Vietnam War, the Last Secrets

I served as a Marine infantry in Vietnam in 68-69.....Vietnam is a beautiful country and green as it can be...the people are very hard working in an agricultural society...they live in hooches with many generations in the same home ....they put a great emphasis on age and experience in life so the elderly are looked upon as resources and they are listened to for their resolution too problems that all farmers have worldwide....they are a tough people because they have been invaded and reinvaded for a couple hundred years...China,French,Japanese and the American have at one time or other been occupied Vietnam....they have kept their identity and now are now the fastest growing country in Asia.....wishing them success in their emerging as a nation....how can you you beat a people that refuse to be beaten

My wife is Vietnamese-American. Her parents lived through the war, came to America. She’s tough as nails. They’re absolutely nuts, in a good way. Nobody will understand these people’s durability until you meet them and live with them up close. ❤️

My uncle volunteer for the Marine Corps in 1966. He was hit by shrapnel from a mine and was left a paraplegic until he died in 2023. He lost the use of both legs, his right arm, and suffered an anoxic brain injury from dying several times on the operating table and his brain not getting enough oxygen. This war was totally pointless. And people still suffer from it to this day. Our government should be ashamed.

Lots of respect from 🇦🇫 to the people of Veitnam ❤ 🇻🇳

I visited Ho Chi Min City (Saigon ) and nearly drop a tear when I was in the war museum.. I have a huge respect for Vietnamese people.. The resilience is unmatched!!!!!

Vietnamese are absolutely unbelievable strong people. And very dirigent. My big respect to them.

hi, i am Vietnamese, i love all people on the world

I'm Gen X but my father fought in Vietnam and me growing up he never spoke a word about it. He spent the rest of his life as a working , reserved , quiet alcoholic that rarely would smile or chuckle. I believe this was caused by his time in the war and how he lived with it until passing away at age 59. The ironic thing is many of my friends happen to be Vietnamese both in the States and online still in Vietnam, so I found this documentary to be quite interesting.

You just can’t win a war against people that are so determined, and already fighting for over centuries on their own soil. On one side flat tops, planes, bombs, and state of the art equipment($$$$$), On the other side bicycles, pick axe, AK47, bamboo sticks, and a bowl of rice($00.00) and still win. I feel really sorry for the people that lost their lives on both sides. And for what……?

I am from the UK. I have had the pleasure of visiting Vietnam on a number of occasions. One of our guides told us that he took a group of US veterans back to an area where they fought. They fell into conversation with some locals through him. It came about that they had been on opposite sides during one particular battle on a certain date. Amazing coincidence perhaps to just come across each other on the day they visited? A mutually respectable conversation took place, soldiers thrown into conflict, sharing their experiences. My wife and I love the country and the people.

All my Dad wanted to do was go to college and get a good job. He loved listening to Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, CCR, Marshall Tucker Band. I miss you Daddy.

What makes a nation unstoppable is its people being United. They would've never gave up, they would've fought to the last.

Vietnamese people have a profound understanding of the pain and loss wrought by war. Over nearly 1000 years, they endured Chinese domination, followed by a century of conflict against the French and Americans, as well as the 1979 border war with China. While documentary films accurately depict aspects of Vietnam's history, but it is only a small part of Vietnam's history. War, in its wake, leaves only devastation and anguish for all parties involved. That's why, in times of peace, Vietnam always wanted reconciliation and goodwill with all countries in the world. Hope for peace in the world🤝

My gramp died at sea during his attempt escape the war after the North took over the south. He was a south Vietnamese soldier. I never once met him and wish I could’ve, Rest in peace grandpa….

I love ❤️ veitnam 🇻🇳 from Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Tôi là người Việt Nam. Ông tôi kể lại, ngày đó toàn dân kháng chiến. Phụ nữ trẻ em đều là chiến sĩ Việt Nam.
