1968: The Grim US Tank Battles For Vietnam Greatest Tank Battles Timeline

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
During the later years of the Vietnam War, the NVA employed its own armor, fighting tank against tank to decide the war's fate Robert: The RPG (12: 20) was a weapon that was new to the Americans at that time. The first iteration faced by US forces was the RPG-2 (sometimes called the B-40 rocket) and this weapon killed my cousin in 1969. He was not in a tank but a 100 foot long US Navy ammo ship with 10 other crew. He was assigned to the Riverine force (the brown water navy) and at the time the ship was at a place called Bridge ramp at Danang, which even then was supposedly controlled by friendly forces. The Vietnams really knew their stuff it would seem, when they hit this ammo ship with several RPG rockets it blew sky-high. Amazingly one guy actually survived being blown up somehow (maybe he got thrown clear) but they never found a trace of the other 10 guys. I saw images, the ship was blown into pieces, the hull into two big hunks of scrap. My cousin was just 19 and his life ended before it could really even start, and for what? Just like Biden's exit from Afghanistan, another wasted and futile cause.

In the nature of Communism it is highly unlikely that the men carrying guns are also Commies. Sympathetic to some policies (land redistribution, national autonomy, etc) or fellow travellers perhaps but most I believe were freedom fighters who really needed better Generals; and men of that calibre aren't usually political. e. g. Giap wouldn't be out of place if he had a command in Europe during WW1.

RPG is essentially a reusable grenade launcher
Never heard of a disposable grenade launcher. And that's just fundamentally wrong. Rockets are different from cartridge launched grenades. And the RPG was designed to be disposable. Where do they find these idiots.

My buddies dad was a green beret during Vietnam he was a crazy sob we had to watch around him any sudden loud noises around him and he would lay you out flat and you could see that he was in days passed in his head it was quite scary sometimes

Only time will be there for you.
When you look back on your life. And you count the days and mark your ways
With bullets, bombs and knife.
Take care you children. Beware, before
Because one day, itll be your first time at war.

Sam was lying in the jungle,
Agent Orange spread against the sky like marmalade,
Half his fingers are mixed with someone's crop,
They were praying to be saved. - Lou Reed - New York 1989.

An interesting video because tanks are one of the least common or iconic images of the Vietnam War. Everyone pictures helicopters, napalm, PT boats and infantry crawling through the jungle.

without the peace talks the US would have won the war, rolling thunder 1, 2 was just about to break their will to fight then we stopped to talk, they rebuild and the cycle repeated

Does anyone know what Rambo uses to beat Vietnam? I think Rambo is much better than Winston Churcill. Americans proud to have such hero like him, Superman on real life

Yeah, some communists they turned out to be. One of the most capitalist countries in SE Asia despite what they might claim. Prime vacation destination.

the m48 was not really that good, it was basically just a updated ww2 Pershing. i was surprised a 76mm could knock one out being dug in even
reply

Thank the gods for the Vietcong. They proved that imperialism can be halted no matter how bleak the circumstances are.
reply

The US Army has some kind of a grudge against guys in flip flops and sandals. They are fighting them still to this day.
reply

To be unified and independent! The Communist narrator means to be under a Communist brutal regime dependent on Moscow.
reply

Still to this day the USA feels embarrassed about the Vietnam War as a whole because of how much was lost
