The 1st Infantry Division In Vietnam (1965 - 1970) - The Big Picture

My uncle, Cyrus V Kean, was drafted in December 1968 and was designated to the 1st infantry division. He went to Fort Jackson and then to Fort Gordon, then to Vietnam. My grandmother went to church every single day, prayed Cy would return unharmed. While Cy made it back physically unharmed, he was mentally destroyed. In 2009 he put on his uniform, took a bottle of lithium and drowned himself in the Delaware River. The war obliterated his mind. An unfortunate ending.

During the Vietnam War there were a lot case of US ground troops commit a lot of attrocities toward many South Vietnamese villagers during their "Search and Destroy Mission." Many were never reported and a lot was being covered up by US General William Childs Westmoreland. There were many US ground troops saw the attrocities done by their fellow American troops and did nothing. While other participate. Vietnamese peoples were the victim of the Vietnam War. Even though many Vietnamese didn't start the War and didn't ask for it. That was the decision by the American peoples who voted for Democrats President JF Kennedy and LB Johnson as their Commander in Chief for their country. And Democrats President Truman who brought Communist support to Vietnam by allowing and supporting France to reclaim Vietnam as their colony. A country who value their freedom and independence from England. Deny other country of their own. America was never a democracy country. America is a Republic.

"He proudly served his country for 27 years in the U.S. Army, including two years of duty in Vietnam as a decorated Infantry Commander in the Big Red One, 1st Infantry Division..."

My uncle was a lieutenant colonel in the Big Red One, including Vietnam. He made it back and retired honorably, but died young. He got a bronze 🥉 star, but I never learned the reason why. Anybody know where I can find out ?

Politicians were the VC , and NVAs Allies .

My uncle was kia in NAMs Central Highlands , near Pleiku , tail end of bloody ass TET about mid3-68 . Just b-4 my 11th bday is when he was killed .

The Toughest, the Russian Army.

Valor and honor semper fi., Camp Pendelton Nov 29 1969 USMC.

did any viewers here serve with company A, 2nd battalion, 1st infantry division? my grandfather, jack hord, didn’t share much about his 20 years in the army so i’m trying to do my own research to properly honor his memory (he passed away in 2017). he also spent extensive time at fort riley and fort gordon. thanks for reading!

What seems incredible is the fact that the US was defeated by Vietnam. What? Did the US lose the war against Nam? OMG! Against a poor country, undeveloped, malnourished, without Navy, without Air Force, NO Marines, Green Berets, SEALs, Rangers, Delta Force, USMC, Rambos nor Chuck Norris. Defeated by a country of peasants without strategic plans, no B-59 Bombers, no PT-Boats, no Northrop F-5 "Freedom Fighter", nor Atomic Submarines. Without Aircraft Carriers, NO Continental Missiles, nor Tanks, Choppters, AR-15, Gatlin Machines’, Flamethrowers, Napalm, Agent Orange. NADA! And to top it off, defeated by an army of teenagers who had no shoes: WITHOUT SHOES!!! Army that fought with bamboo sticks!!! Charlie Kicked Our Asses and even invaded our Embassy. Jeezzz!!! Here is the Duty, Courage and Chanting of Heroism of the US Army. This is the True Story of our Country. This is the History that is already written in the US Books. And the History that was written in Afghanistan is made with the same ink.

คุณรู้สึกอย่างไรกับทหารไทย

Việt Nam bây giờ vẫn gọi là giặc Mỹ

Cuối cùng thì những kẻ xâm lược, những kẻ gây ra tội ác chiến tranh tại Việt Nam cũng phải nhận cái kết thua cuộc và nhanh chống chạy trốn khỏi việt nam trước ngày 30/04/1975.,

Du mẹ mày Mỹ

It seemed the soldiers were very tired and stressed

With modern weapons, the United States beat AK soldiers but it is difficult to eat, so the United States is the strong, not the good

Việt Nam number one

Tôi là là thế hệ con cháu của đất nước việt nam .tôi tự hào cha ông chúng tôi đã hi sinh cho đất nước chúng tôi vì màu cờ sắc áo. Đay tôi thấy là 1 video hết sức là phản cảm và xỉ nhục cho đất nước USA .1 đất nước xâm lượt .tàn bạo đã gây ra biết bao nhiêu tội lỗi và mất mác cho dân tộc việt nam chúng tôi.mà tôi thấy các bạn Đan tự hào vì những hình ảnh sai trái đó.1 cường quốc với vũ khí hiện đại và nhiều tướng tài mà cũng bỏ chạy bao nhiêu trận đánh .các bạn nên nhớ đất nước tôi nhỏ nhưng ý chí dân tộc chúng tôi kiên cường bất khuất chống giặc ngoại xâm từ bao đời .đất nước bạn là những người xâm lược là tội đồ .những kẽ thất bại thua cuộc .

Nước mỹ mạnh thực sự khi họ đấu tranh cho dân tộc mỹ. Nhưng họ quên đi bản năng của dân tộc khác cungz là bản năng của dân tộc mỹ , những dân tộc tồn tại đến bây giờ đều là ý của Thiên Chúa

CANDYMAN

Bọn ác ôn 😊 tụi mày không nên tồn tại trên thế giới, khi đem lại bao nhiêu cuộc giết chóc chiến tranh trên toàn thế giới.

Hoà bình không chỉ đơn giản là rút quân về nước..mà hậu quả của loại hoà bình như vậy sẽ để lại cho những thế hệ sau của Việt Nam chìm trong ngàn năm tăm tối.

stick dem drums up ur 😮

You know if "COD WW2" had the 1st Infantry Division changed to the Vietnam War they could have at least followed from the History here.

Groovy music , big red one.😂😂😂

Người Mỹ đã gây tội ác ở Việt Nam nhưng họ luôn phủi tay chối bỏ.

Bên Mỹ nó quay có mầu mè nét bên Việt Nam mình đen trắng mờ

Những người mỹ các bạn có thể lên mặt trăng và trở về nhà nhưng các bạn sâm lược VN thì ko chắc có thể về nhà các bạn không hiểu dân tộc Việt Nam chúng tôi chiến đấu và chống sâm lược đã có cả ngàn năm

Việt Nam Bro muôn năm.

" Vì độc lập vì tự do, đánh cho Mỹ cút đánh cho ngụy nhào. "

Just know that Jim Morrison's father, a rear admiral commanding the Bon Homme Richard, was behind the Gulf of Tonkin incident that escalated the ground war in southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. That's a fact.

ต้องบอกช่วงนั่น ต้องยอมรับว่าเวียดนามอดทนขยัน ขนาด ขนอุปกรณ์ทางทหารอ้อมไกลผ่านทาง หนองคาย นครพนม อุบราชธานี ของไทยด้วย การสู้รบดุเดือนส่วนใหญ่ในลาวและกัมพูชามากกว่า

อยู่ป่าเขาขุดรูอยู่ถึงจะชนะนะครับอเมริกา

I was there , 1965 - 67. Agent orange is killing me. I was hit 7 times and made it home, a cripple for life.

I was in & around Vietnam from January 1967 to August 1970. I was lucky enough to work my way into some unique billet’s. I was assigned to Navy Support units operating from the DMZ & a place called Cau Viet to Phu Bai, Da Nang, Cam Ranh Bay & Saigon. I saw some of the best in Vietnam, &, of course, too much of the absolute worst of war. I became a better person because of all these experiences. And, I realized WAR is the absolute worst way to resolve conflict. But if one side of a disagreement refuses to discuss, negotiate or compromise, the result is WAR, because someone didn’t try hard enough.

We used to have a saying, If you're going to be one, be a big red one.

unwatchable !! THE drums and bongos 🤔🤔😵‍💫😵‍💫
