Forrest Gump - Walking in Vietnam 

Also another fact, Forrest is bulletproof.

Then after he survived on a island

Before dday he was a convoy escort captain

After he returned to the US he tried to land on the moon but failed, and Lt. Dan had to save his ass.

Also he was a captain in a submarine

Not always. Many black soldiers were killed because when someone yelled "GET DOWN!", they'd start dancing.

drinkingpoolwater He didn't know where Tex is from.

A real friend

Then lt dan got us invested in some fruit company and we didnt have to worry about money anymore

You do realize this is fictional?

@@shaanazeem7635 no fucking shit. I simply pointed something out within the film that I particularly admired.

He didn't give him half of the profits, he gave him his share. Since they split 50/50 he probably sold half of the companies shares on the stock exchange and gave that money to his family

And his friend Ban

lol that’s dark

*Terry

I thought he was named oil

@@konradplatt3833 if you’re looking for oil in Afghanistan, you’ll be walking forever.

Which means an old man that has visited Mecca for the great Hajj.

There are millions of people with that name

Did you find him?

Well as an Iranian we just say haji to everyone its just like "bro" or "dude" But of course that haji in iran won't blow you to heaven

I remember blowing up a haiji

Vizzlemeister Honestly Forrest Gump could be a good role model for everyone

Udo Durkschneider he's my role model

We need more people like Forrest

Potato We really don’t.

@@apropercuppa8612 we actually do

Rawk4Life The world needs a Gump

What about Pvt Pyle

Jake Rojas look up Louie gomer

+Randy Cheow Which Pyle are we talking about here? Gomer Pyle or Leonard "Gomer Pyle" Lawrence?

AlexSDU what's the diffrence, his still a piece of useless fatass

Finkardop yep 👍🏻

That's because jenny became an asshole.

Finkardop yea fuck Jenny, everyone else did! 😂😂😂

Fuck that bitch Jenny

But seeing how Forrest realizes that he can no longer talk to Jenny is sadder.

Well you can do just about anything with shrimp

@@mrswishadank2329 You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.

“I sell shrimp and shrimp accessories.”

@@mrswishadank2329 I wouldnt be surprised if they found shrimps on bubba when they carried him out.

Wherr!?? Lol thats awesome

I swear some of the dumbest damn people end up enlisting. I knew a guy that was in the Navy on an aircraft carrier for 4 whole years and didn't know what types of aircraft they had on board.

Apperantly, Robert Mcnamara started a program during the Vietnam war that allowed the military to take in soldiers who they normally had to refuse, such as people with mental disabilities or low IQ and such. They were called 'Mcnamara morons' and it looks like Gump could have been one of them, maybe that's the reason why he was allowed to be in the army.

@@jeoffrey9733 yep, and it is a horrific abuse of our citizenship. But real talk- we took in the same types during the Surge, with the exception of it being localized and not directed from DoD.

He was drafted and alot of able bodied dodged the draft especially the rich and politicians sons even though they supported and profited from it.

@@jeoffrey9733 While that may be so, Forrest in this case was lucky, his ability to retain information and the duty of a soldier is to do his duties as specified by his superiors make him a good soldier. He won't climb the ranks, but he's the kind of trooper any leader would want, good physical condition, obedient and hell of a marksman on top of everything else. (I know he's fictional but some mentally challenged people can be somewhat like him)

Hi Cap'n Cake, I really like that comment! You bring up a good point I had never really thought of before! Forrest Gump is such an inspirational movie, and I quote it all the time. My brother actually has Autism, which makes me connect with the movie even more (I know Forrest did not have Autism, but him and my brother relate in that they are both disabled). I actually posted a video on my channel 6 days ago that is almost like a tribute video to Forrest Gump (though I called it a Mashup). You see, there's a band named Family Of The Year, and they used their hit song "Hero" for Richard Linklater's 2014 movie called Boyhood. For my video, I used "Hero" as background music while showing various scenes from Forrest Gump. Aside from matching song lyrics with movie scenes, my intention with the video was to create something that is unique and heart-felt. If you have a few minutes sometime and are interested, here is a link to the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Or-sIiNANYg.html If you don't check it out, no worries at all! I won't be offended! But thank you so much in advance if you do see it! Have a great day, and stay safe!

Great point indeed!

I disagree. I think he does have PTSD. When he's talking about the ambush and Bubba, he ends the story by saying, "Bubba wanted to be a fishin' boat captain, but instead he died right there by that lake in Vietnam..." and the scene ends and the sound of helicopters echo out as the camera transitions from Vietnam to Forrest at the bus stop bench slowly looking up towards the heavens and then Forrest says in kind of a low, sad voice, "...and that's all I have to say about that..." If you talk to vets that have PTSD Forrest is there with imagining the sounds and re-living the moment and it takes him a bit to snap out of it and come back to reality (see below). Then the man listening to the story says, "I betcha it was a bullet!" and that snaps Forrest out of it and Forrest goes, "a bullet...?" and the man says, "that jumped up and bit ya!" and then Forrest is back with us and he says, "oh, yes, sir. It bit me directly in the buttocks!"

People display grief differently. It's hard to psycho analyze how he felt based on his supposed mental capacity. Are you saying people with learning or mental disabilities can't have PTSD lol that's kinda dumb

actually he is pretty sad when bubba dies

When is war not a mess?

Yeah even tho I wasn't alive then I think we shouldn't have been over there.

They were in the fucking trees man

The tunnels were the worse fuck that shit

And best of all it was for that sweet sweet raytheon stock

Best music supervision in the history of cinema

StylosityYourWay Definitely!!!

No Fortunate Son? Impossible

Eran Boazy you clearly did not see this movie

@@likaboss7654 I did but it was a long time ago

Agreed. As a kid seeing this it is hard to understand how it worked out. Watching this now compared to long ago makes Jenny look even worse and Bubba's death was probably one of the saddest parts in the whole film.

...the more I realize how DEEP this movie was.

Agreed, but work on your grammar.

@@casualobserver2380 Do you speak a second language?

The older l get the younger Forrest gets

Number 1 was order 66

classic

Wrong branch. Gump was in the Army, they were in the Marines.

@@CassDaMan1138 Cowboy, Snowball and Joker were also Marines

@@dexsterkevin80 thats what he said

Looks more like 8 Ball than Snowball.

Ulysses I went to Vietnam with my dad and crawled through some of those tunnels. Scary shit. I don’t know how they could lives in those things.

````````````````````````````````````````````` they were generally hand picked troops to do it

Cu Chi Tunnels!

````````````````````````````````````````````` I met an Australian that had to do it once. It fucked him.

Forrest Gump was like 6ft 6ins tall weighed at least 240lbs, so I doubt he would have been called on for tunnel rat duty, but hey it is a fictional story!

:))

Tree: We both hate this war

@@ibongamtrang7247 tree lives matter

@Goo Hammer Thankyou

And trees started talking vietnamese

what about "Platoon"....best Vietnam movie ever made.

@gillecroisd 92 Drug use among combat arms units did increase around 1970, 71, when the morale was at an all time low and nobody wanted to be the last one killed....some platoons went out on "patrol" but actually just hid in the treeline and did nothing...then they went back to the base with a made up story of "no contact" with the enemy.

it would be interesting to make a movie about the Vietnam war without the politics, or "mythology" just do the best to tell the story on what happened. An HBO series like Band of Brothers would be great particularly one that covered the war from 65-75. from a few point of view characters in different units (and different "types" of units)

@@williamt.sherman9841 a Band of Brothers type show for every war would be awesome

Full metal jacket is also the best vietnam war movie

For cleaning his rifle

The Helmet was a good spot to keep a lot of your small shit that would be a pain in the ass to get from your pack. Bug juice, cigarettes, etc

I agree with previous comment. It was for cleaning rifle. Looks too dirty for teeth but then again some people would...

@@paulroach9764 It's for cleaning the rifle. Black bristles and those were hard (TOO HARD) for human teeth. Those came with the cleaning kit, though I mostly saw them in the helmets of the M60 gunners (along with LSA oil) but having everyone with the 'bug juice' in their helmet bands is totally correct :D

@@Frankie2012channel in Vietnam soldiers weren’t given cleaning kits. There was a lot of bureaucratic BS that sabatoged the rifles because the Army Brass didn’t want to adopt, but that was the main issue.

I think that was kind of the joke.

When the drill instructor tells him that he must have an incredibly high IQ and that he would be general one day - the only one who said that in the whole movie - you should realize what's the point of view about the marines in the movie

@@robertoprestigiacomo253 but forrest was in the army

@@Chicken_Wing91 was he? Ok, I was quite sure it was the marine corp, but I haven't watched the movie in a while

Thats the point, It was a banter to the army, a mentally charged individual that blindly follow orders

Except he was doing all the saving.

@@AlexSDU And got MOH

Best part is Tom hanks is in saving private Ryan

Saving lieutenant dan

Lol 😂

Is it Texas? I actually don't know

@@thotdestroyer8891 Looking at how they all have unrelated names, I think his full name is Texas and he is from California

@@a.h.s.3006 Guessing that Pvt. Tex came from Oakland

Tex was from compton

@@thotdestroyer8891 the name Tex is for someone from Tennessee

And therefore we all got more sad about Bubba’s death than Jennay’s

mind blown

Wait wich game is that?

That damn charlie

what's the meaning of that

@@disc3ts in Vietnam we were fighting the Viet Cong. The army has a way of shortening/making abbreviations particularly when talking over the radio. Viet Cong = Victor Charlie over the radio (from the phonetic alphabet). Guys then just started saying simply “Charlie” or “VC” to refer to the Viet Cong.

Charlie is a very busy guy. He's always going to places setting up this deal and that deal.

@@disc3ts similar to how the Brits and Americans called the Germans "Jerry" or "Kraut".

You legend 😂😂

Thx

Thanks bud, I have searched after the fist song for a while thanks👑

You forgot Buffalo Springfield

@@AYVYN damn how'd i forget that one lol thx

But why would Texas be from texas if the other two werent right lol

@Goo Hammer Or that his name is Texas but everyone shortened it to Tex, but he is actually from a random place (California maybe) but Forrest doesn't remember because they shortened the name. Or he could just be from Texas

I agree with everything you said except the thing about the rifle. Unless you mean the AK... The m16 was a notoriously unreliable weapon. There's a reason the AK is still in rotation and the m16 was practically phased out by the end of this conflict.

Gave him hope, got him through the Nam. At least he did not get one of those "Dear Forrest" type letters back.

@@jeffburnham6611 Idk if we would even understood what it meant

Bros before hoes

Oh well, at least she came around.

People aren't born trash, but we can be made that way from growing up in an unloved environment. This is particularly true for fathers and daughters. If her dad is a jackass, she will tend to seek out men like him, even though it defies common sense

"what did she ever do for Gump?" ...besides be his friend when no one else would. It's not like she didn't have a whole host of family problems so I guess we can cut her some slack, eh?

Gave him a child

I would bet that Roman "Miles" (Roman Soldiers) 2,000 Years ago did that too. Back in the mid-80's when I was a Paratrooper, my buddies and I did that for the same dang reason! "If It Ain't Rain'n, It Ain't Train'n!" It also seems to Rain a Lot in most wars too! In Iraq, The "Fertile Cresent" it rained more than most people in the USA realize. More than one it rained Mud! (storms coming out of the east or south, deserts, sometimes had enough sand and/or soil) It was raining Gritty MUD!

@@paladinsix9285 fuck that mudrain, I would asphyxiate on the wind.

My uncle Jesse served in Vietnam too, craziest tough sob I ever knew

@Simon Lu. Have you seen the movie?

@Simon Lu. "The best thing about Vietnam, was there was always some place to go. And there was always something to do." "I got to see a lot of the countryside." Most soldiers would tell you about the horrors, discomfort, and tragedy of the Vietnam war, but Forrest recounts it with a childlike optimism. He's a kind soul, and he does possess some wisdom and general aptitude, which is laudable, but the things he's saying are silly and they're supposed to be.
