You LRRPs had some serious courage. My dad was a LRRP in the 173rd Airborne Division ,74th inf. detachment and close friends with Staff Sergeant Laszlo Rabel, the only LRRP to recieve the Medal of Honor. I recently became very interested in what it was to be a LRRP. After reading many books i have gained a lot of respect for the discipline, courage and team loyalty practiced by all of the LRRPs. Lazlo Rebel is the perfect example of this. He sacrificed his life to save his team. Thanks LRRPs
@Youngmarine0109 yeah, he said so. that term was used to described the navy seals but the green paint for camouflaging was not exclusively for the navy seals
@1140arturo I feel 100% bad for all the Vietnamese people who suffered when America started an unjust war and bombed, used chemical weapons like Vietnam was a fucking test lab, killed and raped.
If you could go back I hope they killed your ass bad because of your ignorance!
China makes the most shoes and look where they're at now, the world largest economy and growing making America scared....
I strongly recommend everybody here to save a litle cash and travel to Vietnam next vacation...I did and was an amazing experience. I found a lot o vet (both sides), but the war is past for then. They have a very beaultifull country. And all vietnamese are very, very friendly with the foreing, including from US. Accutally, the americans who visit Nam have a lot of respect for then. Well, this is my tip. Better then wach all this Nam videos is to be there!!! Respect both sides!!! Peace!!!
@buddiiee Last time I checked America lost the war... and yeah you killed 5 times as many because 4 of those 5 was civilians. Maybe 5 times as many because you used chemical warfare that is illegal? maybe because you used napalm that is inhuman and illegal? Maybe because of all the villages that got massacred by American forces?
Want to talk about corruption, eh? what started the war from the beginning?
If you don't mind killing civilians for decades to come with chemical weapons let's bomb your town/whole of America with it and you can experiences that shit.. and then when you say it was inhumane and complain about severe birth defects in new born children and when your unable to eat your own produced food and most of the ecosystem collapsed.. we can say come on it's just war... don't be a fucking idiot!
I'm not saying it doesn't suck, I'm saying that complaining about inhumanity in war is silly. When locked in a total war there is no logical limit to the force that may be applied by one side. Don't be naive.
@EvolutionaryLoophole Naive? don't think I am the one being naive. I am not the one that think it's okay to chemical weapons against defenceless people that have to suffer through decades to come because of an unjust war...
If you can't handle a war playing by the rules you shouldn't start wars left and right...
Well k75romeofive, K Company was one sorry ass unit in Vietnam, except for a few men who have had their reputation tarnished because K co. had too many pot heads and runners, they were in the fucked up fourth, and were known for running.
@Carbine505 Spoken like a true REMF and Sagion MACV Warrior. I'd hazard a guess and say the only time you left Base Camp was for R&R and returning to the States. I'd bet you came home with a chest full of I've been there medals of which 99% were written up by your roommate after you wrote him one.
One inaccuracy should be noted, the LRRP's still exist to a certain extent, I belong to an NG unit that is a LRS (long range Surveillance) all members required to be airborne/ranger qual. so they are still around.
While this documentary seems very accurate and well done, it is important to clarify that the first guy to speak, Robert Stack, is a fraud. He was not a LRRP as he claims and was removed from the 75th Ranger Regiment association. He has a history of impersonation including his claim to have been a K company 75th Inf Rangers.

The US LRRP didnt win the way. US lost the war with vietnam , no one talks about that.
IMO the sri lankan LRRP is kick ass. they defeated the most deadly and dangerous terrorist outfit the world has ever seen, the LTTE.
Also they had decades of real battle experience, which i think is more important than any training, and also mental toughness
