Vietnamese Booby Traps | Holidays in the Danger Zone | BBC Studios 

but realy effective

v. Sic but not then agent orange

v. Sic I'll choose WW1 than Vietnam War any day. Sure, the lifespan of a WW1 soldier might be short, but Vietnam has some of the most painful traps I've ever seen.

Julian Villa but isn't pain better than death ?

8 ball adikt "death is not hard, death is easy"

Sarbjit Gill and if some say its to deadly, lets remember who attacked who

Something interesting about this war is that most USA soldiers died from infections and sickness in the jungle.

Andres totenkopf hell no! we left unscathed. Even tropical diseases didn't touch us because we are superior to any other races.

Phillip Ellis The winning side usually wins.

Yea, kinda my point, both sides lost, and badly.

+Ted Striker Win what? What would anybody have gained from 'winning'? A political one-up on the Russians, maybe not even that. Never mind the casualties and needless death.

Isaac Lucas Most violent conflicts had very good reasons and high stakes. For America it was about stopping communism and fighting an indirect battle with a deadly enemy - the USSR. For the Vietnamese it was about the liberation of their land and people from foreign powers.

+Ted Striker There are good reasons for war yes, but perhaps not in Vietnam. Not sure whether it was worth it myself.

I rather take a cover from bombs than let it shred me.

Gentle Cat being trapped in that tiny tunnel

Yeah, she's a pretty good actor. Should be in Hollywood.

bashfulbrother more real than any actor in Hollywood.

Although it wasn't right for US soldiers to do that, they were forced to do something that would end the conflict (like Japan's nukings)

No excuse could forgive treating innocent people that way

Jecker, do you think that US soldiers wanted after fighting for months to keep on going through traps and bunkers that would now down them and their friends? Not everyone is the little snowflake that serves his country and doesn't have any hate towards the enemy. I'm pretty sure that if an enemy culture took you friends or injured them you would be wanting revenge towards one part of them

Wow

Nikita Sadkov "well payed" lol what a joke

Win Lin My uncle was a chopper gunner who would pick up soldiers. He said if he killed anyone he never saw their face cause he would blindly shoot into the trees so the could get in/out safely. He's one of the lucky ones.

Mister Fanzy ...Idk maybe he did. Doubt it cause soldiers in the area would probably be getting picked up or knew better. Idk why your asking me i was just relaying the story he told me.

Mister Fanzy They definitely knew where they were. The area his dad fired at was definitely enemy territory since it wouldn't make sense for a US helicopter to fire upon troops that are in that area

too*

hate the war all you want there are stories of loss on our side too just dont blame the troops for the war or what happened during the war, they just were doing what they were told. they had no choice.

you always have a choice, but sadly they might have been shot instead.

Yeah I feel sad that she was coached what to say.

same :,(

Yeah it was :'(

VMHvilsom War criminals.

VMHvilsom Yes, really sad.

+VMHvilsom still us is preaching human rights and so called democracy

BLACKTIGER # America isn't a democracy

why

What kind of reply is that ?

war is also essential for the planet, needs to depopulate the human race

David not really. the amount of people who die in wars is so small compared to the amount of people who live on the earth I really don't think it would make much if a difference. like say 10 million people die in a war. that's not even 1 percent of 1 percent of the population...

If 10 million people died in a war it would have been 0.15% of the worlds population not 0.01%. And if WW3 would happen there would be more civilian deaths than there were in WW2 but less military death deaths as nowadays armies are smaller and more professional and combat has become more fast paced due to technological advancements.

Faizan Manzoor a necassery evil.

Jake huh?

Jake how is it unnecessary? To have peace, you must have war.

@@florese4804 it's only a necessary evil for ideologies to live. Ideologies create division division creates insecurity insecurity creates weak men weak men create bad situations bad situations lead up to war which needs strong men to create good situations but in the end the ideologies remain the true evil within all.

New Zealand, Australia (I think), South Korea and Thailand. I might've missed one or two.

Simon De Belleme Actually the Americans were winning the war, but the political situation in the USA was that everyone wanted to bring back the soldiers home and they forced the government to do that.

+JamesTavRule Compared to the opposing side, yes I agree

ah, nothing like generalizing an entire population based off war time atrocities that both sides committed (: that's like saying all Germans were Nazis, or all middle easterners are members of Isis.

Octobers Very Own they are

BZZT! I'm sorry, that is incorrect. You lose, game over.

JamesTavRule yea, so are the VC

RisingStarL96A1 hate to be a grammar nazi but do you mean " I felt sorry for that old woman"?

Read that in an irish accent, thanks. Keep on doughtin laddie

antra chadad I never knew the Viet cong went into Iraq or Afghanistan...

Actually we liberated Iraq from a dictator that ultimately would have done more harm than we ever did. The reason it didn't work out is because the Islamic religion favors self greed in the name of god rather than logical and political morals, this meant that instead of coming together and forming a government, they formed factions that would in the end clash. This meant that after we left them to fix their government, they instead fought between each other and never got anything done. The same type of thing happened in Libya, but instead of us coming in before the revolution we supported the revolution there with airstrikes and aid. The Libyans had fought their war and still couldn't piece back together a functional government. But I hope you understand that in the U.S. Military hierarchy, the only possible way that shooting and killing civilians would never be acceptable, yeah it happens, but the system is there to punish those responsible for the orders or initiative to do so. The troops never harmed civilians in Iraq on purpose, those who did weren't Americans, they were monsters that would later be tried and held accountable for their actions.

Cristian Lupu you didnt even know that "afghanistan" was spelt wrongly. so much for YOUR intelligence..

jy lim Yet you still don't use capital letters.

We dont need your life story

What

me

Green Gamer Vietnamese living in America

Shiquonda Junior Syria? You do know that russia is the main military force there. Theres no americans in syria unless in coordination with russians. As for iraq and afganistan, the americans help train the soldiers there to fight against terrorists. And before that, it was removing the terrorists from power. South vietnamse and north vietnamse South koreans and north koreans Which country is better? Obviously south koreans. XD and guess who stabilized the country? Americans.

Shiquonda Junior also, the russians and the chinese shouldnt have been there in the first place too. They started the war against the south Vietnamese.

Make Austria great again Still a crime but I see your point

Yes, but in war there a little rules sadly.

Carl Sauer everyone and everything is a target in war, even civilians

America is targeted because that's the only thing they can say about it

Make Austria great again It doesnt matter if they were the first to do it. The fact is that they did do it and got away with it.

lol

I thought you were dead?

G i am alive my child

Osama Bin Laden boi u still mad u got killed

-_- really? You dont take anything seriously. At all.

Việt Khoa Lê Yes the US were horrible aswel. Both sides had no mercy. I'm English so I'm not on any side.

It's a war. No place for a hero, everyone shed blood in their hands, no righteousness, no place for a better man.

ConBCFC they're all as bad as each other for the most part. that's war for you

Gentle Cat Short Change Hero?

ConBCFC mercy? we left and now Vietnam is stricken by poverty because its all Communist... that's what happens when u show mercy

Bo Ma a lot have but in war time they got a slap on the wrists type of punishment.

Too strong to be held accountable. Fortunately for the entire world The Pax Americana is waning, their time is not far away.

Muhammad Safuan Americans will never changed?

jas0nbagley racist...

True muslims don't do violence, I have seen christians drinking alcohol and fight
