The Animals We Gotta Get Out Of This Place - Vietnam War footage

- Опубликовано: 1 май 2021
- A edit of old Vietnam War footage from both sides news reels. The Vietnam War was long bloody and brutal “proxy war” fought by millions of people from many different nations. My gratitude goes to those who fought and served their country only to be thrown out like garbage after their arrival home. “Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world it festers and spreads. A shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was. So will it always be. In time all foul things come forth” - J. R. R. Tolkien (The Hobbit)

My God does this song take me back in time. Served as a Marine Scout Dog Handler in Vietnam, attached to the 1st Marine Division, Feb. 68 thru March 69. Back at our headquarters and kennels in Danang we had a small hut we used as a “slop-chute”. We would hangout in between operations, while waiting for orders for our next assignment. Had a juke box and a small bar that, on occasion, served 3.2 beer. At the end of the nite the last song played was this song by the Animals.
We all sang the lyrics at the top of our lungs. It all seams like a dream now. Was it not real? This song brings back some powerful memories. I was lucky. Made it back safely. Went to college and had wonderful career in the corporate world. Have a fantastic family. No regrets. God bless my fellow Marines whose lives ended in Vietnam. Semper
Fi brothers.
In 68 I was 8 years old, we had 2 older cousins in Vietnam fighting guys named Charlie! Thats all we knew! I became a cop, stopped an old van one afternoon, unregistered, uninsured. the Tatoo on the driver's arm said Danang 68, thanked him then sent him on his way, I still wear my POW/MIA Bracelet! Thanks John !
Respect !!
MY DEEPEST SALUTE TO WAR HEROES OF VARIOUS COLORS.@SURVIVEITISPOSSIBLE 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🙏🙏🙏💞💞💞
Respect for your service, from a brother over the pond UK/USA
4th Inf Div, Combat Engineer (Pick n Shovel), Central Highlands
Served with 9th Inf Div and 101st - now 77 year old and think of VN too often - no regrets, tears for those that came not back.
Where were you during Tet, sir?
My cousin Dennis loved this song back before his second deployment to Vietnam. He was the pilot of Navy helo sent to North Vietnam on a downed pilot back in July 1967. He and his crew were shot dawn and killed during the rescue attempt. Mia for 30 years now buried in Arlington Va.
RIP.💔🇺🇸
God bless.. thank goodness he finally got home.
TEARS for your loss.
My respect and condolences ❤
Glad Dennis finally made it home, but sorry for your loss. So many brave young men lost their lives trying to save others.
Thanks for keeping VietNam vets in our memory
I'm 28 but these songs and this war gives me tears in my eyes I thank all of those guys they were brave I love this country I wish it wasn't Soo f up now
Heard this song in Nam in ‘69 a lot. I finally did “get out” but you never forget do you?
You can't. Even if you didn't see action it wouldn't be easy to forget 'Nam.
198th Light Infantry Brigade 1968, came home on a stretcher. When ever I hear a helicopter, I still get the chills.
Was born in 70 ..thank you for your service
@@arkybaldknobber8062thankyou for your service
I remember we sang there's a better place in USA
Such a popular song in Vietnam, will never forget how many times i heard it over there. Always played as the last song from every music group that appeared there.
WELCOME HOME...!!!
My son's Dad passed away from MS after serving in the Vietnam era. My son honors him and is a musician playing classic rock from his Dad's era and originals. He and many Gen Xers are classic rock fans.
I had a uncle that served 3 tours including the Tet offensive as a Marine in Vietnam. I remember as a young kid watching the news at night hoping for a glimpse of him. With a month left on his third tour, he was wounded, evacuated, and eventually discharged after almost 19 years.
Well done.🇭🇲
I saw him on another Vietnam War Music video, is he Denny T.?
Did he mention the racist attitude towards Black soliders? It is my overriding memory of those days.
I'm Canadian but I did a project on the TET offensive. That was a horrible time. My thanks to him
My dad Ronald Pryomski from Detroit was in nam 68-69 101st also in the battle of hue. Wia during second tour. Miss you pops❤
Respect for all soldiers veterans and victims ! Thanks to all for your service !

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for globalist oligarchs. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”― Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket , a short book and speeches, published 1935.
Does the the victims include the five million people killed in South East Asia by the Americans in Vietnam War.
Vietnam Veterans, I will never ever forget you,
Welcome Home!
✌️❤️😊
salute to the men's and womens who served, home back the real world,
to all died, you're not forgotten.
Thank You Kitty. 👍👍
We need to stop fighting foreign wars. Army Veteran 82-91 🇺🇸
YES WE DO!
So do we🇬🇧
We fight foreign wars so we don’t have to fight domestic wars
Just keeps the ghost from the front door
U.S. Army. Served in Vietnam in 1969. Getting out of 'this place' was what we lived and prayed for each day. Hopefully, while still in one piece, and not too fucked up from the experience. If there ever was a Hell on earth, 'Nam was it.
And you couldn't figure that out BEFORE you allowed yourself to be a chump and pawn of your Government in Vietnam? Funny how so many of you say that the mission was to save your ass and the guy's next to you. That doesn't sound like you were "serving my country" and fighting for freedom. I figured it out and resisted the Draft and Vietnam. It wasn't rocket science.
One and a wakeup.
@@charlesstockford6003 It most certainly was a 'wake up'.
@@felixmadison5736 welcome home friend.
@@charlesstockford6003Same to you if you were in the same boat.
In 1967, there was a talent show at our H.S. and a few of us got together and played that song. I was the drummer. It was definitely a hit with the students. Little did I realize the song would be a bigger hit with those who served in Vietnam. BTW, I joined the Marines in 1970. (U.S. Marines 70-76)
SEMPER FI MARINE 76-81
Thank you for your service
I was a Vietnam/Draft resistor in 1970. Sorry you drank the Kool Aid.
@@topgeardel I suppose being a "draft resister" would be something to boast about in some circles, but it doesn't mean anything to me. In 1970, my "lottery" number was 52. I had been suspended from college for leading a protest/memorial for the victims at the Kent State massacre. I knew I was getting drafted and I refused to leave the country I loved, and had no intention of going to jail. I decided to join in order to choose the branch of service I wanted. I came from a family that had a long history of military service, dating back to the Civil War. My father was a Major in WWll. My brother found a way to get into the National Guard. I, on the other hand, chose to be a Marine. Maybe, by my joining, I prevented some poor soul from getting drafted against his will. BTW, I have nothing against those that resisted the draft, however, those that left the country to do so should never have been allowed to come back. I would hate to know that someone that left the country and came back ended up getting a job that a VET was applying for and qualified for. Have a nice day.
@@reb1050 I do appreciate your comment....but as usual I get a smile or laugh from the BS that's in it. I didn't just get off the banana boat when it comes to this whole subject. I've heard it all. First of all, the Draft and its F'ing "lottery numbers" were evil. I had a rather low number too. Not one of the positive things about our country. Nothing like America putting your life & American Dream on the alter of sacrifice at 18 for some shithole SE Asia nation that the US didn't have the guts or integrity to declare war...but sent its youth to. Canada, as I recall, didn't have that huge flaw in its national character. You should not have drawn a line in the sand about avoiding going to that country. Canada had honor and integrity the USA did not.
I try to avoid long comments...so I will break this up into pieces.
This is how I feel teaching high school.
I feel your pain!
Hang in there....
Psyops helicopter would fly over us near Cambodia playing “We’ve got to get out of this place”:with their PA loud speakers.
Nice touch, then off they would fly. Many of us did get out, many did not.
Sadly, the Vietnam era guys and gals are slowly fading away. Dad was WW2, Uncle was Korea, I am Vietnam era.
Yes, we are, as we watch our country die.

Massive respect to All the Vets who served in Nam
Takes me back to when I served in Nam from 68 to 69. Proud to serve my time in the U.S. Army.
Thank you for your surface
thank you for your service.
🇦🇺👍
Remembering Stand downs when everyone sang Short, Short. Some of the guys had 350 left and sang just as loud. They couldn't know it at the time but quite a few of those singers were shorter than they thought they were. The real heroes. The rest of us were merely survivors.
Yeah, it is heart breaking just thinking about it
My favorite Vietnam War song still coming in handy 2022.
So glad you have a "favorite Vietnam War song". What an ignorant statement.

Every night in the enlisted club at Cam Ranh Bay AF base where I was stationed in 1970 this was the last song the Filipino (or sometimes Australian) band played and the place always erupted in a riotous sing along. Many thanks to the army troops that manned the perimeter and air force gunships that keep us safe. Sappers only made it thru the wire once, but they succeeded in blowing up the huge ammo dump.
Yep!
This was by far the most popular song during my time in Vietnam.
It was played nightly in every EMClub from the Delta to the DMZ!
Still love it! ✌
Got to Cam Ranh December 70, NCO club had the great impersonators, Filipino bands, awesome!
@@michaeloberholtzer8030
Absolutely! 👍
Thanks and God Bless all who served you are special!
"we gotta get aut of this place if its the last thing we ever do" sed by every American in the Vietnam war.
The Australian and New Zealand guys too ❤️❤️❤️
@@kaysiebailey909 yes, and the ROK soldiers and Marines. Also Japanese medical support. All gave some, Some gave all.
I lived with the Afghan army in 2006 on the Pak border with 4 man team. Grew the beards, ate the Afghan rations, lived the life watching the rat lines all summer and interdicting what came across. This song was up there. Everyone wanted to go home at some point. I requested to stay in the end and extend. I was denied to preserve my mental health. Sometimes people are itching to get the hell out, and sometimes people start feeling that "this is where I belong and I shouldn't go back". That's the bad point.
The Russians in WWII called men who lived at the front and couldn't bear life in the rear area "frontoviks."
Some are born for it.
Most aren't.
Either way is fine with me.🇺🇸
Poor men should not agree with the rich men to kill one other.
All those who served “ Thank You!” You are my heros!!!! 🙏🏼
🇦🇺😅
amen brother. uk. x
Love that song! Then and now!!! Eric Burton👍👍👍👍

When we were fortunate enough to get a 48, 72 or 96 hour stand down, SFC LJ FIELDS and myself would go to the NCO club in Dong Tam and get drunk
We along with all the other NCOs would sing this song at the top of our lungs whenever it was played, which was often!
SFC Fields was killed in December of 1968. I see his face everytime I hear this song. RIP brother
😢
That's a heart breaker. Thanks for your service brother and welcome home. I was there at the same time.
I'm sorry to hear that brother. Thank you for your service!
God bless you, Sergeant.
RIP to your brother. 💔
Welcome home!
Bless all those poor young men who fought a war we weren't committed to because it had not the cause ww2 did. And people didn't care enough then. They sacrificed and bled like the greatest generation we owe these viet vets respect!
Amen. Totally agree. These boys were as tough any force we've ever fielded
I was honored to be the keynote speaker as a preacher in 2007 at a Memorial day cemetary association gathering. More people than what i thought including the press.
In front of stood Vietnam vets, about 15 maybe more. All were in tears.
I made mention of them fighting a war they weren't allowed to win.
Many memories with this song.
I was only 17 in 1971.
God bless our Vietnam vets.
You were committed you just got your 🍑🍑🍑 handed to yourself by the Vietnamese people
The same happened with Korean war but it had less hate.
We weren't committed enough to risk war with China/Russia.
1969 Ben Luc, Vietnam. I was a River Rat on the Vam Co Dong River - AFVN Radio played this song at least three times an hour. Peace my Brothers ✌
Being with a squad of Army Rangers I was never afraid whether in a bar or a jungle
our anthem all those years ago....

@@evannunez7471 Thank You
I was attached to Mike 3/7 in Jan and Feb of 69. Under the command of then Capt. Paul Van Riper, later Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper. I was a Scout Dog Handler. He was the finest officer I served under in my four years in the Corp. 65 thru 69. What a man!
I grew up in a rough neighborhood! Vietnam was there in 1967 & 1968 to include Tet Offensive in 68. War is hell!
Terry here, Guess you needed to be there. Music was our Salvation along with the Arty’s 105’s and Napalm…
It helped up at Camp Eagle, too.
My brother-in-law served in the marine corps and was home on leave. He went to take a nap before dinner so when dinner was ready his mom went to wake him up. She was very quiet and when she came to wake him up he attacked her thinking he was back in Vietnam. Luckly she was not hurt he realized who she was and where he was before it could have gotten bad. To all who served in that war my deepest respect. you deserved better from your country when you came home.
Well said!!
Really? They deserved better? They were all dumbasses to go, whether willingly or unwillingly. There is a saying, "You make your bed, you sleep in it.". Whatever they got from the public came with the "territory". And BTW....instead of thinking how unfair the American public was...remember that the American troops weren't necessarily "choir boys" while in that country. I was a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. American troops did a lot of bad shit in that country....both to the Vietnamese...and even to themselves. And the American public knew it.
Oh my, what a memory. God bless you and love and peace to you.
@@christinewhite6993 thank you I will always have the deepest respect to all who served. From my dad and uncles in wwll to my brother who i never knew.
This used to happen.. alot! My hubby is a Vietnam War vet.. refuses to discuss it.
Them Cobras were bad ass bite and strike
yep, a solid streak of red coming out of the mini guns tracers, every 5th round
Brings me back to operation rolling thunder when we bombed the Hell out of north Vietnam, still have 6 bullet holes from 3 tours but never bought it, still kicking
Listen to the words of the singer! Listen to fortunate son! Live the lyrics!

God Bless for sure :)
An Air Force Cessna, " I think it was a bird dog" with speakers on it's wings used to fly over our camp playing this song and dropping Chu Hoi pamphlets off our perimeter. I'll bet the pilot had fun doing that. We enjoyed it as well.
Respect to you.🍻
1st Cav, Central Highlands 1966-67. USAF PsyOps bird flew over our base camp blasting this over the speakers and then put an Air Force recruiting commercial. Gotta give him credit for nerve.
Millenials think that " Fortunate Son" was the anthem of American soldiers in Vietnam.
It wasn't, this song was
Fortunate son is grossly overplayed
Agreed
1st Air Cav, March 1967 to March 1968, TET at AnKhe. Never Forget. Welcome Home Brothers/Sisters
Thank you for your service brother!
This is the song for all the soldiers that will out of the shit and go home. I feel with you. We hear it in a three war sins 1969....
Cobra gunships are still the deadliest looking machines I have ever seen.
Snakes!💥
MACV Mekong Delta 08/68 - 08/69. Loved this song. Us draftees would sing it at the top of our lungs. Don't think the "Lifers" liked to hear it. I made it home and so did my brother who went over after I came home. God bless our brothers and sisters who did not come home.
Not a personal story or a Vietnam war related story but 2 of my great grandfathers fought in ww2 one was in the secret service and the and the other one was a bomber pilot in the RAF flying Lancaster's, Wellington's & Halifax bombers
My hats off to all that served. I heard stories from my dad everyday after what was left returned. Some were gruesome some were funny some didn't make much sense all were captivating. He said there are no atheist in the foxhole, I think that is quite fitting. Good luck
They would not declare it a war! Our guys coming home were treated very bad! So bad!
Horrible, actually.
The hate, as you know, should have been directed at the politicians.
I was born in 68 while my Dad was in Vietnam, GOD Bless our Vietnam Veterans, and God bless you Dad..

The war that comes with its own sound track, awesome
And glad it turned out that way- great music
I was in the British army in the 1960s. We had a war which no one has heard of going in Borneo at that time, and we sang this song too -- the jungle soldiers' song.
Combat in Hue city, house to house, Thomas Mitchell behind the wall fighting the NVA with the first battalion fifth marines, he made it back had a great life, he's gone now.Semper fi .
I feel bad about our military veterans from different wars that has worked hard fighting for our country they need alot of respect, and support from people
They did alot for our country and I care about them and support them for helping us out when they did fight hopefully people should know how too support them !
i mean we lost in vietnam and the world kept going just fine...i dont blame the rank and file but for fucks sake 58k dead for nothing
They fought for... let me see. South Korea, Grenada, Panama, South Vietnam regime, Iraq's Shiites, Afghanistan's non-Pashto tribes? idk what the f you are you talking about when you say "the veterans fight for our country."
How to support them? Maybe don't vote republicans who cut down Veteran support.
Can you tell me what good the American War in Vietnam do for the people of the u.s. ? Other than making billions for the American military complex ? The same thing happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.
@@pedalingthru2719 exactly right...pointless

oh what a freakin time that was. I can still smell the stench of death & decay that was that god damn country. Hardly anyone new what the hell we were doin there. Only sane thing was to rely on our brothers and hope to go home. Yeah, damn flashbacks happen.
Sad... That "god damn country" may have been hell at the time (one of our own making) but it is, in fact, beautiful -- and the young people are ambitious and optimistic. Never in a million years thought I would ever travel there, but I did, and now have several Vietnamese friends. Let's not get suckered into yet another war.
GOOD SONG!!! BAD WAR!!!!!
All war are bad. Especially the ones US force.

I graduated from high school in 1968, this was our Class Song. I went into the Marine Corps after that.i did a combat tour the same year came home in late 1969. there are a lot of songs that came out during the Vietnam war era that seem to trigger my memory of Vietnam and what I saw and did there, the smell of diesel fuel, but mostly certain songs. movies like full metal jacket(just the first half,2nd half is BS in my opinion...)first half was a lot like boot camp on parris island(with the exception of the shooting)
Takes me back. I did not serve. Had my draft card and waited. Not called
We facing the same problem now it weird how history repeated itself.
Never forget
This video and song brings back memories- both good and bad.
Dedicated to my Brother Eddie Saenz ❤
Marines 🇺🇸
God bless the military 🎖️
Instead of video games and IM chats, we spent our high school years waiting for our draft notices and figuring ways not to die or be maimed for life. Not really, it was just a fact of life. You could run to Canada or go to college or go to fight in a foreign land.
Or join the navy or airforce
I'm a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. America doesn't know how to use its military since WW2. America was imperialistic, narcissistic and paranoid how it approached its national security. That was the fact of life.
Even college wouldn't save you when the draft lottery came in.
This song was the "last song" of every night in every lonely outpost of our military ..... and maybe still is!
heeeeelllll yuuuussss!awesome tune.....thank you nam vets much love and respect!
I'm still amazed I survived...2/1 Marines 65-66
Thank you for doing what I was not capable…able to do

1972 Saigon , i was 15 years old trying to understand what it was all about. I wasn't there , i was here in the UK. I am still trying to work it out
vietnam did give us some great movies... jus seen Apocalypse Now for the first time last month.. great film.
The hell thay went thru, god bless them all
Too bad The Dead Kennedys, The LBJ Country Band, and Ritchy Nixon and the Burglars didn't sing a version of this song also.
To my Nam Vet Brothers and Sisters, Welcome Home. As for the song, I really don’t remember ever hearing it while I was there. Sorry. Marine Nam Vet, Chu Lai 68-69 1st MAW.
Man do I remember this... Thanks for the post I'm done for now k.....
I take the liberty of tiptoeing into this all-American discussion, being Italian, but saying that young soldiers are "invaders" doesn't seem right to me, it's the governments that decide to wage war. I remember that in those years, 1966-68, in Italy a song was sung whose title was "There was a boy who loved the Beatles and the Rolling Stones like me", the lyrics of the song spoke of a young American who played the guitar in Italy, Yesterday , Lady Jane, etc... and that he was recalled to America to go as a soldier in Vietnam and that instead of a guitar he has an instrument that gives a fixed note: "tra-ta-ta-ta"..... he doesn't sing more songs but shoot the Viet-cong,.....Stop with the Rolling Stones,....stop with the Beatles...."he won't go back to his country now he's dead in Vietnam.....
C'era un ragazzo che come me amava I Beatles e i Rolling Stones is a fantastic song. Thank you very much for your comment about it, I would not have found such a great song if it wasn’t for you!
@@BCbuddyeh Yes! "C'era un ragazzo che come me amava Beatles e i Rolling Stones" there is also a version sung by Joan Baez.ciao!

My favorite! What a song!
Sad times, great music
Same thing going on right now. SAD!!
This song , had it been aired in 1954 , could've equally applied to the soldiers fighting at Dienbienphu ... and then Khe Sanh in 1968 ...
It was sung by Brit soldiers in Afghanistan.
My daughter's Godfather was a Marine M 60 gunner at Khe Sanh.
He made it, obviously.
His assistant gunner did not.
