[HistoryHmoobGuy]

FUCK south Vietnam,,,They want to embrace White people turning their country into a whore and aids infested nation like thailand today !.

R.I.P. HO CHI MIHN

FUCK FAT RACIST REDNECK BITCHES !!!

[controlusplease1]

@HistoryHmoobGuy If you want to make a point, make it intellectually and linguistically. Here you provide your opinion without any supporting context or facts, blatantly using explicit words that make you look rather ignorant & uneducated.

When you do this, it makes the side that you support look bad, as an average person reading your comment will make the general assumption that most from your side of the argument are also ignorant & uneducated, & as a result lose credibility.

[gunplow]

GO HOME COMMIE

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

@hojoleon

Your grandfather also takes it up the shitter.

[hojoleon]

westmorald was an idot. my grandfather a full colonel never came back the same.

[fxnooodle]

Tet was a defeat for the NVA but the liberal media painted as victory. God dam liberals.

[controlusplease1]

@fxnooodle You cant blame just liberals for the outcome of the war. Much of it had to do with the bad policies developed by the mostly Republican Congress, Senate, & Presidency during the war, like the ineffective US controlled South Vietnam puppet government, and the ROE that negatively affected US troops on the ground. The leaders and civilians, both Republican & Democrats, in America were too out of touch with the war for the outcome to be successful, as any veteran will tell you.

[HungKiet]

U.S is the one to blame lost the wart hey betray South Vietnam

[FiREFLYSerenity408]

@HungKiet You should not blame the United States entirely, you should blame U.S. Congress.

[specops24th]

It's a crazy world indeed...The VC Officer, a Captain, was apart of a Death Squad, and I believe he knew, he was going to die that day, I don't know... When Loan pulled out his gun, and begin to wave soldiers away,you notice the guy kind of peeks,then he looks away like he was waiting,and then the shoot.And after he died, he became a HERO among the Vietnamese...He became a symbolic image...I remember looking at the actual video when he was captured, his face showed concern, and for good reason.

[theboomster]

The Viet Cong were indiginous armed Vietnamese. Westmoreland's strategy was not just to search for ordinary Viet Cong, but full-time soldiers & peasant part-time Gook militias with no uniforms. Americans should attempt to destroy full Gook battalions.VC didn't melt into the jungle as expected, but reinforced themselves N. VC matched US troop increases from 200,000 to 500,000. VC could outlast the US and be there forever, because they lived there. Gooks ended up waging a war of attrition on US

[evildeathmonkey1]

wow that embassy guy is one cold badass motherfucker.. He just shot a guy that was trying to kill him and he just stands there almost laughing about it. Nice.

[GodlessMartyr666]

war is a dirty thing though, I guess to those who have minimal understanding at the least of the horror of war ( but I personally have never participated in one nor am I or was I ever a soldier for any army... ) it's not such an atrocity. At first glance without knowledge of the situation it does look a little heinous , execution by point blank gunshot to the head but... To be brutally honest they could have done MUCH worse things to him..They could have cut his body or removed limbs until death

[wayne487msc]

Yes, the video did say the Chief of Police. Not general. So, I stand corrected, thanks.

The rest I believe is correct based on what I have read.

[wayne487msc]

What a distorted view of why the general shot that VC in the street. That VC, not in a uniform, had brutally killed the general's neighbor, wife and children. Yes, he probably was in a state of insane revenge, You would have done the same thing. This video needs to get its hotel out of its alfa!

[GodlessMartyr666]

@wayne487msc he wasn't a general you idiot, he was the chief of regional police...

[djjosh34445]

16 thousand is alot. But the American public have seen far worse.

[belkinmanable]

kill more viet rats

[SororThothma]

Gen. Westmoreland was an epic imbecile. 

[jikustik]

Vietnam good...........

[jacky2s1]

the war is over- VN and America is now friend-our problem is China- they doesn't have any respect to other country

[belkinmanable]

@jacky2s1

they don't respect vietnam only cuz viets are rats, they respect USA, lol

[ssu123]

I must say the war was hard fought on both sides. The VCs and NVA is very skilled and Resourceful.... i like there determination... also the Americans who stand by their doctrine to halt the spread of the commies...

[bh3ader]

That executed VC assasin/officer deserved it. the man being executed was targeting the officer's families and was found in a ditch with dozens of murdered corpses. among the killed were family members of the executioner's friend and the photo was taken out of context. The cameramen, said "i killed the general with my camera" because he was received repercussions for a just action.

[duke6886]

What was not explained in the wake of the distribution of the captured images was that the suspect had just taken part in the killing of one of Loan's most trusted officers and his family.

[duke6886]

Provided with "blacklists" of military officers and civil servants, viet cong began to round up and execute any that could be found. General Nguyễn Ngọc Loan, chief of the National Police, publicly executed Viet Cong officer Nguyen Van Lem captured in civilian clothing in front of a photographer and film cameraman.

[donteventry99]

col. conrad crane, 1968 was ancient history, but now in the 2,ooo's they must have better tuopee's for your head. cause that rug you got on is pathetic. i know beavers with better pelts than that dude. and who is that american pussy reporter calling brig. gen nuyen an insane man. thats what you get when you mess the the u.s army and allies. that cong got his head blowed off for good reason. maybe that pussy reporter should have too.

[CGonzales033]

@donteventry99 that fucking piece of shit south vietnamese colonel that executed the VC was always half drunk and an imcopetent officer, learn some history.

[donteventry99]

col. conrad crane, 1968 was ancient history, but now in the 2,ooo's they must have better tuopee's for your head. cause that rug you got on is pathetic. i know beavers with better pelts than that dude.

[killuwitgunz]

does anyone know a documentary on vietnamese history from ww2 to the vietnam war in colour told by the vietnamese?

[SingHouse]

penis.

[Thomasforest0221]

Tous les Damn Yankees

[vk45de]

What they don't tell you is that the guy executed was a vietcong who commanded the execution of police officers AND their families. He was found with 34 of his victims.

[HdjoRn]

@vk45de they taught me that on school m8 :)

people always first talk and then think itz nature

good u didn't

[TheModMoe]

South Vietnam And Usa Vs. North Vietnam Right?

[juki1x]

@ 8:00 contradicts the actual photographer's comments...you got to see First Kill docu. tohear him

[zorbaievitch]

Vive l´Indochine coloniale!

C était un wagon de pines,

qui revenait d Indochine,

y en avait des longues des fines

qui trainaient par la portiere

Tiens voila la coloniale

Tiens voila les coloniaux!

[demosphen888]

Veitnamese are truely great example to any freedom loving people. They fought hard for their independence and won against an aggressor against all odds. Well done.

Over all this documentary is shit. NLF (National Liberation Front, named by usa's propaganda the Viet Cong) isn't the same as NOrth's army. Different organizations, with different ways, but the same goal. Liberation of their country from foreign occupants and their stoogies.

[slappymcgroundout]

demos: Right. And the moon is made of green cheese. And you might ask your southerner friends just what their northerner friends did to them when war over.  The English phrase is, spit them out like cherry stones.

Lastly, re the "atrocity", the soul executed there was a member of a Viet Cong assassination squad. So he himself was assassinated, or as we would say in English, turnabout is fair play.

[ACDCFan2956]

Actually bro we shouldn't have gotten involved in Nam it was really our fault they became communist.

[1middlesbrough]

Has "liberated" Vietnam had any free elections since 1975 ?

[notNEWW]

?

i think you are pretty confused on the socio-politico-philosophical environments detonating the war of Vietnam.

[naciremad]

OH CHI MINH

[fgah]

The guy is a Vietcong commando in civilian cloth.

[Chouji111111]

Could someone tell me the difference between the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong?Thought that veitcong was a another slang for The North Vietnamese heh guess I was wrong.

[Mafajusi]

VC -> Viet Cong -> nicknamed "Victor Charlie" by the US -> was the own build armed Part of the official forbidden Communist Party and other Groups inside South Vietnam.

Of cause it was supoprted by North Vietnam Authorities........secretly. Over the Trail named "Ho-Chi-Min Way" they will be supported with Ammo, Weapons and "Advisors" by the North.

Till the War goes on "Uncle Ho" realize that more than Advisors will be needed in the South...so he sent more and more Regulars down.

[hienhao]

@Mafajusi It's Ho-Chi-Minh Way not min

[milo1605]

@Chouji111111 Viet Cong is the army who is trying to fight the USA and North Vietnamese is people who live in the North include Viet Cong and normal peoples P/s:vietcong in vietnamese is Việt Cộng

[lithopoonwit]

America as well as England has a secret history of huge financial operations in favor of Communism. The Banking world, the Rockefeller's "philantrophy" etc. The OSS and the CIA are agents lying and murdering according to Lenin's program of world conquest. Nothing else. Special operations,SEALS, it's all trained homosexual sociopath's murdering for World-Sovietism. That's the real truth about so-called "conservative" America.

[lithopoonwit]

American international Corporation was founded to aid the Soviet Union. The gold stolen from the Czar, was now called "Soviet-gold" and deposited in Guaranty trust,it's director Max May, was member of board Russian Commercial Bank. President Wilson organised a special passport for Lenin on his return to the Revolution which was going on in Russia. Rockefellers and Morgan's fanatically supported Bolshevism. Wilson,FDR,Truman,all had Lenin's program as their leading guide.

[dmtau]

This video clip ,who ever post it on. . lies!1968 in Saigon.. Dmtau was there.Begining to end in 1970 the South VN Army,Navy,Air Force. . not any US army.Who ever can prove other ways. .please with me ! Dmtau is waiting!

[zac0926]

dude the brits couldnt do shit at this time america was the #1 power in the world

[patsyd80]

the british army would have put down the v.c and norhern veitnams no prob.

[dmtau]

You are "right".. .british may put down few rats in china town . .New York city.Look at at war in Afghanistan: British army doing in the battle ,run likes Fat Ducks.

[lithopoonwit]

Of course the son of a bitch was in civilian clothes when he was captured, he was a VietCong guerilla, not an NVA army regular. That does'nt mean that he was not a POW. I normally do not support this kind of instant justice, but under the circumstances i can understand what Loan did. The VC officer was caught with the bodies of an entire South Vietnamese family being butchered by this prick. When you're city is attacked and upside down and you are responsable for law and order, what can you do?

[lithopoonwit]

The U.S. forces broke the backbone of the NVA and communist vietcong guerilla's during Tet, there was no reason for pulling out. The media and the communist propaganda sentiments won the opinion of the public. That was all.

[bleucheese14]

Shut up. The US lost the war, Vietnam won. Enough said. Stop making excuses.

[lithopoonwit]

Vietnam was the victim of a war organised by French, British and American Communists. The U.S.troops didn't lose anything in Vietnam, they were being pulled out in 1973 by a sneaky, treacherous British policy, which was aimed at settling communism in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh was trained and paid for with Bank of England money. Paris,London and Washington cooperated with Hanoi to kill all these mothers with babies, and all these dumb peasants because there were too many of them anyway.

[lithopoonwit]

Communists are mass murderers. Vietnam was a blossoming Catholic nation, and too many babies were born, and things went too well, and that is why international Communism who has it's seat and HQ in the West (!) decided to organise this massacre. The U.S. ground troops are not to be blamed, they were being used. They were never meant to win the war. Though the've fought well and gained most of the victories of the war, it was treason from the beginning on, that's why they had to leave.

[bleucheese14]

Sure. Nixon had Kennedy assassinated. The Berlin Wall fell because of Muslim extremists. The Great Depression was caused by Jewish money laundering. See I can come up with any loony but slighty plausible idea, too!

[spimonk]

What CBS correspondant John Lawrence fails to mention is that General Loan executed a member of a Viet Cong assassination squad tasked with killing South Vietnamese police and their families. Eddie Adams, the photographer, later called Loan a "hero" and regretted that his famous photograph had been misinterpreted by many to vilify Loan.

[djlagomorph]

Well, I'm a coward and very evil. But I'm German not British, lol.

[dmtau]

The Band of Brothers

[dmtau]

Who ever say England in neutral in VN War ! That mean they are Idiot or bad!The "R" stay in Cambodia land what that mean? Mean R =Royal England.1978 when VN Army come to save Cambodian ,VN took R ,who in there?English!

[calicheSCOT]

For a start its Britain not England. Everyone says Britain was neutral, because it was. Just look it up please. I think your getting it mixed up with Australia. And Cambodia was an independent nation, and before that it belonged to the French. Dont you mean the Khmer Rouge when you mean "R"?

I'm British (well, Scottish) but I'm neither a coward nor evil...

[dmtau]

How ever you said!But you don't prove it!

Now Dmtau say & prove it!Dien Bien Phu. .England order to all Nato forces go to French.From French went to Vietnam in Dien Bien Phu. . According by AP!And VN from Uncle Ho Chi Minh .

[dmtau]

The England is cowards than French. Dmtau like Great Mongols. .because they were Honor in the battle ! Not likes Britain scare to show up. . Look at Iran today. . .England??????

[calicheSCOT]

You've got some very unique views on the world I will give you that at least.

[dmtau]

Did you see movie The Band of Brathers?If don't ! Must see.The World today so clear.The real Independance countries are:Russia,VN,North Korea,Monggols,Laos,Cambodia,I­ran,Israel,Venezula,1/2 US..but very all US. .the rest under rule of UK

[dudeyfeb88coach]

of course there was virtually no mass media covering british empire at the their height of exploitation and atrocities and cos it happened after ww2 it dont get get talked about instead they point fingers at others just for being more successful at trade and having better quality of life

[queensrgt1986]

the uk now is a haven for every eastern european scumbag-slag, and every other cunt, from around the woerld.

[dudeyfeb88coach]

totally off the area of what i was talking about , but whatever . immigrants often breath a bit of fresh air into the uk

[Exmech2]

Don't feed the trolls.

[Panther2051]

americans deserve FEMA concentration camps president obama will fuck them good and teach those punks a lessen they will never forget

[dmtau]

Thanks to post these video clips to tell the truth about Vietnam War. . .all that by cowards England!

[calicheSCOT]

The Vietnam war was fought between the US, South Vietnam and North Vietnam. Great Britain was neutral.

[dmtau]

"Great Britain" is mean cowards & evil

[Lachausis]

@calicheSCOT You forgot to mention China and Russia.

[calicheSCOT]

@Lachausis Quite right, sorry!

[zekeooo2]

@calicheSCOT  you also forgot to mention australians, new zealanders, canadians and south koreans

[mrthuvi1]

@Lachausis They provided equipment, food, weapon, ammo,... but no solder.

[Lachausis]

@mrthuvi1 Dig deeper! They sent pilots to chase American bombers and fighter aircraft.

[cmonconan]

@calicheSCOT Brittain is never neutral...google city state london, here is where the money all comes from.. all of it.. neutral? yes sure guns dont kill people right?

[GodlessMartyr666]

@cmonconan guns kill people as much as cars transport them and food nourishes them... What the activists fail to underscore the fact that it's less about the what and more about the who, when , where and how that matters...

[Greatherlorre]

@calicheSCOT

Also South Korea, Australia and New Zealand, and secretly China and the Soviet Union.

I also believe that the ROC and the Philippines where involved.

[calicheSCOT]

@Greatherlorre Don't forget Laos, Thailand and Cuba too!

[captainCanuck96]

@calicheSCOT their also was 30000 canadian in that war

[OrthodoxDarwinist]

@calicheSCOT

+ Canadians + Australia + small contingents of other random countries.
