    So much untold history, the military community stands on the shoulders of GIANTS. Outstanding episode, It's amazing to me how much we don't know. The Vietnam era created super soldiers. One of my top 10 favorite episodes to date. Tim Kennedy episode hands down one of my favorites

    This was a GREAT episode. This is the first video where Jack asked all the questions related to “points of reference” I ask every time I hear about these legendary battles. That’s the hardest part of hearing the stories is having absolutely no point of reference for what’s happening where, and how it all looks from the pilots perspective.

His assistant machine gunner best friend got shot through the forehead and died gurgling in my father's arms my dad fired his machine gun until he ran out of ammo they were throwing grenades in his hole he was throwing them back out he eventually got shot in the face and riddled with shrapnel from grenades..the hill got captured..the Koreans thought he was dead...the next day Americans re took the hill and found my father barely alive...he woke up on a hospital ship to france...he got a silver star for not leaving his position..the citation says the ground in front of his machine gun was littered was hundreds of dead koreans....my father says they were so close the stuffing from their jackets was was blowing around him like snow falling....he use to get drunk and cry and tell that story...his asst machine gunner was named CRIBBY...this went down by the chosin resevoir

    I remember a Vietnamese boy that was in my Martial Arts class years ago. We were both kids, 14ish. His father was very serious, never smiled. Not angry, but looked hardened. The boy was quiet but friendly. I really liked him.
    The father was a Colonel in the Vietnamese Army. Because he helped the U.S., he had to flee with his family when the south fell. A few months after they arrived, their daughter, 17ish, was murdered. That's when the son began training in Martial Arts.
    Those that fought against the North definitely had hardships after the war.

      A lot of folks give the SVN soldiers/troops a lot of crap for a lack of willingness to fight. It isn't true to be honest. Many of them had fought the communist heathens since '45 and many of them came here to the USA, with sponsorship from their old advisors and American troopers they served with.

    Old enough to know these brothers were dying for the Brown family in CA, monopolizing on the purest oil in world in gulf of Viet Nam. Governor Brown made law that CA could only use oil the purity of what they owned in Viet Nam. Crazy but true.
    To this day CA’s oil started from gulf of Nam.
    My words are not to in any way discredit these amazing awesome American Hero’s. Such Valor and Strength.
    My heart is for these men who were deceived to make the Brown CA Gov family rich and powerful tob this day.

    "There is no courage without fear."
    I'm not sure who said that first, but I know that it is true.
    Courage is what you do in the face of fear.
    The level of fear these guys had to have had, and what they accomplished in spite, is a measure of the extreme and extraordinary courage that they had.
    I have been in some very small engagements and a couple of full on, short duration firefights, and the level of fear I had to overcome pales in comparison to what these men experienced. I can't even imagine.
    The level of respect I have for them is beyond measure and description.
    Thank you Jocko.

Even in the escape of over 100 guys, only 5 of them got extracted via the helicopters then 30 stragglers luckily got out by walking.

    I read Mark Bowden's book about the battle of Hue. The 1st. Air Cav. was coming in to back up the Marines, but at one point got pinned down by NVA mortar fire.
    I'm, to this day, kind of angry with Bowden for his description of how some extremely unfortunate air mobile grunt, who was taking shelter in his foxhole, took a direct hit from a mortar round. Bowden described how this soldier was "plumed."
    I know it isn't Bowden's fault, but for some reason I'm still pissed off about this description of the death of an American soldier.
    Probably just frustration and grief on my part...the entire battle of Hue generated similar emotions in general. Extremely frustrating and heartbreaking.

    Would love to see an episode with Micheal Caine Talking about his time in Korea. We only have a few more years to gather first hand accounts.
