    After almost 50 years most of the Vietnamese people have already forgiven the Americans for what they did to Vietnam . But unfortunately many Americans are still bitter for losing the war and keep angry against Vietnam . They never miss a single chance to criticize our country .

    Nice vid brother! Train area where you stand or sit had way more room than the one in Thailand. I am glad the relationship has changed between our two countries. John McCain had incredible courage to be able to go back with no resentment or hate and visit/re-live where he was held captive is powerful stuff and a lesson for everyone

    Thank you Gift, Joe and David for sharing your 1st day in Hanoi. That train street was a bit scary as it seemed as if the train was going quite fast! The prison was fascinating but had a definite slant towards Communist ideals. I liked the added philosophical bit from Mr. McCain about his experiences there, which I guess that every serviceman must expect if they go to war. It was a great mistake for USA to ever get involved in that conflict and also the "Secret War" in Laos. Having worked in prisons, I always take an interest in prison history and current practices, which in many countries the treatment of prisoners is still far from humane. Take care with all those crazy motor scooter drivers. God bless you all 😀❤🙏

    I’m a Veteran but was stationed in nearby Korea at the time. Vietnam looks beautiful and the People seem nice, however, I have no wish to visit there. I was too young to understand the politics, but I’ve read that S Vietnam asked the World for help, and the Americans responded, but I don’t know, especially since the French got out. There are negatives like the North and Cong were butchering people in the south.
    As far as John McCain, he was a RINO and worked against his party. There was a story that he was involved with a fire on a ship, but not sure that’s true, besides being a POW hero!
    With respect to the Americans and other Allies who died, as a traveler, Vietnam is not on my list.

    You'll notice the concrete "beds" in the cells are sloped down from where the legs were shackled, that was so the prisoners couldn't lay down very long. I was there in 1999 and 2001 with a group of Vietnam vets and have videos of some of the trips on my channel. Truc Bach lake there has a marker showing the spot McCain was pulled out of the water. There's also part of a B-52 sticking out of a little lake that they repaint the US star every year. The Vietnam Military History Museum is okay. Go to Ha Long Bay and do a dragon boat tour and see some caves. Not sure where you are going after Hanoi, but if you want some ideas of places to see over there let me know. Wish i was there again, have a couple of Tiger beers for me and some spring rolls with peanut sauce. Martin

Thanks Joe for allowing people to see this infamous place. How narrow some people are to think a visit to history is an endorsement? I walked on Omaha + Utah Beach + took pictures where 10K of our boys lost their lives. Was very moving. Great video Joe! Rick

    Joe, nice to see you all having fun. Been doing business with Vietnam since 2007. People are great, food is incredible and they can be tough as nails. In recent history, they spanked the French, the Americans and the Chinese.
    My thoughts and prayers to those that lost family members and goods in the recent storm. One factory I buy from had it's roof peeled off. Thankfully, no injuries. They evacuated to a safe place but it took a couple of days to reestablish contact.

    Hanoi Hilton. Hard to say I enjoyed seeing it, but it was interesting and enormously disturbing to see what our guys went through. First time I've ever seen any of it. My father was in the Vietnam war late 60s like 67-68 or so in the Navy on the USS Coral Sea. The train, I wonder how many people have been slammed into by that train over the years? I appreciate the tour even with a few tears..

We also shared some clips of John McCain talking about his experience as a POW. In addition, we shared some info in the description of our video from Wikipedia about John McCain’s lifetime career. No propaganda intended, this was our experience in Hanoi today.
