HC: The Vietnam War - America Enters the War 3/5

At a total cost of more than 3.1 million lives, the Vietnam conflict is, to date, Americas
longest and most controversial war. It also marked the first time TV journalists ventured to
the frontlines to bring the spectacle of combat into American living rooms. Across the nation,
Americans watched, captivated by the surprise Tet Offensive and the slow-motion tragedy of
the 77-day Battle of Khe Sanh, and inspired by the courage and skill of American soldiers at
decisive engagements like Ia Drang Valley, Con Thien, and Dak To.

This special THE HISTORY CHANNEL collection profiles the decision-makers of the Vietnam War
and chronicles each key event, from the advisors arrival in 1959 to the airlift from the roof
of the American Embassy in 1975. Archival footage and interviews with historians and veterans
reveal the military and political strategies in play, and CBS News archives take viewers to
the frontlines to witness the daily struggles of American servicemen and women.

Combining interviews with Vietnam veterans and the actual footage from CBS News coverage,
the viewer is given a glimpse into the war that has rarely been seen. Battle stories are
heart breaking enough in the words of the veterans, but coupled with the news footage and
reporting (for the first time from the front lines,) it becomes a greater more personal grief.

@musiclover3928 well USA wasn't looking to 'defeat' No Vietnam--USA accepted that No Vietnam existed as a separate state--USA aims was get North to accept ROV i.e. accept permanent division. B y the way if Jungles per se were an obstacle than plenty of Pacific War campaigns would have been lost but they werent

@GodlessMartyr666 Now that you have gone this far and stated the obvious, how can you deny that the intelligence that is running the show is not human at all and is the most powerful persuasive force for evil that exists.......Satan. You want to go so far but you attribute these corrupt and evil ideas merely to man, you are the deceived one. You think by having figured something out it makes you exempt from the same evil persuasion? There is only one place of safety.

[GodlessMartyr666]

we start to see a trend of classic roman-empire era divide and conquer tactics, god damn republicans and their corrupt system of politics climbing up through history, unabated...

[GodlessMartyr666]

Prime example though as I just mentioned would be the nazi party basically forcing the german public into a conquest for world domination and using taxpayer money to basically kidnap the nations leading scientists, and force them to build the most advanced weapons possible at the time. Consider that the U.S. has the most powerful and technologically advanced military on the planet and has since around the end of the second world war. The russian military comes in close second since the commi era

[GodlessMartyr666]

and I'd hate to say it but some of the most advanced modern technology produced today stemmed from research funded by some of the most evil people in the history of the planet... The scientists who built the tech, and the people paying for it, were not "evil" , persay... But the mis appropration of funds and manipulation of blind public masses and their assets meant creation of things like the V2 rocket and the atomic bomb. All of which have spawned modern creation and the technology seen herein

[GodlessMartyr666]

@dmhtuber basically , as we all know, the richest people of this world will never cease to rape and ruin the contorted society we have allegedly "built" for ourselves.. cogs in a machine that forever grinds for elitist advancement..

[GodlessMartyr666]

@dmhtuber When I say that, you have to understand that no matter who's party is running office there is always somebody else pulling the strings. Government is a form of control just as much as religion was prior to civilization. I'm not saying you are unaware but you're asking question with pretty obvious answers. Republicans basically own the system no matter how you look at it, and you can call me a racist if you'd like for what I'm about to say but zionists are secular, and evil...

[dmhtuber]

@GodlessMartyr666 I believe that too, but what does that have to do with democrats or republicans? I am just trying to make sense of your comment. I mean.....corruption? No shit! Corruption is everywhere and in all of human nature, and when government is involved, it is corrupt to the root. So what? Johnson and JFK were democrats, and you said "you can thank the Gop for that" ?

[GodlessMartyr666]

@dmhtuber if you beleive JFK wasn't killed by his own puppet regime you are dumber than the brick my house is built of. Mr Johnson was responsible for the greatest infringement of the second amendmant in United States history with the gun control act... If you beleive your countries richest, most powerful people don't corrupt our society in the worst way possible then you're blind, like the rest of the sheep.

[dmhtuber]

@GodlessMartyr666 Yeah, like Kennedy, and Johnson.......what the hell are you talking about?
