You realize you're getting old when you read comments from people telling about their fathers and grandfathers participating in the same war that you did. Sadly, many of your fellow soldiers and brothers didn't get to be old. I miss them so much, it breaks my heart.
@@iskwewpannekoek what about the drafted? The ones that didn’t get the choice? Maybe the person was too poor and had to join the military for a way out. It isn’t as simple as what your trying to say.
@@asovietplaytpus5828 Muhammad Ali dodged the draft and was imprisoned for 5 years, why couldn't they? Also joining the military so you could gain some material benefit is killing for money, doesn't matter if you're poor, still doesn't justify going into another person's home, killing their kids, and poisoning them.
My father was Vietnamese, and he died in this war at a young age. This song really reminds me of him, may all of your fathers/grandfathers rest in peace.
My condolences. The war only brought suffering for everyone, as do all wars. Young men sent to die for reasons out of their control. Love from Malaysia
My grandpa served in Vietnam he never liked to talk about it much which is understandable but as he got older he told me stories… I guess to him it felt good to finally talk about his experiences rather than bottle them up for so long one story still sticks with me He was with his platoon… it was raining like hell and they were doing Standard patrol duty, all of the sudden the crack of a rifle and a bullet pierced through the helmet of the guy in front of him, He died instantly, someone obviously yells out “CONTACT RIGHT!” And next he knows he’s in a shallow ditch on the side of the road getting shot at from who knows where. At one point he peeked his head over for a split second and a bullet banged his helmet luckily it missed but it did leave a bullet hole there. He clutched his M-16 and fired back just spraying into the trees hoping to hit something. Soon someone else was wounded… he called out to my grandfather “TEX COME HELP ME PLEASE!” (My grandfathers nickname was Tex since in his platoon there were few texans and in his squad he was the only one) he runs over and tries his best to treat his wound but at some point the guy looks up at him and says in a weak and faint voice “Tex… I’m cold… I miss my mama” as he died in his arms. He doesn’t remember anything after that he described it as just all a blur, sure he’d seen men die before I mean hell he just saw one man get shot in the head a few minutes ago. But he told me what made this different is that he never had to hold someone as they died… he felt a lot of guilt for not being able to save that guy. He finished his tour of duty and came back home… where he was mocked and called horrible names since he was told to go to Vietnam… he’s still alive today luckily and still tells me stories from time to time
@@purpleman11 is it really far fetched? His grandfather went to a war under an imperialistic banner that brings nothing, Vietnam turns red anyways. It was a lost, and soldiers are hardly praise worthy
My grandpa was a F4 pilot. I learned all the aviation things from him. RIP grandpa, i miss you and your stories. A wise sentence from my grandpa: War is hell, its not like in the movies or games, that feeling cant be explained. When you see your fellow soldiers dead bodies and shocked troops, you understand how deep it is.
My father was Army Airborne in Vietnam from '68-'69, and I have to say, this hits hard. He never talked to me about his time there really. I can only imagine what he saw and endured. RIP, dad. I miss you.
My granddad who is still alive was in Vietnam. I’m not sure what company what unit what mos none of it. I just know he was marines and over there. The only thing I got was when I asked if he would ever go back *after me watching videos of ww2 vets go back to Normandy or Iwo jima* all he said was that he wouldn’t since it would probably do to much mentally. Loud noises unexpectedly get to him so I can only image how bad it was for him not to mention anything. But he’s a great person and the time I have with him is enjoyable. But thank you for your father’s service.
Cool thing about Vietnam war songs is they're neither patriotic or cool, rather they're grim and sad. Fortunate Son criticizes rich kids who can avoid conscription and Paint It Black is about a man's depression
My father was a Vietnam vet, he passed in February. He had me in his mid-40s and was significantly older than my peers' fathers. We both had a fascination with history and one of my favorite things was asking him about the past, as well as the war. He was always willing to talk and I learned so much from him. My heart breaks now whenever I want to ask a question only he could answer. I miss you Dad, until we meet again.
I am so sorry for your loss brother, your comment made me shed tears, be strong and be proud of you and your father :,) (just like the guy above, english is not my language, greetings from the gaucho country 🇦🇷)
Me and my dad always used to listen to this song together. He had cancer and died when i was only 5. He was such a legend, a bit of an older man but with an energy of a teenager. May he rest in peace.
My neighbor served in Vietnam, no one asks him nor brings anything about war up to him. The guy is incredibly sweet and occasionally gives us bags of vegetables that he grows. Hes a happy guy simply living his life and I can respect it.
my grandpa served as a combat engineer in Vietnam and the only story he told me was about the time he was doing his job at a airfield that was taking heavy fire and one of the Hueys got shot down with 3 men inside, they all died is what he told me and it sent chills down my spine and he has never told me anything else since then. Thank you to all who server their country's!
Many thoughts on how you were treated makes me furious I am prior NAVY , SORRY CANT STAND THE HIPPIES. I HOPE YOU FIND PEACE AND KNOW OTHER VETS FEEL FOR YOU.
my grandpa was drafted into the navy during vietnam. i don’t recall he ever saw any action or fighting. but i can assume he may have been off the coast of vietnam watching the F-4’s take off on bombing missions and such. but where i work i see plenty of vietnam vets and it always reaches my deepest interest to know what their experiences were like. everyone from that time of history has a story and i would love to hear them all.

@@user-oc4wo2ck2f i still support my government. one person’s opinion doesn’t mean shit. i love my country and i will continue to do so unless it personally involves me
My grandfather went to join the fight like so many other young boys at the time. He was a young man and could handle a rifle like nobodies business. While signing up a higher ranking man came out and said "If any of you are expecting children or have children go home" My grandfather had my father and my uncle as well as my aunt on the way. He was a lucky man being chosen to go home and serve there. Sure he missed out on some of that glory but he also missed out on all that pain. I am very thankful for whoever it was that make him and others go home. He is a strong man but no man is strong enough for that shit.
My Grandpa fought in the Vietnam War. He was a Marine and retired in the 80s as a Master Gunnery Sergeant. As far as I know, he mainly served on the helicopter Bonnie Sue as a gunner. I didn't get many stories from him, but the one I remember happened in November 1968. His birthday was on November 25th, and this mission was days before then. I believe my own research said November 21st. Either way, his friend told him to sit this mission out as it was right before his birthday, and his friend didn't want my Grandpa's mom to receive the letter of his passing on his birthday, so he sat out on that mission. In that mission his friend was shot down. No one survived. If anyone is curious, his friend was Willian Emerson. He's mentioned in the book Bonnie Sue. This was really the only story I have from him. He passed away in October 2020, unrelated from Covid. I still miss him. Frankly I wish he was still around sometimes for advice in life.
My uncle was a regular back in 1965-1967 and this is really affecting to me. Imagining the hardships of losing one friend after another looks hellish. Thankfully he still is with us today and he still says and I quote "We're nothing but cowards, the true heroes are the ones who died for us to live and tell the tale." Warms me to the heart❤.
My uncle Rudolph Randa was a captain in the army and a company commander and lost men under his command during the Vietnam war. May he rest in peace and the victims of all wars
Same. I grew up in California and all I think of are waves on beaches and a gentle breeze lightly shaking the palm trees down boulevards when I hear this song.
my uncle was a solider during Vietnam. he got home a few days before July 4th. he was such a nice man. but after getting home he was changed. still so nice but would never even speak about the hell we experienced. I miss him so much even tho I didn't know him very well myself
Maybe it wasn't trauma that was getting to him but immeasurable shame that he didn't want to speak of... then again that's assuming American soldiers have a conscious.
@@iskwewpannekoek Shame of what? Shipping out to serve ones country? Going to a far off land to do what you think is right? You don't seem to understand the mental trauma one gets from being in a war. Seeing things both you and I can never imagine in the slightest. And maybe your right about shame. Shaming himself because he could done something to help that person ahead of him. Shame they did an act the would come to regret. That's human nature. And not having a conscious who are you to say they don't have a conscious at heart they're still human. You've seem to forgotten Vietnam won now leave it in the history book and move on to tomorrow. Jesus. Sorry Not.Tied say the word and ill delete this out.
@@fortnite-kq7ok So you would say stopping the expansion of communism is not a reason? Or aiding the south Vietnamese who did not want communistic ideologies and requested our help. Following our history books id say we have some good reasons for having gone to Vietnam. Now the beginning of it was started by a mistranslated intercepted radio transmission but we had several reason to be there.
@@fortnite-kq7ok ah yes no reason at all, its totally not like the us government tried to stop communism and help south vietnam! but no, theres no reason at all according to your logic. Heres a gold star,
I was in that region of Asia in 1970. I remember the war like it happen yesterday. When the war ended some veterans suffer from agent orange and PTSD after serving in Vietnam. It took me about a year to fit back in at home.
@@domenichinimarco4765 I'm also in my final weeks of school. Next week Wednesday I will get my results. And on the 4th July I will get my Fachabitur (vocational baccalaureate).
Crazy story from my uncle who was Recon in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. He was set to have his son in a few months and his superiors denied him from going back to Vietnam with his team due to the fact of his son being born soon. A few months go by and all his buddies deploy, within a week all 7 of his friends were killed in Vietnam. Crazy too think my uncle wouldn’t have been here to this day most likely if it wasn’t for his son being born when he was. He always tells me that story ever since I was a young boy and it’s always made me wonder what if. WAR IS HELL
My grandfather was in the coast guard of the time of the Vietnam war. He didn't see action but my respect goes out to all who served. God bless the vets. 🇺🇸

My grandfather was a Navy Corpsmen. He left his line of service and transitioned to State national guard before the Americans got heavily involved in the Vietnam ground conflict. Had he not gotten out, he could’ve been deployed and KIA. I am thankful he is still here with my for I would not have been born.
This really hits hard when you read stories about peoples grandfathers in this war while listening to this song... I am lucky to be alive in this time era
I'm lucky my parents, grandparents and forefathers never had to fight in this war the way the others have. I do send my condolences to everyone who couldn't return home to the ones waiting. Forever shall we remember the fallen. Vietnamese, Americans. All suffered and all could not return to the same place they left.
Mi padre perteneció a esa profesión, yo no proseguí su camino, pero definitivamente aquellos que somos criados con tutoría militar estamos muy cómodos con temas bélicos.
My grandpa fought in Vietnam from 1964 to 1970 he was in the 196th Light Infantry brigade, he was a Marksman(Army recon) VC shot his three fingers off in 1970. He doesn’t normally speak about his time in Vietnam. But every once in a while he will mention it. By the way he was in tay ninh. After his service he got the bronze star and I can’t remember all of what he had earned. He is a specialist. God bless the Vietnam vets.
As a Vietnamese, I have a grandfather born in 1943 who fought in this war, he survived and passed away six years ago. May the soldiers of all sides rest in peace, the war has ended for 49 years, now the U.S. and Vietnam have established a cooperative relationship for mutual development. Edit: On September 10th 2023 during the visit of President Biden to Hanoi, U.S and Vietnam hailed a historic new phase of bilateral cooperation and friendship by elevating the relationship of both nations to “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership”. Let’s overcome the past and look forward to the future!
Whenever I feel ungrateful for how much I have, I come back to these types of videos which give me some perspective. Many young men my age in the past and even now live through horrendous things and it makes me feel lucky. I only have respect for the people fighting these battles and rest in peace to those who passed 🙏
my grandpa was a pilot never told really any stories beside what he flew A-37 dragonfly and C-130. He did say of when he was gunned down and made an emergency crash landing which he survived and made it back to base.
My grandfather was a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy during 'Nam onboard a submarine (not sure which one unfortunately). I miss him and his stories about the war, and I pray to god he lives a happy life in Heaven where I can soon meet him. I miss you, grandpa.
We had a mechanic in the marines that would play this on a loop when one of us didn’t come back, the song has a solemn meaning to it for me now. Plenty of my boys wished to come back home, wish I coulda brought them all home.
My grandfather/father figure was E5 Staff Sergeant US Army 6th division demolition in the Vietnam war. His soul was sent to god this year but through these songs his presence will always be remembered because he loved these songs and so do I
My grandfather was a U.S. Soldier who got drafted into the war and carried an M60. I never really talk to him about the war. I do remember one veterans day though he had all the papers out about what he did in the vietnam war. There was newspapers about it and everything. He was basically on patrol, and eventually found a village or some sort from the Vietcong. He laid down with his M60 and suppressed that entire village or group of Vietcong until backup arrived. He's also told me a few stories about how they would transform their C4's into heater so they could eat beans or heat up coffee.
My uncle was in the shit back in the late 60's, he was drafted, but stayed in 4 years. He was forced out because a trip wire had took his leg and I beleive one other person in his platoon. He's sadly no longer with us but got to live the rest of his life being lucky enough to survive, albeit with a prosthetic leg. his middle name was passed down to me and I couldnt be any prouder.
What were we doing over there? My dad is a Vietnam vet and what little he told me about the war, it was a pretty messed up experience. The way our troops were treated when they got home is absolutely shameful. To all vets, thank you for your service.
My grandpa was combat engineer during the Vietnam era but was never deployed into combat he passed away in 2019 and I like to imagine this is the kind of music he listened to
Cám ơn bạn đã chia sẽ những hình ảnh ở vn một khói lửa , đau thương . Người thân của tôi đã ngã xuống cả hai bên . Mỗi bên điều có lý tưởng riêng . Nhưng đã thua nhưng không chết . Thắng thì bại liệt ê chề . Bây giờ thì hiểu cả rồi .❤❤❤
My Dad born 1949 and was drafted in Vietnam when he was 19 years old. He told me he arrived there in 1969 . Thankfully he survived and came back home. But imagine being only 19 years old and fighting a War? That's insane! At 19 I was playing Basketball, Video Games, and working part-time. Huge difference than what my Dad was doing. He served 2 tours in Vietnam. Mark Albin Swenson(1949-present) 🇺🇸
This song gives me good memories and fun ones. Back in 5th grade I was so fascinated with Vietnam and i also listened to these songs. I even made a story about the Vietnam War about a soldier from the TF-116 named “Wayne D” a man who escaped Russia to flee to Vietnam But was forced by the United States military to join them, but was able to live off with the new life he stuck in his missions in An Lao Valley with his friend “Jackson”.
This song was ring-ing in my head when I got a trip to Cu Chi. It was an eye opening experiment how terrifying the war is . I thanking the veterans a lot to have fought to keep the land of my people.
One of my friends had their grandfather come in to talk to my AFJROTC class some time ago. He was a scouter from a small aircraft and was told one day that some other soldiers were being pinned down and surrounded. He was able to clear out some of them but took a hit to his shoulder from a bullet fired from the ground. At the time he said he was flying really low to the ground but I forgot why exactly he was doing that. He was able to radio in to get a heli and all the troops were rescued from it. That’s all that I mainly remember but he also talked about the amount of breaking rank that was involved during the whole process.
I played a farcry 5 Vietnam map and i put this on and it was pretty moving with the gunfire and the shouting it just made me think how lucky i wasn't born during that time
My grandfather served as a missile manufacturer during the Vietnam war and avoided the draft because of his job in manufacturing weapons. He went on to be the Deputy Chief of his local Fire Department. After the vietnam war passed, he retired and now lives in a 2 million dollar house up in north jersey.
I found this video around 5 or 6 months ago, and I have it added to my "Addictive" playlist. "Addictive" playlist consist of videos that I rewatch daily because I like them a lot, usually they are random videos that pop into my feed because I already watch them so I watch them again and again. I remember playing this song while i played games with my brother, particularly while playing hosteat multiplayer with him on Civilization VI. I played as Russia and he played as the Scotchland. After that I kept watching this video to the point where I already feel nostalgic about it after only 6 months of watching it the first time, so after so long watching it daily I decided to leave a comment. To anyone reading this, have a great day!
On the 4th of July this year, I met my semi-girlfriend's dad. He was a door gunner. For some reason, he bonded with me and spilled the beans about everything that happened to him. No alcohol or weed; totally sober. The girl left early and I spent a few more hours with him. When I left, I texted her and she was blown away because he never talks about it.
My Grandpa was in the 1st Recon Battalion, Marines in Nam. I carry his story and legacy everyday, so I shall never forget. May he and every other vet involved rest in true peace.
@@ratatouille_real_wow_hamster Just like ur parents eh? I mean they obviously hurt you pretty bad, to comment this for no reason. You should go outside today, get some vitamin D. Take care lol
1968 Cambodia The worst of times ..for those who waited at home and for those who suffered the worst loss . I still remember my neighbor screaming when they came to her door.. I was 15 and he was 18.
My grandpa did a tour of vietnam and never told me anything, I even asked him if he served in the military but he denied it till the day he died. However my dad knew he served and he only told one chilling story to him. He was in a convoy and had started taking heavy fire from all around. In an attempt to survive he started tossing grenades at the enemy while he was driving just trying to hit something. There’s probably more stories but he never wanted to talk about it, never wanted to have to relive the horror in his mind.
I met a Vietnam veteran during a Celebrity Cruise. His name was Paul. Wonderful guy. I first encountered him when my family and I were on our way to the buffet. I thank him for his service, he thanked me, he cracked a few jokes, and we went on our merry way. Second time, I forgot, but I thanked him for his service, not knowing it was the same guy, he thanked me, we went our different ways. The third time however, He told me, "You do realize you have thanked me for my service three times already, right?" I got embarrassed, He said he appreciated it, I told him a fact about soft serve Ice cream (because we were having some after an on shore excursion on the U.S. Virgin Islands). He then said, and this still makes me smile to this day, "Well thank you for your general knowledge." After that, every time we saw each other, we would stop, talk and share a few laughs. It was during the second last day of the cruise, when I finally asked him how he served in the Vietnam War. He worked IBM jobs, radar and that stuff. He sounded kind of sullen about it, which caught me off guard. But still, he didn't go to Vietnam, but he did his part.
my grandpa was a army solider during 65 to 71 the Vietnam war he's friends 3 of them were kia rip grandpa and grandma i miss them i wish they were here
When my dad was in college, he studied in a library one day when an older man - this was in the 90s, sometime after the war - was also there. I forget how they struck up conversation, and got to the topic of the older man's war experience, but the veteran told my dad about a fragging. There was some incompetent or cruel officer, someone the brass didn't really care for. A lieutenant, I think. Anyway, this veteran, way back in the day, was standing guard for the lieutenant - he was either taking a leak, or he was in an office or something, but the officer was inside, the veteran was outside. Two other soldiers showed up, and told him to go take a smoke break. The veteran didn't argue with them. He only asked them one question: "Where does it come from?" They replied: "It comes from above." He took that smoke break, of course.
My grandpa dodged the draft to this war and I'm glad he did because I don't think he would have been the same amazing person I knew. He died last year and I miss him every day
Canadian here, my uncle was a signaller in the vietnam war and had a BUNCH of crazy experiences... only died when he was home to an icy bridge when he came back to quebec.
I am a 23 year old man from South Sudan, I have spent most of my life in a continuous war, it was a normal day 2 weeks ago as I was fighting. Then, the Sudanese fighters played this absolute masterpiece, we then began to all put down our guns and dance to this lyrical masterpiece. Thank you, sir. For Peace this song changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This song represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this song I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite song.This video is an exquisite masterpiece, out of every single video I have ever even heard of on the entire platform, this by far has enlightened me to do fly, lose 90 pounds and even become the president of the United States, and I'm going to tell you why this is such a masterpiece as if hearing the creators, no, god of this universes luscious voice. I would like to express my thanks to you. My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks. Yes I 100% agree no lie I am 10/10 with you in this statement no question. You are completely absolutely correct and have made no mistake in your sentence whatsoever and I applaud you for that as you have made a thoughtful statement that many agree with and those that disagree are in the minority because your statement has absolutely no faults and thus is completely without a question correct and deserves nothing but agreement. and by the way, super saiyan blue theme is a very powerful, moving song that showcased the capabilities of human emotion. It used groundbreaking technology to create stunning sounds that would mesmerize the listeners. This song is suitable for all ages; whether you're 5 years old, or 50, you should listen to this song. It is inspiring and it showcases the spectrum of human nature and how humans communicate with each other. This song revolutionized the music industry and set the bar high for other songs. In the future historians will look back on this song and regard it as the pinnacle of human achievement. It was a roller-coaster from start to finish, the nail-biting song will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Listeners will find themselves absorbed by the heartwarming tale of a relentless, determined african tribes who didn't let societies standards shape his/her/it's life. I was shocked by how intense and gripping this song was. The plot is rich, unpredictable and touching. This isn't your typical african war song, this song is a war with one's emotions. Tales of africa is a stirring masterpiece that only comes once in a millennium. This thrilling instruments makes it a jaw-dropping performance that properly utilizes the medium. I rate this song 10 african tribes/10 african tribes, and will never listen to it again as every time I get saddened by the the fact that there will never be a song to match this masterpiece.
My dad's grandfather lead a platoon, he saved alot of children and women my dad had told me, he's still alive, though rest in peace to all those who didn't get to be old with their friends.
My father was in the marines and fixed jets for some of the recruits there. He served for 5 years before quitting to come back home to my mother, and younger sibling.
My father, a French officer, made the in Vietnam war. He never talked to us about it either ... Although, as a young man, it changed his live for the worse....
That saddest part of the Vietnam war is the tragic return of the U.S. military where they had seen some of the worst sights imaginable and people had the gall to spit on them. My uncle was one of far too many who endured that cruel return. For far too many, any gratitude we have in the present day has come far too late.
My grandfather served in Vietnam from around '68 to '60 or '70. He just hauled rocks and other cargo far from the front lines. Not exactly the best story, but a story nonetheless.

It's 9 of may 2023 3:22 morning. There are distance artillery shots and it's shells explosions few hundred meters away from our positions And i am listening to this song from cold and dirty blindage dreaming about peaceful, warm California and reading all this stories from peoples fathers and grandfathers And this vibe of the moment is one that i will never forget
My grandpa was in the ROK marine corps. He fought with the 2nd marine brigade (blue dragons) in vietnam. These comments make me want to ask him more about his experiences in vietnam as the only things hes shown me were pictures of him during his time there.
You realize you're getting old when you read comments from people telling about their fathers and grandfathers participating in the same war that you did. Sadly, many of your fellow soldiers and brothers didn't get to be old. I miss them so much, it breaks my heart.
Good bless you sir
Thank you Alan. Be well !!
Maybe they shouldn't have joined an imperialist military and died overseas in a war that wasn't theirs to fight.
@@iskwewpannekoek what about the drafted? The ones that didn’t get the choice? Maybe the person was too poor and had to join the military for a way out.
It isn’t as simple as what your trying to say.
@@asovietplaytpus5828 Muhammad Ali dodged the draft and was imprisoned for 5 years, why couldn't they? Also joining the military so you could gain some material benefit is killing for money, doesn't matter if you're poor, still doesn't justify going into another person's home, killing their kids, and poisoning them.
My father was Vietnamese, and he died in this war at a young age. This song really reminds me of him, may all of your fathers/grandfathers rest in peace.
My condolences. The war only brought suffering for everyone, as do all wars. Young men sent to die for reasons out of their control. Love from Malaysia

@@dragonfell5078 from north or south vietnem?
@@CYCLS70 it was only pointless because it ended too early
My grandpa served in Vietnam he never liked to talk about it much which is understandable but as he got older he told me stories… I guess to him it felt good to finally talk about his experiences rather than bottle them up for so long one story still sticks with me
He was with his platoon… it was raining like hell and they were doing Standard patrol duty, all of the sudden the crack of a rifle and a bullet pierced through the helmet of the guy in front of him, He died instantly, someone obviously yells out “CONTACT RIGHT!” And next he knows he’s in a shallow ditch on the side of the road getting shot at from who knows where. At one point he peeked his head over for a split second and a bullet banged his helmet luckily it missed but it did leave a bullet hole there. He clutched his M-16 and fired back just spraying into the trees hoping to hit something. Soon someone else was wounded… he called out to my grandfather “TEX COME HELP ME PLEASE!” (My grandfathers nickname was Tex since in his platoon there were few texans and in his squad he was the only one) he runs over and tries his best to treat his wound but at some point the guy looks up at him and says in a weak and faint voice “Tex… I’m cold… I miss my mama” as he died in his arms. He doesn’t remember anything after that he described it as just all a blur, sure he’d seen men die before I mean hell he just saw one man get shot in the head a few minutes ago. But he told me what made this different is that he never had to hold someone as they died… he felt a lot of guilt for not being able to save that guy. He finished his tour of duty and came back home… where he was mocked and called horrible names since he was told to go to Vietnam… he’s still alive today luckily and still tells me stories from time to time
Tell him we salute him for his service for not only the US but free world. Kind regards from

My granddad who is still alive was in Vietnam. I’m not sure what company what unit what mos none of it. I just know he was marines and over there. The only thing I got was when I asked if he would ever go back *after me watching videos of ww2 vets go back to Normandy or Iwo jima* all he said was that he wouldn’t since it would probably do to much mentally. Loud noises unexpectedly get to him so I can only image how bad it was for him not to mention anything. But he’s a great person and the time I have with him is enjoyable.

There is some thing about this song, a melancholy which suits perfectly for situations like this. Good work.
literally man, I didnt know how to say this but u did this perfectly. Greetings from Poland to our American friends
The song is an anthem of the "anywhere but here" feeling shared by most every American who went to the Vietnam war
the entire song is about home sickness
Cool thing about Vietnam war songs is they're neither patriotic or cool, rather they're grim and sad. Fortunate Son criticizes rich kids who can avoid conscription and Paint It Black is about a man's depression

My grandfather went to join the fight like so many other young boys at the time. He was a young man and could handle a rifle like nobodies business. While signing up a higher ranking man came out and said "If any of you are expecting children or have children go home" My grandfather had my father and my uncle as well as my aunt on the way. He was a lucky man being chosen to go home and serve there. Sure he missed out on some of that glory but he also missed out on all that pain. I am very thankful for whoever it was that make him and others go home. He is a strong man but no man is strong enough for that shit.
He did the right thing
What glory? War crimes in a place he had no business being? I thank him for doing the right thing and staying
My Grandpa fought in the Vietnam War. He was a Marine and retired in the 80s as a Master Gunnery Sergeant. As far as I know, he mainly served on the helicopter Bonnie Sue as a gunner.
I didn't get many stories from him, but the one I remember happened in November 1968. His birthday was on November 25th, and this mission was days before then. I believe my own research said November 21st. Either way, his friend told him to sit this mission out as it was right before his birthday, and his friend didn't want my Grandpa's mom to receive the letter of his passing on his birthday, so he sat out on that mission.
In that mission his friend was shot down. No one survived. If anyone is curious, his friend was Willian Emerson. He's mentioned in the book Bonnie Sue. This was really the only story I have from him.
He passed away in October 2020, unrelated from Covid. I still miss him. Frankly I wish he was still around sometimes for advice in life.
Damn thats A True Friend.
Emerson, at least knew he had saved his friend that day before he died
RIP both Emerson and your Granddad
My uncle was a regular back in 1965-1967 and this is really affecting to me. Imagining the hardships of losing one friend after another looks hellish. Thankfully he still is with us today and he still says and I quote "We're nothing but cowards, the true heroes are the ones who died for us to live and tell the tale." Warms me to the heart❤.
My uncle Rudolph Randa was a captain in the army and a company commander and lost men under his command during the Vietnam war. May he rest in peace and the victims of all wars

Same. I grew up in California and all I think of are waves on beaches and a gentle breeze lightly shaking the palm trees down boulevards when I hear this song.
my uncle was a solider during Vietnam. he got home a few days before July 4th. he was such a nice man. but after getting home he was changed. still so nice but would never even speak about the hell we experienced. I miss him so much even tho I didn't know him very well myself
Maybe it wasn't trauma that was getting to him but immeasurable shame that he didn't want to speak of... then again that's assuming American soldiers have a conscious.
@@iskwewpannekoek Shame of what? Shipping out to serve ones country? Going to a far off land to do what you think is right? You don't seem to understand the mental trauma one gets from being in a war. Seeing things both you and I can never imagine in the slightest. And maybe your right about shame. Shaming himself because he could done something to help that person ahead of him. Shame they did an act the would come to regret. That's human nature. And not having a conscious who are you to say they don't have a conscious at heart they're still human. You've seem to forgotten Vietnam won now leave it in the history book and move on to tomorrow.

Crazy story from my uncle who was Recon in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. He was set to have his son in a few months and his superiors denied him from going back to Vietnam with his team due to the fact of his son being born soon. A few months go by and all his buddies deploy, within a week all 7 of his friends were killed in Vietnam. Crazy too think my uncle wouldn’t have been here to this day most likely if it wasn’t for his son being born when he was. He always tells me that story ever since I was a young boy and it’s always made me wonder what if. WAR IS HELL

He doesn’t normally speak about his time in Vietnam. But every once in a while he will mention it. By the way he was in tay ninh.

As a Vietnamese, I have a grandfather born in 1943 who fought in this war, he survived and passed away six years ago. May the soldiers of all sides rest in peace, the war has ended for 49 years, now the U.S. and Vietnam have established a cooperative relationship for mutual development.
Edit: On September 10th 2023 during the visit of President Biden to Hanoi, U.S and Vietnam hailed a historic new phase of bilateral cooperation and friendship by elevating the relationship of both nations to “Comprehensive Strategic Partnership”. Let’s overcome the past and look forward to the future!
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Vietnam one of the most "pro-America" country as of now?
I hope Vietnam and the west can remain cooperative and never have this happen again. War sucks, doesn’t matter the reason behind it.
Whenever I feel ungrateful for how much I have, I come back to these types of videos which give me some perspective. Many young men my age in the past and even now live through horrendous things and it makes me feel lucky. I only have respect for the people fighting these battles and rest in peace to those who passed 🙏
Men like these are the reason why you can be grateful, god bless these soldiers.
my grandpa was a pilot never told really any stories beside what he flew A-37 dragonfly and C-130. He did say of when he was gunned down and made an emergency crash landing which he survived and made it back to base.
My grandfather was a Chief Petty Officer in the Navy during 'Nam onboard a submarine (not sure which one unfortunately). I miss him and his stories about the war, and I pray to god he lives a happy life in Heaven where I can soon meet him. I miss you, grandpa.

My grandfather was a U.S. Soldier who got drafted into the war and carried an M60. I never really talk to him about the war. I do remember one veterans day though he had all the papers out about what he did in the vietnam war. There was newspapers about it and everything. He was basically on patrol, and eventually found a village or some sort from the Vietcong. He laid down with his M60 and suppressed that entire village or group of Vietcong until backup arrived. He's also told me a few stories about how they would transform their C4's into heater so they could eat beans or heat up coffee.
My uncle was in the shit back in the late 60's, he was drafted, but stayed in 4 years. He was forced out because a trip wire had took his leg and I beleive one other person in his platoon. He's sadly no longer with us but got to live the rest of his life being lucky enough to survive, albeit with a prosthetic leg. his middle name was passed down to me and I couldnt be any prouder.
sorry for the loss
Your uncle was hero
im so lucky i found this song
That clip at 0:34 is one of the most cinematic real life combat footage I've seen in my entire life
Same, bro handled the unmounted m60 like a champ.
What were we doing over there? My dad is a Vietnam vet and what little he told me about the war, it was a pretty messed up experience. The way our troops were treated when they got home is absolutely shameful. To all vets, thank you for your service.
My grandpa was combat engineer during the Vietnam era but was never deployed into combat he passed away in 2019 and I like to imagine this is the kind of music he listened to
God bless him
@@patrik4586 thank you bro god bless you too
Rich people start wars, poor people go to war
Cám ơn bạn đã chia sẽ những hình ảnh ở vn một khói lửa , đau thương . Người thân của tôi đã ngã xuống cả hai bên . Mỗi bên điều có lý tưởng riêng . Nhưng đã thua nhưng không chết . Thắng thì bại liệt ê chề . Bây giờ thì hiểu cả rồi .❤❤❤
my grandfather was a great man, he fought in nam and when he got back home he joined the police force. RIP pops, wont ever forget you.
My Dad born 1949 and was drafted in Vietnam when he was 19 years old. He told me he arrived there in 1969 . Thankfully he survived and came back home.
But imagine being only 19 years old and fighting a War? That's insane! At 19 I was playing Basketball, Video Games, and working part-time. Huge difference than what my Dad was doing.
He served 2 tours in Vietnam.

It's very interesting to hear from real people and not through the internet, it's very valuable
we were all just kids, 18 & 19 years old for most of us, Some I swear were 16 &17
Fighting is what men did starting at 13 for millenias. Only now we have reschedule these insane levels of comfort.

This song gives me good memories and fun ones. Back in 5th grade I was so fascinated with Vietnam and i also listened to these songs. I even made a story about the Vietnam War about a soldier from the TF-116 named “Wayne D” a man who escaped Russia to flee to Vietnam But was forced by the United States military to join them, but was able to live off with the new life he stuck in his missions in An Lao Valley with his friend “Jackson”.
My uncle was a SSGT in the airforce back in Vietnam, he loved this song, and we played this at his passing in 2014
Respect to your uncle. Thankyou for your uncle's service
This song was ring-ing in my head when I got a trip to Cu Chi. It was an eye opening experiment how terrifying the war is . I thanking the veterans a lot to have fought to keep the land of my people.
One of my friends had their grandfather come in to talk to my AFJROTC class some time ago. He was a scouter from a small aircraft and was told one day that some other soldiers were being pinned down and surrounded. He was able to clear out some of them but took a hit to his shoulder from a bullet fired from the ground. At the time he said he was flying really low to the ground but I forgot why exactly he was doing that. He was able to radio in to get a heli and all the troops were rescued from it. That’s all that I mainly remember but he also talked about the amount of breaking rank that was involved during the whole process.
That’s really cool BUT… Bro I’m in Navy JROTC. So you seem like a cool guy but we are rivals.
I played a farcry 5 Vietnam map and i put this on and it was pretty moving with the gunfire and the shouting it just made me think how lucky i wasn't born during that time
My grandfather served as a missile manufacturer during the Vietnam war and avoided the draft because of his job in manufacturing weapons. He went on to be the Deputy Chief of his local Fire Department. After the vietnam war passed, he retired and now lives in a 2 million dollar house up in north jersey.
I found this video around 5 or 6 months ago, and I have it added to my "Addictive" playlist. "Addictive" playlist consist of videos that I rewatch daily because I like them a lot, usually they are random videos that pop into my feed because I already watch them so I watch them again and again. I remember playing this song while i played games with my brother, particularly while playing hosteat multiplayer with him on Civilization VI. I played as Russia and he played as the Scotchland. After that I kept watching this video to the point where I already feel nostalgic about it after only 6 months of watching it the first time, so after so long watching it daily I decided to leave a comment. To anyone reading this, have a great day!
On the 4th of July this year, I met my semi-girlfriend's dad. He was a door gunner. For some reason, he bonded with me and spilled the beans about everything that happened to him. No alcohol or weed; totally sober.
The girl left early and I spent a few more hours with him. When I left, I texted her and she was blown away because he never talks about it.
RIP all the Vietnamese, American, Cambodian, Laotion, Thai, Korean, Australian and New Zealand lives lost in such a futile conflict.
Crazy that most wars are like that futile 😢😢
My Grandpa was in the 1st Recon Battalion, Marines in Nam. I carry his story and legacy everyday, so I shall never forget. May he and every other vet involved rest in true peace.
Dont care
@@ratatouille_real_wow_hamster Just like ur parents eh? I mean they obviously hurt you pretty bad, to comment this for no reason. You should go outside today, get some vitamin D. Take care lol
Your Gramps was a bad motherfucker I guarantee.

Its crazy that the US literally spend 1 trillion in the Vietnam war, And still lose. Respect to whole Soldiers even the Vietnamese.

The worst of times ..for those who waited at home and for those who suffered the worst loss . I still remember my neighbor screaming when they came to her door.. I was 15 and he was 18.
I served in the 9th infantry division in 1968.
Thank you for your service!

Mistake but i hope you regret it
My grandpa did a tour of vietnam and never told me anything, I even asked him if he served in the military but he denied it till the day he died. However my dad knew he served and he only told one chilling story to him. He was in a convoy and had started taking heavy fire from all around. In an attempt to survive he started tossing grenades at the enemy while he was driving just trying to hit something. There’s probably more stories but he never wanted to talk about it, never wanted to have to relive the horror in his mind.
Caused he killed babies and raped women over there.
I met a Vietnam veteran during a Celebrity Cruise. His name was Paul. Wonderful guy. I first encountered him when my family and I were on our way to the buffet. I thank him for his service, he thanked me, he cracked a few jokes, and we went on our merry way. Second time, I forgot, but I thanked him for his service, not knowing it was the same guy, he thanked me, we went our different ways. The third time however, He told me, "You do realize you have thanked me for my service three times already, right?" I got embarrassed, He said he appreciated it, I told him a fact about soft serve Ice cream (because we were having some after an on shore excursion on the U.S. Virgin Islands). He then said, and this still makes me smile to this day, "Well thank you for your general knowledge." After that, every time we saw each other, we would stop, talk and share a few laughs.
It was during the second last day of the cruise, when I finally asked him how he served in the Vietnam War. He worked IBM jobs, radar and that stuff. He sounded kind of sullen about it, which caught me off guard. But still, he didn't go to Vietnam, but he did his part.
Wot a boring story
Rest in Peace to my Grandpa and his 3 brothers who fought and died for their country in Vietnam🙏🏻🇺🇸😕
my grandpa was a army solider during 65 to 71 the Vietnam war he's friends 3 of them were kia rip grandpa and grandma i miss them i wish they were here
When my dad was in college, he studied in a library one day when an older man - this was in the 90s, sometime after the war - was also there. I forget how they struck up conversation, and got to the topic of the older man's war experience, but the veteran told my dad about a fragging.
There was some incompetent or cruel officer, someone the brass didn't really care for. A lieutenant, I think. Anyway, this veteran, way back in the day, was standing guard for the lieutenant - he was either taking a leak, or he was in an office or something, but the officer was inside, the veteran was outside. Two other soldiers showed up, and told him to go take a smoke break.
The veteran didn't argue with them. He only asked them one question: "Where does it come from?"
They replied: "It comes from above."
He took that smoke break, of course.
My grandpa dodged the draft to this war and I'm glad he did because I don't think he would have been the same amazing person I knew. He died last year and I miss him every day
Canadian here, my uncle was a signaller in the vietnam war and had a BUNCH of crazy experiences... only died when he was home to an icy bridge when he came back to quebec.
to all of the soldiers who served in vietnam god bless you, rest in piece. War will never solve anything only hatred and killing.
I am a 23 year old man from South Sudan, I have spent most of my life in a continuous war, it was a normal day 2 weeks ago as I was fighting. Then, the Sudanese fighters played this absolute masterpiece, we then began to all put down our guns and dance to this lyrical masterpiece. Thank you, sir. For Peace this song changed my life. My entire view of everything that exists in this world, in fact, even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way again. This song represents emotions that most humans could never understand. But I can. Thanks to this song I was awakened to many things previously considered unimaginable. Thank you for this exquisite song.This video is an exquisite masterpiece, out of every single video I have ever even heard of on the entire platform, this by far has enlightened me to do fly, lose 90 pounds and even become the president of the United States, and I'm going to tell you why this is such a masterpiece as if hearing the creators, no, god of this universes luscious voice. I would like to express my thanks to you. My gratitude for your indisputably magnificent assistance is almost infinite. Your efforts have not gone unnoticed. I really like your contribution that you have in our society, you really make a difference and help others out, the world could always use more people like you. Gosh, what a polite and humble fellow. It is such a kind honour for someone as low as me to be in contact with someone of a level such as yours. I thank you once again my good friend. A world without you, would be a world I would not be able to live in, and I believe I share that opinion with most people. I can rest easy tonight knowing you helped. I appreciate you and everything you stand for and on behalf of everyone on planet earth, thanks. Yes I 100% agree no lie I am 10/10 with you in this statement no question. You are completely absolutely correct and have made no mistake in your sentence whatsoever and I applaud you for that as you have made a thoughtful statement that many agree with and those that disagree are in the minority because your statement has absolutely no faults and thus is completely without a question correct and deserves nothing but agreement. and by the way, super saiyan blue theme is a very powerful, moving song that showcased the capabilities of human emotion. It used groundbreaking technology to create stunning sounds that would mesmerize the listeners. This song is suitable for all ages; whether you're 5 years old, or 50, you should listen to this song. It is inspiring and it showcases the spectrum of human nature and how humans communicate with each other. This song revolutionized the music industry and set the bar high for other songs. In the future historians will look back on this song and regard it as the pinnacle of human achievement. It was a roller-coaster from start to finish, the nail-biting song will leave you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. Listeners will find themselves absorbed by the heartwarming tale of a relentless, determined african tribes who didn't let societies standards shape his/her/it's life. I was shocked by how intense and gripping this song was. The plot is rich, unpredictable and touching. This isn't your typical african war song, this song is a war with one's emotions. Tales of africa is a stirring masterpiece that only comes once in a millennium. This thrilling instruments makes it a jaw-dropping performance that properly utilizes the medium. I rate this song 10 african tribes/10 african tribes, and will never listen to it again as every time I get saddened by the the fact that there will never be a song to match this masterpiece.

My dad's grandfather lead a platoon, he saved alot of children and women my dad had told me, he's still alive, though rest in peace to all those who didn't get to be old with their friends.
My father was in the marines and fixed jets for some of the recruits there. He served for 5 years before quitting to come back home to my mother, and younger sibling.
R.I.P to all the soldiers who died in the war, whether American or Vietnamese
My father, a French officer, made the in Vietnam war. He never talked to us about it either ... Although, as a young man, it changed his live for the worse....
I am a veteran of Vietnam war movies and cant help but crying when I remember all the wasted talent of my fellow actors
That saddest part of the Vietnam war is the tragic return of the U.S. military where they had seen some of the worst sights imaginable and people had the gall to spit on them. My uncle was one of far too many who endured that cruel return. For far too many, any gratitude we have in the present day has come far too late.
I'm Italian American, my grandfather went to Vietnam and killed 4 Vietnamese people. he hasn't been able to sleep well since
Ma salve caro italo-americano
You can’t forget the horrors or war..
My grandfather served in Vietnam from around '68 to '60 or '70. He just hauled rocks and other cargo far from the front lines. Not exactly the best story, but a story nonetheless.
Vietnam war, the only war with a soundtrack.
my grandad fought in vietnam as part of a special commando unit (cant recall from memory) and died on the way to the hospital in a huey
Rip....
My truly respect to the veterans thank you

And i am listening to this song from cold and dirty blindage dreaming about peaceful, warm California and reading all this stories from peoples fathers and grandfathers
And this vibe of the moment is one that i will never forget
My great grandpa served in Vietnam he was a US-Army ranger never heard any stories but he is a good man
My great-grandfather fought and my father fought too only in World War II and in Iraq and I'm sure they are good people too.
My grandpa was in the ROK marine corps. He fought with the 2nd marine brigade (blue dragons) in vietnam. These comments make me want to ask him more about his experiences in vietnam as the only things hes shown me were pictures of him during his time there.

They were baby killers, they don't deserve to rest in peace.
