*This is an edited and reposted video of an earlier version due to YouTube's restriction policies.*

High quality, intense, and raw combat footage from the Vietnam War.

Direct U.S. Military involvement in the Vietnam War lasted from 1965-1973. Two out of every three men who served in Vietnam were volunteers. The average U.S. infantryman in Vietnam saw 240 days of combat each year. The average infantryman in the South Pacific during World War II saw about 40 days of combat. This increase was largely the result of technological advances, including the helicopter, which made troops more mobile.

The U.S. fought a well-trained and well-funded military force in the Viet Cong (VC), contrary to popular belief that the VC were a small guerilla force. It’s estimated from 1954 to 1968 North Vietnam received over $3.2 billion in military and economic aid from communist nations like the Soviet Union and China. What’s more, the VC had AK-47s which were more reliable than the M-16s issued to American troops. They were also supplied with submachine guns, grenades, rocket launchers and an arsenal of other weapons. The VC was not a small, guerilla force.
