Senseless violence to stop the boogyman. For every one of our guys that died, hundreds of them died. Civilian, and soldiers alike. I despise the war, but I have nothing but the greatest respect for you, and my father. It takes a lot of courage to put your life on the line. It's the ultimate sacrifice someone can make.
My American dad came back from there broken and an alcoholic. He's better now, but it took him until his 70's to snap out of it. All for "freedom and democracy" - the same line they sucker the young kids in with to this day.
These search and destroy " Briefings" were " key " to survival on the battlefield...Nice touch with the Epic Monster Hit by The DOORS. Mission accomplished.
Cheers John! - It’s always a pleasure to have knowledgable and positive feedback, thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed! I hope to see you back. I try to create one video a week.
I wanted to draw all of your attention to the fine acting of Dwight Schultz in the role of Howling Mad Murdoch off the A Team. His sensitive, often harrowing portrayal of the plight of those suffering from mental health issues has often brought me to tears. I mean, look at me, am absolutely davastated so I am. 😣

The Hueys in that sequence are from the 227th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 1st Cav Division. You can tell by the silver bird (with the raised wings) on the nose. The yellow lightning bolt on the cockpit doors was also a 227th AHB trademark. The Cav marked most of their Hueys with different colored geometric designs on their doors. Green was 227th AHB, Blue was 229th AHB, 1/9 Cav was yellow. A triangle was A Co. or troop, a square was B Co. or troop, a circle was C Co. or troop, and the diamond shape was D Co. or troop. I was a pilot with B and D Co. 227th in 1966-67. FYI, the green geometric designs with the yellow lightning bolts are still being used by the 227th Avn. Regiments based at Ft. Hood.
I would like to thank Aurora Borealis for there very kind way and the support .you have by far enriched my life .I am very greatful for you telling our stories for me it is hard to look back now and know it was 52 year for me from my first day there .you are #1 for your videos and the way you treat all 👍✌
I have to thank you as well Tim for your support and openness. I can relate to the pain Vietnam Vets went and continue to go through. It's such an honor to make these videos.
I was there in ‘69 and that obscene corrupt war stays with me through the yrs. I wrote my memoirs primarily for my grandson, family and close friends to better understand what happened to me over there. My son paid me the highest compliment he could…he had it published illustrated with my photos.
You want to go back because youre a hero and a good guy a patriot thank you for your service i cant even begin to imagine what a nightmare it was id be scared but i guess that can keep you alive

Those Hueys at 4:19 are not "cav", they're from the 2nd Lift Platoon (White Knights) 114th Asslt. Hel. Co. out of Vinh Long. I flew as a crew chief with the 1st Platoon (Red Knights) 69-70.
Dear Tim, Have been punched and kicked many times in the head and I was alright. But on March 15th Sunday just about the start of the lock down these two Chicago Women, one of them got her wallet stolen when I sent them up to buy their own beer. Now, I was not happy, because they had to fly back to the States in a few days. Then Monday 16th I met this real nice London couple. We talked, played guitar, I gave him my cans of beer, bummed tobacco off the Man. Then at the end he took me down to store to buy me cans of Guinness. Then at counter. He realised that someone had stolen his wallet. Then when he checked his card on his phone, well, whatever snake did that had already bleeped money out of his account. Fuck me. I have been punched and kicked in the skull many times, But I tell you boy, every time, I remember those two Chicago Women and the London couple getting burgularised. Fuck me, that it like a really good punch in the head. I feel dazed and stunned and ashamed of myself. Am not a happy Man. 😐
@@donmackay7149 Wow talk about bad luck. I know life can have its way of knocking one down .what counts is that you stand back up .March 16th is my birthday .the day before st Patrick's day .but. I hear you on luck .at time if it wasn't for bad luck it seems I would have any luck . check this out in 1992 I spoke with I buddy of mine I served with .the very next morning his son called me to tell me he. Had past later that night . and this covid thing hit on my birthday . I guess all we can do is roll with the punches . sounds like you have lead a very interesting life my friend . I was once asked . if some one poured. 8 once. Of fluid in a 16 once glass would I say it was half full or half empty .my reply was the glass is just to dam big ...... Blew there mind .chin up my friend . hey we chat often and I will tell you there have been days that it just so helps .you are a fine spirited man ...
Good evening Tim, Went for a jog by the seafront in Dublin and then did weights in back garden. Then I went into town and bought 24 Cans of Guinness. Am out drinking in back garden. The grass is burnt, yellow. The land needs rain. God is Good. 😉🇮🇪🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸🇮🇱
@@timsmith9169 Went out playing guitar in town on Monday and Thursday. Would have cracked up otherwise. Didn't attempt to make money, just bummed smokes and met some interesting characters. When I ran out of beer on Thursday evening I played four or five songs for some Irish men and they gave me six euro so I was set up.
My counselor asked me last week if I would go back again .funny thing I said yes he said he hears that same Answer for most all of us .it was the bond .the BB either hood not the killing or being killed

2:53 speaking from experience, those milspec machetes are terrible. In a Medieval melee, maybe not too bad. Stiff blade, capable of parrying, no hand protection tho. For brush you want a long, thin, wide blade. The US military machete is too thick, too heavy, too short, plus the handle is big/poorly shaped. It would be better for chopping down trees and splitting wood, maybe Good introduction text, proper historians. The speaking by the narrator was a good clip choice to; from the period and poignant. Good use of footage, tho at times it was tough to hear the song and the people at once. Nice to see some new footage

My brother Michael killed by friendly fire and eight others in 1968. While my father cop in Chicago coming home from riots with feces thrown on him. August 1968. The loss of innocence. The protesters spit on his glass covered coffin at LAX from Guam to Chicago. However even though damaged my family irreversibly we hope for peace. My nephew injured in Iraq lost part of face. Need to believe in democracy for all. My mother said no 21 gun salute at my brother’s funeral. It was her way to say not in agreement to war but respect means everything.

Even though I'm from the opposite bloc, and this bloc is communist. But there is something in it. This video and music encourages some feelings. There were enough brave men on both sides. And the main thing is that everyone wants to forget it faster, in the minds of young people. And you can't do that! THE MEMORY OF THE HORRORS OF WAR AND THE WITNESS TO IT IS THE KEY TO PANDORA'S BOX, WHICH SHOULD NEVER BE OPENED! MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER, A RED ARMY SOLDIER, TOOK PART IN THE OPERATION NEAR PROKHOROVKA, THE BATTLE OF KURSK, AND DIED ON JULY 25, 1943.
The Viet Nam War was a big mistake. US wanted to help South Viet Nam, but did not want to say fully behind the war. Hence, we were there 10 years, and accomplished nothing, but, 55,000 dead American servicemen and servicewoman, and who knows how much money it cost the US, billions and billions of dollars, in today's dollars, possibly trillions.
Did any kids born in the 70s, 80s or 90s worry about Nuclear War, invasion by anyone, going to bed worrying about the Stasi showing up to take daddy away? Then we (Vietnam vets) did our job. And I don't need or want an apology from you or anyone else. I just want respect for my dead brothers.
The Hollow Men TS Eliot I. We are the hollow men We are the stuffed men Leaning together Headpiece filled with straw. Alas! Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Or rats' feet over broken glass In our dry cellar Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralyzed force, gesture without motion; Those who have crossed With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom Remember us-if at all-not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men The stuffed men. II Eyes I dare not meet in dreams In death's dream kingdom These do not appear: There, the eyes are Sunlight on a broken column There, is a tree swinging And voices are In the wind's singing More distant and more solemn Than a fading star. Let me be no nearer In death's dream kingdom Let me also wear Such deliberate disguises Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves In a field Behaving as the wind behaves No nearer- Not that final meeting In the twilight kingdom III This is the dead land This is cactus land Here the stone images Are raised, here they receive The supplication of a dead man's hand Under the twinkle of a fading star. Is it like this In death's other kingdom Waking alone At the hour when we are Trembling with tenderness Lips that would kiss Form prayers to broken stone. IV The eyes are not here There are no eyes here In this valley of dying stars In this hollow valley This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms In this last of meeting places We grope together And avoid speech Gathered on this beach of the tumid river Sightless, unless The eyes reappear As the perpetual star Multifoliate rose Of death's twilight kingdom The hope only Of empty men. V Here we go round the prickly pear Prickly pear prickly pear Here we go round the prickly pear At five o'clock in the morning. Between the idea And the reality Between the motion And the act Falls the Shadow For Thine is the Kingdom Between the conception And the creation Between the emotion And the response Falls the Shadow Life is very long Between the desire And the spasm Between the potency And the existence Between the essence And the descent Falls the Shadow For Thine is the Kingdom For Thine is Life is For Thine is the This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper. Thank You for posting this very admirable work. Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will

@@timsmith9169 See you Jimmy!
My brother Michael killed by friendly fire and eight others in 1968. While my father cop in Chicago coming home from riots with feces thrown on him. August 1968. The loss of innocence. The protesters spit on his glass covered coffin at LAX from Guam to Chicago. However even though damaged my family irreversibly we hope for peace. My nephew injured in Iraq lost part of face. Need to believe in democracy for all. My mother said no 21 gun salute at my brother’s funeral. It was her way to say not in agreement to war but respect means everything.

Brings back memories smells sounds of a chapter in life that hide in the shadows of Humanity and the valley of Death where we once tread.😮😢
Damn.. .that's no b.s.

The real problem was we didn't know that they had 4-6 levels of underground bunkers, dug by hand.
Tough mfr's.
No b.s.

Nice work, but your background music is too dang loud.
No it ain’t
@@cwtckness Yes, it is!!
You boys that are complaining about the music, have no clue about what we experienced there. Music kept us a little more sane.

Was a damn good day he says

Even though I'm from the opposite bloc, and this bloc is communist. But there is something in it. This video and music encourages some feelings. There were enough brave men on both sides. And the main thing is that everyone wants to forget it faster, in the minds of young people. And you can't do that!

SADF?
@PeterNgola yes.
The Viet Nam War was a big mistake.
US wanted to help South Viet Nam, but did not want to say fully behind the war.
Hence, we were there 10 years, and accomplished nothing, but,
55,000 dead American servicemen and servicewoman,
and who knows how much money it cost the US,
billions and billions of dollars, in today's dollars, possibly trillions.
@@Johnny-uv7zb 55,000 is a weekend in Ukraine
Did any kids born in the 70s, 80s or 90s worry about Nuclear War, invasion by anyone, going to bed worrying about the Stasi showing up to take daddy away? Then we (Vietnam vets) did our job. And I don't need or want an apology from you or anyone else. I just want respect for my dead brothers.
@@carlcrisp8700Respect to you Carl. Please be at peace. So much destruction now.
If the music was not so loud, this would've been a great video....

The Hollow Men
TS Eliot
I. We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar
Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralyzed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us-if at all-not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
II
Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death's dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind's singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.
Let me be no nearer
In death's dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer-
Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom
III
This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.
Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.
IV
The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river
Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o'clock in the morning.
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow
Life is very long
Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom
For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
Thank You for posting this very admirable work.
Please Be Well, and Stay Strong, Will

I live with my mom now but Karen is a former neighbor. There’s 2 Federal agencies investigating this and also local law enforcement and county sheriffs but I can’t take this anymore. I’m using different languages because my FB/ Messager have been hacked and they are listening to phone calls, have disconnected calls to dispatch even blocked a police officer’s return call. This is not a prank
