I like how Hal Moore is the only one NOT looking at the movie clip.

Today is the 45th anniversary of the battle. May those who died rest in peace.

@thirty6min Easy to criticize after-the-fact. Fact is, the US was learning how to fight this kind of war and were new to fighting the NVA. It was territory they didn't know. This was not like Korea or Europe. 2ndly, the US public wasn't going to accept another war so congress didn't declare war and the Generals had to make do with normal peacetime patterns where they could not require soldiers to fight more than 1-year. That was just the system. Blame the system and US foreign policy instead

LordSkoal....look up ANRPC (Association of Natural Rubber Producing Countries
Vietnam is one of the top ten rubber producing countries in the world. I drew no parralells and have no bias except for the bias of knowing what the facts are concerning ANY country the US invades. remember, the USA NEVER invades ANY country if it has no commodoties hence, the Saharah Desert is safe!

Man, those are lot's of bold accusations. Mind citing your sources? It is easy to speculate, draw parallels in situations and declare your biased conclusion as fact.

But, vietnam did fall to the commies and as far as I know Michellin was and still is arround.
-
remember, the vietnam war was fought over RUBBER. France invaded/colonized vietnam in the 1800's. by 1960 Michellin(FR) had VAST rubber tree plantations growing there. US tire makers depended on rubber from vietnam to make their car tires. if vietnam "fell to the commies" US auto makers would have been devastated.
the vietnam war's demonstration of US corporations influence/domination over the US government hasnt been forgotten.
over 4300 americans have been killed for OIL in Iraq

The US was betrayed by the ego of LBJ & the greed of the generals and the war industry which they serve. The victims were US troops and millions of S.E. Asians.
The wars against Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia were one horrific war crime which also screwed up the US economy to and has led to the permanent obsession with trying to take over the world AKA "Full Spectrum Dominance". The horror, the horror! Till the US becomes a sane member of the international community, we will live in fear.

respect for these men (and women).

Just read the book again recently. Mad as hell how brave men were wasted by inept leadership in the rear headquarter. Fuck McNamara and his generals.

The second guy would be Hal Moore, the commander of the American Forces at La Drang valley, and who helped direct the movie. You bet it was hard on him.
