The Vietnam War Explained

This video is demonetized and might be age-restricted, but the heck with it. I released it, anyway. I have censored it so much already. The less censored version can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLB6qbJ4jb0 I think I'm done covering wars for awhile. Support the sponsor to make up for the fact that I won't make much from ads on this one, eh? It's Henson razors this time.Try out Henson and get 100 free blades with purchase of a razor.

“It’s kind of like the government telling you that there’s no war crimes, and then you get on TikTok and see the war crimes. And then the government bans TikTok.” So much respect for saying this, Mr. Beat. Thank you.

"The one thing they don't prepare you for in war is the incessant use of Fortunate Son"

Nothing screams "fight for freedom" more than not having the freedom to choose if you want to fight

Former Vietnam war protester who enlisted in the USAF because WWII vets said I didn’t know what I was talking about saying the government was covering up what was actually going on. Good to see your video. Thanks!

When I was in 9th grade, I chose to write an essay about the Vietnam War, as I didn’t know much about it and wanted to know more. The further I got into my research the more appalled and disgusted I was. The things people experienced were truly horrific. Thank you Mr. Beat for educating people about this very important subject. I feel that not enough people understand the horrors that happened during the war.

1-2-3-4, What are we fighting for? Don't ask me, I don't give a damn. Next stop is Vietnam.

I’m in a relationship with a Hmong woman and she taught me the whole reason why that ethnic group is now here in America. During the Vietnam War, there was also the Secret War in which the CIA used the Hmong people to fight against the Viet Cong. In payment of fighting against them, the CIA helped the Hmong people immigrate to America. I’d love to see you make a video on this proxy war within the whole Vietnam War. Or how other groups were paid into fighting.

My pop-pop was a soldier in the Army during Vietnam, he never fought in the war itself because he was honorably discharged due to an injury. He died three years ago at 72. Rip, 9/11/49-1/9/21.

My FIL fought in Vietnam and we talk about every now and then. He definitely has suffered with PTSD. He still can't handle being in crowds, especially airports. He's almost 80 now. It's crazy how long reaching the effects of trauma can go. He's done well for himself at least considering all that. He's one tough dude. Thanks for making this Mr Beats.

3 days before my exam on the Vietnam War and this comes out, all hope is not lost

My mom's side of the family was a big army and military family. I have ancestors that have fought in every war from 1812 up until Vietnam. Vietnam changed everything. My mom's oldest brother fought in Korea and in Vietnam. After his second tour, he told my grandparents everything that happened. My grandparents did everything possible to make sure their two younger sons didn't get drafted. One spent a long time in medical school, the other lucked out that Saigon fell a few days before his 18th birthday.

25:00 good timing with this video. So many americans are ignorant to the fact that we are seeing a repeat of the vietnam war protests on college campuses and create a laundry list of reasons why their money must be spent on suffering.

My Grandpa fought in it. I wish I could still talk about it with him.

My neighbor in Spanaway, WA asked me to help him find some of his war records. Being in the Army I said sure. Turns out he didn’t have US war records. I found out this man was a Commando during the war. He lost his jaw when he was hit in the face with a rocket, and spent 3 years in a reeducation camp after Saigon fell. He was awarded a US Bronze Star, and the National Archives have his records. I’ve fought in 2 wars on 4 different occasions over my 20 years of service. I’ve never felt more inadequate than I did when I found out the caliber of man who was asking me for help.

My dad and his cousin were both drafted. His cousin was killed and my dad came back messed up mentally and physically. Thank you for bringing up how the rich got out of going.

I am a 20 man from Texas. And most of my later academic journey was ruined due to covid 19 and other aspects in life. I appreciate your video essays and lovely style of teaching. Thank you @mrbeat

This afternoon, I took the AP US History exam. To relax, I went on YouTube and despite not really having an appetite for anything history at the moment, I put on this video because why not. I'm glad I did, Mr. Beat never fails to present multiple perspectives on every issue he discusses. Thanks for all you do, Mr. Beat!

It is honestly insane to me the frequency with which I still run into people in real life and online that say "America was the good guys!" or "America won the Vietnam War!" when like pretty much any reading that doesn't come directly from the government will tell you otherwise in both cases. I enjoyed this video.

As a Vietnamese who subscribed to your chanel for a long time, thank you for making this video Us Vietnamese, we don't care about communism or capitalism, America, China or Russia, we just wanted freedom. Even today, we might be a " communism " country, but we are different compare with China and Russia
