It is the late 1960s, and the US involvement in the Vietnam conflict has been ongoing for several years now. There is a burgeoning anti-war movement at home, but you, a patriotic American, have heard Uncle Sam’s call, and decided to join the few and the proud.

  • I’ve played Rising Storm: Vietnam long enough to recognise those streets
  • @neofulcrum5013

    I really enjoyed this POV video, well done Simple History. The battle of Tet was a defining moment of the Vietnam War that truly challenged the Americans and along with their subsequent retreat motivated them to improve their strategies and tactics.
  • @maxruggiero4338
    4:27 amazing attention to detail with the like 2 frame delay between fire and hit
  • “I cut my teeth in the trenches of the Somme, you larped your Santa Claus butt through Vietnam!” JRR Tolkien
  • Nice video idea. Hope you make more of them for other time periods
  • @Chris-qv5mc
    Very interesting video!! Would like to see more PoV takes from moments in history!!
  • @ilovedouma7676
    This is honestly super cool, it gives the video kind of a VR feel
  • And remember, switching to secondary weapon always fast than reload your primary one😂
