God bless you!!!!! You choked me up. 😢 Welcome Home!!!!!!!!! Love❤your interview. I’m sorry you had to go through hell. It had to be hell. Glad you are now on American Soil!!
Good interview
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸
I feel however you deserved a better interviewer.
Why so bad? Thought he was good.
@@mebeasensei He was good, it was the interviewer who was terrible.

Ok Ool
…..
I disagree
.the interviewing was fine
Whether or not the person conducting the interview is good, fair or terrible, they're trying. The people criticizing are most likely doing nothing besides criticizing.
Thank you...
You should look into the ammunition of the United States used in some of our conflicts / Wars. A lot of them have a nuclear byproduct projectile that are radioactive and cause a lot of health issues. I forget the name of it but it's used in a lot of tank Munitions and things like that. Because it's very dense / hard and we'll go right through but when it explodes it contaminates the area. And by the way thank you for your service. It is a shame how the Vietnam vets were treated.. as for your son a lot of the burn pits that they have over there where he did his tours are causing a lot of health issues to the soldiers. My opinion I think whoever was responsible for making you all have those burn pits and the other things that harmed our soldiers should be held accountable. It's a shame that you go and fight for your country and do your duty. Then have to come back home and deal with health issues on top of all of the other issues that War causes to our soldiers is flat out unacceptable. Because you can't tell me that they didn't know that these things would cause issues to our service men and women.
Thank you for your service!🙏🇺🇸🎉
The Government don't have respect for veterans and just disposal them like trash but for me I always have respect for veterans
Good on you for attempting reconciliation mate. It says everything about you as a man. Respectfully
Thank You for your service SIR!
Thank you for your service sir 🙏
Tks for your service sir
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for your service.
I can see why they have comments disabled on many of these interviews. The trolling on here is despicable.
It was a sapper elephant.
God bless you for your service
Terrible interviewer, How does he come up with all the stupid questions that had nothing to do with Vietnam.
IMO the interviewer sounded like this is your life. I was ready to get up and walk away.
They need to edit some of these interviews. Too many aaahs.
The army put him in comms, too!
The audio is to low.
Thank you for your service... bet he is cringing at how many times he says aahhhh....WOW...THOUSANDS 🤣 😂
Don't like this interviewer gets too personal with people's ancestry. The interview suppose to be about his military service not his family tree.
He does that on every interview.
Cut to the chase. Too much time on family background. Now I don't want to watch the rest of the video.
Too many family questions. IMO
Urmanic... really? REALLY???
To topgeardel
I see you are back to leave your disgusting comments
Go read or run
Why do you want to say mean thing about this man ?
Shame on you
Ya know, ya know, ya know, basically basically basically, unlistenable.
If this G.I. felt vengeful due to wrongdoing, think how the surviving victims of My Lai and other atrocities must of felt.
Exactly. A "small" issue that most of the people who watch this sh*t don't acknowledge.
Think about how the communists pulled MY Lai massacres everyday. But that's cool, because it was their own people? It's excusable to Fonda types, because it was "their" war
@@user-yx9bs8zo5q Who the hell were "Fonda" types? And what "type" are you? I can guess but I will give you the honor. Make it good.
@@user-yx9bs8zo5q Yes sir. Sadly these are the same people who are destroying the country today. To be surrounded by the enemy. Knowing they wait till night to come out and kill. Little kids killing soldiers. Women who purposely spread vd. The humidity, the year long tours. Hoping not to run out of supply or ammo and worst of all k owing evac was possibly not coming while your friends bleed out and their bodies rot in the sun all while liberals bitch and moan and run from duty question everything you do. Excuse they think they are so much better. Well these are the same people who beat, burn, loot, cities all to protest the killing of a worthless junkie... don't let them get you down.
You know nothing. You blame this man for what Johnson did...and yet you are still probably a Democrat who's history is steeped in depravity and yet you only point out other people's flaws.
If you Believe in Jesus Christ, you will be Saved by Grace Alone, John 3:16, KJV....................,,
Great at being a veteran, but not great at public speaking!!! Just commenting.
His difficulty in speaking is a deal breaker
A 2 hour interview, huh? Let me summarize the important thing about this man's Vietnam "story". He allowed himself to be sent to someone else's country where he did not belong. That war was NOT his fight. He was a chump and a pawn of his bully and dysfunctional Government. His time there did nothing for American freedom, security and safety. He is not a hero nor is he anyone's victim. He is a survivor of an American tragedy and got a 2nd chance at life. Anything else he says is for sordid people who get off on war stories. That took about 1 minute.
If you got such a hard on for non Vietnam shit, & Putin’ down American government shit, and just being a shit in general, my question is why the f*ck are you still living in American, ‘cause we sure as shit don’t need you, so just move!! It’s not like we’ll miss you, you ain’t special.
What’s your story buddy? Done anything with your life?
@@benedicthampus4964 For starters...I 'm a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. It was because of people like me that help hasten the end of an 11 year American tragedy that wasted and almost destroyed America. Ultimately, that saved American lives. I did that as a teenager. Since your question is a loaded one....that's all you get.
@@topgeardel You came here to watch a man speak of his service so you could belittle him? Congratulations.
Maybe you can do an interview about how your heroic actions shortened the war to 11 years....
@@user-yx9bs8zo5q Yet another Neanderthal that thinks he can comment intelligently. There was NOTHING "heroic" for guys going to Vietnam...willing or unwillingly. They were chumps and pawns of their Government and the US military/industrial complex. It was people like me that refused to go, deal with any potential consequences of our choices, and also took it to the streets. Those were dangerous times in the US. If you aren't from that era, you don't know sh*t.
Nobody cares about interviewing people like me b/c they get off on war crap. I was challenged by a guy to go to a VFW meeting and speak to the veterans there. No problem at all ! I would go in a heart beat. But I never got an invitation from the guy....b/c he was a Neanderthal too. Pity the veterans if I came to their meeting.
