Hearts and Minds Documentary: Prostitution Depiction

[jimbrown257]

Somebody get that guy a board with some wheels on it.

[4855712]

You say the exact same thing over different sites. Why don't you shut the fuck up or back up your assertions. What country pumps more free money, food and effort into helping the world's needed than the US? Billions and billions go to Africa all the way down to Japan sunami relief.

What land was "harvested"? Be exact and back it up with proof - not argument. By the way, asswipe, US rebuilt Japan on its own accord. We could have just as easily walked the fuck away.

[megatroll]

Nothing new here.

The USA are a fascist military empire which massacres and exploits the poor and helpless of this world in order to expand to cover the planet with their bases (the US equivalent of imperialism).

The population is brainwashed into radical nationalists who worship the military as a godlike entity and oppose any questioners.

They install and back dictators until the time is right to "harvest" the land, then they bomb, invade and occupy it.

Americans = Disgusting pigs!

[Dtchmastrkilla7]

i think that claiming anti-americanism is anti-democratic.

[xspartanX3x]

I feel sad about saying this but I can't stop.... at 2:34 that guy is hauling ass.

[hillbillyvol]

I would like to see the entire film. Business people don't mind war as there is a lot of money to be made by all involved. Legal as well as illegal. The war craps mostly on the innocent.

[skbvn2]

On the front is mobilizing people to see that this is a tragic truth of the fine, does this then maybe the U.S. government has done better on other countries such as Iraq war situation really not pathetic

[area51er6]

Air force- blue/beige

Army- green/beige

[ErockUMD]

I just watched this film for my Vietnam course; I recommend everyone see this. It really makes you think about the Vietnam conflict and what really went on during it.

[BrendaQG]

All things considered, this is a country where the people wanted to do business with americans. Yes prostitution, but there were many other legit businesses. There was prostitution around millitary bases in the first world war, in france, as well.

It happens in Iraq too. Just not as openly.

[shigeru0111]

I think that given the history of the Military practices I.E. Guantanamo Bay, I do feel that Peter Davis is just showing the American People the truth of what really goes on in the military. Our strings have been pulled, and we should thank Peter Davis for showing the American Peole the truth. He does not seem to be an anti-American, he is just telling the truth, at a time when a lot of people were not. Sometimes the truth hurts.

[jvrlopez]

lol @ 2:23, chief going off with some girl.

[vietcongak]

wat movie is this??

[jolmonline]

further into the movie it's even worse; you actually see two guys with prostitutes in bed. No way you could put that on youtube, though-shows nudity and everything. A lot of people get exploited in war, civilians and soldiers. It's sad.

[fedroger]

Isn't that special

[juryi]

yes, here we have the brave heroes that freed poor vietname from evil. they risked their lives 24/7. MY ASS. they just wanted to do it somewhere else other than america where prostitution is illegal. i bet their wives rather have them dead.

[DirkMcQuigly]

My lord you're an idiot....guess you didn't realize that vietnam era GIs were draftees...

[smackitupNflipit]

Only a small percentage of them were draftees.. most of them were regular volunteers.

[smackitupNflipit]

The American GI's that went over there to fight for your ungrateful relatives' freedom were braver than you will be in ten lifetimes. So why don't you show some respect.

[singingknivesrecords]

Sorry, who are ungrateful and what for?

[singingknivesrecords]

That last question was directed at smackitupNflipit whose comment, I've just noticed, was posted 10 months ago.

Great documentary by the way. Definitely worth making the effort to get hold of it.

[shillyshallyz]

We're the American allied forces, we've come to protect you, open up!

All the girls were raped, then shot in the head. The mothers were executed, and babies were thrown into the air and shot at, then kicked like balloons. The fathers were taken onto helicopters and dropped from 100 m above the ground.

WHORES: you're safe with US, open the legs and stay that way!

GOOKS: we rape and we kill you! (we'll say "the communists did it" - not US - LOL)

[bigblackbasterd]

Bastard

[sonhuynh200]

@shillyshallyz You are a person that goes around and causes trouble. You claim on your post here that you support America/US. I just went into your homepage and you have a French flag all over it, and you write that you hate America and the Jews etc. Stop being an idiot you idiot.

[DirkMcQuigly]

@juryi - riiiight, like there are NO vietnamese prostitute in the US today....nahhh, they're SOOO pious

MY ASS.

[wox77]

I love sex, I hate war and all the stuff there was in that video..

does that make me a sinner?

[AveIvy]

Great question.

[nerakalove]

holy shit

[888zzz]

they were forced to abandon the countryside because of our intense bombing and survive any way they could. saigon grew to 10 times its original size. more bombs were dropped on vietnam than all sides dropped during wwii. thanks righteous america for your imperialism.

[isilder]

Well, the prostitutes are prostitutes and the vietnamese men will visit them when its dark and they cannot be recognised.

There a lot of tenuous marraiges. when such a prostitute gets pregnant, she arranged a "husband" , who only visits to keep up appearances and the only reason to visit is.. obvious.

[Bulmer39]

I would have found a nice Vietnamese women to bring me love and peace in our minds and raise a family with her while being away at a shitty war like that and some day try my very best to bring her and her family home with me. Screw you

racist bastards.

[tednguyen]

vietnam should of killed every viet hooker who touched any of those dirty fat white bastards and niggers...any viet whore in usa dating a white boy should be whipped like a dog

[YonomaC]

Nobody is living for you guy...family first always, when your kid or parent is starving or have no roof over their head you'll do what you can with your body and mind to deter that right? Yes, I agree it can be uncomfortable to see a viet women with an ignoramus american but that's their life. You're what's wrong in Vietnam...telling people how to live. When you understand women somewhat maybe you'll grow up Ted.

[tednguyen]

vietnam should of killed every viet hooker who touched any of those dirty fat white bastards and niggers...any viet whore in usa dating a white boy should be whipped like a dog

[hoctor]

leave the people of the world alone USA, China, Russia and everyone live finally in peace and not profits

[quyhac]

As for those of you who are simply calling them whores, it dehumanizes them.  Facing economic hardships, living in the countryside, making less than a dollar a day, the choices are limited. Thus to put food in their mouths, clothes on their childrens' back, that's the route taken.

What angers me even more is how loser white Americans, Europeans, Australians come to my motherland and simply think having sex with prostitutes is what makes Viet Nam beautiful.

[YonomaC]

Wow, finally an intellectual who can actually speak rationally on this subject. People think women want to become prostitutes outside the US? Man, the mass will always be predictably ignorant.

[joshig1983]

"whore" means "prostitute." If they are having sexual intercourse for money, the dictionary says they are whores. I doubt there are many whores that are just doing it for fun. No matter where you find them, it tends to be a despirate situation. To some degree, almost every woman markets their sexuality or beauty, though.

They are doing it because they are despirate for an alternative. If rich people didn't come, it would be worse for them. Maybe they'd simply starve.

[quyhac]

Very interesting video. As far as the military acting in moral judgement at all times, that seems to be an idealistic standpoint. In military occupations, and especially in wars, military will act irrationally. Last year I studied in Ha Noi Viet Nam, and our entire study abroad group actually interviewed three prostitutes for a sociological study, and seem in this clip is still vividly present in Viet Nam today. Prostitution is as old as day.

[donkeydio]

me love u long time

[deptrai1989]

You communists, there are more whores in Vietnam now than there was back then.

[TheCOMMENTAT0R]

Sex Slaves

[deptrai1989]

huh? No, there's no sex slaves in Vietnam, just whores. That's Cambodia...

[TheCOMMENTAT0R]

ok mentaly and emotionaly controled whores then ..better?

[deptrai1989]

hmm...no....lol....more like financially controlled whores..lol..but they are only whores because the government don't give them health care so unless they do it, they have no way of preventing them or their love ones from death.

[MrBigBlackDick]

Fuck you midget gook. NIggers be fucking gook bitches on the daily. They love our big black dicks. Your mom so short she sucked my dick standing up gook. NIggers kill gooks fuck you come do something pussy gook.

[YonomaC]

Dick just relax. You needn't worry about vietnamese. Concentrate on who's really getting 'fucked' daily...blacks of the US. So viets are short but black moms are synonymous with grossly obese. You're why people around the world laugh at blacks, because the US markets your type...imbecile. You obviously suffer from Oedipus Complex, cause 'mammy' screwed you. Well it's apparently mutual between you two now eh? You're sad Richard.

[kellythestrange]

wow big vocabulary you have there. you said gook five times. i'm sure he doesn't appreciate you calling him that just the same as you wouldn't appreciate a white person calling you a nigga. i say white person in that refrence because all you "black" guys call each other nigga and its all cool like they just called you a brother.

watch your mouth.

[mytran80]

no worries ,mr.bigblackdick is anti-vietnamese ,he goes to viet related videos to insults ,and demoralize the vietnamese in any way because his country was invaded by the vietnamese.

[VietDogGooks]

Fuck you viet hooker

me lub you long time G.I.

sucky suck $5

[kolst8406]

The U.S's pre WW2 policy of critcizing colonialism was correct. We should have allowed elections to occur in Viet Nam as agreed to in the Geneva Peace Accords. Viet Nam taught our warmongers nothing; hence, Iraq. Eisenhower warned of the military industrial complex; fifty years later it's 100 times worse. We have an imperialist foreign policy papered over with pretty rhetoric. The level of our political discourse is infantile and mendacious. I am not proud to be an American.

[YonomaC]

Mendacious indeed! You seem very hip on the reality of our nations affairs. Word to the wise, I'd leave before a second depression hits. All signs lead to economic collapse. I've conversed with many other businessmen here from foreign countries and we all agree that the outlook is grim. The dollar is steadily dropping. Living expenses up, wages the same or lowering. Hell, I'm closing shop in America and going to the East.

[vnRock]

After I watch the video, I'm glad VC won the war. Vietnamese dont' want to be a slave to any foreigner. Not back then, not now, and not forever!!

[laufuman]

you said right!

[TheCOMMENTAT0R]

Oh!! so that's why that country is so fucked up..Your own stupidity

[vnRock]

Huh? are you in your damn mind? what's that country so fucked up about?

[vntiger]

way to go south viet nam! you prostitute your people for the "liberators"! i think if America ever did win i'd be a man hoe in that country. maybe it was the yankees who brought aid/hiv to viet nam...

[luniiinha]

it's not that it is anti-american. it's just the truth!

[ixaLpHaxOmEgAxi]

mostdimentionless is a fag i wish you were the 3 million

[cotwild]

how much did they pay for boom boom back then? i wish i would have hit some $ss over there. it sounds mighty cheap even today.

[mytran80]

hey cotwild, it was pretty cheap back then due to desperation during a war conflict ,but hey i bet you would suck a dick for a piece of bread if you havent eaten for weeks right? there should be an american whore around your neighborhood that offers a $10 blowjob so theres no need to visit vietnam for one,whores are everywhore dip shit. sincerely communist party of vietnam.

[ronoanh]

that cotwild, probably a dick sucker too.  probably a pedophiles.

[cotwild]

whores are cheaper in vietnam. that's why i'm going over there on a sex trip soon. see ya later.

[danwild6]

Hey William old boy how does it feel too know your PM(whoever it is)sucks our President's dick(and likes it too). Britain is America's ass slave.

[mostdimentionless]

Yeah, poison a nation with 'agent orange' murder 3 million of them. Drop more tonnage of bombs than all parties did in WW2 then try to tell them how good you are. Fucking savage Yankee scum.

[Etherwar]

I don't think this class or any opinions offered by its students are anti-American... but we treasure free speech and so you are welcome to your opinion. Have a happy New Year!

[trinitydocumentary]

I'm one of the students that analyzed this documentary and my point was not to be anti-US/military but more in how it was depicted by mainstream media in contrast to its depiction by the administration of then. I meant to question the short and long-term effects of the depictions and ethical actions by a military and its government in the presence of a transparent war. This does not only apply to the US but also to any government and its military.

- JLR -

[trinitydocumentary]

My topic wasn't about being anti-US, but about analyzing the relationship between media, government, and military depictions and how that affects the domestic and international view.

- JLR -

[nukeusa911x2]

@mostdimentionless you do know the US didnt start this war right? also you do know the northern communists killed many people from the south as well...you cant go around blaming the worlds problems on the US as always you idiot. learn how the vietnam war started instead of just watching "napalming vietnam"videos you ignorant kid.
