This was part of operation Apache Snow, which was in the Ash Shaw valley a major NVA supply route. I was with Marine infantry 2/9 in the valley at the same time. We didn't get the call but the 101st Screaming Eagles did. This was a complete waste of young men's lives for no strategic purpose. About a month later the Army unit just abandoned the hill & gave it back to the NVA. Total BS, I feel sorry for the men who died and were permanently damaged both physically and mentally. It just boiled down to an adult game of "king of the mountain". Such a crying shame and just another bankers war which continue till this day

0:12 The enemy is so cruel, this poor soldier was not only killed but his head was cut off, soldiers, the most tragic group of brave men on the battlefield. 0:36 I thought the wounded soldier would survive until I saw the grenade, and it seems he probably... 0:46 What a tragic attack, the soldiers on both sides did not know if they would survive until the next minute. 1:36 What's the matter with you? Let your comrades be attacked by your helicopters? 1:46~2:14 It's so tragic! so tragic! Not killed by the enemy but by their army! 2:39 Another tragic attack, what a terrible price these brave men have paid to take down this hill. It's a awesome video mate! Thank you for uploading and looking forward to your new videos!

One of my favorite war movies. Gritty, realistic, and brutally honest about the savagery displayed on both sides. I will never forget that grunt that came from deep in the shot soldier's gut at 1:23. Hauntingly sad yet tremendously erotic at the same time. This movie could just as easily been called Hamburger HELL.

Good movie. One of the phew Vietnam movies to show the SKS for the NVA side (we were soldiers too). Although the SKS was invented in WW2, really gained its reputation in Vietnam and other South East Asia conflicts. Outdated in this time period but rugged, reliable, combat accurate, and shoots the potinent 7.62X39

How does the North Vietnamese Army attacking in South Vietnam be "defensive". If the NVA/PAVN was defending North of the Ben Hai River/17th parallel that would be "defensive". As soon as they entered the Republic of Vietnam your VC were "fair game" 😬

The truth about the Vietnam War that was never told fully told to Americans peoples United States had No intention of winning the Vietnam War from the very beginning. Fear it might become like the Korean War with mass continuing Communist Chinese troops from China pouring against American military force in Vietnam. And the threat of a thermal nuclear War with the Soviet Union. Why the Vietnam War was never officially declare but only as US military action. The Vietnam War started during the Civil Rights movement and racial tension between whites and blacks all across America. Several members in the US government were segregationist and they had their eyes dumping their Blacks problem on Vietnam with the chaos that was happening in Vietnam at that time between Communist North Vietnam and South Vietnam. At that time, the South Vietnamese had 250,000 troops and North Vietnamese had 60,000 troops and the DMZ line had already been establish at the 17th parallel. Many Vietnamese peoples from both North and South did Not support going to War and killing each other over the idea of Communist. Even though several North and South Vietnamese leaders believe Vietnam should Not be divided and try to distrupt one another. But they couldn't rally enough support among the Vietnamese peoples in Vietnam to support going to War. Until Nov. 2, 1963 When JF Kennedy and LB Johnson order his CIA to stage a military coup assasination on a catholic South Vietnamese President, Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. This give America the power to do what ever they want to Vietnam and to the Vietnamese peoples. And they appointed an ex-Vietminh soldiers for Ho Chi Minh, Nguyễn Văn Thiệu as their puppet South Vietnamese President. The South Vietnamese President who cause the lives of 500,000 South Vietnamese troops killed or capture by the North Vietnamese army and their communist allies The Pathet Lao army, and the Communist Khmer Rouge army of Cambodia when he order them to be station and patrol in Kampuchea. And who told Nguyễn Văn Thiệu to do so? The United States, fear more Americans troops will be killed in Kampuchea. 20 days after the military coup assassination of South Vietnamese President Ngô Đình Diệm and his young brother Ngô Đình Nhu. US President JF Kennedy was assasinated in Dallas, TX on Nov 22, 1963 and LB Johnson was sworn in as the 36th US President. On Aug 10, 1964, US President LB Johnson declare US military action to Vietnam over an alleged attack on a US destroyer, Maddox that was on patrol past the 17th parallel near Hanoi, the capital of North Vietnam. While supporting the South Vietnam. 500,000 US ground troops was sent to fight in Vietnam. 40% of those US troops that were sent to fight in Vietnam were adult blacks male along with high school drop out white male, non-college white male, trouble teen white male, and white convict male were all sent to fight in Vietnam. And when these US troops arrive in Vietnam and they did their "Search and Destroyed mission." The Communist North Vietnam gain mass support for their cause and their army grew from 60,000 troops to over 1,000,000 troops. In 1975, the Democrats control congress cuts off funds to all US promise military aids to South Vietnam causing the Fall of Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. Thus began a mass flow of Vietnamese refugee fleeing out of Vietnam. 10 of thousands of Vietnamese refugee died at sea from hunger, thirst, illness, Thai pirates, and Chinese warships. Today over 100's of thousands young South Vietnamese childrens are born of birth defect from the US toxic biological chemical, Agent Orange which the US military spray all over rivers and forest of South Vietnam. 3,000,000 innocent Vietnamese civilians of women, childrens, and old peoples had to die in their country during the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War is the worse United States War Crime in history. From Truman, JF Kennedy and LB Johnson were all were WWI and WWII veteran who sent the next young American men to become killers. Why I post this is because for years I'm tired Americans use Vietnam War as a Propaganda War story. Telling peoples that they there to help South Vietnam fight against communist North Vietnam. When America is the root cause of the Vietnam War and the downfall of South Vietnam.
