alangr46, the person who posted this video has made a small error in his descriptive text. He says, "...which he directed the war against US troops".

The error is that Australia deployed it's military to Vietnam before the US and left Vietnam after the US gave up on it. Also fighting in Vietnam were troops from New Zealand, Laos, South Korea and the Phillipines.

That war should correctly be called "The war in Vietnam". USA was a major player, but not the only one.

Good point. The Vietnamese I talked to spoke of the Chinese occupation becoming the French occupation becoming the American war (immediately after Dien Bien Phu), but as in the Iraq war/occupation, there were other countries whose governments offered soldiers' lives and national resources...

@alangr46

the chinese attacked vietnam after the americans left... the khmer rouge government attacked vietnam as well. I think it was arouns 1979 or so for the chinese, and the KR around 1977.

Lũ VC cháu ngoan ăn nói mất dạy quá! Đúng là con người XHCN.

Đừng nghe những gì cộng sản nói, mà hãy nhìn kỹ những gì cộng sản làm. HCM là một tên tội đồ dân tộc, làm tay sai cho Liên Xô, Trung Cộng

While in Vietnam, I have spoken to former VietCong and N.V.A.

They hold a high regard to Australian soldiers.

A small bit of side trivia... in the first Gulf War to liberate Kuwait, the first troops on Iraqi soil were the Australian S.A.S., and, the first shots fired came from the Australian Navy.
