Vietnam 101 | 60 Minutes Archive

Thank you for posting this! My Dad never spoke of Vietnam to me. He wouldn’t even claim he was a Veteran due to survivors guilt. He eventually passed away after a 15 year battle with stage 4 cancer, likely caused from agent orange. Feels like we keep repeating things on all levels.

I taught history for 43 years. Whenever possible, I made sure I put the Vietnam War in the syllabus.

Amazing to watch the emotions of these young students. It brought a tear to my eye and warmth to my heart. I salute the young people of this video. A Vietnam vet.

I'm a 70 yr old woman and I don't know enough about the viet nam war! Thank you, professor, for arranging this class and teaching the truth about the war. I wish I could be in your class.

This video was recorded only 12 years after the war ended.

“War is hell.” General William Tecumseh Sherman. Thoughts and prayers to all Vietnam war veterans (living and deceased). ❤️🙏🏼

I was one of the lucky ones my father made it back, god bless the fallen and America. 🙏🇺🇲

War is not a solution....its a disease of the mind and heart..... May God grant peace to the victims and thier family and may their Souls RIP.
