Vietnam War from the lenses

ANZACs in Vietnam

ada satu line dalam documentary kat discovery channel yang sebut... macam mana negara yang besenjatakan buluh boleh menang perang nih.... mungkin merujuk pada jerangkap samar kot....

a popular misconception

talked to some vets and they say the booby traps rarely get anything

the one that won the war were AMERICAN media and the realization that the war was pretty much BS even if they had won

the tet offensive was a hard smacking military failure for the PAVN but the media misconception made it seem like the US got mopped by the PAVN

yes and they're dont look like the PTSD stricken crazy people we see on TV

they are glad they fought but are bitter towards the government

canada hasn't been in war since korea so we dont see as much action as the US

there were some canadian soldiers in iraq too

terbaek la gambar2 nih..rare sungguh...

the main couse of the failure is the VC taking their own law to the peoples, so thats why they dont have any contributes from their own peoples,

i dont blame to the media about the misconception, its because they try to tell dont trust to the enemy.... coz they will do anything during we unconscious...

keta bebal pertama yg rempuh istana presiden

keta kebal ni ade di pamerkan muzium perang nasional vietnam kan ?

Tet Offensive, taktical win by US... Strategicly lost for US since they cannot cantrol the whole south vietnam... VC/NVA can freely conduct offensive anywhere, anytime and any place...

thats pretty much the image giap wants to send back to the american people

the large scale border crossing raid failed but the american people thought


'ZOMG ITS THE TURNING POINT OF THE WARRR'

eventhough for the regular soldier/marine it like another day

VC were pretty much wiped out in 69 thanks to one general Vo Nguyen Giap

a hard smacking military failure meaning? sebab vietnamese lagi ramai mati dari american soldiers? is that it?

it did not meet its military objectives and yes the high number of casualties

the VC ranks were decimated during the offensive.most of the VC were made up of PAVN soldiers afterwards

US forces won on the battlefield but the PAVN won in the media

HD.. to my simple deduction... in the end what matters would be... vietnam dapat kat sapa.... and US cannot boast of this....

they get what they want, but suffers in living afterward......



peace and calm.... but, there is a war going on here.....

Suffers, not really... Vietnam on the way to become little dragon for economics reformations...

I have met staff form our Vietnam and even Kampuchea offices..the reality is that they are moving towards China Commie Style economy..and like yaminz said they are moving to become economic tigers in their own right.

napalm on the move

i was talking in the context of the tet offensive

by the end of the offensive americans still held south vietnam and pushed all PAVN units back to the border

militarily speaking,it was a failure

the war was pretty much pointless and a humanitarian disaster

the US and USSR shouldn't have gone there in the first place

biar saya ringkas kan cerita pasal trajedi ofensiv TET ni,

utk pengetahuan kak anya, TET ni sebenarnya adalah satu perayaan bagi org vietnam, jadi pihak selatan atau RVN mengadakan gencatan senjata dgn pihak utara NVA utk menghormati perayaan ini, namun pihak NVA langsung tak amik pot pasal perayaan ni, mereka mengambil kesempatan di atas kealpaan pihak RVN beraya sakan dgn melancar satu serangan ofensiv yg berskala besar, bukan hanya tertumpu pada sesuatu tempat, tapi seluruh RVN, namun serangan tersebut hanya di jalankan oleh anggota gerila bawah tanah saje atau VC, bukan regular army NVA, ketika bermaharajalela, VC ni mengambil tindakan undang2 mengikut kehendak sendiri, menangkap rakyat2 dan membunuh mereka tanpa sebab dan bicara, ini merupakan kesilapan yg amat besar di lakukan oleh VC, mereka tidak mendapat sebarang bantuan dari rakyat jelata.

namun, serangan yg di buat oleh VC ni agak tidak teratur, jadi tak lama selepas bermulanya ofensiv mereka pihak RVN segera bangkit dan melancarkan serangan balas, dlm pertempuran kali ini banyak memakan korban pihak VC sendiri, hampir 10k raser nyer, berbanding dgn pihak RVN dgn sekutu jumlah nya agak sedikit, rasa2nyer dlm ratusan sahaja, namun kemusnahan harta dan org awam agak tinggi laaahh sbb VC ni jahat ( hehehehe, sama mcm PKM tuuu ).....

sbb tuu Heavy cakap, media banyak gembar gemburkan pasal TET nii, mcm satu kegagalan RVN dgn sekutunya, sedangkan apa yg patut di dedahkan seperti kemusnahan harta dan nyawa org awam tuuu pandang remeh ajerrrr....

Bro, rasa nyer kan tet offensive nie adalah kerjasama antara VC ngan NVA. VC mlakukan serangan/sabotaj d bandar2 seluruh Vietnam Selatan. Manakala NVA pula mlakukan offensive d sempadan dan bjaya mnawan bandar Hue...

aku citer ringkas2 ajerrr, sbb nak telly dgn apa yg Heavy cuba sampai kan....
