When americans mention kill count, they often forget about the fact that the main force fighting against north vietnam were south vietnam soldiers. North vietnam and people who follow Ho Chi Minh's side, won against South Vietnam, United States, Australia, New Zealand, Republic of (South) Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines whom sent soldiers while north vietnam only receive supply from China and Soviet Union, not soldiers. Sometimes they'll mention about military objective saying "US won all major battles". Basically refering to whenever US was able to capture a point. The time they manage to capture a point, they call it a major battle, but if you haven't noticed, they don't hold those points, so they leave, because unlike them, north vietnamese soldiers were able to hold AND DEFEND those points the whole time while they can't. So who really won in terms of military prowess? The people who are able to hold much longer and retake the objectives or the 9 years old who say they won by managing to retake the point for few seconds to only lose it right after?
@Tadux Slowbouncer dude the South not only threw the Geneva accord and country election results (in which president Ho Chi Minh would have won and the West was supposed to back off and leave Vietnam in peace) out the windows but also rigged the South election result --> yo another government in the South already formed anyway, let's fight the North nonetheless --> need me to elaborate more? Check your facts before making any claims about a war that you have very little knowledge about duh
John F. Kennedy started the War by 1962 when he increased the number of US "advisers" from 600 to 13,000. He authorised the spraying of 500,000 acres of food crops with Agent Orange in South Vietnam; and attacks into North Vietnam in unmarked aircraft. Lyndon B. Johnson just made it official. JFK authorised the assassination of the Diem brothers (US puppet Govt in South Vietnam). Three weeks later JFK was assassinated. As Malcolm X said: "The chickens came home to roost".
Great! Proud to be a Vietnamese 🇻🇳 my great-grandfather was a Confucian official in Nguyen Dynasty, but in 1945 he left and became a part of Viet Minh government and served it during wars against French second colonization and American invasion in Thanh Hoa province and the North-Central area. He really admired our President Ho Chi Minh and was respect as a nhân sĩ yêu nước who fought for the independence and freedom, unification of the country. He died when he was still separated from our family, so sad. My home village Phượng Đình in Hoằng Hoá District (now it’s a part of Thanh Hoá city) was booming by Americans after his death. Although I currently live in the USA for my study, I never forget it but admire my great-grandfather a lot with a huge respect. I really love our Vietnam flag 🇻🇳 and always want to come back to serve our country. For who may ask, my great-grandfather’s name was Nguyễn Đình Ngân, served for the Resistance Committee of 4th area (Thanh Hoá - Nghệ An - Hà Tĩnh) and then Vice President of Vietnamese Fatherland Front of Thanh Hoá Province, and a National Assembly Representative.
It's quite interesting how similar vietnam and brazil are - here we also have hammocks, and cane juice and cassavas as staples of our culture. Let's hope we can add revolution to the list of similarities!
Another amazing video! I have so much respect for the Vietnamese people and their resilience to the suffering they had to go through at the hands of the USA. I've been reading a book called Kill Anything That Moves, it's about the atrocities committed by the US army in the war, and I've never cried so much at a book. I'm so glad that your people valiantly fought off the US imperialists despite the odds being stacked against you! 🇻🇳❤️
Fun fact about the MiG 21 and 17: The americans used their high-tech F-4 "Phantom II" fighter interceptor, which had a powerful radar and long-range AIM-7 "Sparrow" missiles which used the Radar to find their targets. The large Phantom didn't have a machine cannon tho, and was pretty sluggish compared to the light and nimble MiGs. The vietnamese pilots would either fly below the radar or force the americans to get in close-range dogfights in which the sparrow didnt have any use. The large Phantom couldn't out-maneuver the migs and was then shot down using 23mm machine cannons or short range "Atoll" missiles. In that way the aerial combat over vietnam mirrored the guerillia tactics used on (and below) the ground.
MiG-17 also lacked radar gunsight that american jets as early as the F-86 sabre in Korean war had, let alone radar itself, Vietnamese pilots continuously challenged and overcame us air superiority with basically no advantages at all except in their own skill and tactics. Here’s a song about them: th-cam.com/video/rztMUb8PfTA/w-d-xo.html
Another problem the Phantom had was that missiles used by both sides at the time were very unreliable. Even short range AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles couldn’t easily hit anything. The USAF had to rush pods with guns into service for the Phantom to have a chance against the much older MiG-17. Other aircraft the US used could do better as they came with guns, but the US never really could completely dominate the skies over Vietnam.
The thing about the AIM-7s was that they had a failure rate of over 60% which meant that even with a radar lock they would either not hit their targets or fail to explode in time.
Indeed! I remember reading about this on wikipedia actually, I think it was probably under the Operation Rolling Thunder article somewhere if I recall/anyone wants more/citations/whatevz. *EDIT* www.wikiwand.com/en/Operation_Rolling_Thunder#/MiGs_and_interdiction

I went to the tunnels with a school trip, and the man who spoke of his time fighting within them was very grave. I've never forgotten what he said. Also, I'm a six foot tall Australian and ended up having to crawl since I'm exactly the type they wanted to cause trouble for
The struggle of the Vietnamese communist against US imperialist invaders is very inspiring for us Americans who seek to stop all violence that is not a part of the war against the ruling class here. Thanks Luna! - From the belly of the beast
I was lucky enough to have a drunken conversation with an incredibly friendly roadside shop vendor who was an American war veteran on my first morning in Vietnam. How welcoming the Vietnamese are to those of us from an old imperialist enemy was very moving. Long story short, I'm a ML now and I really hope that Ho Chi Minh Thought will one day be available in English.
Can’t wait for part 2. Seeing candid video of Vietnam and the people you two interact with is so heartwarming. I’m glad Vietnam is open and you’re able to see such great sights!
It's interesting Vietnam has one of the least exaggerated kill counts for fighter aircraft I've ever seen. Most countries have 3-5 times higher kill estimates than their opponents admit to losing. Whereas there's only a 1.5 times higher rate of claimed vs admitted for Vietnam vs America.
I thought that America was the only place where you could shoot real guns 😯 That's so cool. If I ever were to make a tourist trip to learn how to shoot I'm choosing Vietnam over America
@@KrazyKratosFan I don't know, I've never really looked into it really. Here in Spain it's very restricted and civilians aren't allowed in gun ranges I don't think. Only ones available are for Olympic shooting or clay pigeon shooting, as well as regular hunting. Since I know people that went to America and shot real guns that's the only place I believed that you could do that. Like just going to a place and trying real guns. Here in Europe it's very different.
@@tofolcano9639 I don't know Spanish laws but most likely you can join a shooting club and get permit for guns but you won't be allowed to carry them around and automatic weapons are off limit.
It is unsurprising view given that America is a patch work of regulations when it comes to guns and most of the ones on the books have loopholes so large that it makes the regulations pointless. Which has lead to it being so easy to get a gun that even people who are clearly unstable can get a hold of one. Hell in some parts n of the country you can be blind and still buy a gun..Not to mention how easy it is to use one on another person and get away with it.
@@tofolcano9639 Given Spain's history, I would assume Spain would have a strong gun culture, but then I remember who was in control from the 40s to 70s.
We study more on the lines of Guevara style guerrilla tactics in America. Oddly enough, I have yet to see any Guerrilla doctrines from the NV movement. It's extraordinarily absurd how so many Marxist's espouse the ideology but when we talk about paramilitary action to implement these principles suddenly everyone turns into neo-liberals/centrists. I have been criticized by even fellow comrades here in America for being a leftist gun advocate. And the criticisms get even more absurd. I've been called a wanna be red fascist dictator for wearing battle dress uniforms and Communist stars. To wrap this up. I think as comrades we really need to support the reds who are willing to risk their own citizenships and become public enemy number one; to fight for workers's led economics, abolition of land monopolies and a worker led society. Workers' of the World Unite! People's Revolutionary Army!☆⚒
We in Italy had partisan guerrilla warfare during WW2 against fascism. I am very proud of them. Unfortunaly we didn't had a communist revolution because the allies powers forced them to give up their weapons in fear of a communist uprising. Maybe this was a good thing because in Greece they had partisans too but they were exterminated by British.
You guys would've become Soviet puppets had you gone communist. And too my knowledge "real" communists say the Soviets were bad. Had there been no USSR it would've been fine.
@@mailman35419 Yes, I agree with you, soviet socialimperialism was bad both military and economically. If Italy turned communist I would like it would be like Yugoslavia: a socialist sovereign country. By the way I wouldn't like it would ended like the sino/albanian-soviet split.
My Grandfather loved the jungle even though he was an Yugoslav like me he was an Partisan during WW2 in Yugoslavia (todays Bosnia-Hercegovina) and rose up to an lieutenant he went during French Indochina to Vietnam and had a meeting with Ho Chi Mihn in the Vietnam war he was a advisor for Vietcong and NVA Troops he was very good even better as the Soviet advisors the Partisans used Guerrilla Warfare like the Northvietnamese the was only one thing he hated the tunnels he survived the war and die 1990 1 year before yugoslavia colapsed
the vietnamese bravery, skill and determination to defeat the imperialist invaders has to be admired. They fought long and hard for their independence. I missed this museum on my trip in Vietnam, but they are so many others. This one is seems to be one of the best.
This was fascinating. Vietnam I one of the places that was on my family's list of places to visit before the pandemic. Can't wait to to get back to making those plans
The Vietnamese air force was very small back then. They used their jets VERY carefully. The history Channel had a whole series about US jets fighting with Vietnamese jets. Hollywood only focuses on the Viet Cong part.
I wish I could be there with you two. Being able to walk around in the sunshine seems like a far away, impossible dream for us here in Seattle. Solidarity.
Americans take the war more seriously because we lost and it was all pointless. You still get dark humor from the war among vets if they had a few and are in the mood to talk about it.
The memory of the brave Viet Minh and the Viet Cong will live forever. Every time I see your vids I want to move to Viet Nam. To connect my story with yours>>> My sister was a young Hippy (I was just a sprout) in the late 60s, and she fought at the DNC in Chicago as well as other demonstrations in Chicago. Two different ways to fight against American Imperialism, but it shows that we are all connected. Kinda.
I am, even tho I don't have time to play it and I don't really have squad but Hey, can't wait to see it. Honestly, I also hope they are going to add the Soviet faction in Post Scriptum
Great video, I really liked seeing this, so beautiful. I'm surprised they let you hold on to the clip though at the end while firing. That seems like a bad time waiting to happen.
The "Usa" the snemy of the enimy of peace and progress the enemy of the human family...the enemy of the earth..The existential threat to ALL life. Thanks to Vietnam for the spanking they laid on the beast.
This is awesome! I've never watched your videos before and im really impressed, i can't wait to visit Vietnam myself one day, it seems like so much fun!
Fuck yeah love your pfp and love pat the bunny! Sick to see other folk punk fans. Shame I can't actually find smash the plate anywhere after all my searching
17:58 Them: Do you want to mix concrete with us? Me: Uhh... No, lol (I hate doing things if I don't have to, so that question hit me right in center of my soul)
I relate to what EJ said, it's pretty weird as an American to hear about how the Vietnamese were forced to fight off American soldiers because of the US government's imperialist aggression. Lots of blood on our hands. Sorry?
You feel weird and sorry because like hearing a friend has lost a loved one, you regret that people went through (or still go through) pain because of your country's Gov't and that you can't do anything to prevent it. Some will say move on but I say there is nothing wrong with that intrinsic emphatic feeling of wanting to prevent past suffering and to let that feeling apply to helping people in the present.
Saw a Clip of your TH-cam channel on tiktok and immediatly watched this tiktok, It was amazing! When is Part 2 comming out? In the mean time imma binge watch other vids from your channel. Lg tim
Thank you for showing us a big part of your history! It's inspiring to see that people are capable of uniting against capitalist brutality and succeed!!

Here are a few days examples divided into two major categories. 1)Urban Area -Detriot (especially because of urban decay) -Chicago -Los Angeles -Twin Cities (especially because of militant indigenous tradition) -Also, most mid sized cities surrounded by deindustrialized areas, especially in the midwest 2)Rural and "4th World" areas with decent geography -Parts of the "Black Belt with good first and hill cover(especially because of New African Resistance Tradition -Parts of US-Mexico Border that are sympathetic to migrants (especially because it allows for easier smuggling of supplies) -Parts of rural Apalachicola (especially areas of WV with abandoned mines and militant union tradition) -Pine Ridge "Reservation" because of decolonial tradition and because of masses in 4th world conditions. -Rural Northern California because of fourth world conditions and ideal landscape
Should do a video with Vietnamese bird biologist. Vietnam is one of the main bird areas in the world. Local and migratory birds. Unfortunately many species are in danger due to climate change and habitat loss.
Amazing. I noticed how much the weather looks like Amazon forest. Does it rain a lot? How does the houses below ground level did not flood with water or mud? There's a drain? Houses like this were used before the American war and after?

Luna, I swear, once this Covid is over, I will visit Viet Nam! 😁😁🤩
@1:28 RELAXING CORNER!!
This was awesome, and your outfit looks really cool
Luna I love your channel. It's extremely informative plus you two have a great sense of humor.
The memory of the brave Viet Minh and the Viet Cong will live forever. Every time I see your vids I want to move to Viet Nam.
To connect my story with yours>>> My sister was a young Hippy (I was just a sprout) in the late 60s, and she fought at the DNC in Chicago as well as other demonstrations in Chicago. Two different ways to fight against American Imperialism, but it shows that we are all connected. Kinda.
Would love to see some Giap book discussions or summaries!
I am personally translating some of his teachings to English :p for personal use ofc 😳👉👈
@@baochi456 what if you shared your valuable labor with me...hahaha....jk... unless?

@@AssassinFOURnolan I'll share it with you once I finish 😤
Thank you for sharing this comrades! Keep up the excellent work!!
Cu Chi is one of my favorite maps in Rising Storm 2.
Cool vídeo, really enjoyed it. Vietnam is a beautiful country, it's so similar to my country Colombia. Thanks for sharing, comrade.
THIS IS SO COOL! Keep it up comrades!
Anyone else hyped for Squad: Vietnam
Haha, yup
Why play that when there is Rising Storm 2?
@@wilb6657 Because Rising Storm 2 is more arcady than squad is
I am, even tho I don't have time to play it and I don't really have squad but Hey, can't wait to see it.
Honestly, I also hope they are going to add the Soviet faction in Post Scriptum
I always love your travel videos!
Great video, I really liked seeing this, so beautiful. I'm surprised they let you hold on to the clip though at the end while firing. That seems like a bad time waiting to happen.
sincere gratitude to luna oi!
What an incredible video Luna oi!! It was extremely eye opening. Please make more like this!!
Great Content!! Thank you for bringing an Empire to its knees
The "Usa" the snemy of the enimy of peace and progress the enemy of the human family...the enemy of the earth..The existential threat to ALL life. Thanks to Vietnam for the spanking they laid on the beast.
This is incredible and I hope we can see some shooting on part 2!
It’s a good thing the good guys won this war.
This is the content I've been searching for
I want that t-shirt! So cool!
Cheers for the tour and the lesson Luna .
Luna walks so fast!
Thank you both!
great tour! thank you
This is awesome! I've never watched your videos before and im really impressed, i can't wait to visit Vietnam myself one day, it seems like so much fun!
Fuck yeah love your pfp and love pat the bunny! Sick to see other folk punk fans. Shame I can't actually find smash the plate anywhere after all my searching
@@MADZDWARF hell yeah i dont think anyone has ever recognized my pfp before, pat is awesome!

@@MADZDWARF hell yeahhhhh chris is great

Them: Do you want to mix concrete with us?
Me: Uhh... No, lol
(I hate doing things if I don't have to, so that question hit me right in center of my soul)
Thanks for this video it was great
I relate to what EJ said, it's pretty weird as an American to hear about how the Vietnamese were forced to fight off American soldiers because of the US government's imperialist aggression.
Lots of blood on our hands. Sorry?
That boiled cassava also looks fantastic, I've only ever had it fried and I need to change that!
Don't be sorry for something you haven't done.
Anyways,the war ended, let's just move on.
You feel weird and sorry because like hearing a friend has lost a loved one, you regret that people went through (or still go through) pain because of your country's Gov't and that you can't do anything to prevent it. Some will say move on but I say there is nothing wrong with that intrinsic emphatic feeling of wanting to prevent past suffering and to let that feeling apply to helping people in the present.
Heheh. I would be interested in an episode on Vietnamese flowers.
Saw a Clip of your TH-cam channel on tiktok and immediatly watched this tiktok, It was amazing! When is Part 2 comming out? In the mean time imma binge watch other vids from your channel.
Lg tim
Thank you for showing us a big part of your history! It's inspiring to see that people are capable of uniting against capitalist brutality and succeed!!
Great work Comrades.... Keep up ur gud work of inspiring the Left world wide...
15:56 10 instructions for NLF.
(ideally, an american equivalent would want to start in a rural or de-urbanized region with lots of extreme poverty and minimal state presence.)
Here are a few days examples divided into two major categories.
1)Urban Area
-Detriot (especially because of urban decay)
-Chicago
-Los Angeles
-Twin Cities (especially because of militant indigenous tradition)
-Also, most mid sized cities surrounded by deindustrialized areas, especially in the midwest
2)Rural and "4th World" areas with decent geography
-Parts of the "Black Belt with good first and hill cover(especially because of New African Resistance Tradition
-Parts of US-Mexico Border that are sympathetic to migrants (especially because it allows for easier smuggling of supplies)
-Parts of rural Apalachicola (especially areas of WV with abandoned mines and militant union tradition)
-Pine Ridge "Reservation" because of decolonial tradition and because of masses in 4th world conditions.
-Rural Northern California because of fourth world conditions and ideal landscape
Can't wait for part 2!
great video
Hello! I love your videos!
Wow. I really wanna visit this place someday. It's a beautiful and interesting history. Hope one day Latin America will also be free 💞
Damn...
Guess we'll have to wait 'til Part 2 to see how well Luna shot
That was a tight ass way to end a video, but I wanted to know Luna’s score 😢
This was really cool
A victory well earned.
i like how luna walks in this vid heeheehee
I would honestly watch if you made a video about Vietnamese flowers/plants
Should do a video with Vietnamese bird biologist. Vietnam is one of the main bird areas in the world. Local and migratory birds. Unfortunately many species are in danger due to climate change and habitat loss.
Amazing video as always!
Damn that's dope, very cool video
7:56 I thought he was smoking a cartoonishly large blunt
I love this so much!
Amazing. I noticed how much the weather looks like Amazon forest. Does it rain a lot? How does the houses below ground level did not flood with water or mud? There's a drain? Houses like this were used before the American war and after?
We got a lot of tourists in my city (york) so I get you Luna when you say you like it when there aren't loads of tourists. I'm the same. Hope you 2 are doing well also. Where is che did you not ride him there?
The part where she fire that AK bring tear to my vietnamese armorer eyes.
COOCHIE
I fucking love Vietnam!!!!!!
