I think this is a particularly sweet set of photos.

awesome post.

seeing the viet cong tunnels first hand and how small they were shows you the crazy mobility they had.

that and the m16 sucked

but the war was fucked

cochi tunnels are legit...

the made the tunnels bigger for tourists.... here is my fat ass trying to go through

yeah my dad wished he could have used the m14 he had in basic

my mom has tried to talk him into going back to visit but he isn't ready. understandably there are certain memories he'd rather not revisit.

wow, just wow. such powerful pictures.

Stunning pictures.

damn, my dad was only a kid when this happened...

i thought my family were all american supporters, but a summer vacation turns out we were all viet cong/supporters

heard some preety crazy stories

I went to the war museum in Hanoi. Pretty moving to see some of the effects of that war in the photo's they had there. If you are ever in Hanoi ( nice city actually) make sure you go there.

odd, i just finished watching: vietnam a television history. Question to vietnamese revscene members: how divided was the country and how strong was the south politically? the documentary painted the south as a un organized group and lacking any real motivation to fight. True?

'Nam was a failure for the western countries cause you cannot win guerilla warfare on foreign soil

thanks US for fucking up almost every part of the world, in one way or another..

The 'mood' of those pictures is incredible.

the desensitized modern day teenager (due to stuff like COD:MW) should see the full set of photos the Vietnam war generated - including all the disgusting, gross, horrifying of the devastating effects of Napalms.

High schools should just pull a surprise assembly and show the pictures. Kids these days think of war as "cool" and mentally link them with the thought that "in a war, death is clean, bodies are removed immediately from play and there are no repurcussions"

no joke - go talk to some grade 8-9 kid what they think about war and that's pretty much the answer you will get

what was that war about anyways.
why do we still have wars?

those american soldiers all look so young. Like 16ish.

Went on vacation to japan last year and majority of the people that went as well were Vietnamese people from the states. Hearing their war stories and escaping to north america was :crybaby:

Touching pictures :(

I don't understand how any Vietnamese people can support the Americans. They dropped more bombs on Vietnam then all the bombs they used on Germany and Japan in WW2. Thats a fact and it includes the two nukes.

Here's an article about how the war still affects people in Laos.

75 million bombs still remain in Laos due to American bombing campaigns during the war.
