Thank you Kurt for showing Khe Sanh. My father fought there in 1968 with the United States Marine Corps. I've always wondered what it was like there. He came home after that but was never the same. You could always see at certain times of year he would replay that battle 1000 times over in his head. I hope that your guide at Khe Sanh someday finds his father and can find some closure and have peace one day.

You're wrong. The Gulf of Tonkin incident was fabricated to justify U.S. involvement in the war. The U.S. installed Ngo Dinh Diem as a puppet president in South Vietnam, advocating for the entry of American troops. The media often cites communism as the reason for our involvement, but the real motive was to access oil and exploit Vietnam's resources. Sadly, many soldiers lost their lives for a cause that was unjustified.

you meet such beautiful people, visit special places without hesitation; I'm jealous but I watch with a big smile. Keep going Kurt, the world needs you!

Absolutely fantastic people in Vietnam, was there myself last year . Very welcoming and friendly

The great thing about your videos is that sometimes you correct people on how to be proud of their heritage, no matter the circumstances.. that’s very honourable and actually needed to thrive in the future.. cheers bro

I saw all of your video's Kurt, and for me the Vietnamese People appears as the most friendly and welcoming of all the countries you been too.. I love there energy!

Epic move with the uniform, and helmet, you’re crazy brother. Laughed a lot, thank you.

When you pay for your beers and petrol you lend them a hand full of money but never seem to take more then its worth. very honest and nice people.

last time germany was proud of their heritage, my grandpa became argentinien.

Facts... Nowadays in Germany, UK you have more Palestinian flags than native ones, it's fucking embarrassing what we Europeans have become.

The Kabal has been trying to wipe out the Aryans for a very long time. The biggest lie of the last 100 years is of ww2 and the "H" word. The "H" word wasn't even used until the 60s. If your family didn't leave, then there's a good chance that you wouldn't be here today. Salem 💙

I am Australian and have been married to my Vietnamese wife since 2006. We have two teenage kids together. My father inlaw was an NVA soldier and had to walk from North to South to fight. He was wounded in battle, shot in the leg by the ARVN (South Vietnamese fighting on the side of the Americans).

The Americans were fighting on the side of South Vietnam against communism

The kindness of people offering him tea. And he’s so lovely with them. ❤

That C-130A (Georgia ANG 56-0532) was intended to fly out the last remaining US personnel at Khe Sanh but had mechanical issues so it was abandoned in place. Another C-130 was sent to pick them up. So this aircraft would have been the last USAF aircraft to leave Vietnam but instead forever rests at Khe Sanh.

My sister n law is half Vietnamese and American from the war. She is wonderful and we are blessed 💙

That’s awesome to meet some veterans from Vietnam. Wish we could hear some of that guys stories. Today he is blessed with a big beautiful family. Thank you Kurt for these videos. You’re a Legend 🙏🏽

Yeah. Well many of Vietnam war stories are very tragic and not great memories. VIetnam is a very green lush country but that war was extremely horrific. I served in the military and some of the Vietnam War personnel still active duty told us some horrible stories that you wouldn't want to experience first hand. War is not entertainment.

Wow, this is amazing, so happy to see the Vietnam vet welcome you into his home to meet his family and drink tea! Kurt you are a legend!

Really kind people. Also how awesome that you can just hold out a wad of cash and each person was only taking a small amount, the looks on their faces were telling me they were giving you cheaper prices too.

Every time Kurt uploads im glued to the screen which rarely happens, this channel and shiey are the travel channels that i have to watch to start to end. Awesome commentary and beautiful places and people. Much love from finland! ❤

brother you're an inspiration to all of us, whenever I travel I do the same things you do, meet new people go places where tourists are inexistant and live the local life with the people. Watching your videos make me wanna travel so bad

Kurt keep sharing your light with the world and you will continue to be received so wholeheartedly. And always a history lesson to boot cheers mate!

Good to see you again.. like the good old KURT! Keep up the good work bro! You are the best traveler youtuber!

Wow the hospitality in Vietnam stood out to me right away, especially considering Kurt’s features looking like a typical American 😂😂 but seriously blown away such proud, humble & great people‼️not that I expected anything less but I’m truly amazed at the kindness & hospitality from every single person u encountered, such beautiful & amazing people u can just feel the love through the phone & that speaks volumes‼️💙 god bless Vietnam 🇻🇳 & the Vietnamese people 🇻🇳🙏🏼❤️

Lucky him. My father was drafted and was in Vietnam for a year. He witnessed around 25+ members from his unit die, and eventually got severe Dengue Fever and had to be removed from the combat zone. The PTSD from the war f-cked him over for the rest of his life. ..... War=Profit for the rich, the poor get screwed over.

one of my favourite videos of yours, love the information you're giving and great stories from people

Great video Kurt - really enjoyed your Vietnam trip - strange place but such an experience.

No stupid edits, no effects. Just a man and his camera on the road. 1.1milliok views and counting.

Vietnamese families are very warm and inviting. I'm glad the grandfather got to tell his story to Kurt.

strangers hospitality is so heart warming

Favorite KZreadr Kurt. You are a g and living one of my dreams. Maybe one day
