by a chance I have read your comment with regard to Bien Hoa in 1968.
My uncle Helmut Lakaszus (born in Germany) has died in the 1/31/1968 there. Unfortunately, I have no information about the fact of his death. do you know companions of Him?
If my memory is correct the attack was made sometime in early 1968, a DVD on Tuy Hoa that I have states it was made in July 1968. I thought it was earlier than that but I may be wrong.
@dtrout9793 When I got to Tuy Hoa in Dec 68 they had no room at the inn for me. They had a little shed on the beach where mattresses were stored. I & a couple more guys slept on the beach on one of the mattresses. I lay there wondering if the VC come up out of the water & slit my throat. I didn't sleep that night. I can't remember if I slept there 1-3 nights. It was a long time ago. I was a clerk for a SP squadron in IN; I had to qualify every year. They made me train on 30-50 cal. guns in RVN.
Remember the nite well, I had to report to Operations, where I spent the nite manning one of the radios. The sucide squad of VCs did not make it off of the base. I worked at Base Ops and our gooney bird (C-47) was damaged and was out of service for quite awhile. It was used for out of country flights and supply runs within country. dtrout9793
I was there when this happened. I was in AGE and remember the night before the VC hit some guy in the maintenance shop dropped a big generator upstairs on the plywood floor and it sounded just like a bomb going off. Scared the crap out of everybody. The next night when the first Rescue C-130 had a satchel charge thrown in the bay and blew up, it sounded exactly the same as the generator. The next charge that blew up the second C-130 got everybody on their feet :) We all ran for the bunker.
Was there! The VC were in Loin cloth, because they came up from the beach, and a drain pipe system that drained from the center between the taxiway and runway. They were carriing very little fire pwer, but loaded with satchels charges, which they threw in the f100 intakes. They also got a C130.
Was in 33 TFW weapons, remember loading 250lb bombs on army chopers in exchange for steaks. Started with one chopper as the word spread we would trade bombs for steaks, we were loading as many as 5 a nite
I was on the flight line loading an F100 for the NM Air Guard when this attack took place. Interesting to see this video. I just felt blessed after it was over that they were after the aircraft and not us.

Ho chi Minh, Vietnam's communist founder, is a disguting TRAITOR and MURDERER. He was a member of the Third Communist International established in 1919 by Lenin. He gave up Paracel & Spratly archipelagos with large oil resources to China. He even ordered to murder his own mistress named Nong thi Xuan when she threatened to disclose her sexual relationship with him since that would destroy his image as a "Father" of Vietnam who "sacrifices" his whole life for Vietnam revolution.
PRO-COMMUNIST SENATOR "HANOI" JOHN KERRY SUPPORTS BRUTAL COMMUNIST VIETNAM BY KILLING VIETNAM HUMAN RIGHTS ACT 2009 (H.R. 1969) IN THE SENATE.
He considers dirty money and economic ties with Vietnam much more important than human rights values. Consequently, Vietnam, has waged a new crackdown on democracy activists such as Father Nguyen van Ly and lawyers Nguyen van Dai and Le thi Cong Nhan, who were given unfair, harsh sentences of several years in prison for their democracy activities.
If America had not started the war, South Vietnam would have fallen into communism in 1954 and more Vietnamese would have been murdered in cultural revolutions like those launched by Mao in China (20 million deaths) & Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (2 millions)

We headed for the bunkers - then thought we would rather see them comming. So we turned up our stereos and got on top of the bunkers. (the high ground) Thank God they hit the flight line and not the hooches / barracks. Augee was in an alert truck when a hand gernade landed in the back. By the time he got to a bunker he realised it was a dud.
I don't know how they got on base - beside someone F-up bigtime! Who ever took them down? A big thanks....
I am still a bit bewildered about the whole thing. I was turned 20 years of age out there on post at Tuy Hoa. Attack-sentry dog handler, 31st SPS during 1970. You "big picture" people can say what you will.....but, I still miss "Falla"; 105 lb german-shepherd that I can only hope is guarding God's perimeter, and maybe, chasing those crabs at low tide.......I don't think many there even knew we K-9's were out there in the darkness, except maybe the Oscar tower or Golf bunker guys
The NVA created and essentially was the VC, an imaginary propaganda front with a bullshit politcal fornt the NLF, they were hardcore trained terrorists sent down in droves form North Vietnam in 1959-60 from the communist glob that terrorized and took control through the most heinous means of half a country.
Ho chi Minh is never a nationalist but a disgusting TRAITOR. He was a member of the Third Communist International known as "Comintern" established in 1919 by Lenin to fight for the overthrow of the international bourgeoisie and for the creation of an international Soviet republic (the Soviet Union). Therefore, Ho chi Minh must work for interests of the Soviet Union, not for "selfish" interests of Vietnam. In other words, he is just a tool of the Soviet Union to conquer the world.

France had brought catholic civilisation to Vietnam,the beginning of viet nam's blossoming, and after ww2, French and international zionists,who hate christians had trained,armed and financed Ho Chi Minh and his gang, to go about killing and destroying the great culture of viet nam, under the false flag of freedom. French are as much guilty as Americans who didn't really wanted to fight communism, but only wanted to profit of war,arms and drugs selling.
According to the UNHCR (UN High Commissioner for Refugees) estimate, at least 500,000 boat people lost their lives on their jouney for freedom, not mentioning to 95,000 army officials of former South Vietnam died in "re-education " camps established by communists.

AMERICA LOST VIETNAM WAR BECAUSE OF ITS BIASED MEDIA!!!
Since anti-war, liberal American media always focused on American and Vietnamese civilian casualties, and ignored the enemy's casualties and Vietcong's atrocities against its own people as in the case of Hue's massacre of 5000 civilians in 1968, to mislead Americans to become against Vietnam war. Ho chi Minh, founder of Vietnam's communist party once said, " the war is not decided in Vietnam's battle fields but in CBS studio!"
I was on the flight line when the shit hit the fan, working on the alert row. Went out with the augmentees, and the second dead gook pictured was mine,
How dare you are, saying that the vietnamese communists were worse than Nazi-fascism. They had a small say? Who the hell do you think you are to talk rubbish like that? Fuck..what is wrong with you guys? Learn some history!
My Father Was Security Police At Tuy Hoa Air Base In '69 we both posted vids Of His 4 years in the Air Force... Check Them Out If You Recognize Any Soldier Please Contact Us Interested In Reuniting
second, the united states did not lose, yes ill give you the "but they pulled out" debate, but there was no declaration of surrender by the united states, there was just a simple, the north will no longer attack the south...which was obviously broken, therefore, the US did not lose
thats your interpretation. In reality the US did not defeat the communists in the battlefield. The aims of the north was unification. The north achieved its objectives the USA didnt. The war with China was in 1979 after the Vietnam conflict. To say the USA didnt lose is absurd.
so...what your saying is that the US didnt win one the battlefield at all..all battles were lost, the vietnamese defeated the US, the vietnamese now control the US...cause that is what defeat means...i dont like to use it, but between the US and VC, it was a draw, the VC did DEFEAT the south...after they promised not to invade...do you also believe that the North Koreans beat the US...and the US lost conflict in the middle east
the usa did not defeat the communists on the battlefield yes.The usa won the battles yes. The usa lost the war yes. Winning battles is not associated with winning wars in assymetric warfare. The USA DID NOT MEET its objectives in the Nam conflict. THE WAR ON TERROR IS INCONCUSIVE. In assymetric warfare the resistence only neeeds to outlast the invasion and occupation. If the terrorists are still a viable fighting force they have won. In nam this was the case resist until withdrawal a clear obj
@50poiuyt :FOR VC CRIMINAL WAR 50POIUYT: Communist criminal, defends the communist military dictatorship of the Vietnam. Either man in the life and goes to defend the human rights and the democracy in the Vietnam. You and Pol Pot of Cambodia are murderous cowards, who live in the luxury and the people of the Vietnam lives in the Misery and the dictatorship.
@sexymalcom1970 I heard a story of a US colonel telling a N.Viet colonel at the peace talks in Paris that the US won every battle and the Viet agreed. But he said it is also irrelavant. A profound statement.
@nor888vast695 dont believe everything a soldier tells you they are clouded by military doctrine, they see events as campaigns, targets etc. research FSB Ripcord thats one of many battles the US lost. Also check the border battles at Con Thein, The withdrawal from Khe Sanh. These are clear military defeats by the PAVN and NLF aka Viet Cong and NVA.
The Viet Minh fought the French, Japanese, French again, US over 30 years. They just wanted their country to be free from foreigners. They paid a heavy price for that in lives and and their country a toxic time bomb. Right after the Germans left France the French we back to Indo-China and ultimately got the shit kick outta them or I should say Foreign Legion. The French: they're the great example of cowards. Had the Legion do their dirty work. They didn't lift a finger in WWII or Indo-China.
The US left Viet Nam in a hasty withdrawal. They should have followed Sun Tzu's advice and occupy that which could be held: specifically the coastal cities with the ARVN doing the fighting in the jungle. It would have been a combination the VC couldn't beat but it wasn't to be. I'm not ashamed of serving but I am ashamed of what we did to the Vietnamese people. They were treated worse than rats; that's no way to treat a population. Mao found out that fair taxes-rice won the Chinese over.

My Dad was stationed at the Evac Hospital, (91st Evac Hosp.?) at Tuy Hoa from January 1967 to March 1968. His name is Dr. Alan Peikin, now 69 and a retired Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon.
I am proud of all men and women who truly keep our democracy intact by serving in the armed forces. thank you.
How did the killing of the vietnamese people help democracy? (assuming that there was democracy in the US which is obviously not the case, since all politions have to go to the big companies to beg money for their campaigns=
uneducated retard? Mhm..then please explain me why the French/USA supported the junta of nguyen? Do you think these antidemocratic fascists were good for the vietnamese people?
"Commie, commie, commie..." I think a lot of US-americans have been indoctrinated to hate everything that is "communist" without thinking about it.. I am not a fan of the communist party, but they are a lot better than these cruel dictators, the US supported!
ya your a fan of the commie party lol. an fascist are not a great thing iethe but at least it's better then being a commie hell even hitlers germany ppl had a small say an got to work in jobs. instead of bread lines.
I knew your father at tuy hoa- (Sgt. Larry Myers, 31st CES) he treated me for a really bad sun burn that my 1st sgt said would get me court martialed! He went to bat for me with my CO and got me limited duty until it healed..........Good Man.........
TECHKLEC: I was at Phan Rang from about November of '70 to July 31, 1971. I worked on Panther Flight as I was an SP. I was at Tuy Hoa before going to Phan Rang. When were you at Phan Rang and what was you job?
I went over with the 614th TFS in Sep. '66 and extended until June '68. The original runway was PSP and then concreted in early '67. I was a Weapons Load Cerew Chief on F100s, either laoding planes on the flightline or arming/dearming on the end of the runway. We used to put away a couple of bucks each month to go down to 'The Strip' just before payday to get all the bargains, and when I finally got back to the states, made SSGT. They wanted me to re-up but I got out 6 months early!
Sounds like you were there several years before me. I used to work this tower straight across from where the jets took off. Extremely loud but I got some good views. Also worked around the F100 alert revetments. Talked with a lot of pilots. Most were decent guys but there was a few butt holes.
We (the 614th) came over as a unit on C130s loaded to the hilt. For the first couple of months, there were only tents until barracks and the tower side mess hall were built. The east side mess hall was built in '67 and shortly after that, permanent officer housing was being constructed. I came back to the states right after RFK got shot. In those times, if you were seen in public wearing a military uniform, it was like wearing a sign saying "I'm a Convicted Felon".
I like to go to Google maps and view these places close up now. Phan Rang AB is clearly visible with revetments still in place but, for the most part, deserted. 'The Strip' appears to have been built up into a regular town.
it never would had happened if united states and their allies began an invasion over north vietnam and republic popular of china..it is normal that guerrilas destroys a base if only the united states armay and south vietnamese army only stay in south vietnam in attitude deffensive. attacking and total occupation of north vietnam and and some parts of china with other allies in the context of cold war, the communist forces, chinese, russians and north vietnamese would not have been so offensive.
my dad was stationed at tuy hoa in 1969 worked bunkers, flightline, alert post, tower, convoys, and door gunner. in fact he fought in this battle he is one of the airman doing the body count in the video he told me he remembered it. he was an sp in the airforce.....i am proud of him for serving it was a hard thing for anyone to do........
it doesn't take much backbone to root on the american military from far away, safe at home... in fact it takes: a weak little man who would never have the nerve to serve himself, but with the need to feel powerful and brave. "commie lovers" as you call them at least have the backbone to form their own opinions.
What else do you notice about that pistol? Must be a very rare model -- the ejection port on the slide is on the WRONG side. Someone ran the film backwards.
Those were the VC's "Dac cong," dac=special, cong=attack. You get the idea. They are commies. They were naked because they swam up from the water to attack, clothing will make you heavier in the water.
I met a VC special army soldier on 24 January 2008 in Tuy Hoa who attacked Dong Tac airport in Tet 1968. I felt proud to have a beer with him. Nowthat, the US good people are helping Tuy Hoa with development projects, why don't you join them. I am happy with my small part of contribution in shaping the city for peace and love.
One thing all USA haters must have in mind is that when USA goes to war they have a bunch of moral and ethical leashes. If the awesome power of the US military is unleashed not even the ground you stand on will hold you.
Thanks USA for being the only superpower in history to have others in mind.
That sounds nice, albansktiger, but it's not true. I've seen awful video of things done by the Americans and "South Vietnamese". I've seen a Vietnamese prisoner, hands tied, not resisting, scared, being beaten and repeatedly held under water until almost drowned, (everyone around laughing it up) then made to "run for his life." I saw him get a 20 foot head start, then shot to death with an M-16. Hands tied.
Why? Because he and others stood up to the US corporate elite's internat'l interests.
Ottoman empire for example: They hung my people the Albanians like flags on a flagpole by taking a pole and shoving it in the ass untill it comes out of the mouth, every city had fields of these human flagpoles.
Mongolian empire braged about how they created the worlds biggest pile of bodys in some russian city (cant remember the name).
These empires did not punish their idiots but USA does.
Okay, I understand what you're saying now, I think. You're talking about punishing the US punishing Americans when they commit atrocities? If so (that's not as outrageous but) plenty of murderers still get away with it... look at our "allies" (puppets/servile pigs) the "South Vietnamese"--we've got documented footage of them beating and shooting plenty of unarmed prisoners (the one I mentioned, and the most famous NBC footage). And the US invites them to live in Virginia, open pizza parlors.
As an Albanian (while I don't know your politics) I'd think you'd show more sympathy for a mistreated, oppressed, bullied, and abused people standing up for themselves. I dono't know how many Albanians outside of Kosovo supported the KLA, but they fought the same war as the NLF ("VC")--against a much more powerful enemy, and with nothing to gain but their freedom. Not all Americans are ignorant enough to ignore the plight of groups like this.
why?more likely because Viet Cong like Khmer rouge routinely slaughtered villgers. "corporate elite "my ass!Big Lie here is youre portraying Communist imperialism as liberation.Go talk to the boat people theyll tell you what a wonderfull bunch of liberators the Cong,Khmer Rouge,Soviet backed North Vietnamese are!
We sat back and let the khmer rouge overrun cambodia. It took the Vietnamese army to intervene and actually do something about Pol Pot. We're happy to let mass murderers run wild (look at "south vietnam") as long as they don't interfere with U.S. business interests. Face it: we were the bad guys. I'm horrified to think what you'd be saying if you lived in Germany in 1939...Learn to think critically, and be able to acknowledge when your own leaders are the bad guys.
"We're happy to let mass murderers run wild (look at "south vietnam") as long as they don't interfere with U.S. business interests." You are right about that, and those mass murders are still running wild in South VietNam 33 years after the war has ended and what have they done for the people of Vietnam besides pushing them towards the grave?
Wich "we"?The left denied he did it,then when they couldnt do that anymore say "we caused it"PolPot was backed by the Chinese and early on the North Vietnamse who "let" him do his genocide UNTIL he invaded Vietnam.Your "we"here is the Communists.They slaughter people and people like you get defensive for them.Face it Fondas friends are evil!look how the waged their war!listen tothe refugees!

think critically is exactly what I did listening to refugees from Laos,Cambodia and Vietnam.They told me back then what I didnt want to hear:The Viet Cong,NVA,and their backers were not liberators or "antiwar".They used terror to conquer and dominate to this day.What they told me was 180 from what Baby Boomer Left told me about these "liberators"
I am a Vietnam vet served in Phutai not too far away from TuoHoa on the Gun Truck King Cobra as a 50 Calibre Gunner. I knew something was wrong with the war when we got into the first ambush along the road. Our orders were to call in and ask permission to open fire. It is damn hard to win a war when you are getting shot at and morters are coming in and you are supposed to ask for permission to open fire. We always called in after the ambush. We could of wonthe war
American Gov started everything. OUr first president which was Ngo Dinh Diem didnt agree to let american troops to enter vietnam. He said that if the american gov wanted to help us then help us by supporting money and weapons, dont sent your troops to our country.....Guest wat..They.. shot him and his brother.Indirectly.and then formed a new gov in South Vietnam.This was a war game beetween US and Soviet Union....China.....
where's your proof? its always america's fault huh? because the almight arvn could have handled everything??? yea right they were run over quicker after the us left than paris was when the nazi's invaded france.

tgross79 and loclinh: Keep on insulting each other, you losers! The US was thoroughly whipped and had to run out and abandoned their lackeys to their fate... All of them were losers. The Vietnamese people were the winners!
Tom3605: Don't stay inside the communist Box. As the world 's point of view, the capitalist camp leaded by the USA WON the socialist camp leaded by Soviet Union. The VN communists leaded by Hochiminh belong to the socialist camp or the world LOSER.
DHL1958: So? The Vietnamese used the Soviet Union and China to regain their independence and unity. The demise of the Soviet Union did not hurt Vietnam one bit. The alliances with the SU and China had already served their purposes and had become immaterial by 1979 when Vietnam fought China and by 1991 when the SU collapsed.
Loclinh: Your English is atrocious but you did make a little bit of sense there. Yes, the Americans did have Diem and Nhu killed but what did you expect? Servants who betrayed their masters deserved to be "put to sleep" like a sick pet. That is the gold old American way. Be a US lackey at your own risk, my boy!
Tom3605: What's happened in Soviet Union after Stalin dead in 1955, and in the socialist camp in 1959? How was HoChiMinh treated by the Soviet Union from 1959-1969 ?
DHL1958: Son, Stalin died on March 5, 1953 not 1955. However Ho Chi Minh was treated by the Russians, he used them to achieve Vietnam's goals and they couldn't interfere in Vietnamese politics. Your VNCH leaders were ordered around by the US like errand boys and got killed or oververthrown if they stepped out of line.
Thanks for the video. I was one of those firefighters that was called on that night . what a 22ND Birthday party. 40 years later and it still seems so real.
I was also on the flight line that nite. I was lying on the taxiway watching as the sappers threw their satchel charges under the planes in the revetments. Later I tried to run off the tarmac but collided with an exploding motar...wasnt badly hurt...finally made it to the air police in the sand dunes
I was sleeping in the hootch when the JP4 tanks went and the concussion blew me off the top rack. Spooky's mini's and the Army Hughey gunships really let loose and gave quite a show..
Hi i understand you are a vietnam vet. my name is Torkel im from Norway, di tet come upon you like a fast moving train did any1 see it comming,what was it really like to serve in nam. would you do it again?

I am still a bit bewildered about the whole thing. I was turned 20 years of age out there on post at Tuy Hoa. Attack-sentry dog handler, 31st SPS during 1970. You "big picture" people can say what you will.....but, I still miss "Falla"; 105 lb german-shepherd that I can only hope is guarding God's perimeter, and maybe, chasing those crabs at low tide.......I don't think many there even knew we K-9's were out there in the darkness, except maybe the Oscar tower or Golf bunker guys

The NVA created and essentially was the VC, an imaginary propaganda front with a bullshit politcal fornt the NLF, they were hardcore trained terrorists sent down in droves form North Vietnam in 1959-60 from the communist glob that terrorized and took control through the most heinous means of half a country.

Ho chi Minh is never a nationalist but a disgusting TRAITOR. He was a member of the Third Communist International known as "Comintern" established in 1919 by Lenin to fight for the overthrow of the international bourgeoisie and for the creation of an international Soviet republic (the Soviet Union). Therefore, Ho chi Minh must work for interests of the Soviet Union, not for "selfish" interests of Vietnam. In other words, he is just a tool of the Soviet Union to conquer the world.

France had brought catholic civilisation to Vietnam,the beginning of viet nam's blossoming, and after ww2, French and international zionists,who hate christians had trained,armed and financed Ho Chi Minh and his gang, to go about killing and destroying the great culture of viet nam, under the false flag of freedom. French are as much guilty as Americans who didn't really wanted to fight communism, but only wanted to profit of war,arms and drugs selling.

AMERICA LOST VIETNAM WAR BECAUSE OF ITS BIASED MEDIA!!!
Since anti-war, liberal American media always focused on American and Vietnamese civilian casualties, and ignored the enemy's casualties and Vietcong's atrocities against its own people as in the case of Hue's massacre of 5000 civilians in 1968, to mislead Americans to become against Vietnam war. Ho chi Minh, founder of Vietnam's communist party once said, " the war is not decided in Vietnam's battle fields but in CBS studio!"

The Viet Minh fought the French, Japanese, French again, US over 30 years. They just wanted their country to be free from foreigners. They paid a heavy price for that in lives and and their country a toxic time bomb. Right after the Germans left France the French we back to Indo-China and ultimately got the shit kick outta them or I should say Foreign Legion. The French: they're the great example of cowards. Had the Legion do their dirty work. They didn't lift a finger in WWII or Indo-China.

The US left Viet Nam in a hasty withdrawal. They should have followed Sun Tzu's advice and occupy that which could be held: specifically the coastal cities with the ARVN doing the fighting in the jungle. It would have been a combination the VC couldn't beat but it wasn't to be. I'm not ashamed of serving but I am ashamed of what we did to the Vietnamese people. They were treated worse than rats; that's no way to treat a population. Mao found out that fair taxes-rice won the Chinese over.

I went over with the 614th TFS in Sep. '66 and extended until June '68. The original runway was PSP and then concreted in early '67. I was a Weapons Load Cerew Chief on F100s, either laoding planes on the flightline or arming/dearming on the end of the runway. We used to put away a couple of bucks each month to go down to 'The Strip' just before payday to get all the bargains, and when I finally got back to the states, made SSGT. They wanted me to re-up but I got out 6 months early!
TECHKLEC 3 years ago
Sounds like you were there several years before me. I used to work this tower straight across from where the jets took off. Extremely loud but I got some good views. Also worked around the F100 alert revetments. Talked with a lot of pilots. Most were decent guys but there was a few butt holes.
stratman2617 3 years ago
We (the 614th) came over as a unit on C130s loaded to the hilt. For the first couple of months, there were only tents until barracks and the tower side mess hall were built. The east side mess hall was built in '67 and shortly after that, permanent officer housing was being constructed. I came back to the states right after RFK got shot. In those times, if you were seen in public wearing a military uniform, it was like wearing a sign saying "I'm a Convicted Felon".

Why? Because he and others stood up to the US corporate elite's internat'l interests.

Okay, I understand what you're saying now, I think. You're talking about punishing the US punishing Americans when they commit atrocities?

And the US invites them to live in Virginia, open pizza parlors.

As an Albanian (while I don't know your politics) I'd think you'd show more sympathy for a mistreated, oppressed, bullied, and abused people standing up for themselves. I dono't know how many Albanians outside of Kosovo supported the KLA, but they fought the same war as the NLF ("VC")--against a much more powerful enemy, and with nothing to gain but their freedom. Not all Americans are ignorant enough to ignore the plight of groups like this.
