Vietnam Voices: 'We had Agent Orange all over the place' 

I am a 68 yo Navy Veteran who salutes every Vietnam Veteran I encounter...Thank you Sir for your service

Just recently found these in last months and I am grateful for this work to preserve our veterans own personal take aways of this war.

This guy deserves to speak as a veteran and as an American about war.

I just barely and thankfully missed out on the Viet nam ordeal due to age, but have had many friends that were involved. Most that were actually in the thick of things do not wish to discuss it much, and I understand that. Sadly I know of some that blabber on and come to find out that they were never exposed to any combat situations. I’ve become somewhat addicted to watching and listening to these guys that You interview. Thank You and all that served and share these experiences.

Thank you for your service Chuck.

Was an infantryman around DaNang at this time. This guy had it made.

What a lovely man god bless you and keep you safe

I have a gut feeling there is more to Chucks story that is too painful for him to talk about. It seems his mind starts to go there and feelings start to build and Chuck is able to deflect before those feeling start spilling out. It happened more than once. Chuck...I admire you for what you have went thru and if there is more that is troubling you please get the assistance that's available. Walk tall sir, I salute you.

A really nice and pleasant guy. God bless!

3rd Batt. 7th Marines ChuLai,RVN 10/65-11/66 i have a serious health issue tied to agent orange and only God knows what else we were exposed to....

This guy could’ve done radio. He’s got a great voice

I love these interviews...

Sympathy for the people who had to endure Vietnam, respect for those who were able to refuse induction

Man can you imagine that in today's world

Thank you for your service!

Hi Billings Gazette find these interviews amazing . I would like to re listen to one interview about a career soldier who never lost a man in his platoon did 3 or more tors any idea's. cheers Dave

Monsanto!!!! What a joy Agent orange was/still is….

glad to see one who can see cheers

Thanks for your service. Good luck with the cancer. I've read on the internet that fenbendazole (a dog dewormer) may be a cure for cancer. I was born 1953 and my draft number was 70, but that year I believe the military stopped the draft at number 39. I wonder what my life would have been like if I had enlisted.

Could have done without the constant hammering on the politics of the wars,but still I`ve got to give him due respect and thanks for serving.......

I'd imagine what goes though their minds when they get a deferment is " it'll be over in 6 months or they'll be a truce.. Nobody thought " oh Lord this war will last another 6 years

My cousin joined the national guard to avoid the draft and Vietnam.

28:10 is the most profound thing anyone has said on this channel about the war in general

I'm sorry but there's not a single soldier alive who would ditch their weapon system whilst inside the base much less outside. This guy is either absolutely sloppy with his admin or is extremely talented at lying about his past.

Explain it to us Chuck

Chucks a bit of a preformer...

Damn, this is not how Vietnam is portrayed in movies. Have we been lied to?

If Chuck was drafted how come he did 3 years instead of two years?

I have watched many of these interviews. They are very good. But I have yet to see a female military nurse and their experience.

The best thing about the Vietnam war ...was the fact that it NEARLY ..Levelled the playing field ....Americas ...wealth ...America's MASSIVE armed forces .... America's superior technology ... was pretty much cancelled out in the Jungles of Vietnam .... so Americans learnt they were not superior men to people living in the 3rd world ... Vietnanese men fought and killed just as many Americans as u did ... Vietnam stood up to America ...and survived ...

You need to go back to Vietnam. The capital city and a couple others are modern. The rest of the country is impoverished

There is an alternative, and very valid perspective to Vietnam. Those of us who resisted the Draft/Vietnam were serving our country...just as those who see this man doing it. Vietnam was an illegal war. It did not have anything to do with America or Americans. Yet, almost 60000 Americans lost their lives and there was a 10 year drain on the US economy. Many...many...veterans acknowledge a lot of BAD things happened in Vietnam. We who resisted did NOT enable our dysfunctional US Government in its erroneous foreign policy. We hastened the end of an American tragedy. Try thinking out of the box who you want to thank for their service and dedication. To resist the US Government could have serious consequences. Don't be mislead....a lot of Vietnam veterans chose to serve in Vietnam ONLY b/c it appeared to be the best option for them

They killed my dear neighbor Ray Faber! And for what?

Poor thing

Can one be to full of himself? Yes one can..

Sounds like my kind of luck. Then at that job have to sit and listen to people tell me I'm privileged after having to get an education and live 10 years longer than the person telling me that to get the same job bc I'm just another white guy

Somehow he is hard to believe.

As soon as he said cassette tapes. I was out

Can’t believe guys like this even consent to be numbered among the real combat veterans.

I don’t believe his story. Too many things out of place.

Aee

Enough

something about this guy - not a tear in his eye - i have watched a whole bunch of these - Im getting sick to my stomach - good example of middle class cowards hiding behind the poor and honest - could be wrong but im a good guesser

The wicked pelican embryologically employ because lan energetically load by a animated accordion. plant, arrogant step-brother

Not the poor middle classed white male being discriminated against due to draft status
