We sided with the Americans and let them use our airbases while the CIA funneled millions into propping up the image of the royal institution just as it was on its way out because they (ironically) thought democracy would lead to communism just like they did with Iran, which if you'll remember led to propping up the shah who was then replaced with Islamic theocracy

Why are you so anti-China senpai? When I went to Vietnam a few months ago, you guys were suprisingly anti-China and very surpisingly, quite pro-American. You loved Aussies as well. I mean, you have the same system of government as China, and may or may not have a similar culture. Could you explain please.

>>53311694

Chinese people are considered as the jew of the east, no one in Asia like China other than themselves, Pakistan and Cambodia(those two just like money from China). Vietnam was right next to China so we're the one knew them best and of course, also the one suffer most from their jew behavior.

Just look at Vietnam's history, never China leaves us alone. China alway wants to make Vietnam become a state of them, look at their fucking flag, fuck chinks.

"I'd rather eat the French dung for a hundred years than the Chinese dung for a thousand years."

"If the Chinese come again, they will never leave. The last time they came, they stayed a thousand years."

Believe me when I say the VW had a very significant effect on the US military and the State Department that's still felt today. It's been an informal thing in Washington that a repeat of the last helicopter out of Saigon can never be allowed to happen again.

My dad was very nearly conscripted into the war. When he was called up for the lottery, the two birth dates either side of his were called and needless to say that up until that point he was shitting bricks. Given how fucked up a lot of Vietnam vets ended up, I'm really glad he wasn't sent over there.

>>53312924
Funny that in the end people now start pro-American because China.
And they still like Russia because Russia keep gave us Ship.

>>53313194
Hanoi never had any real beef with the US; in fact Ho Chi Minh was quite the Americaboo. They've always regarded China as the real problem for them.

Sent medics to assist the vietnamese civilians. Coincidentally the exact same thing we did in korea, afghanistan and iraq. Americans hate us.

>>53313237
You forgot selling your SMGs to american army

>>53313263
Irrelevant, we sell weapons to everyone. That's not really a crime.

>>53313290
This is not a crime but it's a thread about any kind of involvement in Vietnam war.

>>53312895
I read a book about the Vietnamese air force, pretty interesting read. Supposedly they were initially such bad students, that on navigation trainings over Hungary they'd get lost without contact and Russian instructors would have to contact numerous bases to find their lost apprentices

but it's amazing, that a force that started with no experience and two small prop planes (one without wings) evolved quite rapidly into a formidable force.

funfact: during the MiG-15/17 period, the VPAF lost pretty much as many planes to friendly AAA fire as to enemy fighters

>>53313367
That's true, I believe we also sent over immigrants to America a century prior, so technically that means Sweden started and lost the war.

There was a really fucked up australian vietnam vet who lived in Norway. I heard about him from some oldfag colleagues at work. He worked in the construction business here.
First of all he was a tunnel rat, which probably gave him all kinds of PTSD. But he had also dabbled in drugs. He was pretty calm when he was sober or only drinking beer, but totally crazy if he got liquor.

One time he was in a restaurant and saw some ladies eating by their own table. So he got down on the floor and crawled over on his stomach and took a bite out of a womans leg. People got out of the restaurant, the police came to take him and when they came he was sitting at their table eating their food with blood around his mouth.
Then he just shot himself eventually. What a madman.

That's the sort of stuff I'm talking about. I couldn't even fully picture what my family life and my relationship with my dad would have been like if he'd had to endure that kind of shit. I've seen a few documentaries where they talk to vets about how their family lives were ripped to pieces once they return from war and it made me really appreciate what I had.

Giving free arms to Vietcong

>>53313792
>All thank to the Russia, desu
undoubtedly, but eventually, you developed aces of your own, I remember there was a core group of circa ten pilots who were trained as instructors to school new pilots and they were quite successful themselves.

There were negotiations right after the end of WW2 for the independence of indochina. but it's the lack of consensus between ho chi minh and the french that turned it into a war. prolly because the french didn't want a commie vietnam.

I also visted the the country side and some battle fields around HCM which were quite nice

Believe me you will. I recall that a Russian on here said "I'm pretty sure all Chinese minorities in Russia are merchants. I've never seen them do anything else."

>>53315280
Vietnam hasn't been exposed to Western influence very long, only since economic reforms in the late 80s. English knowledge is not widespread, you'll find a lot more people who know Russian, especially if they're over 40.

Despite the infamous history of the Vietnam War, Vietnam today is one of the most pro-American countries in Southeast Asia,[1][2][3] with 78% of Vietnamese people viewing the U.S. favorably in 2015.

Why are people saying the Americans did a bad job? They absolutely crushed so many Vietnamese, it was just that they pulled out too soon.

It is a not-too well guarded fact that the US government has never liked Vietnam vets and can't wait for them to all die off. They're seen as losers who lost a war and embarrassed the government and the military. However, they now comprise the biggest group of veterans in America since most of the WWII guys have passed on.

>>53315708
>Did....did we win?
In that sense yes. Also the remaining 22% unfavorable are probably old people who still have a chip on their shoulder (maybe shrapnel in their leg, missing eyeball, limb, etc).

My cousin was in the Gulf War and he said that probably most of the officers in the army at the time were not Vietnam vets. Some were, but most weren't. After 1973, the military really went out of their way to purge anyone associated with that war.

It's not because we don't have a draft army anymore. About 50,000 servicemen were killed or wounded in Vietnam 1965-72. The total figure for Iraq 2003-10 was about 3000 servicemen. Of course the training and medical care are leagues better now anyway.

>In June 2013, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said in a speech at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore that he would welcome the U.S. playing a larger role in tempering regional tensions, as China and some of its Southeast Asian neighbors remain deadlocked over competing territorial claims in the South China Sea - "No regional country would oppose the strategic engagement of extra-regional powers if such engagement aims to enhance cooperation for peace, stability and development. We attach special importance to the roles played by a vigorously rising China and by the United States — a Pacific power."

I have a neighbour who was in the war pretty much from beginning to end, acted as warrant officer. Somehow he's still a pretty normal person, even has talked about it once or twice.
