I was 10 in 1976 and was very much aware of the war. My mother cried when the POWs came home in 1973, even though we didn’t know anyone who served in Vietnam except for my Dad’s cousin who had returned in 1970. I had two neighbors, one on one side, one on the other that were Navy officers, but one was actually CIA, (I asked him), and we had an FBI agent across the street. I learned a lot just sitting on their front porches. In any case I always felt very attached to the war and the pows that were left behind, especially in Laos.

I was in Vietnam in 2020, amazing people wonderful country and very tolerant.

The inhumanity and cruelty is shocking but the acceptance and forgiveness is Totally Amazing! God Bless All Who Suffered. This is A Lesson That Should Be Remembered.

Amazing video. I think how fortunate we were to get you all home. Welcome home gentlemen!

This is an incredible video that I wish were a full length documentary! Such bravery going the first time, such courage to go back.

thank you for this video. thank you to all veterans.

A very fine bunch of gentlemen heroes. Thank you for your service. I am so glad you made it through.

Very moving for me . Thanks !

I think the POW chain of command did not want to participate, because of the torture to those left behind.

Linebacker II operation in 1972 was kept secret until U.S. allowed to publish in 1999. But Vietnam published in 2021. Battle of 1972 in Vietnamese version Battle of Dien Bien Phu Tren Khong. I watched to the end. Can't believe 30 years old radar 3cm made in 1942 was connected to Sam2 made in 1950 and then knocked down B-52 in real films during battle. In fairy, should mentioned electronic radar box of F-4, B-52 was repaired and then used it as part guidelines Sam2 missiles. At that time 1972, Soviet with Sam3,4,5 and 6 but won't send to Vietnam. I saw in films few U.S. pilot disrespect ill discipline. Used signs language time to time. No go home because their fault. Many MIA forever can't find because ill discipline. Attack NVA rob AK-47 that's why grenade in their mouth.

i mean no disrespect to any Nam vet that feels they have to go back there for whatever reason they have, but i would never set foot in that shthole country again.... 3rd Batt. 7th Marines ChuLai RVN. 10/65-11/66

@@TheMOAAChannel Yes I know it and thank you for the response. I am very curious about the two East German filmmakers and the production in general. The surviving POWs don't talk about it. It would be a fascinating topic for your channel. Thank you for the excellent work.

But wait, according to Coward Trump NONE of these men are heroes, remember? He says they're only heroes because they were captured. MAGA? Sickening.
