  • Watched all of the parts and now i am able to say i finnaly understand the Vietnam war a bit. Whe in Holland dont get to learn anything about it in school and i found this docu very helpfull to get some knowladge about it.

  • @ccryan75 Hope my little 'textbook' (My understanding of the War") helps ya :D. Dont think the Communist propagandists win over ur American, it's the true horror of the war that u made upon distorted perception that defeated u. This war, also, is nothing but sorrow for both countries and proof of how little-minded and selfish that USA acts in foreign affairs. Look how USA, by herself, 'raised' the power of Chinese and those extreme Muslims in the last 40 years. See it urself :D

see all

  • @LongTimeNoEatPho I did vmbo myself and whe did not get any education about it. Good to hear they do give it to you guys on vwo.

  • @ladron187 I don't think so, I sit in vwo 3 and in history lesson we've got lessons about Communist from begining (beginning of Soviet) till the Vietnam war.

  • Thanks for this posting. I heard the special was 5 1/2 hours long. I was 19 in 1969 and threatened to be sent off to 'Nam....from Houston,Texas. A friend had to tape this for me,but the tape got lost in the mail. I'm a pacifist. The USA should never get involved in such a war,ever again.

    Also thanks,because Jennifer Love Hewitt did some narration in this show. :)

  • kill usa

  • @ccryan75 Thanks for the kind words, even though there are some points we still dont agree with each other. :D, Best regard :D

  • @ccryan75 ... Tet offensive, plus the free era of state media, only drove the Americans into having more attention into the cause of the war and to know how it's all started. As long as they know the cause, they became more sympathized with the Viet Cong and that's all ur 'enemies' wanted to achieve, they wanted to prove their true intention and righteousness. U already lost when u picked us to fight, rather than to stand by our side. That's, sadly, just how history went, no hate! :D

  • @ccryan75 On ur 3rd point, i continue to disagree, the turning-point of the war is not caused by communist propaganda, it's ur government's failure in delivering commitment. US army tried to create a free-commie-country without understanding the situation there. Those commies were the first one dared to fight for independence of VietNam and u, by dividing the country, could only be viewed as bad invaders. That's how u lost the VNese 'heart and mind' ...

  • @ccryan75 So, that's when French came back and USA left us nothing but a 'broken heart' and bloody wars :(. USA claimed to support the freedom movement of colonies but supported French to colonize us again, sad day, hey? Anyway, standing on a neutral point, that's just a choice that USA had to made in the beginning of Cold War, no hate on that part. The only regret is that Roosevelt died too early, if he lived until at least 1947, we may have avoided that sad history.

  • @ccryan75 This point is covered largely by my previous answer, I just want to add a bit of history: by the help of USA, 9-2-1945, HCM, announced the declaration of independence, quoting ur idea of freedom that everyone is equal and free to pursuit their happiness. National election was held and HCM won the president of the free VietNam. Further on, HCM sent out letter to Truman, requesting for friendship between 2 countries and intervention on French greed but He got refused, instead.
