As a Marine during the 1960's I often heard comments about how Marines were nothing but animals, etc. When people like Captain Yoshida tell of their experiences it often reflects on the humanity of those who served both in times of War and in times of Peace. I have always been proud of having served as a US Marine and hearing Captain Yoshida's recounting of his experiences only serve to reinforce this sense of pride. Thank you Captain Yoshida. Semper Fi.

Everything was still segregated and racism was more open. Surprised they only were sent to camps and not simply wiped out. What Yoshida did IS WHAT AN HONORABLE MAN WOULD DO. Despite everything that happened he still put his life on the line, stayed loyal to the flag, and led his FELLOW Americans into battle in the firestorm of HELL that was Vietnam. Yoshida is everything an American should be. Don’t you dare denigrate it.

Exceptional interview. Captain Yoshida impresses me with his forthright honesty, particularly where he is critical of some of the decisions he made, such as "holding some water back" for his own use rather than giving all his water to another Marine. I served in the Navy in 1970-1971. I was a hospital corpsman. I have the greatest respect for every Marine I have ever personally known. Captain Yoshida seems to be extra-special, something I suspect he himself would deny. Semper Fidelis to both of you. And keep up the great work. Hopefully Captain Yoshida is and will continue to enjoy his retirement. Andy McKane, Molokai, Hawaii.

Like you Herbert I see hatred towards others only brings bitterness and self hate and no inner peace I experienced this as a child from a parent Respect like you hatred is a wasted energy. I've think what you have done for those who died or were injured in Vietnam what a kind thing to do is to write to each ones family and love ones. As I have never been in the military but have learnt from others from reading their stories from WW2 and my exs grandmother living in the blitz in London and the fear, of the bombing raids and the bravery and courage of those who failught lived and died in combat. I listened to a holocaust survivor from New York who told his powerful story about the death camps and death march to Germany, telling his children to educate them but also educating all of us. Thank you for your humility and humanity for your soldiers who fought with you on the battle field you just gave such a view point of what it was like in combat and helping another human being your story is full of humanity. I forgive those who have hurt me accept my ex I'm sorry you've been through so much and suffered with PTSD thank you again Lyn 😀💜🙏

His Vietnam "story" is the same as all the others. He did not belong in Vietnam. It was not his fight. It was an Asian civil war for independence after decades of colonialism. His time in Vietnam did absolutely nothing for American safety, security and freedom. He was an invader and aggressor in Vietnam....a country that did nothing to Americans and the US. He was nothing more than a chump & pawn of the US Government and its wrong imperialistic foreign policy. He helped enable that policy to bring pain, loss and waste to the American people for 10 years. I'm a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. Prove me wrong

Yeah no. I’m glad you have the opportunity to speak your mind, but the reason you do is because airmen, soldiers, marines & sailors have fought for those rights. Given the situation with communism in Asia in the 60’s we we obligated as a country to resist the attempted communist takeover of South Vietnam. Different Cold War clashes ended differently, Korea was a stalemate, and Vietnam was widely regarded as a loss. What we did accomplish however was make it very expensive and difficult for the NVA and the Chinese to try to take over the south. The Berlin Wall coming down in 1989 and the end of the USSR in 1991 proved that we were right to have opposed communism.

Sorry, no disrespect intended but you're feeding me propaganda and Kool Aid. I cannot....and will not...accept the line that those wars since WW2 have given me an opportunity to "speak my mind". You connecting those "dots" so foolishly is what makes America dangerous. I am 100% in support of having the best nuclear deterrence possible as well as the best military on the planet...and the $$$ cost of maintaining that. After that, I get off the wagon with you. The best offense is having the best defense. All these wars since the end of WW2 didn't do shit for my freedom & security.... or yours. That's not being political...that's being rational, logical and based in reality. And to top it off...this country doesn't have the common sense of recognizing the REAL threat to American safety and security....our own southern border. That, in itself, illustrates the utter foolishness of what you are propagating. Invading and securing Mexico would have had 10 times more genuine value for American safety and security than ALL the BS wars the US has engaged in... put together... since the end of WW2.

@@thomasfx3190 Yeah no the war wasn't really about communism. They didn't need us to stop communism; they could've done it themselves. And I can’t help wondering how different Vietnam would be right now if America under Truman had done the morally correct thing! Again, Vietnam didn't have to be communist. It could've been independent and democratic without a war we had helped them become independent right after WW2 then the whole Vietnam war would've been avoided. You see, at the end of WWII Ho Chi Minh came to Truman and asked for his support in seeking Vietnamese independence from the French, and Truman basically brushed him off to support the French in their occupation! And it’s not like Ho Chi Minh just played Truman one visit and then went to Moscow! No, he really respected America and in fact he modeled the Vietnamese declaration of independence directly on the American one, so he sent Truman numerous letters, which Truman chose to ignore in favor of supporting the French! Ok, France was our friend and all who backed our bid for independence, I get that, but France was wrong on this! And we as a self-proclaimed champion of freedom and justice were morally obligated to support the Vietnamese in their quest for independence and freedom! But it gets worse than all that. We turned our backs on the morally correct until Ho Chi Minh got support from the soviets! Then we decided to get involved on the premise that if South Vietnam fell to communism, then all of southeast Asia would follow! But as you can see, after we left and all of Vietnam became communist, that did not happen! So basically 58,000 Americans and several million Vietnamese died for nothing! To me that makes it the worse war! And I can’t help wondering how different Vietnam would be right now if America under Truman had done the morally correct thing! Also, many South Vietnamese felt they could've fought the war themselves without U.S. interference. Now I'm no fan of communism but it's none of our business whether Vietnam is communist or not. Besides, the South Vietnamese felt that they could fight the war themselves without American interference. All they needed was supplies and moral support, nothing more. As one former South Vietnamese officer stated, " We fought for our country with our best,” Vo said. “We didn’t need the Americans to do our job for us. We didn’t need the American GIs to come and fight for us. We needed money, supplies and international support.” And here's my source. www.mercurynews.com/2017/09/29/veterans-angry-disappointed-following-pbs-vietnam-war-documentary/
