Home Fires Burning: New Zealand's Vietnam War 

I had occasion to bump into n oz vet that was in Long Tan ... at the Wanaka Airshow. He put me right about the kiwi's contribution to the battle of Long Tan. As far as he was concerned the NZ artillery have earnt any beer they drink.

A huge respect to my Kiwi cousins. 🇦🇺🇳🇿 Thank you

This is a great documentary. Long overdue. And whoever uploaded this I thank you for taking the time to do so.

I Want To Thank The New Zealand Defence Force ( NZDF) And Every Single NZDF Soldier, Sailor, Airman And Special Operations Forces ( SOF) Operator Who Served, Fought, Bleed And Unfortunately, Died In Vietnam, Doing The Damn Thing, Alongside Australian And American 4CES. You'll Always Have My Deepest Condolences For Your Nation's Loss. Semper Fidelis, Spiritus Invictus 🇺🇸 🇳🇿 .

As a Brit, I am acutely aware of the New Zealands involvement in Veitnam. The lack of acknowledgement from society, media and the like, reminds me of the Forgotten 14th Army during the 2nd World War to which Kiwis and Aussies were heavily involved. The ANZAC's "bloody good soldiers thankfully".

Thank for fighting with us-former South Vietnam

It wasn't New Zealand's war. It was as normal a U.S. war. Why, because US didn't agree on the type of government. In reality are the worse than ours. In many instances they look after their people better. Makes a change for the US in this war, it wasn't about resources for US advantage this time. Modern dat reality, WW1, WW2, both for dominance. Now US, under cover for dominance. US isn't happy with being equal, they have to be number 1, Their own words

As a dopey English guy, aware, but not actually aware of the NZ..and Oz soldiers being sent to Vietnam, this past few years, since I turned 60 I have read all there is to read about the Anzacs who served in Vietnam. The Anzac nurses….not that they will ever admit, but them girls really were irreplaceable for the troops. To have a warm, kind hearted nurse taking care of you…. That’s akin to your Mother being there taking care of you….Dont forget, Soldiers are tough as nails, but soft as sh*t when it comes to needing their Mothers to take care of them. Same goes for the Medivacs…those guys went into the very area’s where others feared to tread. There are no words to describe their levels of courage and bravery. I will never forget your courage Anzacs, neither will I ever forget what those gutless politicians have done, and continue to do. Until ordinary folk tell these gutless politician scum that what they do is never acceptable, they will just continue lining their pockets with our tax cash without a care.
