The Vietnamese fought bravely against China for hundred years, dynasty after dynasty. Then they fought the french during colonial era, then fought the Japanese during ww2, then fought the french and british again, then fought the US then fought China, then fought Khmer rouge.
May all the wars will ended. Only peace for you, brave patriotic vietnamese. You defended your land from all threats. The true freedom fighters. đđâź

@ COLTON fool I am not American lol maybe you should remember not all people are Americans who speak English.
The US were afraid of escalating the war by marching ground troops into Cambodia and Laos. Seems fair enough until you consider the fact that the US dropped more bombs on Cambodia and Laos than the entirety of of bombs dropped in WW2, which still go off to this day.
Different wars lol
They were actually trying to win World War II. Because it wasn't ran by the politicians like in Vietnam.

Lol literally saying that the United States faked its way into Vietnam causing the deaths of a lot of people and the scarring of a lot more lol I feel like America wanted to lose because they didn't want China to get in with the USSR and start ww3 and yes the USSR and China wanted to go in there it was evident when the USSR started sending AK-47s and America was like okay we have to lose this but slowly so China and Russia doesn't get in and China also wanted to get in the war to annex Vietnam

And the worst thing is they did not remember what they just say and make the same mistake all over again.â My friendâs grandfather who was a NVA tanker.
Did you watch the video . The nva did nothing to defeat us military . It was American media and irrational fear that China and the USSR would enter a war but that wasnât happening
@@ci6516 I think the quote from my friendâs grandfather has nothing to do with the video. By the way, ironically, your comment actually proved that he was right. After 46 years since the end of the war, you still think the NVA is a bunch of idiots who fought head on against the strongest army in the world and lost every fight for nothing. By the way, how could you attack the North when there was a VC base in Cu Chi, 60 km from Centre of Saigon. Your enemy was not just the NVA. There were the VC, the farmers who lost their loved ones after US bombardments, Laos and Cambodians who actually let the Vietnamese used their border to supply the trail, and even the South Vietnamese politicians who chose to work as a spy for the VC. How can you defeat someone when you donât even know who they are?
@@ci6516 watching the video doesn't make anything a fact the narrator is talking about đ
Ak47s are almost always more accurate than the person shooting them. Them being inaccurate is mostly a myth.
yup. just because they're not sub-moa high end ARs does not mean they're inaccurate at all, you can effectively put rounds accurately on target from a few hundred meters away.
They got high recoil but super strong so they kinda are inaccurate cuz of the recoil you just gotta put a grip attachment on it
@@drrealdoctor2207 yeah no.
@@eckiefleckie4938 yes fr a grip on a gun reduces recoil by a lot, and you say no use your brain my G
@@drrealdoctor2207 I said no because theyâre not inaccurate, like at all. A foregrip reduces recoil but generally wonât increase accuracy unless you are taking follow up shots
The most unknown fact is that it was a pointless war with wasted lives and resources :/
The American incursion simply violated the currents of history. Time is always on the side of the local population; eventually, the crusaders must return home. Except maybe Germany and Japan.
Turns out not to be true. The communist needed to defeat the south faster than what they did, in order for the communist strategy to work in rolling through to Australia. That obviously never happened, and the duration of the war caused the Soviet Union to eventually collapse, to to the financial strain of keeping the communist north from collapsing.

Dr. STRANGELOVE - Jack D. Ripper:
Mandrake, do you recall what Clemenceau once said? He said "War is too important to be left to the generals." When he said that, fifty years ago, he may have been right. But now war is too important to be left to the politicians. They have neither the time nor inclination for strategic thought.
If war is too important to be left to politicians, and too dangerous to be left to mentally ill service members, then maybe war should be left up to machines? Call it a "doomsday machine."
Politicians determine the goals. Generals want to win wars regardless of domestic or international political outcomes.

Ball answering President Lyndon Johnsonâs question at a White House meeting on July 21, 1965 about whether the United States could win a war in the âjungle rice-paddiesâ of Vietnam.
The Vietnam War maybe a disastrous war, but also the Sino-Vietnamese War which will occur 5 years after that war ended. It showed that Vietnam just defeated very powerful nations. But what about Afghanistan?
The stakes were never as big in Afghanistan (land locked) as VN (adjacent to shipping routes in South China Sea). Today, the Americans are headed back to the South China Sea, with ominous implications.

My grandfather's he remembers men throwing away M16 to pick the M14 up off their dead comrade. M14 got a bad rap it's a large caliber rifle hard to Control full auto. Buy it was reliable dependable and had the power needed to cut thru the jungle. Thats why an m14 would go thru many hands while many m16 were left in the dirt.
I have no idea about the involvement of the South Korea during Vietnam War! that was an eye-opener.
Yeah and they're always asking the Japanese to apologise. Funny they never do any apologising themselves.
@David KimWell Japan did apologise and pay reparations in 1965. They even offerred to compensate individuals. The ROK rejected the offer and said they would handle individual compensation and collected the money from Japan. It seems to me that victims in the ROK should be asking their own government where the money went.
@David KimIn a world full of victims it's always someone elses fault. The current government is of the same country. They are fully responsible for the decisions of their predecessors.
@David KimNah. Just sayin'.
We would lose 200 soldiers fighting to take a hill, only to take said hill, then immediately turn around and go back to base giving said hill back to Charlie. Rinse repeat. There's your Vietnam War in a nutshell
5:54 "...and gave free rein..." is miswritten as "...and gave free reign..." in the captions. "Free rein" refers to a horse's reins where you are letting the horse do what it wants, by loosening your grip on the leather reins that normally guide the horse's head.

I can remember the National News on TV every night as a kid.. Showing all the footage of Dead or Dieing US Troops. Or Firefight's taking place and the Reporters trying to stay low and out of the line of fire , while trying to give reports. That was around 1967 or 68.. I was 5 or 6 at the time , but I can remember it very well.. The Conflict was on the TV every night for years.. It wasn't until I was a little older before I really knew what was really going on. And now I can only think about how many young Americans gave there lives for something that the United States didn't need to be in from the beginning. And then to only come back home to a Country and Government that did nothing but turn it's back and disrespect them. You'll never be FORGOTTEN, and Thank You for your Service to God and Country. đșđž

Wrong about the M-14. Properly used, the M-14 became the preferred rifle for experienced riflemen. It is a lot quicker and easier to teach an inexperienced riflemen to use and maintain an M-16 or an AK-47 than an M-14. For most people, the M-14 is useless in full automatic. A jungle version of the M-14 , with fiberglass stock and a 16" or 18" barrel would have been most useful, semi auto only.
FAL to go through the trees, those hiding behind them
People donât learn from mistakes like Vietnam.
Itâs like you didnât watch the video . The video says it wasnât a military mistake it was a media one . It shows the power of the media to sway opinions.
I assume to you Korea was also a mistake ? Germany also a mistake ?
Still, there're man misinformations. South Korea gave billions of money to Vietnam in terms of Investment, never meant to cover up their war crimes, most Vietnamese still remember the South Korean war crimes and still talk about it, but rarely confront it to South Koreans because people don't. Vietnamese people always say "We forgive, but never forget". Also, there are many lies about the Tet offensive, they missed out the part that the civilians helped the NVA and Vietcong in the Tet offensive, the majority weren't forced because they hated the South Vietnam government, and after Tet, the South Vietnamese army did a hunt for communist in civilians to revenge them for helped the NVA/Vietcongs, they killed thousands of civilians and the US covered those crimes called it's "Vietcong massacre civilians".
The South Koreans--and the Americans--had plenty of experience committing atrocities in the Korean War. They weren't alone, of course. Communist forces didn't take prisoners, and every southerner was their enemy. Surely one of the more ignominious wars of all time. No wonder people would prefer to forget it (except Xi, apparently).
Yeah I completely agree I just read a chapter of a book on how the Vietcong infiltrated many of the targets they had attacked from the outside during the Tet offensive months prior and gained civilian support from the inside.
It's ignorant to say it's a single occasion Vietnamese massacre fellow Vietnamese. It's just our nature :)))
@@phanvanhoa he is a Vietnamese 50-cent army troll, basically a Chinese 50-cent army bot but he works for the Vietnam Communist Party rather than the CCP
Hue Massacre, Dak Son Massacre, Mau Than Massacre, Highway 1 shelling by NVA never happened. Tian an Men massacre never happened.
Civilians helped the NVA and Vietcong? Why wasn't there a massive wave of South Vietnamese refugees to the North if what you claimed was true? Why did South Vietnamese villagers flee towards ARVN lines in 1972 and 1975. Why did millions of Vietnamese, Laos, Cambodians risk their lives to escape Communism by crossing the South China Sea? Also can you name one massacre that South Vietnam soldiers committed?
Nice video
I grew up listening to my dad talk about how they were constantly being told to stand down and had their hands tied. âWeâre doing to good, pull back!â âHold your fire, he canât hit anything.â âSupport back home is low, we need more casualties.â And donât get me started on the M16, took me years to trust an AR (dad still doesnât). Had we gone all in the war wouldnât have ended as badly or taken as long, same thing with Korea, I believe if we had pushed well beyond 38th to set up a new border much further north, of course at the end ceding a large neutral zone, many families couldâve been spared living in the north and the point wouldâve been made, zero tolerance which would changed the entirety of the Vietnam war. But alas we will never know what could have been

Dead on the most accurate comment don't forget the north also hid supplies and held trops in Laos which the USA never went into and destroyed them would of been a quick war
You guys were terribly wrong,Giap didnât plan the Tet offensive,he was against it,but other general just send hik to Hungary for his liver operation so they could do it by themselves.
He callthe Tet offensive to be a major failures and it took the NVA 2 years to rebuild its strength
Who knew this was also how the US lost Afghanistan.
@The Infographics Show , Please do a video about the Biafran war....
I remember deciding to pull out. Wouldn't necessarily call it a defeat.
Most of these 'secrets' were already publicly known.
It's just that young people who were born in around 2000 haven't read about it.
The thing that gets me is that most people not into shooting for a hobby, do not know that small arms ammunition used to be corrosive.
So even after firing a rifle once, you had to disassemble and clean it because else it would start rusting.
The M-16 certainly wasn't a 'self cleaning rifle' but based on the AR-15, which had a shorter barrel and fired only semi-auto, not fully automatic, and the AR-15 was excellent.
When the M-16 was introduced, it was a fine rifle too. *However* lobbyists in Congress, working for rival gun companies, made sure that the M-16 had to go through some 'changes' including a 1,000 rounds per minute demand, which, together with the cheaper gunpowder, literally ensured the rifle would jam as soon as it was being used.
It is telling that US politicians and top generals were willing to sacrifice their 'own men' (in my opinion they didn't see it that way, they just thought oh well, soldiers are just poor people who can't go to college or Canada to avoid the draft) using a rifle that was sabotaged by American lobbyists, politicians and generals.
too bad for the USA, if only greedy politicians, lobbyists, and generals weren't trying to extend the war for as long as they could, America could've won the war in a few month by invading the North or by bombing the North until they surrender. During Lyndon B Johnson era, he frequently stopped bombing raids for a few weeks and continue so that the Communists can repair all damaged military infrastructure caused by bombs and repeat, also abandon territory after American and South Vietnamese took over and give it back to the Communists again.
American elites and hippies were the reason America lost in Vietnam. The People's Army of Vietnam nor the Vietcong were able to defeat South Vietnam, only American elites and hippies can do that.
You should make a video about US special forces in vietnam.

The Viet-Nam War effort went down the drain the moment that Walter Cronkite said that the War was unwinable, as a result public opinion about the War got out of control and our own Country treated our Servicemembers like trash.

Funny, until nearly 1968 the average Viet Cong was using US weapons (world war two weapons) when it wasn't using Japanese weapons or French weapons (and US weapons given to the French) and the AK-47 was relatively rare when the first US troops arrived in large numbers.
Alan Cranford your correct about the NVA/ Viet Cong weapons preference, the problem is info graphics is not accurate portrait of history with it graphics.
So many comments and so little understanding. It is amazing how so very few Americans still are mis-informed/confused about the Vietnam Conflict. I also noticed that very few of those who commented were first person accounts. The video itself is a political hit piece that seems to be intent on re-writing history. When an author mixes fact with fiction it tends to bend history.

Fun fact: Britain after the end of WW2, used imperial Japanese soldiers to fight the Viet cong! & almost wiped them out until handing power over to the French!
I read a book in VN given to me by Colonel who claimed he was in Vietnam for 15 years. This was 1969 and he said he was there since 1954. In the book was a photocopy of a letter from the commander of the British troops to the commander of the Japanese troops thanking him for his support against the Viet Minh. They weren't called Viet Cong until later. I will take exception to the term, "almost wiped out". The British and Japanese suffered many casualties and did little to stop the growth of the Viet Minh. This use of Japanese troops was against the surrender agreement, since the Japanese were forbidden to have troops outside of Japan.
Graham Greene left that part out of his book.

And as for Vietnam and the Korean war, the north invaded the south trying to take it over, Trust me I know my grandfather was there along with many other veterans, not to mention soldiers on both sides of the war say the north invaded 1st.

The South Korean brutality really surprised me, I did see a video about them being fierce soldiers, but not monsters. But then again, even in the Korean War, the South and US perpetrated the majority of war crimes, such as No-Gun-Ri.
@@LordBruuh Wrong. About 20% of war crimes were perpetrated by the North and 80% were by the South and US, due to the North advancing swiftly and crushing the weak ROK in the begining of the war.
@@LordBruuh wrong, the North killed roughly 250k-300k people, while the US alone killed over 2mil civilians alone (US numbers)
@@tridinh1011 figures by the US are by 1.2 million civilians killed, on the US side, u.s. numbers also put North Vietnamese death counts about 900,000, so both sides equally f***** up.
War is a clash of monsters when humanity cannot solve a problem using common sense and reason. Be careful who you vote for, it is they who turn the monsters loose.
Yeah. According to a US general, they bombed every single city in North Korea and wiped out 20 percent of the population.
USA: We can built time clocks.
N. Vietnam: We have the time.
USA: We can send rockets into space.
N. Vietnam: We can send your troops home in aluminum caskets.
