@MirrorOfInsanity25 I read about you in my history book. You guys are the "hawks", right?

Note slow method of manual reloading @ about 6:30. Australian ground crew redesigned the ammo boxes so they were removable. This meant they could be preloaded on the ground and swapped with the empty boxes making turnaround quicker.

Awesome book describing first hand very detailed account of a huey pilot in Vietnam: 'Chickenhawk' - by Robert Mason.

Get it.

Thank you so much for this footage! I wish I could have been there with you guys. Hearing the details from you makes this the best I've seen. Thank God we had such heroic people like you serving our nation at such an ungrateful time. Michael Bowman

@SuperMegaCyrus Why? Very Nice? We know more than ever what war looks like. Gunners strafing indiscriminately is not how human beings conduct themselves. I'm only embarrassed to be viewer No. 7.

@HENJAM48 shit happenes in war

[SuperMegaCyrus]

@HENJAM48 When the enemy is everywhere you shoot everywhere. Don't like don't watch

[handydude6]

@HENJAM48 We never ever fired indiscriminately!!!!!!!! There were always, air commanders flying up high telling us Exactly where to fire and when, and for how long. There were free fire zones, desingnated by guess who, the President himself.

@HENJAM48 Tell me who said that: You will never know war or how it looks like - till you experience your self

[TheRalphus666]

@HENJAM48 Blowing up cars indiscriminately killing innocent civilians, little kids and people who are at the wrong place at the wrong time going to the market just to try and knock out a Military vehicle.Is that how we should conduct ourselves???Setting off bombs in a elementary school like the terrorists in russia is a better alternative.If your in the jungle and you know helicopters are gonna be coming through and your walking around,well then that person is a idiot and shit happens
