@Sam Santana Sick is a twisted demonic way. This man's generation was probably the last innocent generation and look what their country sent them to do.
That’s because killing likely isn’t the worst thing he’s done. I used to go to church with a lot of old war veterans and at a memorial service one of them, very bitterly, flat out told the crowd “If you ever knew about the things we did, how we really were, you’d never talk to us ever again”, and I never forgot it. Every single time I’d ever seen this guy he had an amazing attitude, was very upbeat and friendly, but this time… His face was nothing but frustrated pain, you could just see how angry he was not just with himself and the things he had done, but with how nobody would ever really get it, nobody but other vets.
Yea. You better. Make a stupid mistake and get shot in real life. Good guys always have the upper hand over psycho. They dont operate on reality. Real soldiers in fact do. Just my two cents.
"There across the river, is this guy, NVA uniform, with some tables, sitting at sort of like a lunch area I guess.. And he's sitting there on the table with his leg up, just sort of watching the firefight.. So I.. By that time, I had the M14 I think, so I managed to ruin his day." Fucking damn. War is Hell.
@@cosmic_giant1523 Yea because after so many sons went off and never returned the American citizens said fck that. Never again. Its strictly voluntary now as it should have been.
@Bobby yes in the hands of average soldier that’s for sure, but give it to a marksman or even a sharpshooter and they will be sure to fuck way more up with the m14, the cartridge is well endowed lol, just look at the BAR.
@Bobby actually when the m16 was first issued during vietnam it was pretty unreliable and shitty lol that’s part of where the “ak is more reliable” myth comes from

It's a very different thing killing combatants vs innocents. This guy is clearly able to compartmentalize or even disassociate himself entirely from the actions he was obligated to perform against other soldiers. That's why the only one he felt bad about was the guy they ambushed, not the guys he killed in gunfights.
Look at this guy. He looks like that funny uncle with the best BBQ. If it weren't for the govt he probably would have went his whole life without punching a guy let alone taking a life. This is sick.
It's always the nicest guys I tell you . The quiet unassuming last one you'd think . 18 . Just like a run of the mill day . I hope one day I feel like him .
it's good that he can talk about it with such ease. I have a friend whose father was in combat in Vietnam as a Marine and he killed people up close and personal, hand to hand. He still won't talk about it. You'll see him get that thousand yard stare when he's got a little alcohol in his system and you know where his mind is but he won't speak about it.

Tom Chambers, I have the most respect for you and all you and your team did in combat. I personally slept with a LRRP team in my tent during 1968. They were the bravest of the brave people I have ever know. One night in May of 68 they were trapped on an old LZ, LZ Stella, in the A Shau Valley. They were completely surround by NVA forces and I was on the radio with them. You could hear the fire fight and the NVA clanging bamboo together trying to unnerve them. The next morning I woke up and they were in the tent sleeping. I spent 6 months with the 1st Air Cavalry Division Camp Evans 1968. I spent one year with the lst Engineer Battalion 1st Infantry Division down south La Khe. I was on the Tunnel Rat team working for S-2 and aslo Recon Team. Enjoyed the work and still in contact with 2 Tunnel Rat team members. Garry Owen to you Tom.
My wife teaches 8th grade English, which sometimes turns political on her for some reason. She can’t overtly say the truth in today’s society, so she’ll play clips for them from the mouths of those who can tell them the truth. She uses clips of videos from things that I listen to all the time, including Tom Chambers, Gary A. Linderer, Nick Brockhausen, etc. The Tom Chambers clips are usually short and right to the point on issues that they feel strongly about today, and it works. I can’t tell you how many eyes she’s opened to the real world by showing them these wise words.

Hello and thank you all for your comments. I just read them to my Uncle Tom and he is deeply grateful and moved by all of the positive feedback. I was almost in tears to see others appreciate my Uncle so thank you. God Bless
I've heard so many Vietnam vets rave about the M-14. It's a fantastically accurate, reliable, and powerful rifle. We still use a modern version of it today.
And also saying that he shot a guy once who was prone with an m14 and it cut him in half? - That's an absolute lie. Unless he put 100 rounds into that guy he's not cutting him in half at the waist with an m14. Every time i watch one of these videos on vet's stories there's always something that doesnt add up or is impossible.
@@nuck- Just saying but I've personally watched a deer get blown nearly in half by that same bullet. Hit in the spine so basically nothing was holding the rest together, exactly how he described here. Also, he never claimed to literally blow the man in half, just most of the way.
This same guy in another interview said that during his time in Vietnam he used an M1, an M14 and an M16, he said that of the 3 the M1 was his favorite, he cited how quick they are to reload as the reason for that, there's no mag to remove and with the bolt locked to the rear all you have to do is stuff another 8 round clip in it and you're ready to go. I've owned M1's and M14's and for years when I used to tell people that even though the M1 only has 8 rounds compared to the 20 round mag in an M14 they at least even out because of how fast you can reload an M1 they'd look at me like I was crazy.
He has killed more than he wants to think about 😔 I hope this man is at true peace. These warriors had no choice but to do what they had to do. He holds his countenance and himself so well to be able to explain this for all of us to know what he had to deal with. God knows what this soldier has truly seen and truly feels. Man, this hits pretty deep with how he explains it all.
What a well spoken gentleman. You can tell he is such a loving, caring, teddy bear at heart, but will make hell freeze over for his fellow Americans. Nam vets have a different type of respect given to them.
He shot the guy with a M14. Came back to view the body, turn him over and only his lower body turned over the rest of him stayed out. COT DAMN!!👀👀 THATS COLD VICIOUS
I worked with a Vietnamese gentleman a few years ago. Nicest guy you'd ever meet. Found out he was a high-ranking veteran of that war, killed a bunch of people, shot some with a pistol right in the head just like in the movies.
Never really been keen on hearing anyone talk about killing another person. I confess to following the Mob stories of Michael Franzese and Sammy Gravano this past year. They didn't take killing lightly. This gentleman comes across as earnest, articulate, and matter-of-fact in relating his experiences. It seems hard to imagine that he's suffered bad dreams or PTSD from his experiences, but you can't really tell. They were doing their job, and they knew the enemy was doing the same. Don't know why I clicked on this video. I'm glad the closest he ever came to boasting was to say, "I ruined his day." Thankfully, no one "ruined HIS day."
Yea.. poor biengs with nothing to lose so join a group of meat bags with guns to feel like the bully who beat em up and fucked his ladies in high school. Super

He has killed more than he wants to think about 😔 I hope this man is at true peace. These warriors had no choice but to do what they had to do.
He holds his countenance and himself so well to be able to explain this for all of us to know what he had to deal with. God knows what this soldier has truly seen and truly feels.
Man, this hits pretty deep with how he explains it all.
What a well spoken gentleman. You can tell he is such a loving, caring, teddy bear at heart, but will make hell freeze over for his fellow Americans. Nam vets have a different type of respect given to them.
Thank you for your service Mr. Chambers! Welcome home Big Fella!
Great interviewee. Excellent story teller.
He shot the guy with a M14. Came back to view the body, turn him over and only his lower body turned over the rest of him stayed out. COT DAMN!!👀👀 THATS COLD VICIOUS
I could listen to him talk all day, a natural storyteller.
Thank You Sir for your Service.
I worked with a Vietnamese gentleman a few years ago. Nicest guy you'd ever meet. Found out he was a high-ranking veteran of that war, killed a bunch of people, shot some with a pistol right in the head just like in the movies.
Nice
M14 cut him in half -- he went up in the air a foot! Thanks for your service- our .308 has been loaded way done since Vietnam
More likely it's a tall tale.
@@connorgannon1153 Vietnamese were small, 308 is a shredder
@@moderatemexicanamericanpat4904 Sorry, but it ain't that much a shredder.
Never really been keen on hearing anyone talk about killing another person. I confess to following the Mob stories of Michael Franzese and Sammy Gravano this past year. They didn't take killing lightly.
This gentleman comes across as earnest, articulate, and matter-of-fact in relating his experiences. It seems hard to imagine that he's suffered bad dreams or PTSD from his experiences, but you can't really tell. They were doing their job, and they knew the enemy was doing the same.
Don't know why I clicked on this video. I'm glad the closest he ever came to boasting was to say, "I ruined his day." Thankfully, no one "ruined HIS day."
i've seen this many times but for some reason i don't mind hearing him again
"no one i met who killed anyone at that time wasnt happy about it and wanted to do it again" "Its after etc" Way after maybe never
Respect to the interviewing for making sure it’s okay to ask. PTSD ain’t no joke
I like and respect this guy. 🇺🇸❤️
Such an articulate man, his calm demeanor is that of a true preservationist.
Thank you Tom Chambers for your service.
His voice sounds a lot like DR. Ben Carson
S U P E R L O W E N E R G Y
Don't judge a man until you've walked a mile in his shoes
Or have listened to him casually tell a story about killing people like most normal people would talk about buying groceries.
My left ear thoroughly enjoyed Mr. Chamber's stories
Mos def my kind of guy. Thank you for all of your service Mr. Chambers.
Thank you for your faithful service to our country 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tom Chambers & James Capers now that would be a scary fucking duo... hats off sir I appreciate your sacrifices
“I managed to ruin his day” fucking stone cold
I’m all reality he seems love a very nice and genuine well spoken man thank you for your service.
Soldiers are definitely a special breed of being. My prayers for every soldier Earth wide, below and above.
Yea.. poor biengs with nothing to lose so join a group of meat bags with guns to feel like the bully who beat em up and fucked his ladies in high school. Super
@@whiteeyes4628 huh????
Thank You for your service Mr. Chambers!
Horrific.
This is a very strong man. The pain he holds inside must be unbearable.
Thank you sir.
Stories like these remind me of why o hate hearing young kids use the term “savage”
We've been in two wars and numerous conflicts in the middle east for over twenty years, plenty of young people who have seen combat and done "savage" things, or did you forget?
@@idontwantahandlewtf I’m talking about elementary school kids who throw the colloquialism around like they’ve done anything other than eat hot Cheetos and play fortnite their entire lives.
It was either them or us .There is no mercy in direct combat . It's about survival on both sides.
Thank you for your service
It's Patrice!
Didnt know if anyone else thought that. Nice observation mate
Never heard any of the combat vets I know ever talk like this. Strange to say the least.
Funny you say that. I paused about a minute in because something seemed off. I listen to a lot of military interviews and none of them talk like this.
@@jesseobrien973 okay. I still haven't heard any other vets talk like this.
@@drmantistoboggan2870 so what u sayin ?
@@JannDough Im saying I haven't heard any other vets talk like this.
He seems kind of young to be fighting in vietnam. Granted this video is 4 years old , he speaks very clear and smooth for somebody who should be 70 + years old.
Respect to you sir...🏴🏴🏴
I know the feeling after being raised in the church what have I don /// MOS 8541 here
Thank u for your service
He very easily talks about it---I did a year in Nam 69-still having issues speaking about it.
something you may not have thought of is a therapist. they might help you to be able to talk
Love to hear these stories
My left ear enjoyed this
