Why don't you write a script then?

Then start a /k/ickstarter project and fund it.

Be the change you want to see, Anon.

Don't even start with these excuses Anon, just do it!

>>3297618
depends entirely on how you frame it

>>3297618
Make American officers and politicians all white. Make American soldiers black and show them as being opressed by the racist white American officers. Make black soldiers sympathise with the poor Vietnamese farmers that are being exploited by the rising South Vietnamese capitalists. Now people will want to see Charlie crush the American invasion.

The top scoring ace during the Vietnam War was actually north vietnamese.

Mainly due to fighting in a more target rich environment, but impressive nonetheless.

pretty cool I'd say

>>3297618
letters from Iwo Jima is framed from the Imperial Japanese perspective but was very popular with western Audiences anyway

>>3297698
Which had to be preceded by Flags of our Fathers.

And not to mention the Vietnam War is much a fresher wound than WWII.

>>3297707
>fresher wound
it's not a wound at all, most people don't even know what the fuck was it all about, including vets

>>3297717
>58,000 americans died in vietnam
>not a wound

ok

>>3297677
huh i always thought all the pilots on the commie side were from USSR/china

>>3297707


The USA was also defeated.

>>3297743
Didn't vietnam ban any foreigners to participate in the war (on the battlefield) to avoid blood debt? I think that's the difference between them and Nork

>>3297777
That's weird...never seen quads lie before.

Nguyễn Văn Bảy: father and uncle killed by french, mom moves to area near airbase and kid becomes interested in aircraft, was schooled and enlisted in the normal way, 7 kills

Nguyễn Văn Cốc: family split up by north-south divide, volunteers to train in a meme pilot program in China, poor as fuck, goes from riding a bicycle to flying a plane, 9 kills

Which one?

>>3297548
Weren't most of the pilots actually Chinese/Russian, or was that the Korean War?

>>3297743
Most pilots, and then tank crews, were trained in those two countries so I can see where the confusion can come from. There were Soviets in-country, but really just to collect SAM data for improvements back home. As an aside, NVA tankers suffered because while they were trained by the Soviets, nobody was willing to fly the infantry to Ukraine to train with them (plane tickets are expensive you know), and as a result failed miserably at cooperating with armored units.
>>3298636
Van Bay at least is still alive and has done interviews with foreigners. He actually got 10 kills according to the North Vietnamese counting of shared kills (if a pilot meaningfully helped take down an aircraft, he got to count it).

>>3298563
No. China had over 300,000 soldiers in North Vietnam during the 60's. Many pilots and transport drivers were Chinese/Soviets.

yfw most well known ace in history

>>3298636
why are 8 out of 10 Vietnamese dudes named Nguyen and does the name have western equivalent?

>top scoring ace during the Vietnam War
>Nine air-to-air combat kills
Maybe this is why no one gives a shit

Don't quote me on this but I believe it stems from this war:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr%E1%BB%8Bnh%E2%80%93Nguy%E1%BB%85n_War

apparently once the Nguyen won, people were so terrified of being accused as Trinh sympathizers something like half of the country changed their names to Nguyen

>>3299095
But plenty of vietnamese people are called Trinh something

>>3298813
>2nd most well known ace in history
Literally who?

>>3297698
Don't forget master and commander:fsotw - In the book it is an american ship (based on the uss constitution, aka ironsides) that is hunting whalers in the pacific.

American money couldn't handle the 'confusion' of rooting for the guys hunting american bad guys. Its the same deal.

burgers are fucking retarded

>>3298636
Hey I think you mixed them up

Bay trained in China to fly a MiG-17

Coc was the one who's father and uncle were killed by the French and he trained in the USSR

>one day the Americans Naplam your farm
>it fuels your desire for revenge as you watch your hut gets burned to crisp
>you go to the USSR to train on flying things you never saw before
>take revenge by shooting several american aircraft out of the sky and spread terror amongst them and become a national hero

Would make a really good fucking movie desu.
