Vietnam War through The Things They Carried



Uploaded by: RugbyThrilla
Video Description:
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING!
A video presentation by Weinlein and Dwyer that investigates Tim O'Brien's perspective of the Vietnam War through his work, The Things They Carried. Submitted for Mr. Mody's American Experience class at Burnt Hills HS. Please keep in mind that despite some of the content and parts the lyrics, th
is site (and all those connected to my account) is intended for use by primarily high school students. This means I will not approve comments with vulgarity or with questionable, derogatory, or inflammatory content. I do understand that this may come off as hypocritical as there is some vulgarity i
n the song itself. You are free to comment on whether or not you like/agree with the video and/or the novel it is attempting to summarize. Criticism is fair game in my eyes, as long as it is insightful and in good taste. The song is "This is War" by Smile Empty Soul.

probably the most stupid war that the United States went to war in Iraq was but if it's true that the Vietnam War was an absolute nonsense.

For a video used with educational purposes in mind, If i understand it correctly, the caption uses very loaded language.
Primaraly the refrence to the 1 million Vietnamese Slaughtered. Also one should keep in mind that the estimated 1.2 million vietnamese death toll includes both south and north vietnamese. Where 800-900k where military.
The slide that ... ( 6 days ago by AirCav1967)
The slide that claims over one million VIetnam cililians "were slaughtered" as factually over the line of objective truth, and implies that the Americans were responisible for this.
It breaks my heart that the innocents, the civilians, always bear the brunt of any war. From my personal experience, I can't count the times we went into villages to find everyone killed by VC or NVA troops becase they suspected the people were collaborating with the U.S. Most of us tried our
best.

Russians and Americans took the "cold war" to Vietnam and killed millions with their weapons of mass destruction. After the Americans left, the Chinese invaded to spite the Russians. So it goes.

I personally think The Things They Carried is one of the best books ever written. As a veteran myself the way O'Brien describes the life, feelings and hardship of being a soldier is completely accurate.

you and most probably did. but it can't be ignored that our country did the samething. I'm not the type to say 100% of the people we sent were terrible but i'm not the type to say everything we did was good Most vets I talk to just get angry when I be reasonable about it. just once I want one to say yes, some things went on that weren't right. but you sound like you;d have a reasonable view on it, since you didn't totally flame that particular slide.
My God! WHY? Why ... ( 4 days ago by JusticeAlways1)
My God! WHY? Why are there men who would BLINDLY kill and be killed just because they should obey their insane president? That same president who entered this war after faking an attack on an american ship just to multiply the number of soldiers who'd go to war, "in order to defend their country". 9/11: same scenario. Those are all fake attacks. (" It was a faked attack on the americanship heading to North Vietnam", Samuel Halpern- Secret Operations, CIA when Lyndon Johnson was president.

do research about crimes of communism from soviets to china, VN, N korea and Cambodia. You will be surprised that the "bloodiest" US presidents are still ten times better than the "nicest" commie leaders you like. If you don't believe me just spend a day to learn first before fuming the nonsense. Best if you move to cuba or N korea to live for a month

I watched your video and it broke my heart. That is what I hope it does for everyone who watches it. When we see these images we need to feel the pain that is so evident in peoples faces in these pictures. If we ever become numb to these images we are truely lost as a civilization. I know my tears will never be enough to wash away all this pain but I add my tears to all the rest and perhaps we will someday be clean. I write this in memory of my uncle, James Gaddy, a Vietnam vet.

The next war will be fought on your streets.. You will see firsthand the same things you have seen wrought on other countries. When the global agenda decides it's time for me and you to die, we will die. Some of us will choose to die fighting; YES for an ideal, YES for a nation of spoiled people, YES for a nation that in its ignorance has allowed the enemy to take over its seat of power. Your parents voted this ignorance in and someday Americans will have to struggle to survive. Again. Peace
