Why the British Didn't Fight in Vietnam

- We've wanted to make a video on the Vietnam War for some time, but couldn't figure out what it should be about, then we thought "I wonder what would happen if the British had to send in some kind of Expeditionary Force to help defend and evacuate the French? That's something that's never happened before!", and so, this video was born.

Have you ever wondered how the Vietnam War would have gone if it was fought by the British instead? Well, for one thing it would have been a conflict, not a war... nope.

Great content Squire
agreed
Maybe because they don't have their colonies to use a slave labor in cannon fodder
FYI, the British did fight in Vietnam during the period...starting involvement as part of the Malayan Emergency.
Some soldiers did fight alongside the Americans in patrol duty, but not many.
Also, the SAS was involved in raising anti-communist forces prior to American involvement.
British and Japanese troops fought together after ww2 to route out what later became the VC . Due to political bullshit the French took over, and we all know how that ended up
As an ex British soldier, I find this hilarious. The idea of being politically correct whilst shooting the enemy is surprisingly accurate. Wearing M60 belts with a Bren not so much 😂
Firstly, cheers for your service. Secondly, they're not just m60 belts, they're plastic M60 belts. Chinese ammunition.
That was the top secret model that had just been fielded after being tested by James Bond! In fact, it was so secret it didn't even exist!
NZ Soldiers, Vietnam, where given M-60 Chain ammo while they used the L1A1 Rifle, it was so they could supply the American machine gunners if they run out. though British wouldn't care about American machineguns that much having their own.
Whilst? Sounds like officer jargon to me...

Just because you’re locked in a struggle to the death is no excuse for rudeness. There are standards after all
Beret warning! Unfortunately the heat and moistness of the jungle rendered our perfectly moulded berets useless, making them appear as if we hadn't bothered to mould them. War is hell.
What about your cap badge?
That’s a fair point. Why no cap badge?
Because they cost a couple of quid! The Sterling on the other hand, that was money well spent.
The heat was so much it burned off "Animal Lover"'s Tattoo.
The Somerset Light Infantry Pith Helmet seemed to hold up just fine, though! I guess they were made for the jungle, so it’s to be expected
I read an interesting book called " her majesty's vietnam soldier " by Guy Bransby. About a brit who joined the green berets so he could fight in vietnam. It was a damn good read.
Bloody hell, I'll look that up!
Read the one about James Riddle that left the Royal Marines to join the Australian army just so he could go to Vietnam
I served in the REME with his son, he also came to Germany and was a civilian watchman on the main gate of Hobart Barracks in Detmold.
If johnny terrorist ever tried attacking the base when Jimmy Riddle was on watch I wouldn't fancy their chances
Alot of brits who emergrated to Australia in the time period hot Sent to Vietnam with the anzacs, there was a small British contingent there
Damned fine bloke, that.
The British decided not to invade Vietnam after finding it lacking severely in tea, opium and dry humor.
Umm, perhaps it was chock full of all 3 and they didn't want it to OD.
Theres serious amounts of tea and opium in vietnam
Literally the best place to grow tea and opium in SEA.
Nah, it's all the french bread that repelled them
We still have to make French bread until this day to keep the British away.
I always knew the Norfolk countryside and Vietnam were indistinguishable.
That's why they filmed some of Full Metal Jacket over the Norfolk Broads! It was totally a deliberate homage, not just because we live there and it's easy...

I can't believe this is true lol@@SquireComedy
@@greybeaver8300He is entirely correct in that Thetford training area was used to portray the flat country side outside Hue. It was also handy that the AAC operated Wessex helicopters on the area that could double for USMC Sikorskys. I've flown over Thetford nap of the earth with the doors open in a Wessex and and it looks just as it does in the film.
@SquireComedy I think the scenes where the brave/not brave BFNV are being shot by the door gunner is somewhere like Blakeney or Stiffkey salt marshes.
The Welsh being used in place of the Navajo broke me in the best way 😂

This bit killed.
It's not entirely a joke: my grandfather, who served as a wireless operator in the South Wales Borderers in Malaya during the Uprising, told me that if they needed to send a coded message quickly they used to get one of the Welsh speakers to send it so the Malay rebels couldn't understand (unless they'd all learnt their skills from the Free Wales Army, I suppose!)
"Why again would we fight there?"
"It's a former french colony"
"You're giving me the reasons to fight for them, nor against them."
"It'll fall in communist hands otherwise."
"And what's wrong with that? Look, we sold them our newest jet engines and how cool they look on those MiG-15's!"
Yeah,about those jet engines?
They were lost on a bet...over a billiards game
Those 1000s of civilians used Mig-15 look pretty cool.
This is the same sort of reasoning that got America to fund the IRA.
And not to forget how popular the CPGB was in British working class communities during the period.
Lots of drug money.
The sheer amount of references to old Vietnam movies is insane. Great work!
Cheers! It's not often we venture into this period, so we cram as much in as we can.

The British intervened in the Indochina War in 1945 and led a combined force of Japanese, British and British Indian forces to successfully drive the Viet Minh out of Saigon. So in their defense they did their part already.
I gotta read up on that sometime
Hand in hand with Japanese already in '45?
@@antonisauren8998 Yes, Japanese soldiers who had already been garrisoned in Vietnam at that time who had surrendered to the British were instead transferred to British command until they could get the Viet Minh situation under control. On October 25, 1945, a bizarre incident occurred in which a Japanese patrol captured a Soviet advisor to the Viet Minh, who the British handed over to the French.
What about the Malayan Emergency
@@skazztheterrible Some argue that if they had stuck around longer the entirety of the Indochina/Vietnam Wars could have been prevented.
A jab at prince andrew, with jabs at the royal family in generak for getting press from war, followed by the more ridicule of andrew in the falklands with his lack of sweat (also, goose stanley, a mix of goose green amd port stanley from the falklands) sent me over the edge laughing.

We had our own “british vietnam”; the Malayan Emergency.
And also the Anzacs fought in vietnam, but i’ve never actually found out why, not to mention the South Koreans fought in vietnam too.
From the national museum of Australia web site " The decision was motivated by a desire to strengthen strategic relations with the United States and to halt the spread of communism in South-East Asia."
Australia got a bit caught up in the "Reds under the Bed" thing, federal police spying on suspected communists, all of that stuff, especially in the late 50s and early 60s. Not as bad as America, but all the same, our government bought into the communist threat wholesale, so we sent Aussie infantry and NZ artillery both to "impress the Yanks" and to try to prevent "The Domino Effect." The public response was not positive. There are some excellent books about it, and the National War Memorial has tonnes of information about our involvement.
Anzacs are proberbly the only people insane enough to deal with the jungle.
Also the Konfrontasi/Confrontation against Indonesia.
We got closer to the US, due to Konfrontasi, Reds under the bed, domino theory and Britain's (no east of Aden) withdrawal from Malaysia and Singapore.
Also Britain joining the EU thus screwing Australian produce as a (not to be traded with status) from then on!............ (and we sent defence forces in two world wars to defend Britain!)
Australia created new trading partners in Asia and found it very profitable.
The bit about Andrew made me nearly spit my drink out. Bloody hilarious, Squire! ♥
so he really didn't sweat.

The Australian SAS and New Zealand SAS did fight in Vietnam and the RAF flew some combat missions from a base in Thailand to north Vietnam so technically both Britain and the SAS did fight in Vietnam
No RAF combat missions came from Thailand, it was the RAAF that were based in Thailand but many British were in Australian and New Zealand defence forces that have emigrated.
Bear in mind that the phrase "politically correct" was definitely very politically INcorrect in that era - it was a term that the USSR liked to use. Brits would instead probably say something like, "That just isn't DONE, old chap,"
Politically incorrect was a term first used by Mao, as an excuse to disappear people.
That's just not cricket.
That and they already fought in Malaysia
Edit: I like how the British soldier is wearing a German Afrika Korps hat from ww2 😂
You guys need to do an entire short on "If Full Metal Jacket was a British Film." I'd love to see Squire as a Drill Instructor. 😄
Full Metal jacket was a British film.
The training camp was Otterburn. The extras doing the assault course were British Army recruits getting paid a daily extras fee.
The battle scenes were filmed in the derelict parts of London Docklands
The training camp was Basingbourne Barracks near Royston. The film set assault course was still standing but a health and safety nightmare when I arrived in1988.
Is that a AVRE they're using?
Well the Americans did threaten war with us just a few years earlier. So we were still a bit upset.
Because you all wanted to keep Egypt destitute and psudeo-colonized, you had no right to be upset about our reaction

As someone who works in the NHS i laughed so hard at the "get them on an NHS w/l" line.
Great stuff loved it, laughed so much.
I'm loving the period correct weapons and the Westland Scout. Ironically, I used and worked on all them (including the Helicopter) when I was serving in the early 90s.
However. The Bren had been converted to 7.62mm by the late 60s and was then called the L4LMG and had been fitted with a slotted flash eliminator instead of the earlier conical version
Period correct? He is carrying a .303 Bren, and tropical DPM uniforms didn't exist until the late 1980s 😃
I have been on a similar river on these types of boats round here. Going over the 5mph speed limit by 1mph does not seem like much but when thats 20% of your speed i guess it is a lot.
It's obviously all about stealth. You don't want to give away your position by creating a wake. Plus being British you don't want to disturb the wildlife😂
I was down the pub the other day and some young squaddie was going on about his experiences in Iraq. After a while he saw me shaking my head and came on to me so I put down my drink and said "listen kiddo you have no idea what I saw when I was in nam, the blood, the mud, it was horrific itbwas inhumane noone should have to go through that"
He was taken aback for a moment then asked "you were in Vietnam?"
"No" I replied "tottenham"

We were going to fight there, but then they told us the French had left so there was really no point.
Strange how the only time the British went into Vietnam was after ww2 to help the French regain their colony back.
As an American this made me laugh so much. The way the English and French fight like cats and dogs won't end until Jesus comes back I think :)

"The Tetley Offensive" made me snort in a most undignified manner.
I don't know if the Brits taking over a French colonial war is the most or least believable part.
And it actually happened in late 45. They were the only ones close enough to occupy south Vietnam until the French could rebuild their army (China occupied the north) and the Brits, using surrendered Japanese troops they promised to send back to Japan if they helped fought the Vietminh and drove them from saigon
It would not have been a French Colonial War in the 1960s.

We had our lads doing national service in the Malayan Emergency, and they had had quite enough of shooting at the jungle and the jungle shooting back and rarely, if ever, seeing the enemy you're supposed to be shooting at.

There’s a mark Felton vid about the British in Vietnam
From what I remember I think they were in nam in 1946, had a nice short fight with the viet Minh nearly pushed them back/out (maybe) until the French who were inexperience in jungle warfare asked them to leave
The French are the ones who got Vietnam in the first place.
Yep. All that experience gained under General Slim in the Burma campaign against the Japanese came in very handy. It’s the same reason the ANZACs, who fought in Papua New Guinea, were so bloody effective: lessons learnt.
@@feliscorax there’s another reason my dad thought aswell
I live in Australia, grew up going through the forests of nsw/Sydney with him, he says it’s because the floor vegetation are very similar, I went to Vietnam in 2019 and the ground in the rural forests looks identical
I could tell where people had been. I assume the anzacs could the same or better
The British liberated Indochina from the Japanese in WW2 and then fought and almost defeated the Viet Minh but then it was decided to hand Indochina back to its original French colonisers, mainly due to American political pressure, a move not popular with the people of that nation who rather liked the British in comparison to the French who they hated.
