I served at pleiku in this operation, 4th inf div. at pla -mea. Hooked up with 1st inf div. at kon-toon pushing east to pleiku. M-48 tanks and M-113 apc.
If ONLY politicians did not interfered and let soldiers do whats they do best and know how..i strongly believed the outcome off vietnam war will be a lot different today. Just my pov though..😊
That is so true I hate the fact that politicians install ROE’s that they themselves wouldn’t follow if it was them there in the 💩. However i don’t think we had any business being there.
It all has to do with whether you really believe in what you're fighting for. Taking the politics out of it. They wanted us out of their country and most of our guys didn't want to be there.
*I realy admire the Vietnams for being so creative with their traps. Even if their enemy has succeeded to enter their land there will still be many dangerous obstacles*
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. 3) Lyndon Johnson -Report on the Gulf of Tonkin Incident. 4) Whistleblower John White on Gulf of Incident. 5) LBJ announce Vietnam increase and rise in draft. 6) Violent racism during peaceful protests in the Civil Rights Movement. 7) President Lyndon Johnson using the N word. 8) The Truth about the Vietnam War (PragerU) 9) US bombing civilian village, actual footage 10) US troops spray Agent Orange from riverboat in Vietnam. 11) Veteran tells why the Vietnamese hate him 12) A US Vietnam Soldier Describes his Experiences of War Crime. 13) Incident Hill 192 14) My Lai Masscre (History) 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.
I fully agree! it was a war for profit by the financial elites in America,when the war was over they admitted they didn't go into Vietnam to win the war!! WTF !!! The world is a juice funhouse!
@@thehawk7064 I appreciate why you and many Americans would want to bring back the Vietnam War. US ground force was beaten. Because US Commander general was incompetence and had the US patrol the same route. This made easy for the NVA and Vietcong place an ambush on the US ground troops when they were doing patrol. The only US branch did the most damage to the NVA and the Vietcong was the US Navy and Airforce.
@@BinhLe-bz2eu i don’t want to bring it back, granted so much we didn’t know at the time could have changed it or even kept it from happening… i am just opposed to what it did to so many American men… and how it divided this country and that same rift it still divides today. Still 💯 behind the Soldiers… and i still hate the politics & politicians that sent then there.
The real name of The North Vietnamese Army known as The NVA to Americans. The communist didn't recognize South Vietnam. They considered both north and south as one Vietnam. So the called their army PAVN. People's Army Of Vietnam

Excellent account, also appreciate no loud distracting sound track.
Thank you,I couldn't take my eyes off the screen.

There has to be more footage than the same old stock reels shown here. And, why the jump cuts sprinkled around in this video?
I agree. In fact its just stock footage zoomed in
Army footage from all types of units .
great session
Great video.
...so they just ran back to Cambodia and regrouped to attack again...insane way to fight a war....
Much respect to the Vietnamese. They proved one thing: That all the fire power in the world short of a Nuke won't Automatically win u the war.
