- Hi guys! This is my Vietnam Era display in the military museum. It's a quick tour -- I wanted to point out some of the important things and some of the vehicles used in that era. This video will bring back many memories for all the Vietnam veterans watching. Unfortunately 58,271 young men did not make it home alive. We honor the dead by reminding the living every change we can in the museum from all the wars Americans have fought in.
Any questions about museum tours, visit our website, www.dragonmans.com under the "museum" tab.

This man will never be killed in a zombie apocalypse
@Redd BlaZe how is that relevant to my comment lmao
Call of Duty black Ops zombies music intensifies
He would be king of the world with weapons
😂😂😂😂
The only reason he could be killed in a zombie apocalypse movie is at the end of the movie when he sacrifices himself to save everyone
This guy is too badass
Indeed!

Honestly I think he has more than one lol!

It’s Ok cause the Army straightened him out lol
Yeah
The amount of military knowledge this man has and is able to remember is insane. Much respect for him as a man, historian and Soldier
Hi Dragonman, hope you and everyone that took the time to read this has a great week
Thank you for your service dragon man your a bad ass man. All the respect in the world for you and those who served along side you.

That's crazy! Dragonman doesn't look like he's in his 70's. I was shocked to find out that he's a Vietnam veteran...that's awesome! Thank you for your service Dragonman!
"this is before, this is after" had me gone
So amazing too see all of this. If I ever get close enough too you you will be seeing me. Love the dragon 🐉 mans personality so much.

Case
He had me smiling and laughing
My grandpa served in vietnam on a tank and recently i got his old helmet my family has been looking for since 2016 when he died and just to see a person who also served in vietnam and has collected memorabilia just makes me want to visit your museum and hopefully I get the chance in summer
He didn’t
@@lamBETTERthanY0U he did
@@erinandcory7812 dragonman has never been to vietnam
How many civilians your grandpa murder in this failed imperialist campaign? Make you proud to know he slaughtered innocent people?
@@stolentardis2111 there’s always one
This dude explains how they made a Jeep that could function with 3 wheels if needed (which is cool) but then just passes a tank like it’s nothing. Nice.
RUclips algo really throws you a bone every now and then, really refreshing for someone to be able to show you a uncensored piece of history and what makes it better is that you can tell He's genuinely excited to be able to share his collection with us
And one of those soldiers that died cause of the plastic m16 was my grandpas brother
I was there, M-14's worked 24/7, M-16's, not so much.
@WYATT STREGER I would have the accuracy of the M-14 over the AK 47. Nevertheless, the Ak 47 is a legendary weapon. Too unfortunate for our soldiers being equipped with weapons designed without jungles in mind.
The military had to issue cleaning kits for the soldiers to help keep them operating. Unfortunately lost a lot of soldiers due to the unreliability when they first introduced the weapon
@Ok Then they were made in 1947.....
@@boondocker7964 I'm sure the A3's and A4's worked ok though. Right?
I was an Air Force Motor Pool NCO, this brought memories back for sure. 1968-1973
Did you see any civillian deaths?
So amazing it lasted so long. 59-75, I thought it began on 63-64
It began in 1955
@@rolloxra670 yea. The US got involved in 65
My dad served in Vietnam in 1969 when I was 6.Thank you for your service and your wonderful museum.I really enjoyed the video.
Man i wish this man was my grandpa, would be able to learn so much from this man and his collection is absolutely amazing.
It was to see my country's flag . My home land is Canada . Thank you to my brothers and sisters to the south . Thank you U . S. A.
Paul Gerald Paul my dad was in Vietnam in 67 and 68 he told me there where alot of Canadians that crossed the border and joined the us military and fought in Vietnam. He said he was in da nang and saw a us tank with a Canadian flag flying on it . The whole crew was from Canada
@@ds2271 that’s true where I live in Canada there was an article in the paper about some of the Canadians that had served in Vietnam.
@@diegoledezma4045 Estimates range from between 12,000 and 40,000. Of those, between 79 and 160 names on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial could accurately be called Canadians.
It is so so frustrating how Canada barely wants to remember those brave volunteers.
I’m Canadian 🇨🇦 & I still find it disgusting that our neighbours to the south came to Canada to avoid the draft , hope the IRS finds them to this day , bunch cowards
11:47 wtf, forget the cars and amublance vehicles, this guy has a tank in the museum
T-55‘s aren’t too rare.
It’s the M60 Patton I think
@@BUBBA808 its a t54-55 im certain
@@brunger7 oh ok Nevermind 😒
@Brennon Rohde I think having a tank in a museum is incredible. Cant a mate have an opinion.
This collection is totally insane
I had the honor of interviewing a Vietnam veteran when I was in high school, and if I’m not mistaken his wife served as a nurse for a short time during the war too. He has an intact (non operational) Vietnam helicopter it’s awesome.
this guy could supply a fucking army i swear he has a better collection then some countries have military
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸

What?
@@liammacaodha4783 He's shouting out his unit. He stated his company, battalion, division. He didn't mention the Brigade. You can look up US Army unit organization to see how units are organized.
I love the video. I would love to visit your place.
That man is a legend
He is
You must be a multimillionaire to afford all of this.
@@ricokoreanpoet8199 I certainly would like to visit one day.
@Eric Belinc it's something I would like to do as well. I'm sure it would be very educational
well no shit lol
A lot of it is given to him
he does buy a lot himself but he does get things donated aswell, i figure most military institutions would be honoured to add to this collection, it will surely live on for hundreds of years
My grandfather served in the navy during Vietnam when he was 18, some of the stories he told me were haunting
My grandpa worked with agent orange in Vietnam. He’s got cancer now
Wish him the best man, hope he makes through.
I feel you.
Same with my great-uncle, he died last year. Nothing but respect
may god bless him. I wish him all the best
@Salm0n yeast 💪🏻
WOW!! Just WOW!! Your collection is unbelievable. Thank you very much for your service and the tour. As a 25-year US Air Force vet, I am amazed. Also, I retired here in Florida but have a house still in Springs Ranch there in the Springs. Can't wait to go back and visit your museum!
My grandfather served in Vietnam and he was very dear to me. He left me all his metals and his service rifle after he passed away and I will forever cherish them! R.I.P. David Auldin ❤️
My dad was in the Big Red One, a strike unit. He used many different firearms, but his fave was the M14.
1st Infantry Division?
So lucky dude thanks for keeping this stuff means a lot to everyone. I'm from UK and it's so sad that I can't see some of Britains greatest ships. We have lost so much. Mainly the need for metal.
This gentleman has millions in there worth of memorabilia. To this very day, i never thought something like this could exist anywhere. Saying its impressive is an understatement.
You have done something truly amazing not only for how entertaining it is but preserving history is very important!!! Thank you!!!
You sir, are amazing! Thanks for your service and keeping the history alive! My Dad served twice in Vietnam do it was educational to watch this video! Wish I was near enough to volunteer in your museum. I love how you have your displays set up!
This is amazing, I love the history this man has in his head! I salute all veterans! Thank You!
My great uncle died last year and he fought in veitnam. This video really reminded me of him and all he did for the country and my family. I really thank you for bringing back great memories I had with him.
I’ve been watching your videos on your displays the last like day and holy shit you have amassed quite the collection sir. It’s so cool all the history you have there. If I’m ever out in your neck of the woods I will for sure stop by. Thank you for your service and thank you for preserving these priceless artifacts
Dragon Man absolutely rules. Love these videos, thanks for doing them. Also RIP to the lives lost in that conflict. PS: To the Vets, how realistic are films like Apocalypse Now and Platoon?
Platoon is directly influenced by Oliver Stone's time in Vietnam, I believe. So out of the "Vietnam Trilogy" (Full Metal Jacket, Apocalypse Now, and Platoon) Platoon is the most "realistic" you could say.
I'm not a vet btw this is just what I remember reading abt Platoon
I love this guy you can clearly see the effort and the passion that he puts in and what an excellent tour and display. I will definitely visit if I ever come to the states 👍
Way to go Dragonman! Much respect to you. I volunteered into the Army in March of 1971. Did my 20 years and retired. You brought back a lot of memories with those equipment especially the gamma goat. Great warehouse. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, my dad served Vietnam 2 tours, you have explained a lot! Memorial blessings to you. Thank you and God Bless you for your services. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Amazing stuff!! Was just in CO Springs and I didnt get to go...next time I have to find time to get there for sure!!
"Make sure your hatch doors are open before firing" hahaha....love those military manuals.
this the best military museum i have ever seen i remember getting my draft notice when i was 18 it changes your life forever thank you for your service and god bless
Thank you for sharing all of your videos,it is nice to see someone teaching the real history that the schools took out
Dragon 🐉 man you still looking young keep up the good work love your channel god bless
Thank you for your service sir nothing but respect for you and all veterans welcome home and thank you
weird considering you have a traitorous flag as your profile picture. You're thanking someone for their service yet have a profile picture of an nation that went to war with the USA
@@sk33t_38 I think you need to go back to school and learn some US history. I’m not one bit sorry snowflake if I offended you
@@markpoore3260 nah I think you do bud. You thanked a guy for his service who served in the same army that fought against the confederacy. If you dont like the USA so much then you should just leave. Tell me who fought in the Civil War then dumbass if the US and the CSA didnt fight each other in the civil war according to you. You got pretty offended that I called you out for being a dumbass snowflake.
@@sk33t_38 I will never be offended or apologize for being white all my family has served in the military my father was killed in Vietnam in 1970 I know what the sacrifices are
@@sk33t_38 that soldiers post has nothing to do with the Civil War it has to do with respect of our US servicemen and women who put their lives on the line every day so me and you can say what we want to each other over the Internet
Fascinating to see all that stuff, and with someone to explain it. Thanks for sharing!
Ive added visiting your museum to my bucket list. Thank you for preserving history!
Thanks for showcasing the things from Vietnam. My great uncle was drafted into Vietnam and only talked about it a little bit because of what happened, he died last year so this is very interesting and cool to see. He told us about how the Vietcong attacked his military base with mortars as he was out gathering supplies and was about to head back in and unfortunately a lot of soldiers perished due the mortar onslaught. He came back home to people protesting and harassing him for being in the Vietnam war and it was pretty sad. He never was the same after that. I hope I can visit someday to learn more about this war and many others. Everyone should see this.
I could spend a week in this museum
My dad was a Marine Radio Man in Vietnam. I miss his stories everyday.
Definitely adding your museum to my future road trips! Your memorabilia and artifacts are equal to any of the great national museums!
I don't agree with you on drafting, but respect nonetheless, impressive collection.
Love the video
Thank you for your service sir , and to all those who served and gave all.
I could watch these all days. Keep up the great work
A walking military encyclopedia
You got that nice VC/NLF flag back there. Cool!
Not only is this channel educational but inspiring thank you dragon man for creating and maintaining such a cool museum
Thank you for showing us all this. I'm gonna watch all your videos!
9:56 WOAH WOAH WOAH STOP! Don't just walk past without giving me an explanation. Whats the medieval armour doing in the Vietnam section. I need to know dragonman . 😂
They sent crusaders to nam to charge the vc and nva with swords to distract them while the us soldiers shoot the bad guys.
@@Hunter_Stonestreet 😂😂
The crusade knows no bounds. Deus Vult!
He has 9 of EM!
Hooah I volunteered my 8 years willingly lol call me crazy
My dad is is almost 20 years in he has two years left.
This man's passion, knowledge and patriotism is extremely impressive. His videos are so interesting and educational. Keep up the fantastic collection, sir. Thank you for sharing all your historic possessions with the world.
Absolutely amazing collection Dragon, wow lol, never ceases to amaze me. Salute to you, and all who serve and have served!
That old type writer sound in the back is driving me nut
Boohoo... get over it
That's why every day I had a problem😂😂😂
wow look at all the stuff he has lot of great material to look at must be wonderful place !!
Probably the finest collection in the world. Really put alot of attention and work into this masterpiece museum
Great collection, no fan of the US government trying to force me into involuntary servitude though. Live free or die, and all that.
You said “they never should have stopped the draft”. What sucks, is that a lot of times, plenty of able bodied people get disqualified at MEPS for silly medical reasons. I myself was medically disqualified. It was my dream growing up to be in the Air Force/Navy, either to work on or crew planes/helicopters. I lost a bunch of weight, had everything squared away, just for the MEPS doc to turn me away for a silly medical event I had happen a few years prior, that was already cleared by a doc before I went to MEPS. They wouldn’t give me a waiver. That was my dream, and they shot it down. I will never get to do my part for my country. I serve the community in other ways, but can never be the armed forces. But the good thing is, through museums and videos like yours, I am able to get close to these important pieces of history and see how those men and women got to serve and what they used. Thank you for that.
My grandpa was on a tank crew. Thank you so much for your service. I could talk to you for hours and hours.
I love the attention to detail!! Hats off to you. I hope we can make it there one day.
I wonder the feeling vietman veterans that are still alive feel when if they visit this museum. It must be really something for them to be in this museum with all this original items
Memories of them indiscriminately shooting fleeing civillians.
My grandfather was a vietnam paratrooper on my father's side and on my mother her dad was a korean war vet
Thank you for your service! You, sir, know how museums should be seen. Thank you.
I’m glad to see this man is still kicking. I played paintball with my recruiters and other recruits, back in 1997. Awesome dude.
With all due and UTMOST respect, considering everybody who came back with complications from Agent Orange; ended up drug addicts, suffer from PTSD, high suicide rates, etc. how exactly could you say the draft was a good thing? Again, I ask with all due respect.
Yeah I was gonna say the same thing. He was kind of dumb for saying the draft should still be a thing.. other than that I love what this guy is doing for military history. He preserves all sides and pulls no punches for any overly sensitive crowd.
I think he's referring to actor tents the war we haven't gotten into a war for a very long time not sure we had some mores after Vietnam but if the draft was occurring then it would just be basically bootcamp
I was waiting for him to pull out the AC-130
Bad ass museum man I’m glad you put this together for everyone.
I agree 100% on compusory military service. Too many young people with no direction in life.
more old salvageable metal
You think the draft was ok to fight in an unjust war? I would have gone to Canada or Mexico. Missed that garbage by one year.
I think he meant that in terms of the discipline that comes with military life less than the actual warfare of it. He could have meant something else too but what I got from it was that. Curious to hear more of your thoughts tho!
Thank you for keeping the memories for some of us alive
how does this only have 20k views this should have a mil this is great thanks for the tour dragon man!
2:11 thats so true we have to the same problem in germany we dont have to serve anymore and the younger generatio are a bunch of sissys .. sorry for my bad english love you grandpa you are so cool
the ppl who got draftet were exposed to Agent Orange and when they got back suffered deppression, PTSD, and high suicide rates, it wasnt a good thing
A offended liberal disliked lol
Wow!!! That is incredible & I mean incredible military 🪖 collection!!! Thank u for showcasing this!! 👍🏼🇨🇦
Dragon man, visiting your museum is on my bucket list!!!! Trying to get there this year!!!
You my friend are a National Treasure! Thank you 🙏
