    “The easiest way to survive the war was to not be there” wow what an idea why didn’t I think of that
  • @convertible3071
    Fun fact: the best way to survive Vietnam is by playing fortunate son. It gives 30% boost to attack and defense
  • @mraaronhd
    The best advice I heard about surviving in Vietnam:
    “Get down!”
    “Shut up!”

    My great uncle was in Vietnam. 68'. I remember my grandma telling when he got home, no one could walk up behind him for weeks. He became a drunk, and died a few yrs back from complications from agent orange. The war fucked his mind up for the rest of his life. Salute to all vets🇺🇸🦅⚔🛡⚓

    My grandpa served in the Vietnam War, as a sergeant, and he told me stories of these type of things.

    Thank you Simple History. I waited 65 years for your video on how to survive the Vietnam War. Now I can safely survive it.
  • The best way to survive the Vietnam war was being a „fortunate son“

    Me, an Australian: Yeah... that ain't gonna work, chief

    My grandfather was one of the 30,000 Canadians who volunteered to fight in Vietnam. It would be interesting to see a video covering the topic of Canada in Vietnam as this is mostly forgotten even by Canadians
