My grandfather used to be a Vietnamese commando, Vietnamese soldiers are very good at close combat, my grandfather said that commandos often use weapons rather than guns because at that time we had to save every bullet, soldiers in my grandfather's time used to disguise themselves. page for. hours before breaking into the airfield destroying many b52s. This is what my grandfather told me

Hopefully this video wasn't made with the intention to say that white people/ americans are stronger since the amount of viet that died during that war was 2x more than americans. But the thing is there were vietnamese in both sides. Not only americans in 1 side. It was North vs South which americans sided with South. And another fact is that americans retreated while the war was still on going. That means for every american there were 1 viet from each side that died even tho the viets fought for longer and were fighting from both South and North. Edit: keep in mind that I counted only viet and american soldiers death and not the civilians.
Obviously they ain't gonna speak about those facts since america is great and americans are the greatest. Peter Lemon is simply lucky. Modern war isn't about strenght. Bet even the man himself knows it but also his comrades. In our society raw strenght helps in fist fight but tbh if a person wants you dead, there are plenty of ways to do it. There was no honor in that war. The only thing he accomplished was surviving a pointless war he fought in.
Even tho that war was so damn pointless they really had to bring the mass rape/ massacre and the agent orange I LOVE AMERICA IT'S SO GREAT AND FILLED WITH RACISM. Before you start thinking a person is racist just because the person is asian well atleast that person literally has real reasons to be. Just take Japan as example. I'm saying that since people assume asians are racist just because we prefer to be around each other even tho we aint well atleast not all of us but you just had to assume. And if you ever assume that don't think it's without reasons.
@@KFC431 Dude this Channel is just about history fun facts and stuff not defending countrys. in none of their videos they defend a side for being better they just tell the fact the way it is.
The reality: alcohol puts them to sleep it off, the weed leaves the user still functional. Cannabis saved MANY lives in vietnam, simply because it was not the alternative, alcohol. My old friend JD lived to come home, simply because he joined the weed party rather than the booze party.
@Goatymcgoater almost everyone did. Havent you seen that scene in Apocalypse now? That scene was inspired by real events. There was weed EVERYwhere out there, and no good booze
My grandfather (who died from cancer from agent orange) was in the army during this time. Also was awarded 2 purple hearts. I wonder if he had fought along side lemon during this great battle. I will find out when I get there Rest in piece pappy, you did great things for America.
I've never had my vision impaired by smoking weed and it was weaker back then, kind of tired of the negative attitude towards it considering alcohol is so much more socially accepted while being a drug that can literally kill you from withdrawals... What a crazy world.
An older friend of mine is a verifiable veteran from 32 Battalion. Another is from 31 battalion. If you know about them, you know. They both told me on some occasions they noted Dr Wouter Basson at their base camps administering long-acting anti-anxiety drugs IV. They said they weren't sure what it was, but it made them feel very calm, yet collected and focused during contacts with the enemy in Angola.
Marijuana is often falsely claimed to dull the senses, which is not everyone's experience. For many, it can cause extreme calmness in otherwise stressful situations, allowing decisive instantaneous reaction to flow as if by instinct, rather than being muddled by overthinking induced hesitation. This can include strategizing, and adapting strategies, on the fly. For these types, marijuana often bolsters hand eye coordination as well. If anyone has ever seen their one buddy take a massive bong rip before dominating an online deathmatch as if he were an advanced AI from the future, this is what's happening. Peter Lemon just did it in real life.
@@daekwonrose3160 I don't know if there are any scientific studies into the phenomenon. Just speaking from personal experience, and observation of certain reaction types.
I stopped smoking to join the army... I shoot so much better as a civilian b/c I can be properly medicated. Helps me go slow and get more out of training.
You are so right, when I was younger and a lot more inexperienced with smoke I had a couple of negatives that stuck in my mind purely because I bit off more than I could chew and got way too high. As I got older and my tolerance went higher I learned that it didn't cabbage me but quite the opposite (yes it does take me a few seconds longer to get up and take the rubbish out but everything I have to do, I.e work I hone in on)
Only good militant Commie is a dead one. Same sentiment can be leveled at Islamists. Answer the question, "Is Islam right about women?" Any feminist who says that Islam is for women's rights is retarded.

Funniest part is that vietnam kush at the time was absolutely awful. If lemon were to come back to toronto today he would probably become an absolute invincible unit
The marijuana over there is not like it was here back then. A lot of it was highly opiated, coated in it actually. So they were not smoking just THC, but also opium.
Finally. I've been asking you guys to do a story on Peter Lemmon for years. My dad, who is also from Toronto served. He did a Vietnam tour on The Big E USS Enterprise CVN-65. My dad moved to Detroit when he was 15 because his father (served in the Canadian army WW2) who worked for FORD was transferred there from Toronto. Dad saw people running to hide in his home country and joined because he loved it here. Peter Lemon also refused medivac until some of more severely injured soldiers were taken first.
Captain "Everybody b sure to watch the trees!" Sgt lemon (puts bag of weed in a locked container then stands guard over it), "The trees are secure captain." 😆
idk man a long sword and a bow against nazis- a generation of people trained to fight- or a guy high with a machine gun fighting rice farmers? mad jack >

According to wikipedia Peter Lemon is still alive. A salute to him for his brave actions.
Someone needs to record an interview with him in person while hes still alive, if he would be ok with that ofc

The fact that they animated the joint into every scene is hilarious.

I heard him speak and he made it very clear that he doesn't wear the medal of honor for himself. He wears it in honor of his lost partners.

Hopefully this video wasn't made with the intention to say that white people/ americans are stronger since the amount of viet that died during that war was 2x more than americans. But the thing is there were vietnamese in both sides. Not only americans in 1 side. It was North vs South which americans sided with South. And another fact is that americans retreated while the war was still on going. That means for every american there were 1 viet from each side that died even tho the viets fought for longer and were fighting from both South and North. Edit: keep in mind that I counted only viet and american soldiers death and not the civilians.
Obviously they ain't gonna speak about those facts since america is great and americans are the greatest. Peter Lemon is simply lucky. Modern war isn't about strenght. Bet even the man himself knows it but also his comrades. In our society raw strenght helps in fist fight but tbh if a person wants you dead, there are plenty of ways to do it. There was no honor in that war. The only thing he accomplished was surviving a pointless war he fought in.
Even tho that war was so damn pointless they really had to bring the mass rape/ massacre and the agent orange I LOVE AMERICA IT'S SO GREAT AND FILLED WITH RACISM. Before you start thinking a person is racist just because the person is asian well atleast that person literally has real reasons to be. Just take Japan as example. I'm saying that since people assume asians are racist just because we prefer to be around each other even tho we aint well atleast not all of us but you just had to assume. And if you ever assume that don't think it's without reasons.
@@KFC431 what???
@@KFC431 Dude this Channel is just about history fun facts and stuff not defending countrys. in none of their videos they defend a side for being better they just tell the fact the way it is.
The reality: alcohol puts them to sleep it off, the weed leaves the user still functional. Cannabis saved MANY lives in vietnam, simply because it was not the alternative, alcohol. My old friend JD lived to come home, simply because he joined the weed party rather than the booze party.
Oh thats why he came home? Because he decided to smoke instead of drink? Nothing else? Took a lot more than that to get home from Nam
I heard that from more than one marine I knew when my dad was in the navy
@Goatymcgoater almost everyone did. Havent you seen that scene in Apocalypse now? That scene was inspired by real events. There was weed EVERYwhere out there, and no good booze
My heart goes out to you, tell your friends I said thanks!
Cannabis wasn't in the vocabulary of the 60s!
My grandfather (who died from cancer from agent orange) was in the army during this time. Also was awarded 2 purple hearts. I wonder if he had fought along side lemon during this great battle. I will find out when I get there Rest in piece pappy, you did great things for America.
may his soul rest in peace
Soldier: "Don't smoke that. Marijuana makes you passive. You can't fight"
Lemon: "Hold my roach"
lmfao XD
I've never had my vision impaired by smoking weed and it was weaker back then, kind of tired of the negative attitude towards it considering alcohol is so much more socially accepted while being a drug that can literally kill you from withdrawals... What a crazy world.
Thinking the same thing
Guaranteed that the adrenaline eliminated the high as soon as the first round cracked off
@@lotsapasta0858 I could see it having an advantage. It helps you stay focused if you smoke the right strain
adrenaline would get youy pumped up, but it douesnta actually gets rid of THC, so he was high and pumped
An older friend of mine is a verifiable veteran from 32 Battalion. Another is from 31 battalion. If you know about them, you know. They both told me on some occasions they noted Dr Wouter Basson at their base camps administering long-acting anti-anxiety drugs IV. They said they weren't sure what it was, but it made them feel very calm, yet collected and focused during contacts with the enemy in Angola.
I love how he’s always got a joint in his mouth so we always know who he is. Even as he’s being medevac’d from the outpost in the helicopter.
I don’t blame em, if someone fucks up my vibe, I’d go on a rampage too.
Marijuana is often falsely claimed to dull the senses, which is not everyone's experience. For many, it can cause extreme calmness in otherwise stressful situations, allowing decisive instantaneous reaction to flow as if by instinct, rather than being muddled by overthinking induced hesitation. This can include strategizing, and adapting strategies, on the fly. For these types, marijuana often bolsters hand eye coordination as well. If anyone has ever seen their one buddy take a massive bong rip before dominating an online deathmatch as if he were an advanced AI from the future, this is what's happening. Peter Lemon just did it in real life.

Bruh I knew I wasn’t trippin, I always got better at everything once I’m high. I never thought to look up the science behind it but I am now.
@@daekwonrose3160
I don't know if there are any scientific studies into the phenomenon. Just speaking from personal experience, and observation of certain reaction types.
I stopped smoking to join the army... I shoot so much better as a civilian b/c I can be properly medicated. Helps me go slow and get more out of training.
You are so right, when I was younger and a lot more inexperienced with smoke I had a couple of negatives that stuck in my mind purely because I bit off more than I could chew and got way too high.
As I got older and my tolerance went higher I learned that it didn't cabbage me but quite the opposite (yes it does take me a few seconds longer to get up and take the rubbish out but everything I have to do, I.e work I hone in on)
4:40 did anyone see that dude in the gas mask just chilling back there 😂😂😂
this lad literally went doomslayer on those NVA troops absolute madlad

I can't function on weed. At least not well.
I become part of the couch or ascend into the music depending on the type
@@NoNoseProduction if you smoke sativas they're a head high that makes you more creative while indicas are a body high and can couch lock you unless you're a heavy smoker
@@wastelandstalker2226 weed is weed if you smoke enough. If you dont you just throw around indica and sativa like it matters.

Thank you for your service, I myself served in the Marine Corps....nobody understands but the guys you serve with. Now I'm just a sheriff deputy with a wife and kids, but the memories are always there...semper fi to all troops in this world. Always respect your enemy for they put there pants on the same way you do and bleed the same color.
8:54 he woke up like " where is my unfinished joint"??
seconds later in the heli
"there you are buddy , come to papa"
Funniest part is that vietnam kush at the time was absolutely awful. If lemon were to come back to toronto today he would probably become an absolute invincible unit
There is a popeye joke here I just can't come up with one. Please someone figure it out!
All weed was trash back the my uncle show me a pic of sum bud from the 80s looked like straight Reggie
The marijuana over there is not like it was here back then. A lot of it was highly opiated, coated in it actually. So they were not smoking just THC, but also opium.
Even terrible weed can you get you really high if you smoke enough. just depends on potency and how much you ingest like any drug.
@@PROJECTIRONWOLF1 well remember weed was a completely different plant back than. weed buds were bigger,drier and had seeds.
Finally. I've been asking you guys to do a story on Peter Lemmon for years. My dad, who is also from Toronto served. He did a Vietnam tour on The Big E USS Enterprise CVN-65. My dad moved to Detroit when he was 15 because his father (served in the Canadian army WW2) who worked for FORD was transferred there from Toronto. Dad saw people running to hide in his home country and joined because he loved it here.
Peter Lemon also refused medivac until some of more severely injured soldiers were taken first.
Well thank your dad for his service for me.
Your dad is a certified madlad
I take marijuana all of the time. I consumed two marijuanas last night before bed

Lemon owes his life to being ultra-focused behind that machinegun thanks to cannabis.
