theres no real excuse for these soldiers fighting in Vietnam. The could have become draft dodgers and escaped over the border to good ol Canada OR served time in a US slammer. Did they really have to fight? Compare Ali the boxer.
Many in what was South Vietnam feared the rule of their communist masters from what had been North Vietnam. Despite the creation of a united Republic of Vietnam in 1975, many in the South feared retribution once it was found out that they had fought against the North during the actual war.
@TuffLuck777 no one even reads your turgid ramblings, they are trite and utterly banal.
The "free world"?
Tell that to detainees at Guantanamo bay being drugged and interrogated without due process. You need to get some form of education, rather than just spouting out incomprehensible lies and disinformation about the Vietnam war.
The rule exerted in Ho Chi Minh City (formally Saigon) was repressive as this was seen as a bastion of ‘Americanisation’. Traditional freedoms were few. It has been estimated that 65,000 Vietnamese were executed after the end of the war with 1 million being sent to prison/re-education camps where an estimated 165,000 died.
Red Holocaust: "...approximately 60 million people and perhaps tens of millions more, and that this "Red Holocaust" – the peacetime mass killings and other related crimes against humanity perpetrated by Communist leaders such as Joseph Stalin, Kim Il Sung, Mao Tse-tung, Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot—should be the centerpiece of any net assessment of communism. He states that the aforementioned leaders are "collectively guilty of holocaust-scale felonious homicides."
@CaptainBluebear08 lol how are you Comrade? Yes, the yanks lost, but they have trouble accepting it, hence all the low B grade movies glamourizing themselves
why do they thank these pathetic cowards, Burn in Hell Vets, you fought a war that you LOST understand that, get over it ego-trippers. Wheres the compensation for the kids in Vietnam suffering the effects of agent orange right now? There is no compensation.
Never recognise these vets, Never-then you do the whole world a favour
'When turned over to the press and Government by the photographer, those “unofficial” photographs provided the grounds for a court martial. Haeberle's[photographer assigned to Charlie Company] personal images (owned by himself and not the US Government) showed hundreds of villagers who had been killed by U.S. troops. More significantly, they showed that the dead were primarily women and children, including infants.'
@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Without that commitment, Communism would have swept all the way to the Malacca Straits that is south of Singapore and of great strategic importance to the free world. If you ask people who live in these countries that won the war in Vietnam, they have a different opinion from the American news media. The Vietnam War was the turning point for Communism.
@TuffLuck777 Fact: The domino theory was accurate. The ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand stayed free of Communism because of the U.S. commitment to Vietnam. The Indonesians threw the Soviets out in 1966 because of America's commitment in Vietnam.
A fanatic who knows nothing about the matter uh; I have more first account knowledge on the subject then you have on how to wipe your own ass pig!
WTF are you rambling about!?? Those sentences made no sense, not to mention being grammatically horrific. Do you even live in the U.S? Do you personally know ANY Vietnam Veterans or Vietnamese /Hmong or Cambodian refugees or their families!?? Because I do. Do us all a favor stick your head in the toilet and drown yourself!
this one went straight into my favorites! thank you for your service, and welcome home to all my brothers and sisters who served! I am a disabled Viet Vet, I guess the agent orange will do the job that the cong could not.
This Is My Tribute To All Service Men And Women THANKS For Your Sacrifices!
we all need to honor our soldiers for what they do for us the next time you see soldier tell them thank you you might be surppirzed when they say you are welcome
In 1967, an internacional association of academics under philosopher Bertrand Russell established a War Crimes Tribunal, which compared events in Vietnam to crimes perpretated by the Nazis during WWII.
This is even before My Lai.
To all the vets n their praisers here: you and them are the scum of Humanity.
@caravaggio31 It's too bad the South Vietnamese intellectuals never had a chance to sit on that board to represent themselves because they were murdered. The genocide that followed at the hands of the Communists and Khmer Rouge was on a cosmic scale; the slaughter of the South Vietnamese people for freedom, indigenous Hmong mountain people and Cambodian people still cry for justice. THEIR blood is on the hands of commie sympathizers like you.Your a coward and will always be one.
@caravaggio31 Just like I expected; you can't respond with any reasonable fact or intellectual argument to back your vomit! Maybe your children will get a good taste of the commie values that you support so dearly. I’d like to see you debate your communist ideals to the families that are refugees of the Vietnam War. Enjoy your freedom of speech that the men and women on the Vietnam War fought and died for. You will die a forgotten coward, but the legacy of the Nam veterans will echo forever.
@TuffLuck777 Just like I expected, the old speech as ever of a fanatic who knows nothing on the matter he's talking abou acting like a brain washed average guy.
And, of course, who doesn't agree with the Vietnam War and all this shit people you praise, is a "communist".
LOL
You will die a forgotten fascist, I hope that because as the Communism itself this plague, Fascism, will be vanished from Earth.
When you talk to a some Vietnam stop when and if they talk to you about Vietnam for at least a half our of your time then you will know that you really thanked a Veteran, even if you are one thank you for supporting our fellow troops or anyone else who does this.
To MyaHolburnz... It was a Democrate (JFK) that put them in the war to begin with!! So do your homework before you post!! Regardless of who did what, it was the awful treatment of the soldiers who were only doing what their country was asking of them. God Bless all Vets, from all wars. Thank you for your service.
lastly, all countries were involved in the vietnam war should not have been involved. I dont blame the soldiers but the governments. Vietnam should have killed off each other until communist won and if the communist vietnam were to go to another country to take over....THENNNN we step in and kill the mother fuckers.
If they served and died, they have every right to be on that wall, War messes with everything you have inside, you don't always make the best decisions.
Fabulous video. I will never forget the short time I spent with RFTW in Jackson, MS, back in 07... Thanks is not enough for our veterans... God bless!
Thank you, Due West! This is a beautiful tribute to our veterans AND to the healing which many vets feel on Run For The Wall. "We ride for those who can't." Hugs, Anne
i am so sorry i accidently gave you a thumbs down meant to give you a thumbs up!!! on your vietnam vet comment...husband is also a vnv...cant figure ou how to fix it...again i am so sorry...please post this so people will know...
To Larry and Karl U.S. Army..The song "Mine eyes have seen the glory"..should be dedicated to you and all Vietnam vets...WHat you did over there protected us from worse. God bless you brothers.
Proud I am of my husband who served in 'Nam ..... Proud I am of all those who serve that we might be free ...... (even those who abuse that freedom and little value it) ..... Beautiful video ......
Nicely done; a wonderful tribute to ALL of these heroes who answered the call to serve their country- no matter how right or wrong the war was. And its shameful- how we treated them so badly when they returned...

13th stpr put your finger back in your ass and get away from the keyboard. You are pathetic and I hope as many Vietnam Vets as possible post a commet here about you. The vietnam vet fought and died so you can have the right to say crap like this and not get shot. Tell them thank you or pack your shit and move to Baghdad you traitor.
Hiding with Bush? No jimtraner,I doubt that he had the guts to do that!, he was probably with slick willie clinton, over seas, and bad mouthing Our Country like any COWARD would do...
Dude fuck you some little 13 year old vietnamese kid shot my grandpa in the back of the head ass wipe you should go and see how they would treat your ass

Whats some lawful defences for the My Lai atrocity? Superior orders defence? (used by Nazis):
