    If you was a Marine, like me, then your helmet cover was an essential piece of gear, too.

      Could you tell me a little about that please? My father was also a Marine who served in Vietnam. Thank you for your service!

      @@LOREOFHISTORYRUclips Sure! After Guadalcanal, every steel pot helmet worn by Marines had a cloth camouflage cover, true through Vietnam and beyond on into the plastic helmet era. The Army didn't, as a rule, use them, though in WWII they did cut down on the glare from their helmets with netting.

    No knife/bayonet? Pretty sure they were issued during Vietnam.

      Good catch! I had a section about the k-bar knife but forgot to add it when I did the editing. I will include it in my next video about all the various weapons that were used during Vietnam. Thanks for watching!

    The Marines are not called soldiers, except maybe by the woke generation.
    They are called Marines.
    The Army has soldiers.

      I wasn’t aware of that, thank you for the clarification! I’ll correct that on the next video. My father was a Marine who served in Vietnam and would not be happy😂

      @@LOREOFHISTORYRUclips You're welcome! On the news, every day I grimace when the Marine are called soldiers! I was a Drill Instructor for the Marines, and it was stressed that no Marine is a soldier, and soldier is a Marine.

      @@LOREOFHISTORYRUclips I was a DI on MCRD Parris Island, SC, 1st Bn B Company from 1976-1977.
      If you don't mind, where was he a DI, either PI, or San Diego, Ca, or did he go to Quantico, Va, to train officers?
      Here's something that might interest you ...
      He rates the Drill Instructor ribbon, which came about probably after he retired, but if he did, he still rates it.
      If he has passed on, you can purchase it online, anyway.
