South Vietnam's soldier flight till their last bullet, meanwhile their former prime minister and almost all the high-ranking officials fled the country💀
The last defenders of South Vietnam, the US ran away and left these guys underequiped and underarmed against a North Vietnamese Army groaning under the weight of Soviet and Chinese aid.
a huge part of vietnamese population nowadays still believe they won by using stick and bones again the mighty americans. Im sad to see where this country is going.
my granddad was defended at cộng hòa street, and trương minh giản street until he out of ammo, and get order surrender from president @@treesarecool3601
US was never intend to defend Vietnam. The US only USED Vietnam to contains ChinCom. after 1969, when US dealt with ChinCom to contains the USSR everything after that is history.😉
My grandfather was an officer in the ARVN. He was a captain by the start of the war and by the end, he was a major. He didn't rank up a lot because he didn't see much combat due to his job. He was a civil engineer. After the war, he was put into a reeducation camp like this veteran here. When he was released in 1984, he moved to the US and built a house for his family. He passed away in December of 2020.
My grandpa fought in the Vietnam war. He had 7 children and worked and fought alongside the Americans and Australians. Speaking English, Vietnamese, French and Cambodian. He was a highly decorated soldier, the informants came looking for him after the war. He fled with my dad and uncle, fleeing through a rice field and having bullets indescrimnately shooting at innocent people. He ended up in Sydney with his two sons, my dad and uncle. He passed away before I could meet him. May you rest Ong Ngoai, thank you for your sacrifice, for helping those in the village fight against opression. And for fighting for our family and where we are today.
My grandfather was an ARVN airborne Sergeant. He defended Saigon in the last day till the last bullet. The North commie sent him to the concentration camp for 2 years and took our home in Saigon, sent the rest of our family to their so-called “New economy zone”. We will never forget what the commie did to us, to other ARVN soldiers, to the free Republic of Vietnam
They called the Airborne "Angels in Red Hats". The Airborne Division of the ARVN were all volunteers (Like the Marine Division) no conscripts. So unfortunately they were treated very harshly by the VC after the fall of Saigon. They were the last ARVN troops to surrender, still fighting the NVA at TSN Airport on the last morning of the war.
And after so many years that kind of scenarios, was also happened in the country of Afghanistan, when they saw that they are no more use to them they simply abandoned them to meet their own fates, at the hands of the enemies.
Nice to see more interviews of South Vietnamese vets. Mainstream Vietnam War history often portrays it as the Americans fighting "the Vietnamese", ignoring our antiCommunist South Vietnamese allies. Did Hanoi Jane and her ilk who opposed military aid to South Vietnam say a peep when the South Vietnamese were put into "re-education camps"?
It amazes me how widespread is the misconception that “the Americans” fought “the Vietnamese”, rather than a U.S.-led coalition of likeminded Asia-Pacific countries attempting to assist the South against infiltration and invasion from the (Soviet and Chinese-backed) North. I don’t know if they are entirely taking Ho Chi Minh’s side, or just ignorant.
My Ông Ngoại (Grandpa on moms side) fought in the South Vietnamese army then Air Force. He was a lieutenant (highest rank you could achieve as a draftee). He was sent to a re-education camp and faked an incurable illness, so after 30 days of faking they let him go (since they thought he was going to die). He then went back to my family, and took all of them to America. I was born in the USA and he died when I was 17 (now 23). Forever greatful for what he did for my family.
Born and raised South Vietnamese under Socialist Republic of Vietnam here, I guess your old man was a coward, cant escape from his war crimes. Cry about it.
Both of my parents were sent to the reeducation camps. We fled on foot from south Vietnam through Cambodia into Thailand to freedom and made it to the US in 1980. The stories they have told me are very sad and heartbreaking.
My father served in the Vietnamese Marines because they were better trained and fed well. He avoided ARVN mainly because it was conscripted and there was a lot of graft and corruption. He wished things were different with how the structure was ran. But him and all Vietnamese people are in debt to all the democracies that sheltered and adopted us. I can happily say that today, he can pass away peacefully in Vietnam or United States. Both countries are currently strong Allie’s.
War is hell, being used for other's political gain is even more hellish for the underdogs. Having been born under the current VN regime, I can only sympathize for both sides as a human-being that care deeply about other's stories. I could not dare to judge this man or my countryman that once imprisoned him, we all had something to believe in and fought for. May all souls that lost their way in war be rested peacefully in this new age.
During the Vietnam War, Australian troops suffered the least casualties because they were smart enough by dispersing themselves on the battle fields. Otherwise they would get destroyed by communists' heavy shelling. They scored a big win over the commies at the battle of Long Tan near Nui Dat, Province of Ba Ria.
I actually served in Iraq with a dude whose dad fought with Americans during Vietnam. His dad was brought to America and he grew up here. Eventually joining the Army.
Incredible story, thank you sir for your service. The right of South Vietnam to exist and the virtue of non-Communist countries in helping defend it is usually omitted from the narrative. Your memorial and ritual are very moving.
cảm ơn ông, con là thế hệ sinh sau đẻ muộn ở miền nam, con sinh 1999, chúc ông và gia đình nhiều sức khỏe cũng như biết ơn những những người đã hi sinh vì đất nước
My father is one of the last officers still stuck in Vietnam, just because of the interviewer's unconvincing refusal. My family has lost the benefits we should have enjoyed, which is sad and regretful. Everything is now just a thing of the past.
I know many Vietnam Veterans and they fought to the death for the freedom of the South Vietnamese. I hope you know that they didn't want to leave. The American government failed you miserably, and I'm so sorry!!...but the American soldiers did not. I am happy to see that you started a new life in Australia. God bless you!!!
They were brainwashed that the VC would massacre them if they took over the South, which history recorded was not the case. Regarding the lack of ammunition and equipment, the amount of war booty captured by the VC was worth nearly 5 billion dollars in 1975 and the ammunition was enough for the VC to fight for 10 years in Cambodia. They are simply a mercenary for the US, with no spirit of unifying the country but just following orders. Regarding being in prison, he certainly has never been to the prisons that his regime has reserved for VC throughout the South, especially in Con Dao and Phu Quoc. Tens of thousands of prisoners were tortured to death there without trial. His regime's crimes against its own people are unforgivable, ridiculous for the so-called love of homeland.
It doesnt make sense if I say I want to protect my country but you have to pay me. The fact is the south VietNam army stop working when US stop paying them. On the otherside the VC dont have SALARY but won in the battle field. I'm curious about this man saying he joined the army earlier just because he want to contribute for his country or he just want to have job to make money. Moral of story is if you dont want it bad enough even with huge support from people the probability that you may fail is high.

The truth is there was no record of bloodbath in Saigon, however there was a silent bloodbath when the re-education start, Vietnam at that time was the largest prison state in South East Asia. Over 1 - 2.5 million people went to re-education camp WITHOUT A SENTENCE & over 150,000 didn't make it out alive - IS 150K not considered a bloodbath? Not to mention, did You know which was the longest imprisonment in re-education camp after 1975? it was over 37 years - in the case of CPT. Nguyen Huu Cau for accusing 2 VC official raped 2 innocent boat-women. You mentioned Phu Quoc? Did you know that in 1973, the VC prisoners that did NOT want to join prisoner exchange over Thach Han River, there were political and civilian prisoners in PHU QUOC, you can't compare the 2 treatment between 2 class of criminals - YOU CAN'T GET IN PHU QUOC PRISON WITHOUT A TRAIL under Republic of Vietnam Laws - you are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
@@nguyenduc8741 You knew that NVA also took support from CHINA, USSR, NORTH KOREA, CUBA, LAOS, CAMBODIAN communist forces as well, right? THE VC DIDN'T HAVE SALARY BECAUSE THEY HAVE FOOD STAMPS BRUH. If you were North Vietnam and DIDN'T join the ARMY at that time, YOUR WHOLE FAMILY WILL STARVE (cắt sổ gạo) because there was centralized economy. After 1972 - 1973, South Vietnam only received around 50% of the support they were promied. ARVN also had a widespread corruption & MIDDLE LEVEL LEADERSHIP - NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT, but comparing a 1975, ARVN was alot weaker in 1972 but they managed to win Easter Offensive ( Chiến Dịch Xuân Hè by the VC), in April 30th, Br General Le Minh Dao held Xuan Loc for 12 consecutive days. It was a feat in itself!
On April 30th 1975, South Vietnam fell into the hands of the Communists from the North. Countless Southerners from various backgrounds were being herded into concentration camps. The author was one of them. "I MUST LIVE!" was the loudest scream I had ever made, which activated my survival instinct when I was tortured to the point of death. Thanks to these three words, I was able to survive in order to recount the painful and horrifying experiences to share with the readers. It was a type of experience that the readers could not possess and no one wished to have. In short, this is my experience: HUMAN COMPASSION HAS ITS LIMITS, BUT HUMAN EVIL IS BOUNDLESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT EVIL IS INCITED AND INDOCTRINATED BY THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST REGIME. I hope the book I MUST LIVE! will give readers a deep insight into the darkest side of life, at the same time as to realize that they are the most fortunate people on earth compared to the life of the author. Father Nguen huu Le.
When the French defeated and left Vietnam in 1954. The country divided into two partition states: North Vietnam is the communist and the South is Republic under Democracy government. So, let both side of Vietnam run their countries the way they want. The American participated in to assist by providing aids to South Vietnam to fight back the International Communist (that is Soviet Union and China). So, the US helped South Vietnam so long until 1973 and declared to withdraw cutting significant aids to South Vietnam. The let South Vietnam fight alone against North Vietnam (North Vietnam with the helps from Soviet and China)...and so those nations (US, Australia, Korea, Philippines, Thailand and the whole West) under Democracy running away. Sounds great, huh? Ultimately, the citizens of the Republic of South Vietnam collapsed and its people stranded and faced the consequences of all cost: jails, rapes, rootings, refugees, death, poor, loss....You name it. Why the West entered the war rather let South Vietnam taking care of their country from the beginning, so they didn't depend on the West? You promised and ran away from this war.

They didn't promise to be in a forever war. I guess you are forgeting that the US had 58,000 soldiers killed in Vietnam. They had already lost over 30,000 troops to hold South Korea less than two decades prior as well. It's hard to sell tens of thousands of your own soldiers dying half a world away for people you don't really know or share much with culturally. The US also isn't a dictatorship. So every 4 years public opionion can change etc. Also, the US didn't lose a single major battle in Vietnam. The issue was they were not going to invade and occupy the North. So they opted to instead fund the south and provide aid. Unless the world was ok with the US taking control and dominating the entirety of North Vietnam, it was pointless. The saddest part? The US won anyways. Communsim in Russia, China, and Vietnam all collapsed in the 80s. Now all 3 are primarily capitalist countries and all attached to the US and Western Europe for economic success. The war didnt even need to happen.
@@GloryToVietnamthe fact that you have Soviet in your name discredits you from any criticism of South Vietnamese politics. While South Vietnam did have its problems, it was a very new democracy and was at least more democratic than the North and had multiple parties and vibrant debate, and was making improvements year by year. The North remains an entrenched single party authoritarian tyranny.
South Vietnam fell, because the government was terrorising its own people, didnt have a day of stable government after Diems death and had no other public support. The South Vietnamese military was in the Top 10 of militaries worldwide, both in manpower and equipment. The Southern Regime didnt lose because the US abandoned them, the Southern Regime lost because it was nothing to fight for.
Little do Vietnamese people in Vietnam today realize that the Southern way of life ended up winning in the end, the North basically fought for nothing. South Vietnam was already free since 1955 effectively, and had managed their own affairs.
I dont believe a country wanted by the french, run by catholics who cattered to the french, and the CIA in a country whose population has nothing to do with catholicism is free....lol
Sorry, you are wrong even in the sentence, there are no north and south of vietnam, there is only and only one Viet Nam that our father and ancestors have been fighting for 4000 years!
@@adrianshephard378 you should learn more about vietnam history, we united vietnam as one. loser make film, that's is american style, he don't represent for whole people of vietnam
There’s a point we should all notice: After the U.S. stopped aid for South Vietnam, they didn’t have enough capabilities to fight anymore. That means they depended on the U.S.-which is an outsider-to protect themselves. Objectively, war (or politics in general) isn’t a game of right or wrong; it’s the game of winners and losers, and the winner is considered the right side. So, if South Vietnam couldn’t fight by themselves, they didn’t deserve to win. That’s it. P.S.: - I'm Vietnamese, living in Vietnam right now, my grandfather was a government official in South Vietnam. Even thought I tried to be objective, I know my opinion may offends some of you. - I’m happy that the man's having a good life in Australia.
Well the same could be said about the north to be honest. Last time I checked, the rifle most commonly associated/used by them (the AK-47) wasn’t a weapon created by them… the north won because they were being backed and supplied by 2 of the biggest communist states of the time (Russia and china) that didn’t care about how much they were spending to fuel their communist cousin’s war effort. America’s people on the other hand did have a say in the matter with how much they we’re spending on it’s capitalist cousin, though unfortunately it would result in the south losing.
And Hanoi depended Moscow and Beijing. The North Vietnamese leaders lied and broke the Paris Peace Accords when the war was thought to be over. The Communists lied (which they always do) reneged on the agreement and invaded South Vietnam.
North Vietnam depended on fuel and ammunition from China and Soviet Union, your comment is just hypocritical. ALL of Vietnam whether North or South does not have the economy or capacity to fuel a war on its own.
@@abrahamdominguez5517 wtf Vietnamese invaded Vietnamese, North Vietnamese didn't need any Soviet troops, Soviet and China cut supply for North Vietnam in 1972, fk the domino effect, US want this land so badly they even assassinate the dictator Ngo Dinh Diem because he didn't let the US army join.

Thank you and appreciated Mr Be for telling the truth of The South Republic of Vietnam fought against VC for protecting the freedom and democracy of The South Vietnam. My dad was member of The South VN Army's Paratrooper Division's 204 Military Police was died by The North communist regime's revenge on all over both military members and civil officials for the South Republic Vietnam. The North VN communist regime died for a rogue, unrealistic theory against The South Republic Vietnam's just, freedom, democratic, peaceful and prosperous cause.. I wish Mr Be and his family well being and prosperity on the Loving Australia nation. Toronto, Canada.
prosperous??? Don't make us laugh=))) Those who can ran away to USA, Australia are the rich people wich are politicians,businessmen,...,and the people got left behind just cannot afford thousand dollars for the US to take them away, cause they are too poor and got nothing else to lost.. And the richs always have a close relationship with the Government and the US , that's why they hate us, because we took everything from them. We took away their rich life that was built by the US's dollar, a fake prosperous in Saigon or just the 1 district in HCM city nowaday.
xin cảm ơn ông cựu chiến binh VNCH. vậy ông có thể giải thích những quả bom đã được ném xuống ở Hà Nội nói riêng và 1 số nơi tại miền Bắc nói chung bấy giờ được không?

Anyone or any nation with US on their side stand to lose one day or the other. They will leave them as well and when policy changes as it suits them. See Ukraine, now Taiwan on the line. South Vietnamese paid a heavy price.
I just want to commend everyone for the unwavering support. We celebrate Veteran’s day with fervor and joy. Please don’t ever feel guilt or shame. The past is painful. But our futures are bright.
Well this guy is feeling sympathetic to allied invaders aiding an empire in promulgating its liberalism in a country half a globe away. The report also stated that the Paris Accords were supposed to end the fighting. It was true, but it was the Republic of Vietnam who continued to wage war in hopes of regaining American trust and aid.
Welp, this is just the perspective from a minority of South vet, majority of them after being re-educated sent back home, and in 1978 a lot of them re-enlisted into army to fight Khmer Rogue

It was the British who ran away from the Germans when they invaded France and Belgium in WW2, leaving a huge hole in the allied line. They also gave just about all the materiel they had as a gift to the Germans when they left at Dunkirk.
There’s nothing so precious as independence and freedom. The residents of Republic of Vietnam was not wrong, all people want their country to be independence and freedom but they have to know what actually benefit for the long period and development of Vietnam
Vietnam war reminds me of my people from Burma experience and it was very similar in the same way. During 1994s, the KNLA soldiers split into two groups and one group of soldiers were separated from the community and created by the communist regime and then they called themselves “DKBA” and they were attacks against their own people and became a communist alliance. The Burmese regime was very excited about the group of soldiers (KNLA) who were split up into two groups and fought with each others.
All of them got brainwashed that they would be killed if got captured by commie sadly the war crimes they(RVN) did in Vietnam War were mostly forgotten
stupid. Do you know how many people the communists killed? During the land reform, they also killed their own people, so is it strange that people think the communists will kill the people of the South?
They're all the traitors of our people. In the past, they're the slaves of French, all the generals of Rep of Vietnam were in Indochina French army. After 1954, they continued becoming slaves of American. They always said that Vietkong will kill them all, but no one died in the place they called "communist prison". Nowaday, they're still telling the worse thing about Vietnam. Ignore them, they're just the traitors and losers

Je me suis engagé en 1986 parce que je ne voulais pas voir ma patrie submergée par d'autres communistes, ici, en Europe.

It's your choice to believe in them. But let me tell you lots of them are extremists. They are common to hold grudges against the North Vietnamese and often badmouth a lot.
After the French was defeated the country was set to vote for Ho Chi Minh or Ngo Dinh Diem as president and reunite the country. Ngo knew he would lose against HCM so with the US support he decided to power grab by breaking the Geneva treaty signed by the South masters French. Vietnam was never 2 parts so HCM fought the South VN to liberate and reunite Vietnam 🇻🇳 as one
Blatant communist lie! It was France and China that came up with the Geneva Accord of 1954 to divide Viet Nam into 2 halves separated by the 17th parallel: the North for Communists, and the South for Nationalists.
And these idiots have the nerve to say that North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam when the us literally meddled in their election just install a puppet leader who was an unpopular leader that most people didn't even want.
HCM was no liberator. He was a ruthless dictator who believed and convinced everyone that communism could solve all the problems they were facing. And yes, Vietnam was two parts South Vietnam was a country at one point.
If you talk or brag like that about our Vietnam's re-education program, then look at the prisons of the Republic of Vietnam. There, Communist prisoners of war were brutally tortured and treated disgustingly, shot to death without mercy. Before accusing others, look back at what you have done to them. But can you confirm the information you gave? In other countries, prisoners of war on the losing side will be shot. For example, in France after WW2, people who followed the Vichy government were all killed. In Korea after WW2, those who collaborated with the Japanese fascists were also shot. Only 1/10 of your soldiers go to re-education camp and the rest integrate into society. The people who go to re-education camps are only high-ranking commanders of your government.
Based on the comments I read at the time of writing, here are my thoughts of the war, both mainstream, and sources from people in the south. Have fun reading. "The US originally 'invaded' Vietnam" -> This is commonly taught to everyone in Vietnam post '75. However, South Vietnam (RVN) was created by the co-operation of the new southern government (successors of the final Emperor of Vietnam + a French handover of leadership) with the US (the "liberators" and French's successor that want to kick out the French but don't want to leave due to communism). South Vietnam's "illegitimacy" -> This ties in with the first. While the idea that the US prop up a "puppet state" in the South spread after '75, the same can be said to the north. The southern government at least have the lineage date back to the Nguyen dynasty (the final dynasty in Vietnam). The flag is also a final version from the previous dynasty's flag (yellow flag with red circle) with a mix of the history of the French colonial era (white flag with 2 blue stripes). The northern flag have little source to prove its lineage. Official the red and yellow star is a new creation after the formation of the new northern government in '45. But other sources cites the appearance of the red flag from southern China. The flag was seen moving to Vietnam when the Kuomintang liberation force cross the border to arrive at Hanoi. Couple this with photo evidences of South VN's flag hanged around Hanoi post '45, and the way communist parties work (there is no such thing as nations in socialism; they are part of the larger sphere of influence), there can be a legitimate case to say the Soviet and China "prop up" the northern government. Both government were legit, and both were heavily influenced during the entire war. US soldiers' brutality -> There are videos of US soldiers in villages and cities everywhere. But rarely any photos from soldiers in the north. They are infamous for scaring and disguising among southern civilians, which make it difficult for southern and US soldiers to advance (these gorilla tactics are reveal by northern soldiers after the war). War is always brutal. But the south have freedom of press that allowed quick communication from the frontline to the media back in the US. Effectively dooming the support for the war. Agent Orange -> Real effects or false claims. Look for correlation between the agent and people, vs the agent for plants. They work on plants, but their effects on people are mostly on presumptions. The US still allocate money for the recovery effort, which is good regardless (because whether the correlation is real, the civilians still need help). There is little mention of food rations, many are full with unknown preservatives, that were supplied from China to the same regions where agent orange were presumably used. These rations are not tested, and where delivered straight to people in poorer central regions. There is a sharp difference in the number of cases where people were affected by agent orange, with central regions affected the most. It's also strange that the central region were where supplies from the north arrived into the most; and many cases of agent orange are people in families that have contacted to north Vietnamese soldiers. There are a lot more. You can start looking into them. English sources are limited but you can also translate the Vietnamese articles from both mainland Vietnam and overseas for further information. Try to authenticate and explore these: - Origins of Ho Chi Minh (this guy have evidences that he were born in China; the where able the original person Nguyen Ai Quoc after he left Vietnam is unknown) - The naming of Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. This re-enforced the claim above. Throughout history, the last name was used when referring to the dynasty, while the middle and first name was for normal naming. (Nguyen dynasty. Emperor Nguyen Phuc (Bao Dai), Tran dynasty, Emperor Tran Thanh Tong. Or the famous general Giap (Vo Nguyen Giap)). No one called other as their last name. But Ho Chi Minh was always referred to as 'uncle Ho', not 'uncle Minh' - Claims of corruptions in the south from the north and US reporters. Locate their sources (for example, every government will have some form of small corruptions. But the north claimed that the failure of controlling corruption is one of the main causes of the south's collapse. In the mean time, the final president of RVN have a friendly policy with the north, and the former prime minister of RVN - Nguyen Cao Ky, fled Vietnam, and become friendly with the new government again. Soldiers in the rank have family members in the north army. Some even provide money to support the war and to get a good pardon afterward. There were traitors left and right in the southern chain of command that 'corruption' was the least of their worries. - Interesting story: Former president Nguyen Van Thieu and the 'missing' 16 tons of gold 'fiasco'. The legitimacy of the accusations. (fun fact, the gold were still in the country, yet people escaped Vietnam were still accusing Thieu of shipping them to the US in a few 'luggage bags') - Lasting consequences of the socialist reforms from '75 to '86 (that's why Vietnamese currency have so many 00000) - Southern liberation front: A socialist government yet more friendly to the west. Working in tandem with the north for years to liberate the south, dissolved a month after reunification. Pol-Pot: The leader guy were buddies with Mao and Ho for years. Until he went rogue and decimate Cambodia. Then invade Vietnam in '78, in which Vietnam have to occupy Cambodia for nearly a decade.
Which southerner? I am a southerner and I hate those who sell out their country and betray the Vietnamese people. Where were you in 1945? Where were you in 1954?
Sir. My grandfather also served South Vietnam as a truck driver. However, he realized the truth and stayed at Saigon at the day of reunification. And unlike your "story" up there, my grandfather willingly accepted reforming and were allowed to go home after 3 days. And then....he lived happily under this very flag 🇻🇳. His son was 10 at that time. And yes, that boy would then become father of me & my little brother. None of us got to suffer any animosity because of my grandfather's history. Heck, my maternal side of family have elders serving North Vietnam. Yet none of...i repeat...NONE of them showed any disgust to my grandfather. We Vietnamese have one thing in common: Forgiveness. We did so to Nguyễn Cao Kỳ & Dương Văn Minh. So please. Stop spreading lie about North Vietnam & Vietcong. The truth is the truth. You walked away from your birthplace.
If your grandfather had of been an infantry soldier in the Airborne or Marine Divisions, I can guarantee you 101% the VC would not of let him go home after three days and "forgiven everything". The VC divided their southern "enemies" into different categories, while a truck driver with a willingness to accept the new bosses may of gotten off lightly. Many many soldiers of the ARVN were not so fortunate, and their "crime" (and the crime of their descendants) fighting to keep their beloved country free from communism.
@@RS-rj5sh then 101% of your words are loath of crap, man. Because I, as well as many many VIETNAMESE, am fully aware that many made-up stories exist to discredit what North Vietnam & Vietcong soldiers did for Saigon. They can exist as much as they want.....because we have every right to consider them bullshits. Also, Many ARVN soldiers (the ones that stayed after April 30, 1975) at that time were treated fairly as long as they had no offensice intention. Some of them even willingly joined in the battle against Khmer Rogue.

Nice talk, very nice. Now let's talk about the crimes the Republic of Vietnam (southern Vietnam) did to its people and the crimes America did in Vietnam
You have no idea what you are talking about. Read the books "The Night They Burned The Mountain" and "Deliver Us From Evil" which describes the terror the communists created by mass rape, torture and murder of innocent civilians in the south as a psychological weapon against them. Also, 1 million people moved from the north to the south before the communists closed the border.
@@mr.brawlstars6464is that on film? In here we call that people willing to help the vc we feed our army and supplies them, can you talk how U.s massacre My Lai village? With no sight of VC only innocent people?
I am living in Vietnam, life is very good now, but there are some elements from the Republic of Vietnam regime attacking online, causing a rift in my nation, thank you to those who have fallen, neither we communists nor the people of the Republic of Vietnam regime.
Any regime has its dark sides, and I do not completely deny the dark sides of the VC, but it's funny when the soldiers of the Republic of Vietnam talk about how they were treated when they went ideological re-education, that is only a small part compared to what VC had to endure, typically Phu Loi prison, you guys can search on gg for more =) It's clear that the crimes of the Republic of Vietnam are uncountable. You guys just made this video and exclaimed: "Oh, the VC are so cruel", but do you dare to brag about your achievements? Typical example is Ngo Dinh Diem's guillotine :)
Viet vet usa. Said ARVN they were lame we didnt trust them we had a few as kit carson scouts. Australian army said they had no elan didnt fight well poor battlefield spirit.
@@pudanielson1 The ARVN of 1975 was a lot more capable than the one of even the late 1960's. However they were trained in the US style, dependent on air mobility and technology, quiet different to the northern PAVN. When that air capability and technological advantage collapsed in 1975 due to the withdrawal of US support, the ARVN collapsed.
Same thing. The usual Americans will leave out any Ukrainians who died while saying America lost none. Count on it. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese died fighting for America and the common American boasts leaves those South Vietnamese out of the kill count when they were fighting and putting effort into the fight. They boast about only American losses. That’s pride and hatred. For the Vietnamese They never cared about you and were never your friends.

My grandfather was an officer in the ARVN. He was a captain by the start of the war and by the end, he was a major. He didn't rank up a lot because he didn't see much combat due to his job. He was a civil engineer. After the war, he was put into a reeducation camp like this veteran here. When he was released in 1984, he moved to the US and built a house for his family. He passed away in December of 2020.

Because you have balls and are very honourable people.

The war is in the past, the lesson learned is maybe we shouldnt kill each other and try to understand each other.
not the traitors
My grandfather was an ARVN airborne Sergeant. He defended Saigon in the last day till the last bullet. The North commie sent him to the concentration camp for 2 years and took our home in Saigon, sent the rest of our family to their so-called “New economy zone”. We will never forget what the commie did to us, to other ARVN soldiers, to the free Republic of Vietnam
They called the Airborne "Angels in Red Hats". The Airborne Division of the ARVN were all volunteers (Like the Marine Division) no conscripts. So unfortunately they were treated very harshly by the VC after the fall of Saigon. They were the last ARVN troops to surrender, still fighting the NVA at TSN Airport on the last morning of the war.

Nice to see more interviews of South Vietnamese vets.
Mainstream Vietnam War history often portrays it as the Americans fighting "the Vietnamese", ignoring our antiCommunist South Vietnamese allies.
Did Hanoi Jane and her ilk who opposed military aid to South Vietnam say a peep when the South Vietnamese were put into "re-education camps"?
The left lives in a fantasy world
It amazes me how widespread is the misconception that “the Americans” fought “the Vietnamese”, rather than a U.S.-led coalition of likeminded Asia-Pacific countries attempting to assist the South against infiltration and invasion from the (Soviet and Chinese-backed) North. I don’t know if they are entirely taking Ho Chi Minh’s side, or just ignorant.
My Ông Ngoại (Grandpa on moms side) fought in the South Vietnamese army then Air Force. He was a lieutenant (highest rank you could achieve as a draftee). He was sent to a re-education camp and faked an incurable illness, so after 30 days of faking they let him go (since they thought he was going to die). He then went back to my family, and took all of them to America. I was born in the USA and he died when I was 17 (now 23). Forever greatful for what he did for my family.

Both of my parents were sent to the reeducation camps. We fled on foot from south Vietnam through Cambodia into Thailand to freedom and made it to the US in 1980. The stories they have told me are very sad and heartbreaking.
My father served in the Vietnamese Marines because they were better trained and fed well. He avoided ARVN mainly because it was conscripted and there was a lot of graft and corruption. He wished things were different with how the structure was ran. But him and all Vietnamese people are in debt to all the democracies that sheltered and adopted us. I can happily say that today, he can pass away peacefully in Vietnam or United States. Both countries are currently strong Allie’s.
Vietnam has no allies and swing like a pendulum from at early as 1995 until now.
War is hell, being used for other's political gain is even more hellish for the underdogs.
Having been born under the current VN regime, I can only sympathize for both sides as a human-being that care deeply about other's stories. I could not dare to judge this man or my countryman that once imprisoned him, we all had something to believe in and fought for.
May all souls that lost their way in war be rested peacefully in this new age.
During the Vietnam War, Australian troops suffered the least casualties because they were smart enough by dispersing themselves on the battle fields. Otherwise they would get destroyed by communists' heavy shelling. They scored a big win over the commies at the battle of Long Tan near Nui Dat, Province of Ba Ria.
There was also far fewer Aussies deployed.
Aussies fought bravely, but they also fought in fewer operations. Control your hubris.

They were brainwashed that the VC would massacre them if they took over the South, which history recorded was not the case. Regarding the lack of ammunition and equipment, the amount of war booty captured by the VC was worth nearly 5 billion dollars in 1975 and the ammunition was enough for the VC to fight for 10 years in Cambodia. They are simply a mercenary for the US, with no spirit of unifying the country but just following orders. Regarding being in prison, he certainly has never been to the prisons that his regime has reserved for VC throughout the South, especially in Con Dao and Phu Quoc. Tens of thousands of prisoners were tortured to death there without trial. His regime's crimes against its own people are unforgivable, ridiculous for the so-called love of homeland.
Up to this point they still don't realize that they are being taken advantage of, it's pitiful.
It doesnt make sense if I say I want to protect my country but you have to pay me. The fact is the south VietNam army stop working when US stop paying them. On the otherside the VC dont have SALARY but won in the battle field. I'm curious about this man saying he joined the army earlier just because he want to contribute for his country or he just want to have job to make money.
Moral of story is if you dont want it bad enough even with huge support from people the probability that you may fail is high.

The truth is there was no record of bloodbath in Saigon, however there was a silent bloodbath when the re-education start, Vietnam at that time was the largest prison state in South East Asia. Over 1 - 2.5 million people went to re-education camp WITHOUT A SENTENCE & over 150,000 didn't make it out alive - IS 150K not considered a bloodbath? Not to mention, did You know which was the longest imprisonment in re-education camp after 1975? it was over 37 years - in the case of CPT. Nguyen Huu Cau for accusing 2 VC official raped 2 innocent boat-women. You mentioned Phu Quoc? Did you know that in 1973, the VC prisoners that did NOT want to join prisoner exchange over Thach Han River, there were political and civilian prisoners in PHU QUOC, you can't compare the 2 treatment between 2 class of criminals - YOU CAN'T GET IN PHU QUOC PRISON WITHOUT A TRAIL under Republic of Vietnam Laws - you are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY.
@@nguyenduc8741 You knew that NVA also took support from CHINA, USSR, NORTH KOREA, CUBA, LAOS, CAMBODIAN communist forces as well, right? THE VC DIDN'T HAVE SALARY BECAUSE THEY HAVE FOOD STAMPS BRUH. If you were North Vietnam and DIDN'T join the ARMY at that time, YOUR WHOLE FAMILY WILL STARVE (cắt sổ gạo) because there was centralized economy. After 1972 - 1973, South Vietnam only received around 50% of the support they were promied. ARVN also had a widespread corruption & MIDDLE LEVEL LEADERSHIP - NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT, but comparing a 1975, ARVN was alot weaker in 1972 but they managed to win Easter Offensive ( Chiến Dịch Xuân Hè by the VC), in April 30th, Br General Le Minh Dao held Xuan Loc for 12 consecutive days. It was a feat in itself!
On April 30th 1975, South Vietnam fell into the hands of the Communists from the North. Countless Southerners from various backgrounds were being herded into concentration camps. The author was one of them.
"I MUST LIVE!" was the loudest scream I had ever made, which activated my survival instinct when I was tortured to the point of death. Thanks to these three words, I was able to survive in order to recount the painful and horrifying experiences to share with the readers. It was a type of experience that the readers could not possess and no one wished to have.
In short, this is my experience: HUMAN COMPASSION HAS ITS LIMITS, BUT HUMAN EVIL IS BOUNDLESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT EVIL IS INCITED AND INDOCTRINATED BY THE VIETNAMESE COMMUNIST REGIME.
I hope the book I MUST LIVE! will give readers a deep insight into the darkest side of life, at the same time as to realize that they are the most fortunate people on earth compared to the life of the author. Father Nguen huu Le.

When the French defeated and left Vietnam in 1954. The country divided into two partition states: North Vietnam is the communist and the South is Republic under Democracy government. So, let both side of Vietnam run their countries the way they want. The American participated in to assist by providing aids to South Vietnam to fight back the International Communist (that is Soviet Union and China). So, the US helped South Vietnam so long until 1973 and declared to withdraw cutting significant aids to South Vietnam. The let South Vietnam fight alone against North Vietnam (North Vietnam with the helps from Soviet and China)...and so those nations (US, Australia, Korea, Philippines, Thailand and the whole West) under Democracy running away. Sounds great, huh? Ultimately, the citizens of the Republic of South Vietnam collapsed and its people stranded and faced the consequences of all cost: jails, rapes, rootings, refugees, death, poor, loss....You name it. Why the West entered the war rather let South Vietnam taking care of their country from the beginning, so they didn't depend on the West? You promised and ran away from this war.

South Vietnam is democratic? hahahah sure buddy
@@GloryToVietnam South Vietnam before 1975 was just a puppet regime set up by the US hahahaha
They didn't promise to be in a forever war. I guess you are forgeting that the US had 58,000 soldiers killed in Vietnam. They had already lost over 30,000 troops to hold South Korea less than two decades prior as well. It's hard to sell tens of thousands of your own soldiers dying half a world away for people you don't really know or share much with culturally. The US also isn't a dictatorship. So every 4 years public opionion can change etc.
Also, the US didn't lose a single major battle in Vietnam. The issue was they were not going to invade and occupy the North. So they opted to instead fund the south and provide aid. Unless the world was ok with the US taking control and dominating the entirety of North Vietnam, it was pointless.
The saddest part? The US won anyways. Communsim in Russia, China, and Vietnam all collapsed in the 80s. Now all 3 are primarily capitalist countries and all attached to the US and Western Europe for economic success. The war didnt even need to happen.
@@GloryToVietnamthe fact that you have Soviet in your name discredits you from any criticism of South Vietnamese politics. While South Vietnam did have its problems, it was a very new democracy and was at least more democratic than the North and had multiple parties and vibrant debate, and was making improvements year by year. The North remains an entrenched single party authoritarian tyranny.
South Vietnam fell, because the government was terrorising its own people, didnt have a day of stable government after Diems death and had no other public support.
The South Vietnamese military was in the Top 10 of militaries worldwide, both in manpower and equipment.
The Southern Regime didnt lose because the US abandoned them, the Southern Regime lost because it was nothing to fight for.
vietnam is a fascist state
Little do Vietnamese people in Vietnam today realize that the Southern way of life ended up winning in the end, the North basically fought for nothing. South Vietnam was already free since 1955 effectively, and had managed their own affairs.

There’s a point we should all notice: After the U.S. stopped aid for South Vietnam, they didn’t have enough capabilities to fight anymore. That means they depended on the U.S.-which is an outsider-to protect themselves.
Objectively, war (or politics in general) isn’t a game of right or wrong; it’s the game of winners and losers, and the winner is considered the right side. So, if South Vietnam couldn’t fight by themselves, they didn’t deserve to win. That’s it.
P.S.:
- I'm Vietnamese, living in Vietnam right now, my grandfather was a government official in South Vietnam. Even thought I tried to be objective, I know my opinion may offends some of you.

Well the same could be said about the north to be honest. Last time I checked, the rifle most commonly associated/used by them (the AK-47) wasn’t a weapon created by them… the north won because they were being backed and supplied by 2 of the biggest communist states of the time (Russia and china) that didn’t care about how much they were spending to fuel their communist cousin’s war effort. America’s people on the other hand did have a say in the matter with how much they we’re spending on it’s capitalist cousin, though unfortunately it would result in the south losing.
And Hanoi depended Moscow and Beijing. The North Vietnamese leaders lied and broke the Paris Peace Accords when the war was thought to be over. The Communists lied (which they always do) reneged on the agreement and invaded South Vietnam.
North Vietnam depended on fuel and ammunition from China and Soviet Union, your comment is just hypocritical. ALL of Vietnam whether North or South does not have the economy or capacity to fuel a war on its own.

My dad was member of The South VN Army's Paratrooper Division's 204 Military Police was died by The North communist regime's revenge on all over both military members and civil officials for the South Republic Vietnam. The North VN communist regime died for a rogue, unrealistic theory against The South Republic Vietnam's just, freedom, democratic, peaceful and prosperous cause..
I wish Mr Be and his family well being and prosperity on the Loving Australia nation.

The South was more of a dictatorship than the North...
🤣🤣🤣 you didn't talk about the imperialism dividing creating conflict by US
prosperous??? Don't make us laugh=))) Those who can ran away to USA, Australia are the rich people wich are politicians,businessmen,...,and the people got left behind just cannot afford thousand dollars for the US to take them away, cause they are too poor and got nothing else to lost.. And the richs always have a close relationship with the Government and the US , that's why they hate us, because we took everything from them. We took away their rich life that was built by the US's dollar, a fake prosperous in Saigon or just the 1 district in HCM city nowaday.

Well this guy is feeling sympathetic to allied invaders aiding an empire in promulgating its liberalism in a country half a globe away. The report also stated that the Paris Accords were supposed to end the fighting. It was true, but it was the Republic of Vietnam who continued to wage war in hopes of regaining American trust and aid.
Welp, this is just the perspective from a minority of South vet, majority of them after being re-educated sent back home, and in 1978 a lot of them re-enlisted into army to fight Khmer Rogue
Except for the re education camp, then that’s a good thing

There’s nothing so precious as independence and freedom. The residents of Republic of Vietnam was not wrong, all people want their country to be independence and freedom but they have to know what actually benefit for the long period and development of Vietnam
Vietnam war reminds me of my people from Burma experience and it was very similar in the same way. During 1994s, the KNLA soldiers split into two groups and one group of soldiers were separated from the community and created by the communist regime and then they called themselves “DKBA” and they were attacks against their own people and became a communist alliance. The Burmese regime was very excited about the group of soldiers (KNLA) who were split up into two groups and fought with each others.

stupid. Do you know how many people the communists killed? During the land reform, they also killed their own people, so is it strange that people think the communists will kill the people of the South?
They're all the traitors of our people. In the past, they're the slaves of French, all the generals of Rep of Vietnam were in Indochina French army. After 1954, they continued becoming slaves of American. They always said that Vietkong will kill them all, but no one died in the place they called "communist prison". Nowaday, they're still telling the worse thing about Vietnam. Ignore them, they're just the traitors and losers

It's your choice to believe in them. But let me tell you lots of them are extremists. They are common to hold grudges against the North Vietnamese and often badmouth a lot.
After the French was defeated the country was set to vote for Ho Chi Minh or Ngo Dinh Diem as president and reunite the country. Ngo knew he would lose against HCM so with the US support he decided to power grab by breaking the Geneva treaty signed by the South masters French. Vietnam was never 2 parts so HCM fought the South VN to liberate and reunite Vietnam 🇻🇳 as one
Blatant communist lie! It was France and China that came up with the Geneva Accord of 1954 to divide Viet Nam into 2 halves separated by the 17th parallel: the North for Communists, and the South for Nationalists.
And these idiots have the nerve to say that North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam when the us literally meddled in their election just install a puppet leader who was an unpopular leader that most people didn't even want.
HCM was no liberator. He was a ruthless dictator who believed and convinced everyone that communism could solve all the problems they were facing. And yes, Vietnam was two parts South Vietnam was a country at one point.
@ similar rhetoric was said by the puppet South Vietnam. Both the masters French and Americans abandoned South VN
@@4klense I agree that America abandoned SVN but my original thoughts still stand. It’s also just an opinion no hate ofc!♥️
If you talk or brag like that about our Vietnam's re-education program, then look at the prisons of the Republic of Vietnam. There, Communist prisoners of war were brutally tortured and treated disgustingly, shot to death without mercy. Before accusing others, look back at what you have done to them. But can you confirm the information you gave? In other countries, prisoners of war on the losing side will be shot. For example, in France after WW2, people who followed the Vichy government were all killed. In Korea after WW2, those who collaborated with the Japanese fascists were also shot. Only 1/10 of your soldiers go to re-education camp and the rest integrate into society. The people who go to re-education camps are only high-ranking commanders of your government.
Based on the comments I read at the time of writing, here are my thoughts of the war, both mainstream, and sources from people in the south. Have fun reading.
"The US originally 'invaded' Vietnam" -> This is commonly taught to everyone in Vietnam post '75. However, South Vietnam (RVN) was created by the co-operation of the new southern government (successors of the final Emperor of Vietnam + a French handover of leadership) with the US (the "liberators" and French's successor that want to kick out the French but don't want to leave due to communism).
South Vietnam's "illegitimacy" -> This ties in with the first. While the idea that the US prop up a "puppet state" in the South spread after '75, the same can be said to the north. The southern government at least have the lineage date back to the Nguyen dynasty (the final dynasty in Vietnam). The flag is also a final version from the previous dynasty's flag (yellow flag with red circle) with a mix of the history of the French colonial era (white flag with 2 blue stripes). The northern flag have little source to prove its lineage. Official the red and yellow star is a new creation after the formation of the new northern government in '45. But other sources cites the appearance of the red flag from southern China. The flag was seen moving to Vietnam when the Kuomintang liberation force cross the border to arrive at Hanoi. Couple this with photo evidences of South VN's flag hanged around Hanoi post '45, and the way communist parties work (there is no such thing as nations in socialism; they are part of the larger sphere of influence), there can be a legitimate case to say the Soviet and China "prop up" the northern government. Both government were legit, and both were heavily influenced during the entire war.
US soldiers' brutality -> There are videos of US soldiers in villages and cities everywhere. But rarely any photos from soldiers in the north. They are infamous for scaring and disguising among southern civilians, which make it difficult for southern and US soldiers to advance (these gorilla tactics are reveal by northern soldiers after the war). War is always brutal. But the south have freedom of press that allowed quick communication from the frontline to the media back in the US. Effectively dooming the support for the war.
Agent Orange -> Real effects or false claims. Look for correlation between the agent and people, vs the agent for plants. They work on plants, but their effects on people are mostly on presumptions. The US still allocate money for the recovery effort, which is good regardless (because whether the correlation is real, the civilians still need help). There is little mention of food rations, many are full with unknown preservatives, that were supplied from China to the same regions where agent orange were presumably used. These rations are not tested, and where delivered straight to people in poorer central regions. There is a sharp difference in the number of cases where people were affected by agent orange, with central regions affected the most. It's also strange that the central region were where supplies from the north arrived into the most; and many cases of agent orange are people in families that have contacted to north Vietnamese soldiers.
There are a lot more. You can start looking into them. English sources are limited but you can also translate the Vietnamese articles from both mainland Vietnam and overseas for further information. Try to authenticate and explore these:
- Origins of Ho Chi Minh (this guy have evidences that he were born in China; the where able the original person Nguyen Ai Quoc after he left Vietnam is unknown)
- The naming of Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam. This re-enforced the claim above. Throughout history, the last name was used when referring to the dynasty, while the middle and first name was for normal naming. (Nguyen dynasty. Emperor Nguyen Phuc (Bao Dai), Tran dynasty, Emperor Tran Thanh Tong. Or the famous general Giap (Vo Nguyen Giap)). No one called other as their last name. But Ho Chi Minh was always referred to as 'uncle Ho', not 'uncle Minh'
- Claims of corruptions in the south from the north and US reporters. Locate their sources (for example, every government will have some form of small corruptions. But the north claimed that the failure of controlling corruption is one of the main causes of the south's collapse. In the mean time, the final president of RVN have a friendly policy with the north, and the former prime minister of RVN - Nguyen Cao Ky, fled Vietnam, and become friendly with the new government again. Soldiers in the rank have family members in the north army. Some even provide money to support the war and to get a good pardon afterward. There were traitors left and right in the southern chain of command that 'corruption' was the least of their worries.
- Interesting story: Former president Nguyen Van Thieu and the 'missing' 16 tons of gold 'fiasco'. The legitimacy of the accusations. (fun fact, the gold were still in the country, yet people escaped Vietnam were still accusing Thieu of shipping them to the US in a few 'luggage bags')
- Lasting consequences of the socialist reforms from '75 to '86 (that's why Vietnamese currency have so many 00000)
- Southern liberation front: A socialist government yet more friendly to the west. Working in tandem with the north for years to liberate the south, dissolved a month after reunification.
Pol-Pot: The leader guy were buddies with Mao and Ho for years. Until he went rogue and decimate Cambodia. Then invade Vietnam in '78, in which Vietnam have to occupy Cambodia for nearly a decade.

Sir. My grandfather also served South Vietnam as a truck driver. However, he realized the truth and stayed at Saigon at the day of reunification. And unlike your "story" up there, my grandfather willingly accepted reforming and were allowed to go home after 3 days. And then....he lived happily under this very flag 🇻🇳. His son was 10 at that time. And yes, that boy would then become father of me & my little brother. None of us got to suffer any animosity because of my grandfather's history. Heck, my maternal side of family have elders serving North Vietnam. Yet none of...i repeat...NONE of them showed any disgust to my grandfather. We Vietnamese have one thing in common: Forgiveness. We did so to Nguyễn Cao Kỳ & Dương Văn Minh. So please. Stop spreading lie about North Vietnam & Vietcong. The truth is the truth. You walked away from your birthplace.
ông bạn Bắc Kỳ nên nó thế.
If your grandfather had of been an infantry soldier in the Airborne or Marine Divisions, I can guarantee you 101% the VC would not of let him go home after three days and "forgiven everything". The VC divided their southern "enemies" into different categories, while a truck driver with a willingness to accept the new bosses may of gotten off lightly. Many many soldiers of the ARVN were not so fortunate, and their "crime" (and the crime of their descendants) fighting to keep their beloved country free from communism.
@@RS-rj5sh then 101% of your words are loath of crap, man. Because I, as well as many many VIETNAMESE, am fully aware that many made-up stories exist to discredit what North Vietnam & Vietcong soldiers did for Saigon. They can exist as much as they want.....because we have every right to consider them bullshits.
Also, Many ARVN soldiers (the ones that stayed after April 30, 1975) at that time were treated fairly as long as they had no offensice intention. Some of them even willingly joined in the battle against Khmer Rogue.
@@RS-rj5sh also. South Vietnam was only a country because they got support from America. We will never accept that fukkin flag with red stripes. Until our death.

Any regime has its dark sides, and I do not completely deny the dark sides of the VC, but it's funny when the soldiers of the Republic of Vietnam talk about how they were treated when they went ideological re-education, that is only a small part compared to what VC had to endure, typically Phu Loi prison, you guys can search on gg for more =) It's clear that the crimes of the Republic of Vietnam are uncountable. You guys just made this video and exclaimed: "Oh, the VC are so cruel", but do you dare to brag about your achievements? Typical example is Ngo Dinh Diem's guillotine :)
yeah but he was overthrown in a coup by the army.

It was really a mixed bag, ARVN towards 1975 was 80% combat effective compared to 1963 25% combat effective.
@@pudanielson1 The ARVN of 1975 was a lot more capable than the one of even the late 1960's. However they were trained in the US style, dependent on air mobility and technology, quiet different to the northern PAVN. When that air capability and technological advantage collapsed in 1975 due to the withdrawal of US support, the ARVN collapsed.
Sounds like Ukraine
Same thing. The usual Americans will leave out any Ukrainians who died while saying America lost none. Count on it. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese died fighting for America and the common American boasts leaves those South Vietnamese out of the kill count when they were fighting and putting effort into the fight. They boast about only American losses. That’s pride and hatred. For the Vietnamese They never cared about you and were never your friends.
