Oct 11, 2008 - LOL you three are funny...good reading. It don't matter if your in the US military or the Dutch military we are all brother in arms. I agree with most Americans Iraq is just another Vietnam and a Political war. Don't condon the soldiers they just follow orders, condon the politicans who send them there to do thier fighting. As far as vietnam being a sensitive subject in the US. For most yes, because the war in Iraq is following its footsteps. Peace out.101st ABN - Screaming Eagles

Oct 11, 2008 - Dear triforceofgaming,i can understand your feelings.And need to thank to your parents,because they didn't teach you to think wrong about fight of vietnamese.Sorry but i think you are innocent,anyway in this case it is good.Just read some books about what RVN did and the role of america,you 'll understand something.Don't listen to stupid ones!
Dave839 Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - vietnammycountry, I've been reading your comments and you have misconceptions about this war. You are not free, the books you read have to be approved by political officers and censored by party officials. Here in the U.S. we have access to many different opinions as you yourself have seen. If the NVA hadn't violated the Paris peace accords, you might not live in a third world country and might have a broader wold view. While democratic-socialism can work for certain cultures, Communism is a lie

Oct 11, 2008 - This runs like a Nazi Propaganda Movie. The American war in Vietnam was in reality a War of Indenpendence for the Vietnamese! And WON by the Vietnamese. For the Yanks it was the loss of a generation! As Britney Spears sings "Wops they done it again" IRAQ! Dum F**K Yanks.
BRUNTER Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - nope the vietnam war was just another war by proxi between the usa and the ussr the vietnamese were jus used by both sides as pawns in a power game witch both sides lost
madken Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - Agreed! The USSR was the enabler to the Freedom of Vietnam. The Americans are the complete Losers and still are. Its no longer a democracy. It has destroyed democracies in past i.e. Chile. And since the end of WWII has invaded 75 nations for one reason or another. And get this The genocide of over a Million Muslims in Iraq alone. It(the U.S.)is one big pile of Shite! Oh John MCANN is the next president of the U.S.! Another done deal. The end is nearer than we all think.. Or is it? ? ?

Oct 11, 2008 - I served for my country, I have balls and my familly has fought in several wars, but America has been lying about the real motivation behind many of the war fostered by its politicians; this report is propaganda.

Oct 11, 2008 - I admire anyone who signs on the dotted line and fights for their country, beit in their country or sent to fight in another. May good luck be with you.

twinturbine Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - The Bay of Tonkin incident was patently FALSE. By Macnamara's own admission it was unlikely the USS Maddox was actually fired upon.Furthermore the simplistic version of geopolitical history presented totally blaming the north & ignoring US misreading & diplomatic bungling of the situation is an affront to the millions the war left dead.This is disgraceful! IF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC IS GOING TO MAKE A FICTITIOUS WAR MOVIE, WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT IT ISN'T MASQUERADED AS A FACTUAL DOCUMENTARY.
AccordGTR Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - yes i agree with twinturbine. Nat Geo so conveniently left out the fact that a sister battalion of Hal Moore's was massacred by the NVA with over 300 casualties or 70%. It was the start of 7 years of war that left 58,000 dead Americans and a nation in the worst depression since the 1930's that it took more than 10 years to recover economically. Only the oil compnies & military industry became richer & stronger as a result of the Vietnam War
hans421 Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - The Vietnam war was a Zionist organized war. French Zionists were to organize education and weapons for Ho Chi Minh,to start killing civilians and French government troops. Later US troops would come in to fight the communists. A CIA/Kissinger/Communist deal.The actual goal was to destroy the Catholic civilian population, much like the Muslems now in Iraq.Arms deals,depopulation and destruction of religious people = NWO goals.
RomanSedlak Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - yeah thats true..there was no tonkin incident..its not so long that the US admin. said it was just made up...said that National Geographic makes such lies.

Oct 11, 2008 - Always the anti-war postings; it's sad that so many youtubers don't realize that some things are worth fighting for. South Vietnam had every bit as much right to be free of communism as the North had to embrace it. The North had Russia & China backing them, it was a noble effort for the US to back the South and give them a fighting chance. The South would have prevailed had the politicians not tied one hand behind the military's back and the media not aided the North with the anti-war propaganda

sparda17 Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - hey im viet and i wanna know was OPERATION ROLLING THUNDER did that kill most the north viet and viet cong infantry?
seizure0 Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - Rolling Thunder was a bombing campaign that lasted from March of '65 till Nov. '68. main objective being to hamper North Vietnam's material support of insurgents in the south, as well as convince them to leave South Vietnam alone altogether. it did not work.
seizure0 Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - don't you mean 'sweep & clear' virgin?
seizure0 Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - i understand your point, the question being, is it our responsibility? if so, how does a nation determine who to help, when, & by what means (support, training, air strikes, boots on the ground, etc)? we certainly can't help everyone as i'm sure you understand. But yes, if we do commit troops to a conflict, politicians should not dictate the tone. as for the media, without tossing the Constitution out the window there is little we can do. propaganda will always exist on every side of a conflict.

Oct 11, 2008 - Opinions are like assholes everyone has one.lol. As far as me being a computer commando, no I done my share of fighting in the military. To sit here and to piss you off is just hilarious. You just have no clue you dumb fucker. When you can grow some balls and serve your country and serve in a war zone then you have the right to talk shit. I have fought the taliban you stupid fuck read earlier post. And you call me a sorry ass son of a bitch. The only joke here is you two. Get a life.
