Much respect for all of these guys. So important to have an understanding of what they went through.
These guys were badasses who came home to a thankless country and deserve respect! I enjoyed the commercials, this was back in my day.
Thank you to the Vietnam Veterans!
No, I think the real tough guys are the women and teenagers in pajamas who fought and defeated the toughest army in the world. Glory to the Vietnamese people. And no, just an apology to the young men the US government sent to their death for despicable combat! Because Vietnam is still communist, the people live well there, and are very welcoming, even towards American veterans.
I wasn't born then😂😂😂
No, these guys were invaders who massacred a population of men, women and children who wanted their independence and wanted for the most part to live differently than under the American capitalist model. And Vietnam is absolutely not an ungrateful country but a beautiful country with kind and very welcoming people. And thank God, they kicked your ass!

Pops drew weapon first on 4 Vietcong w AK 47s. He speaks his lil vietnamese words DEFECTOR DEFECTOR NO WAR. They saw his Afro and Afro beard being on front line DMZ 4 months straight Pops smelled bad too. They let POPS go. Or he let them go just moved from that location Pops hid out avoiding US TROOPS AND NVA AND VIETCONG FOR 6 MONTHS. When his time was up Pops Recon back to some American soldiers. They say computer says your MIA for 6 months Pops say I'm right here they killed my Recon team CHECK THE SHIP IN SHIP OUT DATES. Danang says dates match Were sending you back to the states let them figure it out. MY FATHER NEVER WENT BACK NOT ONE MEDAL FOR 1 YEAR AND A HALF OF RECON N VIETNAM BCUZ HE WENT AWOL That's why I'm sharing
My step dad made it home also. He actually got hepatitis from drug use there and ended up dying from it years later. That war was very brutal for everyone involved. He was a good man and treated my mom really good
Be proud he sure makes me feel great. What a story he has.

Imagine not ever seeing the enemy. Just walking/crawling around dense jungle full of all sorts of deadly stuff. Their nerves must have been fried. Horrible place to fight.
Now, imagine adding "seeing the enemy" to that list. And also the underground stuff.
16:20 Mr. Jim Buchner died 2 just short of two months after this film. I wonder if his family saw this. Wouldn't it be incredible to be able to pass this on?
Sad😢
My grandfather, Maj. William Carroll Elrod Jr, assigned to Mac-V Team 22. KIA in the Kontum Province on 14 April 1971. I never even got to meet him. May he rest in peace.
Amen Brother 🙏🏽… He was A Brave Soldier That Risked His Life For The Country And A Hero May He Rest In Peace And To All Hero’s That Fought That War That Are Not With Us In This Day
welcome to the jungle son
So sorry about your hero grandfather. It was a terrible war for many men. May he rest in peace and may you in your life honor his service. From a veteran 1970-1971 Macv.
I respect the boots on the ground. They did the rough stuff. I was drafted in 1971 (# 1 in the draft lottery), and served in the Army. About 4 months after basic training and AIT I also went to Vietnam. I only drove a wrecker and picked up disabled trucks/jeeps and 1/4 ton trucks. Thank you for this documentary. I was stationed down south in Cam Ranh Bay.
Thank you for your service 👍🏾
You were fortunate you couldn't have been more safe you were about as South as South could get in that country. Appreciate all your effort
The North Vietnamese dug underground bases and set up reinforced bunkers with supplies decades in advance.We patrolled into traps and ambush sites as they fired from spider holes and machine gun kill zones.I joined USMC at 18 in 1971,didn’t go to Vietnam.Much love for those who fought.🙏🇺🇸
My Dad was part of the group of volunteers from Germany that went to Ft. Lewis, Washington. Took a cruise with the IVth Infantry on the "Pope" to Vietnam in September 1966. My Godfather went over with the 25th Infantry in 1965. RESPECT for all!
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻 god bless our troops! ❤️
🙏R.I.P. James Buchner, K.I.A. January 23, 1968🙏
Buchner
He underestimated HE ADKITS IT THINKING ITS PROBABLY ONLY 5 ENDS UP BEING 5K NVA TROOPS VIETNAM
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻 god bless our troops! Rip to our troops in heaven.
Yea when I heard he bought it I was bummed out if I ever make the visit to the wall I'll look him up RIP
Was killed the day I got out of the military 🪖. RIP Brother
These boys went to Hell and back, I respect Vietnam Vets so much.
I can't believe our politicians made men do this
They still do
And they wouldn't send their kids to do the same!
now politicians protect child sacrifices by law
Money money
I can't believe Americans voted for politicos that used family influence to get out of service. Later to become Flag Wavin Patriots.
Was there in 67&68. Respect for all that were their both living and deceased.
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻 thank you for your service ❤️
@@HistoryEverywhere. Welcome home.
Respect from Manchester, UK.
Thank you for your service sir
RIP to all those lost..my brothers
Those guys were all badass, good men. I worked with several men in my life who served in Vietnam and they were good men. Of course they never talked about their experiences in detail to me because I was too young when all that shit was going on. But I always had and still have the utmost respect for them. And a belated welcome home you guys.
My husband's father his name is Cornelius O'keefe he was a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force and he flew the F4 in Vietnam
My 3rd cousin on my moms side did 3 tours! Flying a helicopter! He was shot down 3 times! Came home and Years later had a heart attack in his car in his driveway and died as the car rolled into his garage door! ❤ amazing he made it home! 😊
Great footage! My uncle would arrive in Vietnam in December of 67. He was in the 25th Infantry Division 4th/9th Alpha Co. 1st platoon. His unit's nickname was the Manchu's.
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻 god bless your uncle ❤️
God bless all branches of our Armed Forces and for all the Vietnam War Veterans watching this Thank You for your service and Welcome Home.
Yes, I would really rather have a Buick from the 1960's than 2024.
The advertisements were so much better back then.
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻
Thats what I was thinking, everything was much slower relaxed pace. I actually wanted to buy a Buick when I watched that
😂😂I know right?? Got me thinking i’d really rather have a Buick.
“We were winning when I left.”
Incredible footage the quality and length of this is something thats really missing from youtube deffo the best quality seen
When I was a kid I remember seeing Vietnam coverage on the news. It looks so long ago.
It’s kind of sad to see them having a moment of solitude reading mail from their loved ones, only for it to be interrupted by air strikes.
Thank you for your service. God bless ❤
crazy now to think that most of them forced to go to unjust war by the government
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻
If i ever make it to the wall im gonna look Buchner up out of respect...RIP
I read Jim Buchkners name on the wall . R.I.P
Couldn’t imagine having to find my friend’s body mutilated by shrapnel in a jungle. No wonder almost a third of the vets came back with ptsd
One guy said his buddy stepped on a mine near him, he seen his friends torso flying at him, must of been a living nightmare.
@@JamesBigelow-Beaulne awful, gotta think about the constant fear that the enemy could literally be infront of you, behind you, above you or below you. And it’s home turf. A bit like fighting Ewoks in starwars.
All I’m really taking away from this is how compelling that Buick commercial was.
No, I really wouldn't rather have a Buick.. like at all.
Never forget what president and what party lied to start this disgrace.
American leaders always lie to get into war that has nothing to do with America.😂
Republicans?
Young men and women died for nothing not a dam thing
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻
They died attempting to halt the spread of Socialism and for their friends.
Didn't work...today you still enjoy Social Security and Medicare, plus police, fire, and EMT.
I'm 65 and Ford ended this fiasco two yeas before I could be drafted. You sir, are no FDR. Vietnam proved nothing but made a of folks rich.
@@zoltancsikos5604 They died for American hegemony. That's what they died for. Nothing else.
the artillery edit at 9:04 is pretty hot
The music at the end is poorly suited for this type of footage...
you got that right
Great footage
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻
Trained to kill.
Bad experiences losing buddies.traumatised then forgotten.dissregarded.
Shame on government an people that showed no respect to these honourable servicemen and women
Oh the poor guy at 27:40 is literally shitting his pants he's so freaked out, he's trying so hard to keep his cool
Col. Hendrix "Grizzly" passed in 2014. You'd do well to read up on his accomplishments.
This flick is one of the best. Reality is scary
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻
The original video of this titled Hill 943 has been here on RUclips for quite some time.
Thanks. The stupid music at the end of the video totally ruins it for me. I'll go watch that instead.
my grandpa was gonna be in the draft 15th from my state but then we left nam' so he didn't have to go to the jungle good for him
its cool that they were able to find fun in certain moments despite all they were going through
Thanks, I played The game in 68/69 E recon,radar. At 82 I’m still seeing a shrink to help make it day to day, life is Golden and a bitch.
Love it. Great documentary
@Therodfarva Did your uncle make it back home alive n well?
Totally joke war, too many young guys died for nothing, US needs to stay out of other countries business.
Would never have happened for us if not for the CIA and the French
The vehicle commercial’s are awesome. The GMC is where I learned to drive. 3 speed on the column
Incredible footage.
Damn this war would be a trip to be in.
Heros each an everyone that tour served or fought.
Including doctors nurses donut dollys and dogs .
👏🏻🙏🏼🙏🏾🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖
Remember, everyone deployed. God bless you all. 🇺🇸 All the way.
Is this the John Laurence who wrote The Cat From Hue? Great book. He blew the whistle on the schmooze job being done on the American people by MACV, General Westmorland.
One of the most useless war of all time. What a waste.
What a waste of lives and money. America had no business to be in Vietnam but America politicians wanted to flex America's military might but what they didn't know was that the Viet Conga were prepared and ready.😅
welcome to Vietnam...
Where Were You Hiding Walz And Ventura...
@Binko Was it Paul Dooley!
I'm no one to have an opinion of this some call it what they will god rest the soldiers that never came home
When it came to US Vietnam reporters John Laurence was the Man! I highly recommend his book .I watched him on the evening news most nights waiting my turn. I was in ROTC and knew when I graduated where i was going. On 11 March 68 I went to Benning for the Infantry Officers' School and then Holabird for the Intelligence School. I reported for duty after my schools to the Intelligence Regional HQ in Philly and was told not to unpack as I would be in Nam in three months. The Army decided to leave me in Philly, wearing a coat and tie, working in downtown Philly and commuting on the Pen Central-strange the way things happen, or don't happen and the paths we take in life. I had a son after I was discharged, went to law school, a career lawyering, and retire. Many didn't have any chances and many who were in combat units were never physically or emotionally the same. God save us from politicians. Any tapes you can find with Laurence reporting are worth watching, and his book is a masterpiece.
Yeah I would really rather have a Buick
Ummm Yeah most of these guys didn’t have a choice bruh, the poor people got drafted to war while rich collage mfs were probably driving that Buick you saw.
Wait $615 a month is 5,000 today??? He was balling wtf
You get paid more overseas and even more if it's a danger zone, soldiers would be paid a lot more than that in 2024.
Money is no good when ur dead though my friend
$5,700 per month and all other expenses paid too! Military is the way to go.
@@Rosco-P.Coldchaineither way you still die? Something you can’t avoid or prevent no matter what you do
@@Rosco-P.Coldchain money for the family.. lots of these soldiers have wives and kids, my boy!
They have ads in these 😭
wth is with the music towards the end?
I see something wrong. You don't
Wear the combat badge in the jungle. In a years time, my company got washed uniforms.
We got old uniforms without any
kind of rank or other symbols.
All these films that are shown
seem to be made for propaganda
It is funny that none are made of firefights on the mountains of Dak To.
I noticed the same thing. Was wondering why he was wearing a CIB. Tall RTO 68-69. Watched this just before going to bed. Big Mistake!
im thankful that the press could report on a war more freely those days -maybe some politicians running for office nowadays should view this to respect the hell that people went through fighting over hamburger hill
@stevewebber7356 The thing is though Steve is that so much of the press didn't report the atrocities and terror carried out by the VC and NVA enough. They focused mainly on what MACV was doing wrong.
Brings too many memories for me.
As a Marine Corps Veteran serving in Vietnam, I did a 13 month tour as did all of my fellow Marines, not 12 month tours. Additionally, you never call a Marine a soldier.
Yeah, marines don’t deserve to be called a real fighting man.
RIP Jim Gay KIA July 1969
This is awesome for doing it. We are in a new time period for our Vietnam History folks! To our almost Elders! This is incredible, I hope you guys are able to really bring it and rock the boat! BIG TIME. The Boat Of American People First and Healing, Respect, Power, and LOVE!
Our Baby Boomers have been passing the torch. Please show them love. This generation, this next group, their children. They (We) have the Koren War to. That Crew is right there between them. The Vietnam War is right now like NEVER BEFORE coming alive again! WOW. A new era for this WAR People-WOW. YES, to all of us who get to just enjoy this stuff for whatever sakes right.....

New Time for You and his War Service!!!!!!
eric
2 minutes in im like damn i hope these guys make it home
Great, but Ive seen this before?
Is it difficult to see hope? At times it truly is
These guys must of had some serious hardware to deter the enemy with all the noise they are making
The truth about the Vietnam War that was never fully told. United States had No intention of winning the Vietnam War from the very beginning. Fear it might become like the Korean War with mass continuing Communist Chinese troops from China pouring against American military force in Vietnam. And the threat of a thermal nuclear War with the Soviet Union. The Vietnam War started during the Civil Rights movement and racial tension between whites and blacks all across America. Several members in the US government were segregationist and they had their eyes dumping their Blacks problem on Vietnam with the chaos that was happening in Vietnam at that time between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam. At that time, the South Vietnamese had 250,000 troops and North Vietnamese had 60,000 troops and the DMZ line had already been establish at the 17th parallel. Many Vietnamese peoples from both North and South did Not support going to War and killing each other over the idea of Communist. Even though several North and South Vietnamese leaders believe Vietnam should Not be divided and try to distrupt one another. But they couldn't rally enough support among the Vietnamese peoples in Vietnam to support going to War. Until Nov. 2, 1963 When US President JF Kennedy and LB Johnson order his CIA to stage a military coup assasination on a catholic South Vietnamese President, Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. This action give America the power to do what ever they want to Vietnam and to the Vietnamese peoples. And the US appointed an ex-Vietminh soldiers for Ho Chi Minh, Nguyễn Văn Thiệu as their puppet South Vietnamese President. The South Vietnamese President who cause the lives of 500,000 South Vietnamese troops killed or capture by the North Vietnamese army and their communist allies The Pathet Lao army, and the Communist Khmer Rouge army of Cambodia when he order them to be station and patrol in Kampuchea. And who told Nguyễn Văn Thiệu to do so? The United States, fear more Americans troops will be killed in Kampuchea. 20 days after the military coup assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. US President JF Kennedy was assasinated in Dallas, TX on Nov 22, 1963 and LB Johnson was sworn in as the 36th US President. On Aug 10, 1964, US President LB Johnson declare US military action to Vietnam over an alleged attack on a US destroyer, Maddox that was on patrol past the 17th parallel near Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam. While supporting the South Vietnam. 500,000 US ground troops was sent to fight in Vietnam. 40% of those US troops that were sent to fight in Vietnam were adult blacks male along with high school drop out white male, non-college white male, trouble teen white male, and white convict male were all sent to fight in Vietnam. And when these US troops arrive in Vietnam and they did their "Search and Destroyed mission." The Communist North Vietnam gain mass support for their cause and their army grew from 60,000 troops to over 1,000,000 troops. In 1975, the Democrats control congress cuts off funds to all US promise military aids to South Vietnam causing the Fall of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. Thus began a mass flow of Vietnamese refugee fleeing out of Vietnam. 10 of thousands of Vietnamese refugee died at sea from hunger, thirst, illness, Thai pirates, and Chinese warships. Today over 100's of thousands young South Vietnamese childrens are born of birth defect from the US toxic biological chemical, Agent Orange which the US military spray all over rivers and forest of South Vietnam. 3,000,000 innocent Vietnamese civilians of women, childrens, and old peoples had to die in their country during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War is the worse United States War Crime in history. From Truman, JF Kennedy and LB Johnson were all were WWI and WWII veteran who sent the next young American men to become killers. Why I post this is because for years I'm tired Americans use Vietnam War as a Propaganda War story. Telling peoples that they there to help South Vietnam fight against communist North Vietnam. When America is the root cause for the Vietnam War and the downfall of South Vietnam.
Thank you for your research and input but you should mention that it was ultimately Stalin's fault because he started the Cold War the instant WWII ended, Stalin was the primary instigator.
@@mike-h5h8pover half of his information is lies, fake narratives, misconceptions, and his opinions. I don’t know why he wasted some much time on mostly TOTAL BS.
If you filled with so much hate and lies you might have found that communism and mass murder happen in the majority of countrymen that surrounded Vietnam. One of the wise heroic soldiers said it best. We are trying to stop the spread of communism. Better to stop it here than at home. Unfortunately it is now here trying to destroy America. Using or brainwashed youth. You were right about it being political. Just like today. The MARXIST democrats are trying to bring down capitalism and install a socialist society. COMMUNISM TO FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER, if they would seceed
Another Communist North Vietnamese propaganda piece about the war. Disregard this communist viewpoint. A Vietnam Veteran and proud of all we did there. 67-69 I Corp.
Love my Vets! Ty
I was in the US Air Force in Vietnam; we always had planes in the air and on the ground with their engines turning over ready to blast off and go because we knew that you guys on the ground needed air support right now and not later.
I was lucky, I did not get sent to county, I would have been a medic in the Air Force, the class just before mine all were medics, I got lucky and went to med lab school
Vietnam soldiers were heroes in my neighborhood . Jim Buckner was killed soon after hill 943 . R.I.P
650 dollars a month? My brother in law is a corporal in the Navy and he get 4,000 a month and it’s still a small amount
Incredible stuff. I was in the field for two weeks and then they found out I could type. I hesitated and my Sergeant told me I was a dumb a**. He asked me if I wanted to sleep in the mud. So I became a clerk. We handled the mail, awards, and the company offices.
Interesting to work with post war docs & move on to volcanos
@ 21:23 the man speaking in the commercial is the actor that plays the announcer/color commentator for the Charlestown chiefs in the movie slapshot
I need to close my eyes & sleep and understand if a vision is meaningless
When was the last time a news organization put together a program like this? Not fucking CNN, that’s for sure.
My Friend Seargent John Azro Kelemen U.S. Marine Reserves. Served well Lost is an auto accident going to college. R.I.P. Buddy
Was it worth it?
What hill was the famous "hamburger hill"? Does anyone here know?
Hill 937
@@gregbellisle9128 Thanks!!
Every politition should have to endure a war in order to become a politition ..😲
The uniforms were nice.
The problem was US media only covered news on battlefield from U.S GI soldiers only that forgetting about the fight of SVA in Dakto where U.S GI soldiers were one of whole US and SVA operation fought against NVA.
Serious problem international news agencies and US media sent reporters who hunting news from far behind the front because of that Americans in USA thought VN war was fought by U.S GIs only.
Some international reporters or US reporters died by helicopters crashed by accidents not died during at the same line of the front with US GIs or SVA units.
The most US or international war reporters often went with US army than SVA units because those SUV units did not have policy to protect them during the fire but they were busy to protect US advisors that was the most important duty on battlefield and SVA often moved very fast and less having fire support from fire base or aviation that almost were bloody battles that was why US or international reporters were spent a little time with them because of not safety and those SVA commanders were not responsible for reporters as their mission were too dangerous already.
Were news accurately as almost of reporters got news from US headquarters or rescue or medical helicopters?
LOVE
🙏🇺🇸🙏
Thank you for watching 🙌🏻
Hardcore dudes
The first time i got to know about Vietnam war was in the year 2000 when i read the book 'Everything We Had' by Al Santoli. Thanks to RUclips, i have watched dozens of videor about Vietname war and i can conclude that America had no husiness been in Vietnam. What a watste of precious young Americans and money..
In a documentary an old ex viet com veteran said the u.s. soldiers had better supplies where as they had to live off the land, berries e.t.c. he also said we knew where the Americans were because of the discarded cigarette buts on the ground.
What kind of Vietnam documentary cuts in for a commercial about the Buick SkyLark...one of the sh#tiest cars known to mankind?! And what kind of union bridge operator sells his scrotum for a photo op in a crap commercial. It was bizarre back then, and bizarre in spades now!
Doc training?
There are no atheists in the jungle! Take point!
HAMBURGER HILL?
Yes
I thought this was going to be raw footage
