Is it just me or does these old vintage documentary films are much more informative than today's one's...
Agree. These days it seems like documentaries are just used as tools to push political agendas first and foremost and factual information is sorted and manipulatively filtered through.
@@Jay-kc1ql exactly...
Back then journalists told Americans what they NEEDED to hear. Now, they tell Americans what they WANT to hear..
You'right. I feel like today documentary are over dramatic, producers try to make everything feel intnese
They have always been propaganda
I fought against these soldiers in the Vietnam War and I can tell you without a doubt these men and women were the bravest people on the planet. They were very aggressive and extremely fierce and the Vietnamese people were very fortunate to have such men fighting for their freedom. They never quit!
I worked on a drilling rig with a vietnamese gentleman. He told us that he grew up in underground tunnels, because he was the son of an American soldier. We called him 'squirrel' because he always had a mouth full of sunflower seeds. He had like ten kids, he was a good dude.
Chris Stapleton what’s was your company?
So what we were better. What are you a lousy Communist lover? Dont defend them trash.WE didnt lose the war the politcians gave up. We would have won.
Fighting for their freedom?? They helped bring communist rule to South Vietnam.
@@CLoak183 And now South Vietnamese we are happy that there is no foreign army here, there is no foreign government established and then killing civilians. How would you feel if the Vietnamese army came your country, raping your women, then forming a government and propagating to the world is freedom?
Wow! I found it! From 54 years ago!
It's amazing how this scene about the Vietcong rice ration at 14:36 has stayed with me over the decades. You know how you buy rice from the local Chinese restaurant, and it is tightly stuffed into that little white paper box? Well, virtually every time I've opened one of those boxes over the years, I've re-lived the viewing of this quick scene about a Vietcong's rice ration stuffed into a ball and carried into battle.
Seriously, tonight we had fried rice for dinner, and I finally decided to search for that scene on TH-cam. It took me about an hour of sifting through old CBS news clips, and I can't believe I actually found it! Let me see, in 1965 I was twelve years old, and I'm now 65. How's that for proof of the staying power of a powerful image!
👍
Wow, awesome story from one generation vet to another! God bless!
ok
I love that. My dad will have anecdotes from weird documentaries he remembered from childhood and Ill find them on the internet for him. Isn't technology great 😂
I think your math is way off. Not saying you where never there just that your maths off .
I'm American and have respect for the Viet Cong , they fought smart , hard , and fierce. The Vietnam war was pointless so many deaths on both sides
Until 1975. ~1000 billion $ spent for this war. Too waste.
We are friends now. Vietnamese people now don't hate the American people

At 74 years of age today I vividly remember the Vietnam war, seen from the UK. But this piece of film shows why the US could never win the war, despite overwhelming firepower. It confirms the story told in the book by Geoffrey Ward and Ken Burns 'The Vietnam War an intimate history'
The Internet won’t help either 🥵
I'm 74 years old too and ask any of Veterans if it would have been left up to the military it would have been won at least in a year the reason we didn't use all of our firepower limit nuclear bombing of Hanoi and invade bomb their harbor city also but the politicians had the final say in everything when that happens you don't win take a hill or anything 1 day next day abandon it you can't go past this line or that they could go anywhere we beat them in every major battle but we were never going to win because of the politicians and politics

When the war ended on April 30, 1975 hundreds of thousands of people across the US came out into streets and parks to celebrate the end of the war and to hail the victorious Vietnamese. I was one of them, having been active in the antiwar movement.

This is a good video: Teaches real grounded information.
Their real weapon was the awesome ability to come together and improvise! That's why they defeated the Mongols the Chinese the French and the yanks ! Also Vietnamese are quite intelligent which is always overlooked by these big powerful opponents!
Historians say the Vietcong irregulars were wiped out, and 1975 victory was from the North Vietnamese regular army. But the Vietcong paved the way for victory by their willingness to die and drag out the war.

@The Outlaw Torn You hardly can call anyone else violent, murderous and imperialistic. Have you forgotten CIA activity in the 60's & 70's in Latin America overthrowing several legitimately elected governments because they did not agree with them. Chile, Argentina (US supported the overthrow by Argentine Military Dictator), El Salvador and Paraguay to name but a few.
Lmao 😜 Good one. Weak comments. Check out some comments under clips from Platoon. U get some worked up people. And good info. Not sure why. Peace
I think its notable that comparing the narration in this film compared to similar type of films from ww2, this film really does not do much downplaying of the enemy capability. Here he just states it the way it is (it seems). Probably scary to see. Even scarier to experience of course.
The Viet Cong were disciplined and listened to their leadership that is the first key to any war is communication and whatever your teaching your troops they have to believe in the mission no just feel they are cannon foder for political gain also patience is key pick and choose your battles
okay lieutenant trap savage tv
Yeah. The Vietcong and PAVN felt very different from the average US grunt.
Poor young 18,19, and 20 year old young American men who got caught in the middle of this mess because of our corrupt Government. I feel so sad for those young men. God Bless every Vietnam Veteran who had to serve over there. It wasn't right and it wasn't fair to all of you. Thank you for your service.
I say the same thing anybody I see wearing a Vietnam hat I give them the utmost respect. We sent them over to die such a foolish fucking War we could not deal with the climate in the jungle we were way in over our heads
Our country called and they answered .Blame the Dems. Another fine mess they got us into.
@@khaosqueen7900 Actually blame Dems and Repubs. Eisenhower was president when the Geneva accords were violated and the elections designated for 1956 in Vietnam were illegally cancelled by the south. What did he do about it? This war could have been prevent altogether. Nixon's actions were barbaric. Both Dems and Repubs were responsible for this bloodbath.
My cousin was killed in 1970. He was a Marine. What's sad it that he was going home in 1 week. He went home in a flag-draped coffin instead.
@@josephsassone3753 That is so heartbreaking.
The young people that conformed the Vietcong guerrillas had a lot of ingenuity, skillful use of nature and terrain around them, but most of all determination and courage to pursue their cause which was to throw the enemy out and unify their country. The NV regular army also fought relentlessly in many cases outsmarting the enemy, but the contribution of civilians like old men, women and children was also remarkable. My high respect to that nation.

I remember watching the nightly news after dinner, where the daily body count was listed. I had friends in high school who were trying to make friends in Canada, in case their number came up in the draft lottery. The "police action" ended the year that I turned eighteen. The last year of the draft lottery, my birthday came up third.
I was born May 25 1951 and pulled #26 a fast off number. The only lottery i ever won.
Thank You for your bravery and service, you and your brothers-in-arms.

14Mar68 Operation Ford. I was a radio operator and stepped into a pungi pit. Fortunately I slid down the side of the pit at an angle, so when my boot hit the stake it just pushed it out of the way. Plus the soil was sandy and loose. I think it was an old pit. Kind of a helpless feeling though, sliding down the side of that pit with a 60 pound ruck on and no way to stop. Just lucky on that one.

There was never an objective in Vietnam it was just find the enemy and kill them. It was based on getting high enemy body count. To win wars you take the enemy’s land and continue to move forward. In Vietnam when the US took many hills and other vital territories from the enemy they’d just get a body count, take documents and get on helicopters and go back to base and the enemy would go back and refortify their positions.
To keep and guard huge areas of jungle would take millions of men you dummy, if you have killed all the enemy in the area you don't need to do that.
Rufus Chucklebutty it’s obvious you never served in the military. Because of all wars we had and won it was done by taking the enemy’s land you dumb bell. For example D-Day in WWII by taking the strategic beaches in Normandy and getting a toehold increased our chances of defeating Hitler and freeing France. In Iraqi Freedom we took the enemy’s land and kept moving forward by building forward operating bases as we went further into Saddam’s territory.
You're right Country Boy as a Vietnam veteran the war should have been fought in the north early on not in the south the North would have caved in after continuous bombing but then what would have been the end results after we left there probably the same
@@americanoutdoorsman_1133 war in Europe was a liberation of towns a cities not empty jungle, once the German army was pushed back there was no need to station troops to guard all of liberated France, even German civilians offered no threat once their towns surrendered , to guard the entire Vietnamese jungle would obviously be impossible and totally pointless as there is nothing there to guard.
Why didn't the U.S. forces study the American revolution.!
I am still waiting for someone to tell me what the legitimate reason was that gave us the "right" to be in Vietnam in the first place. It's been 45 years since that war ended....and I'm STILL waiting.

A total waste of lives!! I have NEVER understood what makes certain people feel they have the right to tell others what kinds of governments they can have!!!
I honestly believe that JFK was assassinated because he had made his position on war in Vietnam clear. He was strongly against it. I believe the military industrial complex, got in the ear of some dangerous, but influential people. The public excuse for war was a fight against communism, the true reason was money, in my opinion. Hopefully they declassify the JFK files and we find out the truth.
ikr
It's more complicated than that. Part of the problem is over-simplifying things to fit a narrative. Facts, Truth, and Reality is not so easily defined.
Yeah well said. What right did the Chinese and Soviets have to fund communist guerillas to impose their system on the South Vietnamese? Lucky the USA stepped in to show the Chinese and Soviets exactly what you said - you have no right to force a system on people, especially one which has killed 100 million people. For the help of the USA, millions of South Vietnamese will be forever grateful, just as the South Koreans are.

You forget that the U.S. was asked to come to Nam, by an ally, the legitimate government of South Viet Nam. You can argue the quality of that ally, but ally they were.
Was the war worth the cost? No, obviously not, but that is the fault of the politicians, not the common soldiers. Oh, and I view most officers as politicians, not soldiers. Not all mind you, but certainly most.
what is GI mean?
The south never had the support from the villages nor from any province outside the cities. One thing that has never been spoken was the agreement that the NVA would only enter Saigon after the American embassy had been evacuated.
The Vietnamese never surrendered to an invading enemy.
Vietnam became a French colony in 1877 with the founding of French Indochina, which included Tonkin, Annam, Cochin China and Cambodia. (Laos was added in 1893.) The French lost control of their colony briefly during World War II, when Japanese troops occupied Vietnam.

Probably, unironically, the nicest thing you could have said to them given the circumstances lol. The fact that the US STILL went into Afghanistan and Iraq after this really boggles the mind, Did they think the problem wasn't the political realities of guerrilla warfare and the appeal of revolution to colonized, impoverished people but actually simply the fact that it was a jungle? Cause they burned pretty much all of it down with napalm at one point or another.
Southtown j - Yes, We the South Vietnamese people were very fortunate to have such "men & women brave fight for us". & they keep us safe for many years. We will never forget this big sacrifice to keep peace . Many young Vietnamese also died at the battlefield for their country . My younger brother one of those thousand shoots by VC , died at age 22 years . He died for his own country . If a communist government treating their own people " right & respects " without control food plus government corrupts daily. & if treating to their own citizen just as human . It will never have " Boat People " in 1978 to 1979 happen . If a communist government treating people normal way . It will be no one so scared & try hard to escape from communism country .
you are a fool. they don't kill real Vietnamese people, they just kill their enemies. The ARVN is their enemy, so it makes perfect sense for them to kill those traitors, because it was your brother and grandfather who killed their children and relatives. The ARVN soldiers left the country because they were afraid of revenge, you helped the US to create crimes in Vietnam. People like your brother and grandfather are murderers when they help foreigners kill their own people. I'm Korean, my brother fought in Vietnam out of conscription, and he witnessed the brutality of the ARVN. Vietnam is inherently a unified country, it was the US that intervened to prevent the election from taking place in Vietnam in 1956 and they deliberately broke the Gionever Agreement and divided Vietnam. You have to pay for what you did.
I'm so moved, I'm so admirable in Vietnamese, but I hate war so much.
Long live Vietnam
