Why You Wouldn’t Want to be a Vietnam War Soldier 🤕 #shorts

My father went to Vietnam. While there, he and my mother wrote letters back and forth. They loved each other and wanted to be together. When he came home, they got married. Soon, I was born. 9 mo. later, my dad was murdered right here in America.(at a dairy queen) while going to call the police to report a car accident.

The way we treated our Vietnam veterans was absolutely heartbreaking and Despicable

Agent Orange sounds dystopian, and that mosquito gave me the chills man. The whole war was so dumb, and so many people died for nothing. The lottery draft concept was creepy as well. Just watching live, hoping you don't get drafted. I'm glad i didn't grow up back then and have to experience the horrors of Vietnam.

What's so heart breaking about this war is that you were hated by both the enemy and home.

Americans that died in Vietnam, may God bless you.

My Uncle went to Vietnam. When he was there he survived all but one thing, agent orange poisoning. He died in 2015 because of it. I miss you uncle, and may you rest in peace. 😔

My grandpa was in Vietnam.
Luckily he was only injured once by shrapnel from a landmine.
However he did lose a lot of friends there.

As a certified southern Vietnamese child with experience I must say that if you ever go to vietnam for a hike just be careful since there are still traps and landmines

my English teacher in high school lost his collar bone to agent orange, and I think it was either his brother or a cousin lost their lives to their exposure to it

If you see a Vietnam veteran, tell them welcome home and thank you. They never got it.
If you want to be mad at the politics behind the fighting be mad at the politicians not the boys that got drafted.

The pain my Vietnamese ancestors went through, they survived the war and continued the generations of our family, I am really thankful that the Americans helped my ancestors.

My uncle VOLUNTEERED to go to Nam. On his first tour, he was shot 3 times (twice in the chest) by a sniper in an urban setting. He said everytime his heart would beat, a gush of blood would shoot out several feet from his chest. He said he thought he was as good as dead. But he survived, healed up in a military hospital for a couple of months, and then went BACK OUT for a SECOND TOUR! It was during his second tour that he stepped on a landmine. It blew him into a big culvert pipe (with his legs stuck up behind his head)... It tore his legs up SO bad, that they had to replace portions of the bones in BOTH of his legs, with actual sheep bones! He had scars so wide and deep, that a grown man could fit their open flattened hand down into them (like a karate chop). Not to mention that it blew half his di©k (and one of his testicles) off. So, he couldn't have kids after that. So him and aunt Jenny adopted a child when he came home since they always wanted kids so bad. He DID have a biological daughter before the war, but she was trampled by a horse when she was about 16 months old... He had a HARD LIFE! But I NEVER heard him complain, and he even walked everywhere he went (without a cane), even though the doctors told him he'd never walk again! He wobbled a little bit, but even the BADDEST of the "bad men" wouldn't fkkk with him! If someone from MY town even had a DREAM where they disrespected him, they'd WAKE THEMSELVES UP just to call him and apologize! When the Boogeyman went to sleep at night, he'd check under HIS bed just to make sure that uncle Frank wasn't there waiting for him! lol... I don't understand how everyone can think they've "got it so rough" these days! They don't know what TRUE hardship is!! So... "THANK YOU" for your service uncle Frank!! I love you, and miss you more than words could ever say! May you forever Rest in Peace with the other Angels of your kind!!🇺🇸❤️💯

People sometimes don’t understand the Vietnam war from a vietnamese perspective. Vietnam war veterans such as my Grandpa and his US friend both went to Vietnam but fought oppositely. They both hated how the US treated Vietnam leading it into their loss. My Grandpa’s friend said quote, “The lives of our friends lost, was not worth the war crimes we committed. We were forced to brutally murder their children in front of their parents.” The US itself was not having support for vietnam. Vietnam was a true terror for both US and citizens of Vietnam. Post Vietnam war Vietnam is still quite a bad place to be, inflation you don’t see nice things in the streets of vietnam, you see poor people using their living rooms as a restaurant. The US has caused a deep economic plunge to Vietnam that has affected us for years.

As a Vietnamese, i feel kinda bad for these veteran, but that's what we must do, to save our country. I understand that some of the veteran don't actually want to come there to fight, its because the government, the bad and corrupted government, started a stupid war for nothing, they kill tons of innocent people, spread agent orange, fire the whole forest, bombing our city, and after all of that, what they got?? NOTHING! We still win, our country finally can be unified, can into peace, and the American Government got a bunch of poor veterans that already very tired, and they treat them like a killer.
We not hate the American, we hate the bad American government

My grandpa was in the Vietnam war. He was the third person in line in the first person line stepped on a booby trap and a grenade went off so he turned around in the first two people died but he, his leg and stuff was like completely destroyed but he had to go on with the war and it was scary because the enemies could be walking in the trees. How thick the jungle is and also my grandpa had to be dropped down from a helicopter in a basket and it was scary because on his way up he was just like free to get shot by anything. Also, after the war he had nightmares every night about it and woke up every night and he had a drinking problem and he died from drinking because of the war

my mentor is a vietnam vet… he’s hardly mentioned it in the 5+ years I’ve known him. Who knows what he has been through
