Vietnam War, the Last Secrets

My uncle volunteer for the Marine Corps in 1966. He was hit by shrapnel from a mine and was left a paraplegic until he died in 2023. He lost the use of both legs, his right arm, and suffered an anoxic brain injury from dying several times on the operating table and his brain not getting enough oxygen. This war was totally pointless. And people still suffer from it to this day. Our government should be ashamed.

I served as a Marine infantry in Vietnam in 68-69.....Vietnam is a beautiful country and green as it can be...the people are very hard working in an agricultural society...they live in hooches with many generations in the same home ....they put a great emphasis on age and experience in life so the elderly are looked upon as resources and they are listened to for their resolution too problems that all farmers have worldwide....they are a tough people because they have been invaded and reinvaded for a couple hundred years...China,French,Japanese and the American have at one time or other been occupied Vietnam....they have kept their identity and now are now the fastest growing country in Asia.....wishing them success in their emerging as a nation....how can you you beat a people that refuse to be beaten

A wonderful documentary. As a Vietnamese, my grandpa and uncles sacrificed and lost their lives in this war. I was deeply moved watching this and extremely proud to be resilient Vietnamese 🇻🇳 . Hope for peace worldwide 🇻🇳✌️

Love Vietnam from Indonesian 🇮🇩❤️🇻🇳

I visited Ho Chi Min City (Saigon ) and nearly drop a tear when I was in the war museum.. I have a huge respect for Vietnamese people.. The resilience is unmatched!!!!!

I am from the UK. I have had the pleasure of visiting Vietnam on a number of occasions. One of our guides told us that he took a group of US veterans back to an area where they fought. They fell into conversation with some locals through him. It came about that they had been on opposite sides during one particular battle on a certain date. Amazing coincidence perhaps to just come across each other on the day they visited? A mutually respectable conversation took place, soldiers thrown into conflict, sharing their experiences. My wife and I love the country and the people.

Much respect for Vietnamese from Iraq 🇮🇶

My wife is Vietnamese-American. Her parents lived through the war, came to America. She’s tough as nails. They’re absolutely nuts, in a good way. Nobody will understand these people’s durability until you meet them and live with them up close. ❤️

Vietnamese are absolutely unbelievable strong people. And very dirigent. My big respect to them.

hi, i am Vietnamese, i love all people on the world

Love Vietnam from India. 🇮🇳❤❤🇲🇦

Coming back from Viet Nam was hell here in our country, I am an old man now at age 72, but the hell of Viet Nam never leaves my mind.. The hell and nightmares of that wasted war never goes away, from us vets. To all my BROTHERS OUT THERE..I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.

I served as a US Marine (5 Jan 1969-13 Aug 1970)--Through the years I have learned and taken a completely different perspective than what was presented to us back in that era. The prevailing ideology of that period is what it is and cannot be changed. I regret that so many lives on both sides were negatively affected, not only those who died, but those who were physically maimed and mentally traumatized for life. I feel as much anguish for those we fought against as I do for those who fought with us and have the same respect for all.

An agricultural chemical company based in New Plymouth North Island of New Zealand on the west coast of New Zealand produced Agent Orange for the US Government. The company also dumped lots of 44 gallon drums of the chemical in and around New Plymouth. The family that owned that company are totally responsible for the environmental impact on Vietnam but also the birth of vietnamese children without arms legs and so on. Crimes of humanity of the worst kind. I have been to Vietnam and witnessed myself the devastation of the environment where Agent Orange was dropped nothing grows there anymore. I have seen adults without limbs and young children that are still affected by Agent Orange.

I arrived in Vietnam in the summer of '68. In my 32 years of life, I've never met a people like the Vietnamese.

What makes a nation unstoppable is its people being United. They would've never gave up, they would've fought to the last.
