Deadly Ambush in the Vietnam War

Bob Martin enlisted in the Army in 1963, did four tours in Vietnam, earned a Silver Star, three Purple Hearts, a Bronze Star with “V”; survived combat operations with the 1st Cavalry Division in 1965, a stint walking point with a recon platoon in the 101st Airborne Division, a period advising with Special Forces, and numerous search-and-destroy missions with the 173rd Airborne. After the war, he stayed in the Army and retired in 1983.

In the beginning of my tour, I was an M-60 gunner. I loved my gun. I could shoot through trees. During an advance up a mountain I carried it like a rifle with a hundred round assault bag. I was strong then...Airborne All the Way.

Fighting in a jungle where there's traps everywhere and the enemies are hiding is wild.

They probly didn't see you but they sure as hell probly heard you. Machine gunners are often highly targeted on the battlefield

This is exactly the reason why I don’t carry an automatic pistol for Protection.

When I pull the trigger on my revolver, it goes bang.

When I think of pulling the trigger on a semi automatic, there is always the concern, “I hope it doesn’t jam.“

Of course automatic have improved a lot over the years and there are a lot fewer jams. But it doesn’t matter if it’s in one chance in 10 of jamming or one chance in 1000 of jamming, I don’t want that one chance in 1000.

that’s just one old man’s opinion.

[nomorelies]

Thats not something you should dwell on in war you cant worry about that

[lethalexponent]

Sad part is im sure they we're good guys if you got to know them

[AntonioM-vn]

Weird algorithm. The video before this one, marine picking up weapons from dead enemies because he ran out of ammo after his men were ambushed. Now this video same thing...smh and of course on labor day

[jackmewhalle]

My first thought. Will it malfunction or is it even loaded.

[Kevin-zktt]

Well they seen U as they were floating away, , ⁉️‼️🇺🇸

[brendanwong]

You can be sure that their souls are watching him every night

I'm a patriot don't get me wrong
But I don't like the term bad guys.. sounds like a cop. They are simply the enemy. They weren't Nazis
