You know shit just got real when even the radioman gives a look of terror at the order his CO just gave him. Planes stacked up at every 1000 feet, from 7000 to 35,000. That's 28 pairs of aircraft conducting strikes all in one single go. Even if just one of each pair was packing napalm, the whole battlefield will become just one plot of hellfire on Earth.
Air superiority. America had this figured out while the Germans thought tanks could win a war.
I don't romanticize war, but I can merely imagine what the average joe had to endure just to survive these battles. Brave Heroes🇺🇸🇺🇸
Warhead on forehead
Not a radioman. A forward observer. The eyes for artillery and mortars. He decides where stuff lands. Nowadays, forward observers who do planes as well are JTAC-s. Trained people especially for this reason. One guy directs much more power than the whole company of soldiers. Movies portray them as radio men because Hollywood people usually don't understand how militaries operate. When he is screaming degrees and coordinates, he has to read the map and use kit to measure stuff to get those. Dumb bombs don't hit the enemy through magic.
True I’ve seen similar situations to this irl and trust me it’s hell on earth when this happens
Excerpt from Joe Galloway’s book, “A Reporter’s Journal From Hell”:
“The first had just released two cans of napalm. The second was about to do the same. Lt. Charlie Hastings, the Air Force forward observer, was screaming into his mike: Pull up! Pull up! The second plane pulled up. That left the two cans of napalm loblollying end over end towards us. Gregg Dillon buried his face in my shoulder. Later he would tell me he had heard if napalm was coming in you should protect your eyes. The two cans went right over our heads and impacted no more than 20 yards from us, the jellied gasoline spreading out and flaming up going away from us. That 20 yards saved our lives but through the blazing fire I could see two men, two Americans, dancing in that fire, I jumped to my feet. So did medic Tommy Burlile. Burlile was shot in the head by a sniper before he could reach the scene. I charged on in and someone was yelling, “Get this man’s feet!” I reached down and grabbed the ankles of a horribly burned soldier. They crumbled and the skin and flesh, now cooked, rubbed off. I could feel his bare ankle bones in the palms of my hands. We carried him to the aid station. Later I would learn that his name was Jimmy D. Nakayama of Rigby, Idaho. His wife, Trudie, had given birth to their first child, a daughter named Nikki, on November 7. Jimmy died in an Army hospital two days later, on November 17. For a lot of years I looked for Jimmy’s wife and daughter. Last month, after the movie We Were Soliers was released I received a letter from Jimmy’s widow. Last week a letter came from his daughter Nikki, now 36 years old and the mother of two young sons. No single day has passed since that long-ago November day that I have not thought about Jimmy Nakayama, the young woman who loved him, and the daughter who would never know a father’s love.”
SPC Jimmy Nakayama was 21 years old from Rigby, Idaho
Thank You for taking the time to write that...
War truly is hell for the youngest adult generation that has to fight them, perpetrated and started by the older men who never will.
Thank you for sharing that part in the book. I will try and find a copy
My father in law, a 2nd generation Japanese american, dodged the draft for vietnam war. I sometimes wonder had he not done so, my wife would not have been born. Later he was picked up by a 3 letter agency at the airport upon returning to america. His agent handling his case used to be a student from back in the days when he taught the local police department Judo. The agent deleted his file and sent him on his way.
Bonus my father in law was in Hiroshima outskirts during the Atomic bomb detonation. He was only just a baby they say. He is a very lucky man to dodge these incidents. Also he did some architectural drawings for Disney World.
Currently after heavy bouts of alcoholism and onsetting dementia we returned him to Japan and we visit him every month(we moved to japan this year) He has met his 3 year old grandson and has just enough energy to give his 1 month old grandaughter a kiss on the cheek. He doesnt remember me much though. What a life to live
@@funkthat I'm sure when people are going through their lives, at the time, it must feel like such a random series of lucky or unlucky events...only in the end to be reflected on by the absolutely fascinating book that it became.
Quite the life your father in law has lived!
Plenty of good stories & nuggets of wisdom to be had, no doubt :)
@@chrisburke624 definitely, stories like these help me step back and look at the bigger picture. Easy to get spoiled by daily routine life.
Arguably one of the best scenes in this movie. The true horror of the first look into modern war.
It's certainly the most intense scene.
it really is. the other one for me is when that one squad gets lost and is surrounded and it becomes nightfall. The Sgt. quietly calls for illumination to see if VC are approaching and when the lighting is provided they are literally on top of them. then it's guns blazing followed by close quarter hand to hand combat. Crazy.
Agree. This is the scene I revisit the most often.
The whole movie is good and is as realistic as you’re going to get of a depiction of the actual events in the war.
Long gone are the days of lining up 2 opposing armies on a battlefield and letting the strongest win.... modern warfare sucks
Fact: my father-in-law is one of the F4 pilots who bombed the enemy IRL in this scene. He’s now 81. He’s a hero, but not very well these days.
With the greatest respect to your father-in-law, dropping bombs from an aircraft is not 'heroic'.
@@bugattieb110ss and your opinion does not matter? So yeah beat it
@robertjensen1048 Men went home because of those guys in the air. That's pretty damn heroic in my book. Thank him for his service from me
And my dad is trump and he was the president
I thank him for his service
On my last trip to Washington DC I saw the Vietnam memorial and upon walking up and down it, I don’t know why, but the name of Jimmy Nakayama jumped out to me. I won’t ever forget that.
Damn man.
They say you die twice, when your body dies, and when your name is forgotten, Jimmy Nakayama is yet to die a second time
Imagine having to live through that carnage. Bless the vets

@@stefaneric9379
What in heaven’s name are you talking about?
@@stefaneric9379 The VC were chinese and russian sponsored rebels, whereas the South Vietnamese were the legitimate government fighting for survival. Troops from the Communist states and 'Democracies' were all fighting in Vietnam. The difference is, we (the UN) were fighting to a line, just like Korea.
The VC were fighting to exterminate. They won, too. I'd advise you look into Vietnamese history, and see how the communists treated their fellow Vietnamese.
The moment Moore paced around from 0:27 and stopped to assess the situation he and his men were in before calling in Hastings was arguably very raw.
I love how they stand up and walk around and don't get shot
@@dlc85007 yeah such BS
i won’t imagine being in that battle during the vietnam war seeing friends and comrades dying by you and it will leave you frightened for rest of your life. RIP to the men who lost their lives during the Vietnam War 1955-1975
Especially those who were involved in the battle of La Darang valley

@@andrewmontgomery5621 It's ia Drang not La
This is one of the few movie scenes in my opinion that truly shows the horrors of war
Watch the start of the new all quiet on the western front.
@@balung It wasn't as good as the 1979 version in my opinion. It showed the horrors of war but it never showed the horror of a soldier realizing he no longer feels like he belongs in civilian life.
Saving private Ryan showed the horror of Omaha beach, as did the Longest Day. The danger close here was no less horrific. War is hell. If only the politicians on both sides who vote, sign, declare for hostilities are mandated to kit up with the military, at the tip of the bayonet, we'd have fewer hostilities for bullshyte reasons.
In the last days , it's important to remember the truth, and to know that we need salvation , in order to be free from tyranny, and non stop war mongering . The scenes in this classic film, remind me of what my dads' generation lived through , while fighting ideals. Ideals cannot be used to kill all humans . Ideally love, makes eternal life most barrable , and very enticing. Without hate , and fear, and pain, and sorrow, only leaves joy, happiness, and one heck of a fun existence , if you ask me. That's why , I have faith, that no matter the cost, and pain, and suffering , that has gone on, far too long, We, the faithful followers of Christ , will gladly fight one last time, for our souls, and our childrens ' souls , to be saved. I believe in the death , and resurrection. That he payed the price for my sins , so that I may be able to be free , and forgiven , as I leave this place , to be with him , in eternal joy, and abundance . Amen .

The price of close air support has always been blue-on-blue incidents, but the overall losses are much less.
Yup, war is hell.
@@ronbelanger4113war ain’t hell, war is worse. Terrible people go to hell, many innocents go to war.

The had nightmares and breaks down whenever he told the story about Pfc Jimmy Nakayama. RIP Mr Galloway and Mr Nakayama.
"We have planes stacked up at every 1,000 feet. 7 to 35,000" i dont think many people will appreciate this line because thats alot of fucking ordinance stacked up. Napoleon said god favors the side with the best artillery, now the saying should be god favors the side with the best air power.
and the US still lost
@@kevinswift8654we didn't lose we chose not to win. There is a difference.
@@nancyjanzen5676 the result is the same. They chose not to lose

Yeah, that's a lie. It's still he who has the best artillery. The moment that a semi-competent IADS shows up, air power is basically rendered impudent.
@@nancyjanzen5676 The US won militarily, but war is about achieving political directives, and the constant flow of casualties became too much for certain people back home.
BROKEN ARROW
the way he delivers that line
Haven’t seen this in like 10 years, now I recognize all of the aircraft: A-6 Intruder, F-100 Super Saber, F-4 Phantom, and A-1H Skyraider.
They also had an A-4 Skyhawk
Why were they still using propeller driven aircraft?
@mamster233 Skyraiders were actually pretty capable, carrying massive payloads and being able to drop them more accurately because of their slower speed.
Apprently, the USAF has forgotten the price of fast jet CAS and is now getting rid of the A-10.
My grandfather flew the skyraider. The pictures he had and the stories he would tell.
I have a feeling the support it provided at the time was roughly the same as what a pair of apache helicopters would do in Iraq when I was deployed there.
Where was the f4 phantom
God bless that radio operator, to have a bad fire incident and have to keep calling air in knowing damn well youre a lifeline
And Lt Colonel Moore, keeping his f.o.'s head in the game.... He was a straight up leader.
@@nancypigroastineedsfieldslaves under intense combat too, some people are just built different
@@MoshJunkie426 yeah, Hal was truly a humanistic leader. He didn't write off those men dying, any of them, in doing so, they stayed in the fight. Chesty is the only other light bird I know of who was intertwined with the Frontline men so well, and, fathom that, arguably the most revered leader. I personally hold Lt Gen Moore at the same level as a military leader.
Imagine Charlie’s PTSD if such a character would have survived that madness. A tortured soul that saved many at the cost of his own sanity. Chokes me up every time I walk by that black wall in DC.
You dont have to imagine. You can ask the person, his name is Joe Galloway and the soldier that was hit was Jimmy Nakayama. That scene was based on a real event.
@@mezlabor wrong person he was talking about the radio operator
I love the way he gets up to assess the situation himself and makes the determination of what to do based on that, instead of listening to conflicting reports of the situation from his radio ops.
I do hope Charlie found peace after what happened that day. The lives of so many people were essentially in his hands and he probably never thought he’d ever be in such an intense battle such as that.
I don’t know why but I love the backslap he gives to his radioman when he calls for broken arrow.
“You got this son”
That's an Air Force forward air controller not the Commanders Radioman, but yeah.
I like that too, its alittle gesture from good leadership reassuring the fact you’re being a reliable asset n doin the job as trained. I can’t imagine being there as a rifleman let alone a radioman, what movies dont capture is the deafing sounds of war. Anyone whos shot a gun knows they can be loud, now imagine your platoon plus 4,000 enemies firing simultaneously with explosions and low fly bys. Shits insane, that radioman is the literal backbone aside from the leadership.
Su broken arrow sonó como ven mami ayúdame 😂
Well Charlie sure fuxked that one up
F-100 Super Sabre, A-6 Intruder, and A-1 Skyraider were very interesting choices for air support. They’re very obscure aircraft that definitely don’t get enough love in Vietnam era movies, especially when more mainstream planes like the F-4 Phantom and F-105 Thunderchief exist
Those a-1s could loiter for a long time and drop a lot of ordnance.
Watched this movie several times..one of the best war films.. the horrors of the real thing
The F-4 and the F-105 were used mostly in North Vietnam and the A-6 and A-1 were better suited for close air support.
That 'A' was for a reason not 'F' 🙄
Fire has been a major weapon of war for Millenia, but man Napalm is something else.
It is however, undeniably a very effective weapon at flushing out or even extinguishing (get it?) large quantities of enemy troops. It's a case of being pragmatic despite moral issues.
It's actually 2 simple ingredients.
Smells like... Victory.
What is the different between these both? Napalm is just fire which burn more intense? No?
@@HuyGaming96 no napalm is a substance that sticks to what it burns. Pure gasoline doesnt.
The chills I got when I hear "My god, there's no hiding it now."
Napalm truly is a horrifying weapon
2:15 "We train young men to drop fire on people, but their commanders wont allow them to write #&*$ on their airplanes because...Its OBSCENE!!!" - Colonel Kurtz (Apocalypse Now)
This was damn intense though I noticed they didn’t have cgi of the B-52s. Also some scenes were from “Flight of the Intruder”.
My Dad was in Vietnam back 1964 to 1965 Army. If he was send him in that battlefield. I Cant even imagine how he managed to survived in that situation. He was actually Laos, cambodia and on a Ship ocean looking the fire support on night.
One of my old friends, his father was Marine infantry that was on Hamburger hill and said it was very very similar to this scene.
The Battle of Hamburger Hill was fought by 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division (Airmobile) and 3rd Regiment, 1st Infantry Division ARVN. The Marines weren't there
Hamburger Hill was entirely *Army* 82nd lol there were no Marines there at all

@@John33gfed those are definitely top 3. Followed closely by Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now and Hamburger Hill. Worst one ever is Casualties of War (awful movie)
@@StephenLuke That's amazing.
Great scene in a great movie.
Too true.
If anyone wants a proper literary account of calling in strikes like this; Firestrike 7/9 by Paul 'Bommer' Grahame is an excellent book about a British Army JTAC in the Afghan war who goes into real detail behind calling in danger close airstrikes in support of infantry in close quarters fighting like this
The one call sign you fear more than the enemy's bugles, whistles, and booby traps.
I used to think about how cool this scene was when this movie came out. Now after having been in the Marine Corps infantryman in Iraq and older and wiser, all I can see is how traumatizing this engagement must have been.
This was one of my favorite movies as a kid / teen. It's clearly well done. But it's interesting to me now that all the sympathy goes to the US men for a friendly fire incident rather than to all the Vietnamese soldiers who suffered the same fate - on purpose - for trying to defend their country.
I had family whose fates were unknown from the south Vietnamese military, ain’t no “defending their country”. They forced my members who didn’t want to have part in the war to do things in the name of “war effort”. All who detested were killed
@@thegent2258 Sorry to hear that. I was not referring to the South Vietnamese military, which was propped up by US interests. I was referring to the Vietnamese fighting for liberation from the French / Americans.
@@kevinswift8654 and that’s the issue, they weren’t. They did unspeakable things as well, even against their own
@@thegent2258 That is horrible. I still think the US had no business there, it's just my opinion...
@@kevinswift8654 Did you watch the whole movie? There are scenes that show respect to the other viewpoint. There is a very good deleted scene that shows the harshness of this conflict. War is hell, and this movie does a good job of showing the human cost of it. You may not like how much of it showcases the American side of things, well it was a movie made in America...
I was in an base level class about fire direction center. It was hard doing all the math and map reading even with all the technology to call the right targets. Even with that one costly mistake Hastings really did do a hell of a job to keep the unit alive with calling in the air strikes
Broken arrow and danger close are things you never want to hear over a radio.
“They charged and attacked, they went to hell and back.”
They did a hell of a lot more than just go to hell and back. They went through the deepest pits of it, and then had to go back through it.
Thank you, Veterans. Both alive and fallen, for your service. None of you shall be truly forgotten.
including Tiger Force?
There is no way in hell he would of been able to call those planes off
1:04 i like this part because the last thing you want to hear is 2 words "Broken Arrow" the way they looked at the radio is like "Oh shit"
This is one of the best Vietnam War movies ever made.
I never realized how much Vietnam looked like southern California.
The Ia Drang valley isn't too far off from this depiction. It's in the vietnamese highlands where there aren't jungles like in the lower regions due to cooler temperatures.
@@Tony.795He was being sarcastic. Maybe someday you'll be mature and adult enough to understand that.

You don't know fear until you're neck deep in shit and the RTO has to get God on the phone and ask for a miracle.
Second comment:
One of the truly unique things about WWS is the respect and empathy the film shows to the enemy. They're not portrayed barbarians or intrinsically evil. They're portrayed as men with a cause who are willing to sacrifice a great deal indeed to make that cause a reality.
If I remember correctly during the filming of this movie Hal Moore and the commander of the NVA at the time of this battle actually met and talked.

Yes it’s Air Superiority that kept them from being overrun and slaughtered. Same thing in the Battle of Mogadishu in ‘93. Without the MH-6’s and Black Hawk door gunners providing Air support the Rangers and Delta would been slaughtered. Air support also saved the day at the Battle of Roberts Ridge in Afghanistan!
It was incessant artillery fire, accurate that kept the ring around them. Read Hal Moore’s after action report
thanks for stating the obvious...
@@MauriceLeviejrit comes off as if he has some kind of contempt for the US Military. It's fairly obvious that air support played a big role in those situations.
I love how even the journalist picked up a rifle and was fighting.
I watched this movie.
I also saw the documentary about this same battle.
When i saw how badly Jim Nakayama was burned...I was honestly shocked but also got emotional😭
I mean... Dying like that... it has to be extremely painful.
I am glad that they have banned the use of Napalm 'coz its nasty weapon of war.
As for Jim...

🌹R.I.P. Gone, but not forgotten 🌹
Hate to burst your bubble but napalm is still allowed to be used.
The United States has not banned the use of napalm, but the use of aerial incendiary bombs against civilian populations has been banned since 1980. The United States signed the 1980 United Nations Convention on Certain
@@mikefischer8576 You know... with these wars currently going on in the world... I don't quitte get it.
I mean...
I'm fairly certain that pretty much every country in the world has done something "unacceptable" (to put it mildly) atleast once. Yet, they point their fingers towards Russia when they do it.
Also... if i remember correctly,
it was partially because of Russia that certain countries were liberated during World War 2.
@PaulScholtes1980 going to be frank here I see nothing wrong with napalm bombs. Then again I think most rules of engagement and rules of war are pointless because war is war.
This is how I feel during Base Defense mission
"You forget about that one son" have heard this too many times in the service
This movie and black hawk down inspired me to join the infantry
Best fog of war segments in a movement
I like how everyone is telling Mel Gibson we're getting overrun, but he still has to walk out and smell the getting overrun part.
That's what a good leader does. He assesses the situation himself instead of only listening to what his radiomen tell him. He wants a good all round knowledge of the battlefield, and then decides from there.
@@Mr.Nobody01211 Well in the book it was the FAC.
I know this is an older threat but I have to write. This is not so much about loyalty to (and serving) our country. However, this WAS about love and loyalty between brothers-in-arms. These brave young men were fighting for each other and trying to keep each other alive. Country and the American flag were secondary. That was true in Viet Nam, Korea, WW2, Iraq and Afghanistan. Men fought for ONE ANOTHER and sacrificed for ONE ANOTHER. John 15:13. From the Beaches of Normandy to the Chosin Reservoir to Khe Sanh to the Hindu Kush, it is the love and loyalty between men of war that ties them all together. I served almost 8 years active duty in the USAF starting in 1971 but I feel unworthy to stand in the presence of these men who have sacrificed more than I can imagine. Salute to LTG Gen Moore, CSM Blumley, Joe Galloway and all the Troopers & Huey Pilots at LZ X-Ray. (I was blessed to find an original hard copy of "We Were Soldier's" on the internet about 3 years ago. It is an invaluable piece of American History.)
never forget what these men did. Mel and company have made this my favorite war movie of all time. truly tragic masterpiece
My good friend was a Navy pilot F4 Captain -he can barely walk with bad knees from all the G-force he took. He tells me stories of him dropping explosives into tunnels and fire rolling out from the opposite end making fly overs and lighting everything up. Outstanding human being very polite and so well educated.
Hell divers 2 in a nutshell
7,000-35,000 feet with about 1,000ft separation, carrying anything from napalm, bombs or just bullets. 28 pairs of planes some loaded for bear. Ton of ordnance. Just thinking about how that place would be after that defensive attack makes me shiver
The guilt in his eyes at 3:56 knowing the airstrike was his call and the death of his comrades was down to him!
Cool to see scenes longer than 5 seconds even if they're just looking around or talking
Any chance you can load the deleted scene where Lt. Col. Moore meets with Sec. McNamara and Gen. Westmoreland? It's very good, they just didn't have a spot for it in the final cut. I was reminded of the line in "Apocalypse Now",
"Seems they didn't dig what he had to say..."
I can't believe they made a Helldivers 2 movie of what it's like fighting the automatons
"Me and Charlie eyeball to eyeball...now that's fucking combat, dude. The man in the Black Pajamas" - Walter Sobchak - The Big Lebowski
In the Battle of Ia Drang Valley in 1965, during the Vietnam War, a tragic incident occurred when a miscommunication led to an airstrike by U.S. aircraft that accidentally hit American troops. A Forward Air Controller mistakenly directed the airstrike onto the position of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment, leading to casualties among U.S. soldiers. This friendly fire incident resulted in a significant loss of life among the American forces involved in the battle.
Yet he saved many more
They actually know how that 9 year old girl feels name Kim Phuc in 1972 napalm attack
Today that colonel is a mile behind the front
Thank you

My dad was a south vietnamese soldier, he told me he still have nightmares from the atrocity of the war. He was shot in 68 and 75.
What ARVN unit did your dad serve in?
Those poor soldiers. respect
Vietnamese warriors were brave, they won that war despite their lack of modern weapons.
this is so good with Ave Maria playing in the bacground
Utterly fantastic movie
Unrealistic. The real battle had the North Vietnamese outnumbered on ground and in the air but they came out the winners. It was an embarrassment for the US military
Love the scenes they used from Flight of the Intruder.
Man they really chew the scenery with this delivery
2:41 to 2:43 ... those NLF guerrillas being burned by Napalm ... 😢 reminds me of the incendiary grenade scene in Windtalkers when the Japanese soldier rolls in agony and screaming whilst burning :(
LTC/ later General Moore is a true leader, call down a strike on your own position.... Nothing but respect
Those aircraft are kickass. Wow
This movie need a 6-8 series episodes
Guy on the phone has real work pressure 🤷, start drinking after that.
One of the hardest jobs in the Vietnam War was being a forward air controller, trying to bring in air when the enemy was ontop of you, they have no visual and you have to lead them in, luckily they had a spotter plane all the time to help with that but with broken arrow their was so many air assets, it was hard to keep track and keep them on target, one thing this movie missed was the spotter planes and B52s
The friendly fire scene is why there’s JFOs and JTACs now.
“You forget about that, you’re doing good son.”
Forget.
Probably the most horrying scene in the movie. No wonder most vets have severe PTSD.
Great movie
The A1 SkyRaider was one hell of a plane
Great scene!
I always heard broken arrow was a term used to indicate an accident with a nuclear weapon.
It is. But in the movie Broken Arrow it is misrepresented.
What I found interesting and liked. Is the enemy is getting attacked from the air with large caliber guns on the jets and airplane and watch them, they are just turn into a red mist
I know it’s sick but I couldn’t help thinking of that Disco Inferno song. 🔥
This sums up my game play in hell let loose!
Best and true horror of war scene in modern warfare.
"Broken arrow" is code for "Hey air force, we're throwing a party and you're invited!"
this particular scene was provided by Navy support
@@Evenflow-us1py The Navy didn't fly F100s....
"Charlie you forget about that one".
They have planes stacked-up every 1,000 feet between 7,000 and 38,000 feet. At least 28 aircraft, probably 28 flights of aircraft. That's a hell of a lot of ordinance.
This was brutal 🇺🇸🪖💥🛫🔥⚔️🔫🩸🇻🇳
I guess this guy just had a force field around him. It never occurred to the otherwise thoroughly professional NVA to shoot him.
I can only imagine the pure fear and horror when the soldiers see the cannisters falling towards them.
“You forget about that one 💀”
