My uncle SONNY was KIA in Hue on February 15,68 he was a Corpsmen with the 5th Marine. We love and miss you uncle Sonny. You’re not forgotten!!
He most certainly is not forgotten , he answered his Country's Call , a cut above so many others !
Semper Fi and 1st Marine Division lets go
Was your uncle one of the Baby Killers?
@@declanmurphy6427 That was the Vietcong that did that. They killed 5000 civilians in Hue.

Declan your family members must have been the dodger cowards who moved to Canada
I am watching this video in a hotel room in da nang (January 27, 2023). Yesterday I visited the Citadel. As it is now Tet, the vietnamese new year, the entire area was jammed with local people and tourists. The big Vietnam flag is flying on the mast by the south gate, pleasure boats cruise the Perfume River. The Citadel has been rebuilt and you would not guess that a major battle had been fought here. It's my second visit to Vietnam and I find the people to be very friendly, full of questions about where you are from (Canada), and very proud of their history.
This video sells it as a great victory. What a joke. I’m an ex-marine and if you read the book by Mark Bowden you see the cluster f@#k the battle actually was. This was a strategic victory for the Vietnamese People’s Army in almost every sense.

@@genxman7211 it was a sneak attack and the first urban combat the US Marines experienced in decades, in the end they won the day without completely raping the cities infrastructure. Strategic victory for the PAVN? it resulted in the destruction and essential disbandment of the entire insurgency. you dont know what youre talking about, the Tet offensive was catastrophic in terms of material and lives lost for north vietnam
@@thebubbclubHow can it be a "disbandment" while the Southern guerrillas was still active in the following years? The NVA/VC took the Hue city in just 4 hours and the ARVN + US needed 26 days to take it back with about 4,400 casualties including 668 killed. 90% of Hue infrastructure, including the ancient citadel destroyed during the battle is not even a small part.
Struggling with battles at Hue and Saigon allowed the NVA to enlist their time to siege Khe Sanh, then finally control the region in July 1968, which allowed the NVA to move their troops on a new Ho Chi Minh Trail, inside the Vietnam territory instead of turning around to Laos, Cambodia then back to South Vietnam.
@@genxman7211СССР надорвался экономически в помощи Вьетнаму в войне. Москва просела в Афганистане затем. Это главный враг был.Нельзя было США входить в Афганистан, русские хотели этого, это был второй Вьетнам для США.Очень хочется чтобы две державы Российская Федерация и Соединëнные Штаты Америки исчезли с карты земного шара. Народы США и РФ останутся, но Вашингтон, Нью-Йорк,Санкт-Петербург,Москва пусть исчезнут, вымрут,будь эти центры власти прокляты.

The ATOM bomb would have ended this war again but was not used. Too easy.
A number of factual errors in this video, although they don't change the story. A Hue Vietnam Veteran1967-1969.
Welcome home, sir
My pops was with you. Sgt. Richard S. Martinez. Thank you for your service..
I know a Hotel 2-5 Marine from this battle. He is a great guy!
Omg no way! Can you ask him if he knew Brian Sheppard? My grandfather was a radio man in hotel 2/5 marines and lost his foot in this battle. I never got a chance to meet him and I've been searching everywhere to find out more about him. Best regards!
When you take off the "political" restrictions and bring the full firepower of support to the Marines, yeah that's the ticket and I would bet on them to win every time.

Bonsoir à tous Un grand bravo pour vos vidéos et ce qui est dit par des vétérans 👍👏👏
It was the NLF (Viet Cong) which took Hue during the Tet Offensive. They entered the city underwater and were met by civilian comrades inside the city. These people were all natives of Hue City.
Why do British say left tenant instead of lieutenant😂
Wooden teeth I would guess.
Because we are not retarded
For the same reason Americans pronounce Salmon as Samin
Because it is a French word and we refuse to pronounce it the same way but also because the lieutenant is left in tenancy of the men. Lindybeige mentions it in his British Officers don't duck video, I think.
@@WhiteIkiryo-yt2itSo you use a French word that you don't want to pronounce in French? Why not just use an English word? Americans are just dropping the L in salmon. The British are actually adding letters into lieutenant that aren't even there. 😂 But then again, you drop Rs in words that have it and add Rs in words that don't. "Drawring a picture". Such logic.
Did i actually see someone shot. First time I've actually seen someone shot when it happened at 5:16 wow
Looks like it went through and came out of his back.
Poor guy.

I guess somebody gotta take all the credit like they were the only ones there fighting 🫡
Americans are also singled out for blame like we were the only ones there.

La ofensiva del Tet no tuvo el exito esperado, el Viet-Cong conformado por soldados del ejercito de liberacion experimentados, y jovenes desplazados por la sociedad sin mayor futuro de Saigon, pelearon muy bien.
They started with 325,000 and they only had 25,000 left. They got their asses kicked.
@@cyclone8974 fue el costo de la victoria, asi se ganan las batallas, el enemigo intervencionista sólo llegó hasta donde los dejaron llegar. Grande los Vietcong.
@@502contenido They also massacred 5000 civilians
Guess we shouldn't let that bother us

Proud of those VIETCONG WARRIORS.
Love that marines license plate. Be proud sir
Those reenactors.... holy farb fest
Heroes???? come on !!
Hell yes.
Who are your heroes? Trans Olympic boxers?
The US were trying to protect a country after re unification, the Communists stripped southerners of their freedom and privacy. Many southerners hate the Communist regime and want democracy and the Communist went capitalist after communism failed
😂 so they enjoy the small victory until entire US Army retreat and South VN fall.
Glroy to anti imperialists and people's party!
