this vietnam today is not the this vietnam today is not the same that he saw.o be abeca close friend with america. i think my dad would be happy about that. you know how i know, because das 's flag and i can just walk over this line with dad watching from heaven. we can watch together and see what the future holds. my experiences in vietnam made me feel closer to my dad than ever before. i knew there was one more thing i had to do. my dad's youngest brothers, uncle tim and uncle ronnie, joined me for this final step of my journey. texas. whether it was pouring rain didn't stop us. we were all together at his funeral and they try folded his flag right. what do you think dad would have thought about me returning to vietnam? he was extremely proud of you. i think he would be satisfied knowing that you finally were able to get maybe a fuller picture of his military service and how far he traveled for the freedom of this nation. yeah, i think you're right. my mother used to write letters all the time. she would cry, but she knew he was coming back. and i remember cr

north vietnam hasn't been bombed yet.or its part, also did not lag behind and reported thousands of dead. the problem was that the cia didn't like the numbers. according to their data, it turned out that at that time the red movement in the south numbered a maximum of 1020. it turned out that even before the escalation of the conflict with the arrival of lyndon johnson in the white house, the air force destroyed all the rebels in southern vietnam three times. situation on the field the battle began to deteriorate, the escalation took a new turn, sometimes, for things to get better, they must first get worse, for this reason i am especially closely watching the slow advance of russian troops on kharkov, the second largest city in ukraine, and symbolically very important for it, the west is wondering whether russian goals in ukraine will be revised, what's the point? i think the korean scenario is a terrible idea; all parties to the conflict should strive for a solution to it that does not contain the potential for renewal

let's go to let's go to vietnam, back. beginning august 1969, i got on an airplane that gets to georgia after a night of celebration and went to atlanta, changed airplanes to go to california with a stop in dallas. well, i went to sleep on the airplane between after we left atlanta and they landed in dallas. and the stewardess woke me up and says, we're in texas. and i went, i'm going to california. and i went back to sleep. well, we got california and i went down to pick up my duffel bag and i waited for the baggage come through. and i was not many duffel bags and i thought there was more than then. i never did find a duffel bag. so i went to the baggage claim. i said, hey, you know, where's my bag? and he says, and let me see your ticket. and he looked at ticket. he says, your bags probably in san francisco. you're in los angelus. that's supposed to change your plane to dallas. and i didn't make that. so i ended up going to oakland. when we got to oakland, one of the guys in my flight class with jim willingham and his fa

but vietnam itself is an attractive fti destination for chinese investment.n to get around geopolitical tensions, or theyjust may be attracted to vietnam as an attractive place to build things as wages continue to rise in central china. when you say china is now at the top of the foreign direct investor in vietnam, what kind of changes have we've seen compared to five years ago? so, five years ago, china wasn't really a large source of fti to vietnam at all. it's reallyjumped up the rankings, especially in the last couple of years. you've seen there's lots of chinese manufacturing looking to expand abroad into a different market. it's perhapsjust a natural progression that these chinese companies are now very competitive on a global scale and looking to move into markets beyond their own borders. is about securing the labour force that are slightly more affordable than back home? yes, but it's also the fact that there's many factors other than labour costs, especially as we've had less of an issue in labour costs. some of it is driven by de—risking, some of i

was unwilling to negotiate with south vietnam, and south vietnam was unhappy with the united statess behalf. and, of course, the united states misinterpreted the preconditions for the conflict, believing that it was to blame for everything. 8 million tons of bombs, twice as much as were dropped by the allies during the second world war, was exactly the same amount of explosives that fell on the territory of vietnam, loos and cambodia during the entire vietnam conflict. the us air force turned out to be a key player in it, but was never able to become a decisive force. as a branch of the air force, it appeared in the united states after world war ii. before that, they were part of the army, which, like the navy, financed several nuclear weapons on china’s border with korea to stop beijing’s participation in the conflict, and general frederick harrison smith, deputy head of the us air force, proposed using nuclear weapons in vietnam, true, the military did not take into account the political consequences, although by the sixties atomic bombs transformed from a battlefield weapon into

vietnam, there was more than hochenping, it said that the parties respect the sovereignty of south vietnamts people to statehood and to free elections and to the whole world, and the vietnamese communists happily signed up for it, and as long as south vietnam existed for two, after that, as many as two years, well , of course, some people took advantage of this two-year situation, that is, if you want to escape. and you can’t, then between this peace agreement and, let’s say, the death of kyiv , you will have a year or a half there to pack your bags, withdraw money from these accounts and leave here quietly, but how many people are there, maybe there are some people who want to live here, you see, we have to think about them too, these are the people who wanted to live in south vietnam, what happened to them, from saigon in the first years after the occupation, its communist vietnam expelled 1.5 million people, but we extrapolate to kyiv. and 300-4,000 were sent to camps for hopeless persons and most died there, but you can simply calculate the proportions, that those who will, oh, finally

there was, there was a vietnam war. he saw that there was a more, you know, for a kind of ratcheting down the cold war, and that's why he adopted is the top policy which is very sensible. but in the late forty's early 50, the move of the exact opposite. and he played the beautifully in the alger hiss case, where he made a show whittaker chambers was, is at a crime in those who claim to elder his was a key figure in the state department who had been at the altar accords with this the roosevelt administration that they signed a cooperative agreement with the soviets and issues of being a russian spy. and you know, whittaker chambers was the key witness. and nixon went with the video cameras to chambers farm and he. busy came to a have these documents and they made a big scene before the media and a nursing. these documents that the chambers of buried and this was all played up before the media and how his was a spy. so he played that master flights that propelled his political career was a little bit what? because because

the united states entered vietnam in 1965. 10 years of continuous carnage became the first war that ordinary americans saw in all its horror on their television screens. the reports from the distant asian country were stunning. tomorrow military reports will say that one american was wounded in action with enemy forces. enemy losses unknown, but you saw how it all really happened. heroism, danger, fear, everything mixed together. against the war, the slogans of thousands of anti-war demonstrations of those years. the march to the pentagon in october 67 was the first anti-war march in the united states of this scale, about 100 thousand participants, the culmination of protests in august 68 in chicago, during the democratic party convention. it is the war in vietnam and the anti-war protests in... the war in gas as the fuel for the current demonstrations dictates its own rules, and although in palestine, unlike in vietnam, the american there are no military personnel, songs about peace and love are not heard at rallies on campus

vietnam was protests or about. korean war demonstrations there were student demonstrations. the difference between that demonstration and this demonstration is that the current demonstration is against the zionist regime. this is very important. this demonstration is now to support palestine, the oppression of palestine. this is different from the demonstrations that were against america during the vietnam war . there were demonstrations against america in some countries because, for example , they withdrew from vietnam, but now what today is against the zionist regime of all western governments. they are angry , especially because of the slogans that say they have an anti-jewish law and fine anyone who speaks against the zionist regime, but look at the situation today. when i see this situation, see how the soldiers violently beat the students. westerners, how could you do this? you accuse others of tyranny. their brutality is yours. now the west has lost its weapon. what was its weapon that it used against china, russia and iran ? this is democracy, human rights. they are

he emigrated from vietnam 45 years ago.ays this will not be his last. next year he plans to do over 58,000 situps in one go, one for each name on the vietnam memorial wall in breaking right now at five. chaos and clashes. protesters and police facing off on campus at ucla. now the classes canceled as violence and arrests start to mount this morning. and pro-palestinian protests continue at campuses all across the country. and now lawmakers are trying to get involved. a live report from

i was around during vietnam.as around during president lyndon johnson great society programs, they brought on vote rights he brought on -- the medicare, medicaid all of those things, that made us a great society. he was the internet of and all of that. went down the drain because of vietnam. will: all of the references to what happened in 1968 they do match up. it is a little uncanny because that pete and i are going to go off the wall on parallels between 2024 ands the protest of 1968. pete: yeah. details like rfk there's an rfk in both. timing, polls, yeah it is really -- rachel: parallels but these guys are old bernie sanders, so many of the top members of the democrat party they remember that time. and they're trying to -- to, you know, remind joe biden that this could be a replay. will: what's joe going to do about it, though, it doesn't feel like something he has an immediate answer to. where does it stop? let's ask some of them might have a thought on that. pete: hey shannon great to see you as always. how

i also spent time in vietnam. had two great-great-grandfather set served in the civil war and were fortunate to make it home and lived to their 80's. military people, they sacrifice their lives and away from their families. this is why our country is so great. host: terry in maryland, finishing off an hour and half of your calls on this memorial day and what it means to you. thank you to those who participated. ourour guest joining us throught the remainder of the program will reflect on the theme of today, especially on what it takes. our first guest is american battle monuments commission charles djou discusses the work of managing american battle monuments and graves around the world. later on we will meet marty scovlund and joe kent who discuss a book about a woman named shannon kent went on -- who went after high-value targets and the most dangerous regions on earth. that is next on "washington journal." ♪ >> today an unprecedented armada landed on the shores of normandy. >> these are the boys.

so, you know, looking at what happened in cambodia, laos, vietnam, what happened to, our own soldiers and actually really not just saying it in a cursory, which is what usually happens, but really trying to convey to readers like some of the things that really happened, you know, what was meaningful it. and i think that's one of the most elegant things that this book does is that it takes policy on one level. but you really see it impacts both american soldiers, americans society and the people of those countries as well. and i think that was a bit sort of two separate strains. the historiography. you bring them together in such an elegant way. i also like you, just adds that i learned from that. so i recently i was so interested in, you know, what happened in cambodia, not you know, i was on this campus when that happened. you know, everybody was horrified. but what what actually went on when u.s. troops came and very specifically happened in laos. and so as i started to like, look at that and try to find sources, which is one of the challenges finding sources could help you really g

guest: in vietnam, it was important to remember the vietnam's were not just against the draft and americans being sent over to fight, they were protests about america's involvement -- campuses involvement in the military-industrial complex, the relationships with war contractors, relationships with government agencies as well. there was a critique of american policy that spread far beyond the draft in the 1960's. the second thing is, the question whether campus protesters today are engaging in hate speech, setting aside the way the colleges characterize palestinians as a group which is a separate issue, but the question is whether these students are engaging in hate speech is an empirical, factual question. one of the things we know it is as the protests have grown, a number of eyes on these protests and cameras on these protests is huge. what we are seeing overwhelmingly in the course of the last week as they have grown is not that the students are engaging for the most part and hateful chance or yelling or anything like that. we are seeing very little evidence of that. the conflicts we ar

when nixon and kissinger began negotiations. with north vietnam in paris , it took several years tolowing approach was adopted: escalation for the sake of de-escalation, that is , the americans began bombing vietnam, cambodia, in order to push the vietnamese leadership to a peace agreement, i don’t know if trump is ready to do something like this, will he be ready to increase the amount of aid to ukraine? and stabilize the situation on the battlefield, because so far the situation is such that it is russia that is attacking, in a situation when one of the parties has the initiative, it is usually not very willing to negotiate. you said a number of other very important things: the first thing you recalled was that nixon, when he came to the conclusion that in order to get out of the vietnam war, a war that he did not want, he inherited it from president johnson, but nixon came to the conclusion that he had to use more force, heavy bombing, against north vietnam to get out of this war, the result was a terrible polarization of american society, which ultimately ultimately ruined nixon

it is very different from the previous demonstrations, we are not talking about vietnam, vietnam is over, but palestine continues, the story of palestine continues , the zionist regime, the crimes of the zionist regime continue, and until it is freed, this story will continue, and when it is freed, this demonstration will no longer be. thank you very much for pointing out the barbarism that exists in the zionist regime and its supporters . support international laws and international regulations. today, the representative of the zionist regime at the united nations, just a few hours ago , he did something with the charter of nations, which received a lot of attention and all the media are broadcasting his pictures. let's see the picture, we are ready, then we want to ask your opinion about it. so that you can see exactly what you are inflicting upon the un charter with this destructive vote. this is you are shredding the un charter with your own hands. yes, yes, that's what you're doing, shredding the un charter. shame on you, he said and packed his things and left. his shame is the sham

and vietnam and the expansion of american presence. to china as opposed to beijing.roject 100,000 appeared. targeted program for recruiting conscripts into the army who previously did not fit into the requirements due to physical or mental health problems. due to the shortage of conscripts, this became a necessity. popularly, this program was called “mcnamara’s morons” or “corps” of morons, because in 5 years there were more than 300,000 people with a low level. troops were sent, a significant portion of these people had difficulty surviving the stress of combat and were prone to aggression, one of them is shown in the stanley kubrick film full metal jacket. private homer kucha was not supposed to become a soldier in principle, but in the end he killed the company sergeant major and committed suicide. at the end of 1965 years, mcnamara began to realize the futility of further us military efforts. in may 67, he presented a memorandum to president johnson, in which he indicated that the war in vietnam was being lost at the political level, and six months later he left

the total casualty rate are roughly similar between, vietnam and korea, despite the fact that the vietnam war is conventionally dated to about, you know, almost 20 years, whereas the korean war is only three. so much, much deadlier and the north, as i think others, have mentioned already, because of this kind of bombing, i mean, after the military targets were more or less gone in the first few months of the war the bombing continued. and so i think some estimates put that about 20%, upwards of 20% of the north korean population were basically killed by the war. i mean, that's that's equivalent to the kind of casualty rates that i think the soviet union is known to have suffered by the end of world war two. so, you know, almost every single family was impacted by the war in the north and to this day, the does anyone know what the conscription years, the mandatory conscription for all bodied males in north korea today are it's 8 to 10 years. so basically your entire youth, more or less, is spent in the military and even for women who are not necessarily require to serve, many women actuall

vietnam war to cambodia. by the fall, the anti-war movement had grown off college's campuses to the mall in d.c. for us from the daily kent state or to decided to drive to washington d.c. to join the anti-war protests on november 15th. just a few weeks after our own homecoming. we arrived friday evening in time to watch people honoring the soldiers who had died in vietnam. that night, 18 of us slept in one room of a friend's dorm. our feet pointed in, in our heads out. the next morning, we headed to the mall and i was impressed by the size of the crowd and by their focus and steadfast just to be part of something. so big it would make the government take notice. well, this was my first trip to washington, d.c. everything was very new and exciting. the resentment of how familiar people of this continued war could be felt. as i moved my way through the crowd. their determination to have their voices heard was deafening. with the us capitol, the background of these protesters demanded an end to the war. i needed
