Fall of Saigon: Vietnam War Documentary Film - CIA Archival Footage (1975)

[TripeSmuggler]

Well, that's not the Vietnam I've seen, it's a delightful country. Imagine what it would have been like if the American bullies got their own way and made yet another Isreal / Iraq

[MrJodyh54]

The Army wanted to fight-Congress would not approve anymore funding. I have lived in Vietnam now 9 years, and what you have is a brainwashed society with no creativeness or individualism. Trust me-I have been a college lecturer here trying to assit them all this time. Vietnam-a must see for anyone with interest in the War or country. Still uncivilized in many ways, life is still cheap.

Shameful abandonment of South Vietnam by the yanks. Fvckin' cowards running away like that and leaving all their vietnamese workers to face the communists.

[VVIINNHH]

@Rentaghost76 The mass protest by the hippies caused the abandonment of South Vietnam, but we still have to respect the American soldiers!

[piwanabongo]

The politics of fear has been used by the west so many times to justify their actions: the communist domino effect, the war on terror..ad nauseum. Too bad the tax payer has to bear this enormous cost.

The Vietnam War just seemed like the last of the Red Scare bullsh*t from earlier but even now certain ppl are hella intent on making Muslims the new Communists so it kinda resembles that whole atmosphere. Gotta hate the scare tactics cuz some ppl will believe anything, which is how we end up with Cold Wars, Vietnam, Iraq, etc. How primative are we still? :(

[laz2thedouble]

As an OIF vet who was on the ground and had my own traumatic experiences, Vietnam looked like Hell. Such a shame that they Ddnt get the respect they deserved when they came home. however it sux that both wars were unnecessary and all those young men died for our policy-makers' bs. Smh.

I tell you who loses in any war; the ordinary people. The women, the children the old, the infirm. Not that they matter to your socialist vermin. What is it they say; you have got to crack a few eggs to make an omlete. Well try telling that to the thousands left without their loved ones. Oh yeh another point is those useless American military are trying to protect the freedom you lefties enjoy, so you can express your opinions even if it's a load of tosh.

[GoldenShellback1]

@stevecantlow No shit sherlock. If it wasn't for those feeble-minded right wing nutjobs using our military to invade other nations under the guise of freedom, those ordinary people you mentioned would still be alive today. Remember Iraq? Your boy Bush lied on that one and as a result not only ordinary people, women, and children died but American lives too. I heard Cheney is a multi-billionaire now.

[IceManLikeGervin]

Knowing what I know now about this war it was a bunch of useless US Military killing under the guise of liberation lies.

My Lai anyone?

Substitute communism with terrorism and it's the same old power elite war shell game nowadays still full of lies & deceptions.

Whenever a Nation does anything illegal or immoral it always uses National Security concerns as said justification and/or rational of said action(s).

[danmanjones]

This is what it looks like when a war of aggression fails completely.

Amazing slice of history

The Liberation of Saigon

[Lachausis]

Those NVA troops looked shit-scared while patrolling the streets. Their facial expression showed that they were scared of insurgence or uprising. These patrols looked pretty much vulnerable.

[frezdead1]

not a dirty war just communism on the rise. can't fight communism when you got your hands tied.

[TheVirtualthug]

dirthy war!
