Green Berets Watch Hamburger Hill

Hamburger Hill the best underrated Vietnam war movie of all time.

EVERYTIME as a Brit i watch these two i think how great they are ...love them and their attitude, style and humour

Doc is the best and most tragic character in the movie. I always cry when I watch his last scene. 😢

Hamburger Hill by far the best Vietnam movie............

I was a FNG replacement after that battle, B CO 3/187 RAKKASANS 101st, what was told to me after the final assault there were 15 people left in the company.

This movie is an old school classic, Always love an FNG beers n breakdowns My wife just heard you guys talkin about the spank bank and started laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣

What's even more f*** up is that after we abandoned it the enemy reoccupied it and they had to do it all over again

one of the best war films ever. I’ve watched it so much I once knew the platoon sergeant’s monologue about why he keeps coming back to Vietnam, Republic of. excellent…now I get to watch you take. thanks!

Black troops were not segregated in the Army, there were certain states were segregation was still in practice during the Vietnam War.

When I was a teenager, I watched this film with a room full of Vietnam Veterans, including my father. One of my dads friends, who was there viewing the movie, was at this battle with the 101st. So that said, it was a little personal for him when viewing this film. This film really show how much the war was a shit show.

My dad is a Vietnam vet of the 173rd Airborne and fought at Dak To. He said this is one of the most realistic Vietnam movies.

As a kid I used to play with a hand disarmed hand grenade that my dad mailed home from Vietnam as souvenir 😁👍

Yep my Pop, 4th ID Quang Tri Province Bronze Star / Purple Heart. Nam was no joke. Then his sons serve during Mid-East conflicts. I’ll take that desert over the jungle any day. My Pops still goin strong to this day. 💪🇺🇸

One Vietnam war movie you guys should watch for a reaction is called casualties of war from 1989.Set in 1966 Its a true story referred to as the incident on Hill 192 of American squad that committed a horrific crime on a recon mission and the lone solider who was with thee squad refused to take part in the crime and his commitment to bringing justice. It was directed by Brian De Palama and stars Michael j fox, Sean Penn, John c Reilly , Ving Rames Dale Dye

I remember I did some jungle training and I remember trying to climb hills in wet mud and heat. I can’t imagine once you complete that task. You have to fight for your life.

Went to jungle school 6 times during in time in the US Army. Conducted many real world ops in the jungle I loved the jungle. Also fought in towns and cities in Somalia,Haiti, Iraq, and would rather fight in the jungle any day.

I Appreciate you guys talking about this film! Especially your take on the pointlessness of the entire operation. I’ve never understood why they didn’t just drop a shit ton of ordinance on that damn hill and flatten it. My father was Sgt. John Alvie Nicholas A Co, 1st BN, 506th Infantry, 101st Airborne Div. He was killed at Hamburger Hill on 17 May 1969. Worcester’s statement about dying for the man next to you always hit home with me. Thank you for your service and thank you for always speaking your mind!

My uncle was a sniper with the Army Rangers in Vietnam, and told me some wild stories before his passing.

There's a reason "Hamburger Hill" (Hill 937) isn't mentioned in the 101st's "Battle Rolls" during its Week of the Eagle in August. They only talk about the A Shau Valley as a whole. It was an immense waste of life for an objective that they would hand back over to the enemy not a week later, and then waste more life retaking again... The entire operation, as a whole, was in response to the Tet Offensive, and more specifically that the Valley was the conduit used to deploy NVA/VC troops towards Hue, which led to the several weeks long battle for the city. The operation's objectives were to destroy sensitive points in enemy logistics and infrastructure, defensive positions, communications hubs, logistical dumps of supplies, and to dislodge means of movement and coordination. The issue is that, like the last 5 years of the war, since 1964, the US Command echelons were, once again, underestimating the resolve and determination of the foe they were sending their enlisted and junior officers against. The NVA and VC both knew what this op was at its core, and both knew that this would just be one more battle in the "death by a thousand cuts". Already back home, the US just saw the disaster that was the Public Relations over the Tet Offensive between '68 and '69. Hill 937 was one of the points at which the NVA/VC made their stand, knowing the terrain and using their deeply fortified entrenchments and dug outs, they could avoid bombardments and ordnance runs, and then return to the firing line to rain hell on US infantry scaling the steep hillside. While, yes, US Troops FINALLY, after 36 hours of combat, managed to take the hill. It was subsequently abandoned, and thus reoccupied by NV forces. Which forced the 101st to, once again, assault and retake it. Following Westmoreland's directives on prosecution of the war, the entire Operation (as well as the last 5 years, as stated), were a conflict of attrition with no clear objective or point to take. The Tet Offensive, itself, shattered the intelligence illusion that the casualties being wrought upon the enemy were effecting their resolve and their numbers as a whole. The A Shau Valley proved that the enemy was still effective, potent, and capable, and were not giving in just because their Offensive failed militarily. If you look at Vietnam, it looks similar, in many respects, to how Afghanistan and Iraq were handled. While the directives were different, the hamstringing, ROE's, and intentional hand tying of the average US platoon in who, what, and when they can respond to an enemy, and how they went about "destroying" the enemy, seems intentional to the point where its assisting the enemy by default of feigned "incompetence".

So Hamburger Hill is quite famous, a lesser known but deadlier hill fight that happened 2 years before was Hill 875 during the Battle of Dak To. 173rd Airborne did the samething which resulted in 361 KIA’s, 15 MIA’s, 1441 wounded, 40 helicopters were shot down, 2 C-130’s, and a F-4C fighter jet. It took 20 days for the battle to end. ARVN lost 434 KIA’s, 1771 wounded, and 33 MIA’s. One of the worst battles of the Vietnam War but hardly anyone knows about it. Hamburger Hill only had 79 KIA’s but it happened after the Tet Offensive so the Media and Public jumped all over the story
