choppers, dude.
