@gerry103 You are either a liar or very I'll-informed. There was no "communist aggression" the Americans were just backstabbing betrayers.

[TheSovietSamurai]

This documentary has some great footage, but it's just pro-American propaganda and doesn't explain the true reasons of the war.

[stranger1229]

Wow, I've never seen this documentary before and I'm really digging it. Looking forward to watch it all.

[TheWagwun]

Chuck and Dexter in one project? OH MY LAWDS

[bman830]

@Pobinr yea just like u did too the people of lybia and the Africans no country is innocent Brits make mistakes too but only the US is pointed out and the French were in Vietnam too hope u knew that it's war civvis will be hurt no matter what

[pobinr]

What I don't like about this documentary is the way with the OTT background music it tries to portray the US soldiers as noble victims of the Vietcong.

Isn't it the other way round. They are in some one else's country shooting anything that moved, carpet bombing Hanoi etc & they killed 10 or 20 times as many has they lost.

[noetherianring]

This is incredible.

[FaceCandys]

Where do u come from ?!

[MrMedicinebox]

I'm very proud of Vietnam for kicking Yankee ass in this war. Long live Vietnam!

[MakepplQQthenRQ]

@MrMedicinebox Enjoying Eating Chinese shit for the next 1000 years Because of you beating the yanks countries like Thailand were the real winners

[TheLizardKing1967]

You want the truth about Vietnam. Check this out. Just type this into your Youtube search field > Entering into The Age of Darkness with Dr. Francis Boyle 4/4

[lb8068]

Would love to see a documentary on Vietnam from the NVA's or Viet Cong's POV.

[Papalazarou18]

Too be honest. Media won and stopped the war. If the US would have cencored and kept control over the media the war would have gone on a while longer. Props too the peasants in the NVA for fighting against a superpower

[nolifemerc]

i family member got it after 14 days, better to go rigth away ...rigth?

[evilbeaver181]

[elgrillo1986]

I think History Channel took notes on your request people and gonna make a documentary on this which is great.

[raybansinthedark]

L stop making shitty shows about antiques and the history of glue. This is what we want.

[raybansinthedark]

Cmon history channe

[ArmbaRProductionZ]

@incognito84 Lol how did US fail in iraq and afghan?

[Jurassicparkrules96]

@ArmbaRProductionZ iraq has a csmal civi war starting as for afghan we are not losing

[theodoregrimes]

I've watched all of this documentary series and I'm pretty sure there was NO mention of My Lai.

[gerry301]

@theodoregrimes Do you have a fetish for My Lai? I think most Americans know about My Lai. Its been stuffed down their throats for years. However some people understand it was much smaller than the Hue massacres, or the 33,000 village elders who were assassinated by the Vc. I haven't watched the entire series, yet there is something about systematic politically directed murder of innocents vs a loony Lt who orders everyone to kill, and a number of his company did what he ordered.

[fivemeomedia]

who the hell watches this and thinks oh this is badass i want to go to war this looks terrible

[Midnightryder7]

I was 5 yrs old when i saw images on tv of Vietnam..How long did this war last?..and why did america go there to begin with?

[incognito84]

@Midnightryder7 It lasted for ten years (1965-1975) but infantry combat mostly took place in the late 60s. America fought the war to stop the spread of Communism but in the end, America lost the war and millions of people died (soldiers and civilians).

[gerry301]

@incognito84 And the question many Americans asked was how could it happen. The answers are many, however mismanagement from the President and Secretary of Defense MacNamera were the main causes. Fighting a political war the administration played a political game of "what if we do this, what will they do?, lets try this and see how they respond. Maybe if we stop this they will see we want peace, etc.etc.". The military were thought too stupid to understand the complexities of war

[rucajuda]

@incognito84 us didnt loose no one wins or looses a war. good day sir

[incognito84]

@rucajuda I was in Vietnam last week (on vacation).

The sickle and hammer is everywhere. The Socialist Party is still in control and only recently did the country open it's market. Saigon was renamed to Ho Chi Minh city after the war (Ho Chi Minh fought against the Americans if you don't remember).

Unlike Korea, Vietnam bore no fruits nor did it trek down the path of Capitalism. To the contrary, it held onto it's Socialism. The US failed there just as it did in Iraq and will in Afghanistan.

[gerry301]

@Midnightryder7 The idea at the time was to stop communist aggression. Vietnam had been divided into the communist north and the free south. The US aided South Vietnam against a communist insurgency in the south. It grew from there to a major war. An understanding of world history immediately after the 2nd world war helps in understanding what took place and the thinking between the western world and the communist world.

[vegastyphoon]

Thanks to everyone that went over there. I was born in 1960, and remember seeing this on TV knowing that my older cousin's and neighbor's were there fighting. Viet Nam Vets are our Country's true heros.

[mihutube92]

I love voice of Michael C Hall from Dexter!

[HostileSausage]

this documentary was fucking baller. i wish history channel would stick with these types of shows and drop top shot and ice road truckers. i hate reality shows.

[Madara2233]

@HostileSausage same here lol

[TheJimozu]

@HostileSausage good luck with that man, history channel is slowly degenerating into the redneck channel it seems

[MinecraftPlanetChan]

@HostileSausage ffs ikr

[junglemonkeysex]

my grandfather vollunteered for two tours in vietnam. he just passed last week. we were going through his belongings and came acrossed his certificate for the bronze star that he never told us about. can anyone tell me how i can find out what he did? sorry about miss spellings, right hand is in a cast

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@junglemonkeysex you can make a request under the freedom of information act for a copy of your grandfather's military service record as long as you have his name and service number and the branch of service. contact the us military records office in saint louis, missouri

[junglemonkeysex]

@SocratesTheGadfly thank you. very much appreciated

[SocratesTheGadfly]

@junglemonkeysex you are welcome. several of my uncles fought in vietnam on both sides of my family and m father served in the decade before vietnam so i understand and appreciate their sacrifice for someone else's FREEDOM. my service ended after over 30 years of service post vietnam.

[junglemonkeysex]

@SocratesTheGadfly well i'd like to thank you for your service and sacrifices. my grandfather's ceremony was today and it was beautiful. he's at tahoma national cemetary with his fellow vietnam heroes along side veterans from many other conflicts. as a veteran, i think you'd be glad to know it went without a hitch and honored him perfectly. i'll be joining in a year and follow my own fathers footsteps and earning my airborne wings.

[DriestBiscuit]

Dam great upload hope it doesn't get taken down

[peugteobike]

I watched this last night on the history channel

[Dude10271]

3:11 - DEXTER!!!!!! :D

[BuddyWillis]

Where are the rest of the episodes?

IIRC there are 5 more...

[jaxortjackie05]

Fantastic series. Have read many books, seen many movies to try and get a feel of what it felt like to be there. Nothing has come close to this. I was a grade schooler at the time and now I know many vietnam vets. I now know why they never want to talk about any of it.

[blahbutt23]

my uncle was airborne got three purple hearts he said nothing about it but the pain shows in his personality all the time i respect him deeply

[area51er6]

2:20 wow good thinking!

[113kimber]

awesome series..

[xorn96]

Thanks to all those who served.

[Phoneman22]

thanks so much for uploading this, my dad served 68-69 mostly in chu lai

[Crazzyrahman]

On behalf to this day, I salute to heroes who fought in Vietnam. Thanks History channel for documenting the Vietnam war.
