    I recently spent over a year living and working in Vietnam.
    it’s one of the most beautiful countries on earth…and the people are amongst the kindest and most gracious I’ve ever met..the amount of progress they’ve made over the last twenty years is astonishing.

    My uncle who was sent to fight in Vietnam was my best friend and mentor when I was a kid in the 70s. He said it was the most beautiful place he had ever seen. He didn’t talk much about his service to anyone but my mom and she told me it was hell for him and he wasn’t the same person that he was before he went there.

      Maybe you should be teaching your students that the Americans were not the only ones there it was the Australians who America sent in first . And other countries fought like the New Zealand people and then of course the Koreans and probably some I have forgotten. How dare you call us up every time there's a war and then write us out of history . Maybe you should be teaching your students the reason the yanks all died is because they wouldn't listen to the Australians who were expert in jungle warfare. Australians training the Americans kept complaining that they could smell them coming a mile away because of the aftershave and marijuana . When the Americans went on patrol they got slaughtered when the Australians went on patrol the enemy ran for it's life . And I wonder if you teach your students that the United states started World War 1 lol they supplied the Germans with all the equipment then changed sides and sold to the allies starting World War 1 which as we know because they lost they started World War II so basically the Americans are responsible for 80 million deaths lol

    I think this is one of the most in-depth comprehensive documentaries on Vietnam that i've ever watched. I love how they incorporated as much of the "behind the scenes" political stances so that people can gain a better over all understanding of why & how things unfolded as they did step by step. I don't like how they blur images (i realise it's so that they can monetize it) because the whole idea of taking the pictures & movies was to show the public first hand the true horrors of war so that they might not be repeated. It displayed the losses of troops but also the cost of civilians as well, which was sometimes sadly missing from former war's reporting. Sadly, the world hasn't learned anything as people still think that they can achieve their goals looking down the barrel of a gun! Such a waste of money, time, resources & most importantly....human lives: past, present & future!

    my dad spent 3 in a half years in vietnam. half of 67 till beginning of 71. he was 101 airborne, 25th infantry sniper ambush team and a tunnel rat. he volunteered via his grandma... cause he was a trouble maker growing up and she was his guardian. he got a silver star, bronze cluster (something else) and 3 purple hearts. he didnt tell me much but everything he did... i still remember to this day and wow. It was crazy. he did cross over into cambodia twice. he told me this in the 80s before that was made public. There was one sniper mission he was one, they missed first pick up and had to hide and wait 3 more days for 2nd chance. How i was born... i have no idea. dude was lucky. My poor great grandma got a yellow letter from taxi twice saying he was KIA, then twice saying he lived. the 2nd one her lil 4 foot 10 ass about beat the taxi driver to death saying dont ever bring me any telegrams ever again! At that point, she didnt know they were shipping him back to home. This was a long battle over 3 days. late into day 2 or so, he took shrapnel to the head so fell back and helped med folks. he did that till he passed out from lack of blood. well... late 3rd day or early 4th... they were piling up bodies. dead and possibles. they saw his head ripped open and not moving so they threw him in dead pile. two sides of the story now. Dad wakes up. pitch black.. cant move... heavy weight on top of him.... loud chopper sound but hard to make out. totally dazed out. now the gunner side of the story... hes sitting there at m60 and notices bag moving on edge near bottom moving abnormally... gets the feeling and takes knife out and cuts open bag . Dad sits up , gunner tries to jump out of heli but belt stops him... dad passes out. They were heading to boat to drop off dead. They land and insist on cutting open every bag to be safe. take dad to work on him. he briefly comes to and passes out. wakes up briefly in germany... passes out. wakes up briefly in i thing virgina... and passes out... wakes up briefly in alabama... passes out... then at home in ga... passing in and out. Im so lucky to be here to this day due to him living. no he wasnt a great man... but he taught me so much and i learned how to weed out the bad and put in the good in between. Dude was a legend in his time in a place that we should have never been. Its not like he had really any say so. it was that or go to jail so.... keep that in mind for most of the first half of the wave they sent in. they weeded out the bad till they had to dip into the good to cover their own asses.

    Đất nước tôi được biết đến là một quốc gia nhỏ bé, bằng sự đoàn kết của cả dân tộc và ý chí không khuất phục, khát vọng hoà bình khi bị cai trị bởi thực dân đế quốc trong hai cuộc chiến là hơn 100 năm. Người Việt Nam có truyền thống giữ nước từ xa xưa. Dòng máu này luôn chảy trong huyết quản của những người Việt Nam nhỏ bé. Điều đó đã giúp chúng tôi đánh bại quân Mông Nguyên, đội quân mạnh nhất khi ấy và sau này là Pháp, Mỹ. Việt Nam luôn hiểu nỗi đau do chiến tranh gây ra dù là dân tộc nào khác trên thế giới. Chúng tôi luôn hữu hảo, mong muốn sống hoà bình ngay cả với các nước cựu thù như Mỹ, Pháp. Sau chiến tranh thế giới thứ 2, có lẽ dân tộc Việt Nam là dân tộc chịu nhiều đau thương nhất. Điều này không dễ dàng. Chúng tôi hiểu hơn ai hết nỗi đau do chiến tranh gây ra. Vì ngay lúc này đây đất nước tôi vẫn chưa thể khắc phục hết hậu quả và di chứng bởi chất độc hoá học Mỹ rải xuống cách đây hơn 50 năm để lại nỗi đau cho thế hệ thứ 3 thậm chí là thứ 4 được sinh ra sau chiến tranh 🙏🏻😢

Price is on par with China, but wages are still at China's 2000s level, a great investment destination for offshoring. Of course, Vietnam War museums is the reason for my visit, definitely worth it for any Vet or history fans.

    The truth about the Vietnam War that was never fully told. United States had No intention of winning the Vietnam War from the very beginning. Fear it might become like the Korean War with mass continuing Communist Chinese troops from China pouring against American military force in Vietnam. And the threat of a thermal nuclear War with the Soviet Union. Why the Vietnam War was never officially declare, why only 500,000 US ground troops was sent to fight in Vietnam, and why US never sent any US ground force past the 17th parallel into North Vietnam. The Vietnam War started during the Civil Rights movement and racial tension between whites and blacks all across America. Several members in the US government were segregationist and they had their eyes dumping their Blacks problem on Vietnam with the chaos that was happening in Vietnam at that time between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam. At that time, the South Vietnamese had 250,000 troops and North Vietnamese had 60,000 troops and the DMZ line had already been establish at the 17th parallel. Many Vietnamese peoples from both North and South did Not support going to War and killing each other over the idea of Communist. Even though several North and South Vietnamese leaders believe Vietnam should Not be divided and try to distrupt one another. But they couldn't rally enough support among the Vietnamese peoples in Vietnam to support going to War. Until Nov. 2, 1963 When US President JF Kennedy and LB Johnson order his CIA to stage a military coup assasination on a catholic South Vietnamese President, Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. This action give America the power to do what ever they want to Vietnam and to the Vietnamese peoples. And the US appointed an ex-Vietminh soldiers for Ho Chi Minh, Nguyễn Văn Thiệu as their puppet South Vietnamese President. The South Vietnamese President who cause the lives of 500,000 South Vietnamese troops killed or capture by the North Vietnamese army and their communist allies The Pathet Lao army, and the Communist Khmer Rouge army of Cambodia when he order them to be station and patrol in Kampuchea. And who told Nguyễn Văn Thiệu to do so? The United States, fear more Americans troops will be killed in Kampuchea. 20 days after the military coup assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. US President JF Kennedy was assasinated in Dallas, TX on Nov 22, 1963 and LB Johnson was sworn in as the 36th US President. On Aug 10, 1964, US President LB Johnson declare US military action to Vietnam over an alleged attack on a US destroyer, Maddox that was on patrol past the 17th parallel near Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam. While supporting the South Vietnam. 500,000 US ground troops was sent to fight in Vietnam. 40% of those US troops that were sent to fight in Vietnam were adult blacks male along with high school drop out white male, non-college white male, trouble teen white male, and white convict male were all sent to fight in Vietnam. And when these US troops arrive in Vietnam and they did their "Search and Destroyed mission." The Communist North Vietnam gain mass support for their cause and their army grew from 60,000 troops to over 1,000,000 troops. On March 16, 1968, several group of US platoons military unit rape and massacre 500 Vietnamese villagers of women, childrens, and old peoples at the village called My Lai during their Search and Destroyed mission. When news and image of My Lai massacre broadcast all across America. There was a mass out cry of protest all across America. Demanding all US millitary force pull out of Vietnam. This lead to Republican Presidential candidate Richard Nixon winning the Nov. 3, 1968 US Presidential election. The following year, when Richard Nixon took office. His 1st President excutive order was to pull out all US military force out of Vietnam. By then, the communist North Vietnamese army was already infiltrate all over in South Vietnam and attacking every since the Tet offensive that happen on Jan 30, 1968 - Sept 23, 1968. President Nixon order a nonstop US B52 bombers to bombed Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam and its seaport military supply, Haiphong. This halted the advance of the North Vietnamese army taking over all of South Vietnam. The South Vietnamese army began retaking back many city and town from Communist North Vietnam in the South. But all that end, on August 8, 1974, when US President Richard Nixon made a televise annoucement of his resignation as US President to American peoples over the Watergate Scandal. A few month later on Nov 5, 1974, the Democrats party won a landslide in both in the US Senate and the House of Representative. The following year in 1975, the newly elected Democrats took their seat in Congress. The 1st bill of law pass was to cut off all US military funding to South Vietnam. This action cause the Fall of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975 to communist North Vietnam. Thus began a mass flow of Vietnamese refugee fleeing out of Vietnam. 10 of thousands of Vietnamese refugee died at sea from hunger, thirst, illness, Thai pirates, and Chinese warships. Today over 100's of thousands young South Vietnamese childrens are born of birth defect from the US toxic biological chemical, Agent Orange which the US military spray all over rivers and forest of South Vietnam. 3,000,000 innocent Vietnamese civilians of women, childrens, and old peoples had to die in their country during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War is the worse United States War Crime in history. From Truman, JF Kennedy and LB Johnson were all were WWI and WWII veteran who sent the next young American men to become killers. Here is proof of video on how and who started the Vietnam War and you can see it and hear it for yourself on TH-cam video. Here are name of the video title:
    1) LBJ Admits assassinating Diem (1967)
    2) JFK Speak of Diem Coup -Whitehouse Tapes Assassination.

    Ngô Đình Diệm was a educated Vietnamese politician who was appointed by Vietnam Emperor Bảo Đại Nguyễn and France as President of South Vietnam and US President JF Kennedy and LB Johnson had him killed. Truman was the US President who got American involved when he offer military support to the French troops in Vietnam by sending US military aids and along US MAAG to help train and assist the French troops against Ho Chi Minh and his Vietminh in 1950. While America was engaging in the Korean War since June 25, 1950 - July 27, 1953. This is how American got involved. And when France lost all claims to all of Indochina after loosing a major battle at Diên Biên Phu to Ho Chi Minh Vietminh in 1954. America did not leave Vietnam on the belief of the Southeast Asia dominos effect to communist. That belief was later change when a WWII Veteran JF Kennedy became US President in 1961 and LB Johnson was his Vice President and this happening during the Civil Rights Movement that was happening all across America over whites and blacks. Why I post this is because for years I'm tired Americans use Vietnam War as a Propaganda War story. Telling peoples that they there to help South Vietnam fight against communist North Vietnam. When America is the root cause for the Vietnam War and the downfall of South Vietnam.

      Vietnam 🇻🇳 USA 🇺🇸 was long Stories war..sao không nói cho rõ hơn nữa..United States of America 🇺🇸 Họp Chủng Quốc của Hoa Kỳ có đầy đủ các giống Dân trên toàn TG
      Đã và cho tới ngày hôm nay vẫn còn tiếp tục các Giống Dân đến Mỹ qua nhiều hình thức và nhiều lý do..nói cho dễ hiểu trước năm 1975 ở Mỹ gốc người Hoa TrQ, Người Phillipines, Người Nam Hàn, Người Nhật Bản.v.v. nhưng trước năm 1975 thì gốc Người Việt Nam chưa có nhưng rồi đùng 1 cái trong giữa năm 1975 thì Người Việt Nam có mặc trên Đất Nước USA 🇺🇸 hơn 150,000 Người và đặc biệt lại có đủ Người Dân cả 3 Miền Bắc, Trung, Nam..Trong đó có Gốc Người Bắc 54 rất nhiều gần cả làng Phước Tỉnh toàn là người Bắc 54 được mấy Ông Cha Linh mục kéo đi hết cả làng và số người Bắc 54 ở Sàigòn cũng bỏ lên Tàu Mỹ..Còn Người Miền Trung từ Quãng Trị và Huế được bỏ Chạy đến Đà Nẵng và người Đà Nẵng cùng Người Quãng Nam đều được lên Tàu Hải Quân VNCH chở vào Đảo Phú Quốc đậu chờ ở đó và còn lại Dân Nha Trang cộng Dân Bình Định..và còn lại Dân ở Bà Rịa Vũng Tàu và Dân TP Sàigòn cộng Dân gốc Miền Nam.v.v. Trước ngày 30-4-1975 Tàu Mỹ đã neo đậu Ngoài Biển khơi Việt Nam có tất cả 10 Tàu lớn mỗi Tàu chở được hơn 10,000 người cho mỗi Tàu còn lại Tàu Việtnam Thương Tín chở được hơn 30,000 người dân Sàigòn và Tàu Trường Xuân chở được hơn 6000 người đa số Dân miền Nam còn các Tàu Hải Quân VNCH cũng chở được hơn 2000 người đến Thailand và Phillipines còn 10 Tàu Mỹ và Tàu Việt Nam Thương Tín+ Tàu Trường Xuân chạy đến Đảo Guam và có mấy Tàu Mỹ Chở tới Đảo West US, như Vậy các Tàu đã chở được hơn,150, 000 người Việt Nam được đến USA 🇺🇸 trong giữa năm 1975..
      Rồi sau mấy năm thì Người Dân cả Nước Việt Nam bỏ Chạy vượt Biên giới và vượt biển để đến Mỹ suốt 10 năm
      Còn lại thì được đi Diện HO
      Tù Nhân cải tạo của VNCH..
      Và được đi Diện bảo Lãnh Vợ Con, Cha Mẹ, Anh Em,và sau này là Diện về Việt Nam cưới Vợ ở VN được bảo Lãnh qua Mỹ..như Vậy cho đến ngày hôm nay Dân Việt Nam được Sinh Sông tại USA 🇺🇲 lên đến 2 triệu 300,000 người Việt được có mặc trên Đất Nước USA 🇺🇸 nhưng cũng chưa đông bằng các Nước, như China 🇨🇳 Indiana 🇮🇳 Philippines 🇵🇭 Korea 🇰🇷

    The Americans were just another in a long line of invaders and occupiers and they seriously underestimated their foe. Their were many reasons for the demise of South Vietnam - not least the rampant corruption that came with the money - the best I've heard is ARVN soldiers having to buy ammunition form their venal thieving officers , who got their commissions and promotions via anything but competence or merit. The one question I've never found a satisfactory answer to is - did anything actually happen in the Tonkin incident ?

    'the Portuguese and the Philippines'?? (at the 6.16 mark) What sort of history is this? Here at least rather sloppy. The Spanish were there for a very long time (some 300+ years) before it became an American 'property' of sorts up until WW11. The Portuguese were never much of a 'colonial power' in SE Asia, to put it mildly.

    At first, it just sounds too good to be true, but America will always fail when it actually comes to fighting in any war with any other countries. Why? The American wars in Korea, Vietnam, and Afghanistan were demonstrated as proof. Americans just packed and left whenever they wanted to without realizing the suffering of the people who left behind.

    Sự chia cắt tàn nhẫn này là một thứ tập tục áp đặt có tính quốc tế, đã có từ lâu trong lịch sử. Chỉ tính từ sau Đệ nhị Thế chiến, thì đã có sự chia cắt vô cùng tàn nhẫn các vùng lãnh thổ, như ở Cận Đông, nó đã gây ra thảm họa Israel-Palestine, như ở vùng Balkan, ở các vùng biên giới giữa Balan và Đức, giữa Balan và Nga, rồi là sự phân chia lãnh thổ của Đông và Tây Đức, sự phân chia đã cấu tạo rất gượng ép các phần lãnh thổ của nước Nam Tư, rồi sự cắt lãnh thổ thành hai ở Triều Tiên, rồi tới quyết định chia cắt lãnh thổ nước ta cũng vậy…
    Tất cả những chia cắt trắng trợn ấy, đều có hậu quả lâu dài, cả trăm năm sau nó vẫn còn tác hại, dù nói chỉ là tạm thời! Đấy là những dàn xếp tàn nhẫn, do chủ mưu, mặc cả, chia chác quyền lợi, ảnh hưởng giữa các nước lớn với nhau, để áp đặt, bất chấp nguyện vọng của các dân tộc trong các vùng, tại các nước bị chia cắt.
    Các nước lớn đã chơi trò dựng lên những ý thức, những lý tưởng, những tâm lý phân biệt hệ chính trị, phân biệt biên giới địa lý, đi duy trì sự chia rẽ trong đầu thằng dân nhược tiểu một cách lâu dài, để phe này kiên trì cầm súng bắn giết phe kia, để nuôi dưỡng chiến tranh cục bộ.
    Bức tường tâm lý có ảnh hưởng sâu rộng và mạnh mẽ nhất chính là bức tường ý thức hệ. Bức tường này đã chia hai thế giới: một bên là ý thức hệ xã hội chủ nghĩa, lấy nguyên tắc mác-xít đấu tranh giai cấp làm động lực, bên kia là ý thức tư sản, tư bản, lấy lý tưởng tự do dân chủ làm động lực.
