Things I didn’t find in this video. The US undermined the Geneva Accord – promised 1956 elections to unify Vietnam because the CIA polled the Vietnamese and predicted Ho Chi Minh would win that election 80% to 20%? Catholic French Mandarin Ngo Diem was in exile in the USA waiting for the CIA to install him as president of South Vietnam. In October 1962, JFK issued NSAM 263, requiring all US advisors to be out of Vietnam by September 1965. The Monday following JFK’s assassination, LBJ rescinded NSAM 263 with NSAM 273. The war was back on. The Gulf of Tonkin incident never happened. LBJ’s Johns Hopkins speech in early 1965, explaining the need for the US military to provide South Vietnam with democracy was the Orwellian speech of the century. (Given the US had undermined the elections of 1956). Would you agree with Henry Kissinger, that it is irresponsible for the US to allow the people of other nations to use the democratic process to elect governments we don’t approve of? If the US had “won” the Vietnam war, can you imagine a South/North Vietnam similar to South/North Korea?

Good article. To this very day, the media and academe try to change the history of the Vietnam War, although most of them never had served nor set foot in Vietnam.

Serving in Vietnam gave you a unique perspective of the war. The foxhole view. It’s hard to convince some there was more to that war than sitting in a fox hole or walking in rice paddies.

take the show off. I went at 19years old,it was 1969 graduated from . Just 5 months from finish high school I got to know in January 5 to make it worse and put in training. They gave me the M-16 machine and that was I was pumping now my first month I had 23 and I felt so bad at the end of that month did I erase for my butt from the gun and never said that about killing do this thing I feel guilty I try I push to 11 months that’s at 11 months coming back from a night on the side, they blew me up with a mind I laid there for 4 1/2 hours and then the Corvette in the Statford can you help me and they took me to the hospital after my surgery by doctor Toby? Do you know where you should be there? I said I know, but I said I think God really protected me when I was down so he let me go and I went to the hospital then a week later I was down the end they put me in a plane in the ship be home. They retire at the 11 months at the age of 20 and I’ve been retired my leg my knee my hip. It’s only bone and skin, but I still go around the part. I can forget that I was 19 years old. I still cry and what I’m going through, but that’s all I can tell. Thanks for listening

I have watched this and it is very factual with little speculative comment. I had seen most of this before but git infuriated again over the media’s leftist approach toward the war. The perfect example is Cronkites report after Tet and the 180 degree reversal a few weeks later at the insistence of the CBS producers. A crying shame.

I agree 100% the media made us out to be Villains,I will never,ever forget the way we were treated by the majority of the public when we got home from Nam,I’m 75 years old,and if I wear one of my hats showing I am a combat veteran,I get oh! Thank you for your service,that’s nice,but it doesn’t ease the pain of being treated as a villain instead,of a returning home soldier,like my dad,and his dad,for the Wars they served in and were praised when they came home,just glad to see the vets after us were treated allot better than we were.
