In episode 1 was first time I heard of Captain Roger Donlon, he was an incredible solder, it's a shame comments was disable so fellow soldiers cannot offer condolences and or pay their respects..... Captain Roger Donlon Born January 30, 1934, Died January 25, 2024 (aged 89) just a couple weeks ago.....
I'm a veitnam veteran and if our youth will ever understand why they have the amount of freedom they enjoy daily..... they need to fully understand the power of our country military.. and show more respect to our military and veterans
Thank you for your brave service and the sacrifices you and your heroic fallen comrads made for all of our freedoms from communist oppression. You will live forever.
Vietnam was not invading US or allies. The French colony war ended at Dienbienphu 1953. War criminal Kissenger died last week. Lived to be a hundred. Millions of his Cambodian victims were not so lucky. American O.S.S. trained Vietminh 1944-5. Later V.C. Charlie 1968. American O.S.S. recommended in late 1945. Highly advisable America keep out of this French quagmire.
I'm 35 and I fully agree, the generation b Younger than me have nothing but contempt for our military and our country for that matter, hell they don't even like our constitutional freedoms (1A/2A) it's a sad state of affairs and It seems to follow the trend of "hard time create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard time" and the cycle continues. I'm not looking forward to seeing what the US becomes in the next few decades. 😮💨

@@Kruppt808 Diem was a violent dictator who had killed thousands of South Vietnamese by 1960, there was nothing freedom about it. You have a common revisionist history that first world immigrant Vietnamese perpetuate because they were beneficiaries of Diem's system.
The vietnamese are fine now that everybody has decided to leave them alone. Anybody is welcome to visit vietnam as a guest tourist wharever or if you want to even live there just respect that it is their country.
In 1945 just after the 2nd WW the Trueman doctrine suggested that no country or people should be colonised....except for French indochina because the US were afraid the French would fall into or under the soviet communist influence. Hence the US support for the French recolonisation of French indochina. After dien bien phu and in 1954 an international agreement suggested that a vote take place in 1956 that would have unified Vietnam. Ho chi Minh could have followed the US but instead the US refused to ratify the 1954 agreement and it never took place. Subsequently the only support for ho chi Minh came via the communist bloc. As he once said ...better to sniff French shit for 5 years than to eat Chinese shit forever. He was a nationalist and a patriot and a US supporter until he was abandoned and as ever could see the long term in 50 or 100 years while the US could only see to the next political cycle....in the US. Read A Bright Shining Lie...
I totally agree…Ho Chi Minh’s Army was never called the “NVA”… it’s official name was PAVN (Peoples Army of Vietnam) … just sloppy editing and research!
At approximately 36 minutes 12 seconds, they say lieutenant, corporal, so-and-so, guess what there’s no such thing as a lieutenant corporal this is such bullshit. It’s unbelievable.
Good grief, @18:00-ish the US milatary is only allowed to shoot so many rounds at the enemy and with permission only, I bet the Vietcong didn't have that rule, what waste of US solders......
There was more white men in the war then black at the time. I'm sure Black men got medals too but there probably were more white men getting medals because of the difference in numbers.
To the editors of these two documentaries-next time take better care of matching the script to actual combat events (dates in particular). For example, there were pictures of 1961 or 1962 events used as if was part of 1965 “Starlite” battle.

Nice to see an educated reply from the Vietnamese perspective. America followed to the "communist threat" path, Vietnam could have been a friend. Instead they were abused, lied to, invaded and manipulated. Macnamara's book "in retrospect" offers interesting insight into the political folly of the war from the US side

@randybobandy9828 I was born during Vietnam War. It was a French colony problem.
wish I had been a sailor on that ship and hear Kennedys speech, what an honor.
Thanks to and G-D bless all those who fight for freedom.
You do understand the Vietnamese fought for their freedom first from the French, then the USA, then the Chinese....and they won

War was never declared during Americas time in Nam

i'd like to see a more balanced reporting.

Extremely brave people & extremely stupid politicians.
Love the details of these documentaries. Just Amazing how I haven’t seen Not one black man getting medal?
There was more white men in the war then black at the time. I'm sure Black men got medals too but there probably were more white men getting medals because of the difference in numbers.
This documentary is quite interesting, but is the irritating magnified border shot inside of the frame border really necessary?
😮😮
That sure wasn’t the M203

Welcome Nam Vets !🫵🏽🫡✊🏿❤🇺🇸
America didn't learn a lesson from Vietnam. Look where we are now.
Exactly.
The people did just not our stupid government and biden learned nothing. Considering he had to do with the war then too.
The war started in 1965 Johnson started the bombing on Feb.8 my brother died on Feb.7 camp Holloway pleiku.
the war started in 1945. American idiots just got dragged in further and further and still lost.
The war started before '65
