Scenes of ARVN (Army of the Republic of Vietnam) troops battling NVA (North Vietnamese Army) ... not graphic, but terrible images of the war and what it did to the Vietnamese.

6. We're not allowed to see what goes on today.
It was in our living rooms nightly during the viet Nam War.

4. The American Helicopter......
Edited on Thu Jul-31-08 04:59 PM by Amsterdam Hooligan
That was more than likely, the 48th AHC.....Bluestars...I flew with the 129th AHC....Bulldogs.....Kontum, Dak To.....That`s right around the "Tri-Borders"..Laos, Cambodia, and Nam all came together there. We were in support of the 22nd ARVN Division. Landed in a LZ to pick up a American advisor....and started taking 122MM rockets in the LZ. I had been "in country" for 10 months...and still shit my pants that day.
