Tet Offensive was a tactical failure but a strategic victory that sent shockwaves to the world for Vietnam. Prime examples of, not all failures are bad.

Iran Iraq war in eastern Europe

@The_whales nah more like task failed, unexpected outcome

@ballsdeep7056 paint it black or gimme shelter is better.

The war of Afghanistan in a nutshell: America: You done yet? Insurgents: nah dawg America: aight ima just head out. Ana, you got this ANA:

@rabd3721 So, you think the US bombs places willy nilly? Research ROE, research the cost of am AK in Iraq(2 cigarette packs), research surgical room clearing, research visual enemy ID with drones.
11
@TheCookieplant Broken Arrow has many meanings.
7
@rabd3721 Most likely caused by the Taliban for supporting the US government and if you didn't notice that Vietnam executed 3 million civilians after the war for supporting the US. The US sends 8.5k troops so do you think they were to occupy a country? No, they were to train the ANA to fight, but they were smoking too much hash and got wasted.

@outofturn331 I find jokes be the number 1 source of paranoia and misinformation in the world.

@Psychedelic Otter Turtle Trump was good compared to the other dude that was elected.
5
@zat5176 if it was for oil explain why the US left completely in 2011.
5
@GN M In Korea it's pro-USA because look at North Korea as nobody even the Chinese doesn't want to live there. Also, I am Asian with parents from Hong Kong.
5
@factsandtruth9917 Iraq committed human rights abuses and since al queda was there, the US invaded. Also, read the book Geneeration Kill.

If you ask anyone from America before the peace deal Trump signed about what is going on in Afghanistan, most are going to be like, what's Afghanistan?

@Cyril Uh, no buddy it's just that the military is a well integrated brotherhood of people which removes morale issues such as having a defeatist.
3
@No_0neTruly I just do it for fun
3
GRIFON HOW'D YOU GET THE MAG SIZES WRONG? Good vid, just the mag sizes on the M16s triggered me.
3
@mrM-cr8me Iraq ain't a puppet state, the country is ran by Islamic people that are Sunni and Shia.
3
Why marines are superior to the army. Marines play hard, fight hard, and do the hardest missions. While in the Army they are woke, people. That Emma ad cough cough
3
@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ I only proposed an alternate timeline.
2
@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ I am not ignorant at the fact of the possibility the US gets nuked my guy and the soviets have a hard time nuking the US as the US have new interceptors to hit high flying soviet aircraft.
2
@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ Would you call Douglas McArthur ignorant then? As he is the one that suggested the idea and he is a superior human being to you.
2
@Spider-Too-Too napoleon wrote history and lost, iran lost the iran iraq war yet we took their history, russia too when the soviet union colapsed, finland losing the winter war yet wrote history and more.
2
@johannthedeceitful5968 They used the M16A2 instead of the M16A1 in many scenes. The two rifles look very different and I am surprised how this was allowed to happen.
2
@mcperson8455 are you freaking high? The M16A2 was introduced in the 80s
2
30 Round mag, disgusting, they used the M16A2
2
@InquisitorialOperator the Iraq war was for the U.S. to make an ally in the middle east and the U.S. was successful in that. The Afghan War was meant to destabilize and topple a Saudi terror group in Afghanistan, after that was done it was focused on stabilizing the country.
2
@RoySpray Kosovo? Korea? Iraq? Panama? Libya? And more.
2
@hoanghai5195 Spirit of nationally, yeah right, the NVA started to make military gains when the US pulled out in 1973 and it still took then 2 years to take the south even though no US support was with the ARVN post 1973.
2
@MessiPistola22 US ain't imperialist, the US gets 40% of oil imports from Canada with 6% from Iraq. Plus look at Botswana's resource deposit. The oil+resource falicy is a meme and is disproven.
2
@lengocbaothinh2553 not to mention Operation Hastings in which both sides have heavy artillery and the PAVN were heavily armed and the area in the AO was flak alley making helicopters being shot up easily. Not to mention Khe Sanh in which the US survives getting hit with very big artillery guns and the US used as a staging point, but was shot down due to Tet causing the base to be shot down.
2
@lengocbaothinh2553 during Hamburger Hill there were reports of the US holding the summit after the battle plus the PAVN were on the defenses this time plus weather preventing air support.
2
 @saiganesh7502 yo you got a source for that? You also gotta factor in the insurgent's warcrimes.
2
Can't wait till people destroy this video by saying that its Argentina's perspective.
2
I blame the ANA as they surrendered on mass which led to the Taliban taking over the country.
2
@nonexistantman5797 did you know vietnam is very respectful towards vietnam war American veterans.
2
@MR.random57 You can't really do that without shattering ISLAM, but ok. Not to mention Islan and Christianity are at eachother's throats.
1
In my honest opinion we could've nuked china and the Soviet union didn't have good bombers to hit the US so I think we could've succeeded with nuking China and invading China.
1
@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ I mean look at Soviet aircraft for the time. I said planes as they didn't have ICBMs at the time.
1
@BlueRaven2424 What are the aircraft stats for the time?
1
@xcept7355 Iran didn't drop our stealth bomber and it was in Yugoslavia that had lots of Russian SAMs. Plus, if you read the report, the F117 got hit by losing stealth thanks to bomb bay doors. You can even try that yourself. Not to mention the F117 used 70s tech and was low observable and manual guidance is a thing.

@octopussmasher2694 russians

@ZK-ff2ru have you ever been to war i am curious.
1
@doubled57690 i remember there being a nobel peace prize winner escaping opression from terrorists in the middle east for being female.
1
@analyticalmindset no more of that BS thinking now boy because Iran is like time for war and now we gotta think about Iran as they want to go to war against the US and allies. Benefit for us when iran is declaring war is that afghanistan would get less attention and iraq is holding its own and Iran is heavily focusing on iraq but this sounds dumb on what i wrote.
1
@d.cypher2920 I am ashamed that the politicians is gonna lose us ever war now.
1
@alhaamomary1723 That is literally my thinking also yah got discord?
1
@johannthedeceitful5968 It is a critical error for his quality
1
@johannthedeceitful5968 they are. It's glaringly obvious. Look at the forward irons, handgaurd, and the mag. It looks like a completely different gun with the simple swap from Triangular to Round handgaurd.
1
@mcperson8455 common sense would be, "what the heck are you on? "
1
@extremel.z.s3140 Strictly 20 rounds only. The only times 30 round mags were used were for experimental purposes and saw rare use in combat. Plus you can look at all the Nam footage and see 0 30 round mags on M16A1s.
1
Pls stop covering well known events. Like a literal movie was made about the event that a lot of people watched.
1
@TheCookie69 If the film got two awards and made double the production value, then a lot of people in the early 2000s are going to know the film. I feel that it is better to cover lesser known major events in the world, such as the uprisings in the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War or the Battle of Wanat. Battle of Wanat dictated the nature of conflict in Afghanistan. I just see that posting stuff about popular historical topics is a cashgrab and doesn't add anything new to the table in a digestible manner. I think the Rawanda video, Fallujah, and Rhodesia was a much better topic selection due to lack of general media presence.
1
@profinneupane6883 that's not the point of my statement though. And Mark Bowden's book does exsist and the fact that the event happened at all is embarrassing. The point of the statement is to focus on other topics that weren't already covered a lot by mainstream media.
1
@marine5166 dumbest comment of the century
1
@marlonmoncrieffe0728 Johnny Harris content says otherwise
1
@virginialoverproductions mainly al Queda, but many these days forget that exsists
1
@virginialoverproductions still forgotten though
1
@baghi536 but they attack us though.
1
@FeatheredDino imagine a United States of Afghanistan
1
 @claydogg234 no, the U.S. should've gotten Afghanistan to have a national identity that people actually want to follow.
1
 @joeswanson5486 what was part of that trillion spent? Was it totaling for the value of equipment sent? It also counts the value of the old M16A2 rifles sent.
1
Vietcong versus GIs
1
@outofturn331 nah
1
@Clippidyclappidy no, it is not. You take memes for fact. Statistically the U.S. kills more Vietnamese and sent them packing into the tunnels. This is fact. What is also fact was that regardless of the casualties, Northern resolve and the propaganda machine kept the rural areas of Vietnam kn their side along with massive aid dumping by the PRC and USSR.
1
@patrickjennings7362 we didn't fund the ARVN after 1973
1
@Jay-jb2vr Not really because Vietnam is basically a colony of America right now as they produce goods for Americans at a low cost whilst begging the Americans for aid against China in the 21st Century.
1
@arthas640 Phillipines and Vietnam meat ride the USA for protection.
1
@anhvutuan535 I can respond with a single book called Hue, 1968 By Mark Bowden. The guy interviewed several planners of the Tet Offensive. It was meant to spark a revolution. Not send a message. The other statements regarding how the Tet Offensive was made to question the if the U.S. could win came from western media. Not the NVA nor PAVN.
1
Only 3.5k coalition deaths and that is fairly low.
1
@panzern777 Fun fact japan was supposed to be partially owned by Russia.
1
@hendrikvanleeuwen9110 Tet was considered a failiure by their own planners.
1
@hoanghai5195 Man your incompetence levels are through the roof, the US didn't invade North Vietnam because of Paris peace talks and the NVA sent Crack units to bypass the treaties.
1
@bigvinnie3 fun fact, US declared war on Japan and Germany declares war on the USA. Also cite your source.
1
@DontWalkRunProduct tbf that one was very fast
1
@lengocbaothinh2553 your wrong on it lol, look lz Albany, the PAVN had the upper hand and the US couldn't use air support yet yall couldn't wipe em out.
1
@lengocbaothinh2553 explain how 3rd tank battalion survived the night being held by the buckle without infantry support. Tanks are useless without infantry support yet survived.
1
@lengocbaothinh2553 Fire Support Base Illingworth in Tay Ninh province, South Vietnam on Apr. 1, 1970. The perimeter is overun and hand to hand combat is initiated and the US came out on top.
1
@lengocbaothinh2553 not to mention An Loc in which the south were against T54's and came out on top and Hamburger Hill in which a fortified enemy became immune to airstrikes thanks to being dug in so much won the battle still.
1
@ronin6100 no, it was for stabilization. Obama announced the 2016 withdrawal until it was canceled due to a taliban resurgence causing instability.
1
@dakota2327 they got unlucky, considering many servicemembers haven't fought.
1
@bradsanders407 well then, explain the civil war that was ongoing literally before the U.S. conflict. The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan is an intervention to support the Northern Alliance.
1
@parsa6526 not all as the US history book was written by a german from ww2 that fought for the reich. Napoleon is a good example too.
1
@parsa6526 hitler wrote history after ww1
1
if you guys complain about propaganda, explain the news reporters and documentation of harsh resistance and tthe need to withdraw and use heavy air support.
1
Can't wait for the angry Vietnamese video
1
@MidnightSlayz l
1
There were SPUDS and Chemicals though, after the Israeli SCUD attacks by Iraq and Chemials used in the Iran Iraq war.
1
@aido2824 The US' mission was completed in 2014 and Operation Resolute Support happened after which was to train the ANa
1
@Guidance_seeker Yet you won't do the same stuff as they do as your too scared. Idc where you live. You probably wouldn't fight as hard as them.
1
So Iraq really did have chemicals and WMDs.
1
@maxtomlinson8134 but they did Nationbuild, Afghanistan was in its best condition since the Afghan Coup during the Cold War.
1
@wanderingtf2314 The Iraqis wanted the US to invade, but a government ran by Islamic Minorities are the people mad.
1
@oaples8790 ISIS is dead in Iraq, when was the last major news about Iraq? Oh right 2019.
1
@danfernandezdec7456 Vietnam is an ally of the US today for some reason.
1
@malakatan3235 Iraqis actually wanted the US to invade, it's just that we set up a government ran by a Islamic Minority.
1
@oaples8790 My point is, Iraq isn't a failed state and is becoming a successful country. Tell me when was the last major battle in Iraq and tell me how much Teritory is in governmental control in 2019. Also, ISIS is gone right now in Iraq, but not in some parts of Africa and the Philippines, well the Fillipinos are doing a number on ISIS right now and French Foregin Legion doing combat in Africa.
1
@bharatv5563 I only have issues with mag sizes.
1
In my opinion do Operation Linebacker 3 which is to do a mass bombing campaign and ground deployment to retake the majority of the country again to get everyone out and let the ANA manage the country while the UN evacuates.
1
@ccole5386 Yah know, who's fault is it that fighting takes place in a city instead of the country side? Oh right its ISIS.
1
@mrM-cr8me When did the US invade Iran I ask?? Not the SOF raid, like an actual invasion.
1
@cristobalzamorano377 Nah Marines better
1
@cristobalzamorano377 tbh I actually live in America and the only issues I have are harsh parents that want me to do a good, social life, and parents not allowing me to do my drams. My parents are Asian and their parenting is basically beating me when I do something wrong to mold me into a hard person. I realize that people in America complain too much and should be thankful for what they have such as wifi etc. The American economy is so powerful that poor and homeless people can get fat.
1
@cristobalzamorano377 what you think about what I said? People fight wars because of what is with them. Not in front nor behind
1
@GN M Going through your channel you sound Asian so are you Asian? I am too.
1
@GN M in my opinion south korea won the war because look at it now compared to North Korea.
