In 1965, U.S. Marines were deployed simultaneously in two hemispheres—Vietnam and the Dominican Republic—facing relentless warfare and political unrest.
From intense firefights in the jungles of Southeast Asia to the violent streets of Santo Domingo, they fought not just for survival but for global influence in the Cold War.
Amidst sniper fire, brutal conditions, and impossible terrain, these young soldiers showcased unparalleled bravery. Through devastating battles, daring rescues, and the relentless march of war, this is the untold story of a year that changed military history—a year of sacrifice, heroism, and the brutal cost of duty.

Heard this line some time ago: "Marines land first! A beach master greets them and points where to go."

BS propaganda film. We had no valid excuse to lose 50,000 of our soldiers and marines, our youth and over a million Vietnamese (mostly civilians). We were lied to!
The background music…wow..no.
Another lost war for WARmerica terrorists.2018 study: The US regime has killed between 20-30 MILLION people after WWII, mostly civilians.
These Marines were tough, but was the Vietnam War really about freedom? Or just stopping communism at any cost? Many died for a war we didn’t even win. Heroes? Yes. But was it worth it? 🤔
Les marines ne sont pas rentrés plus fort mais toxicomane à cause de l’opium 😮

War is a racket, Smedley Butler: only the banks and mega-corporations win, at the cost of many lives and mangled minds.
A year later Robert Garwood was 10 Days from coming back to the USA when he was caught at a roadside looking at a map.
You can thank LBJ's PERSONAL LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD for STUPIDITY WHEN JFK WAS SMART ENOUGH TO START BRINGING 'ADVISORS' HOME. THE BAY OF PIGS FIASCO WHICH'D BEEN A BLOODLESS COUP PLAN BY CIA DEPUTY DIRECTORS DULLES & DEPUTY DIRECTOR AIR FORCE GENERAL CHARLES PIERRE CABELL WHO WAS THE BROTHER OF THE MAYOR OF DALLAS EARLE CABELL WHO WAS THE 3RD CABELL TO BE A MAYOR OF DALLAS. 3 SERVED 13 TOTAL YEARS AS MAYOR OF DALLAS.
NO ONE FROM THE PRESS NOTICED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SAME FAMILY NAME CABELL 5 TERMS AS DALLAS MAYORS NAMED CABELL. EARLE CABELL HAD THE POWER AS MAYOR TO PUT THE SHARP TURNS, CURVES, TWISTS IN THAT PLAZA ALONG THE WALL & FENCE NEAREST TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LIMOUSINE WITH THE GOVNER & PRESIDENT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. IF EITHER WIFE WERE SHOT IT'D BEEN DONE BETTER THAN THE LBJ SOLUTION.
MAYOR EARLE CABELL WAS BROTHER TO JFK'S FIRED CIA DEPUTY DIRECTORS DULLES & DEPUTY DIRECTOR AIR FORCE GENERAL CHARLES PIERRE CABELL WHO WAS ON TDY-TO THE CIA- THOSE FAGOTING TWO TRIED TO MAKE JFK SIGN OFF ON AIR 'SUPPORT' TO HELP A FEW CUBANS WHO SEEMED TO THINK WE OWED THEM SOMETHING & WERE PUSHY ABOUT IT. REGARDLESS OF THE LOPSIDED DYNAMIC OF RICH VS POOR THAT WAS NOT THE WAY IT HAD BEEN SINCE THE REVOLUTION.
MAYOR EARLE CABELL WAS THE BROTHER OF CIA & AIR FORCE GENERAL FIRED-AS WELL AS DULLES & BISSELL BUT DALLAS WAS PROUD OF THAT OIL-GAS WEALTH CITY.
IF JFK HAD ACQUIESCED TO THE WANTS OF THE CIA & AN AIR FORCE GENERAL CHARLES PIERRE CABELL WAITING TO BE GIVEN THE SIGNOFF TO ATTACK CUBA.VIET NAM WAS THE SAME DYNAMIC: 65% OF THE PEOPLE IN THE NORTH WITH ONLY 35% OF THE DIRT TO GROW FOOD & IT WAS THE OPPOSITE IN THE SOUTH: 35% OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAD 65% OF THE LAND.
LBJ WAS A DIK & A RICH OIL MAN PAID OFF HIS BANKRUPTCY COURT COSTS AS WELL AS OWNED TEXAS' SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY BUILDING! ED CLARK-THE RICHEST MAN IN OIL GAS IN TEXAS. WHAT DOES AN IDIOT LIKE LBJ HAVE TO DO WITH THE KILLING OF VIÊT NAM THAT WAS NOT VERY LIKELY TO BE WISHED FOR.
WE SHOULD HAVE LEFT VIÊT NAM ALONE BUT WE'RE NOT A SMART NATION & IKE SAID THAT IN HIS LAST SPEECH TO THE PEOPLE OF THESE 50 STOLEN UNITED STATES AS HIS LAST SPEECH TO US. JFK WAS SMART ENOUGH TO STAND HIS GROUND REFUSING TO LET AIR FORCE GENERAL CABELL & ALLEN DULLES OF THE CIA-ATTACK CUBA.
EARLE CABELL MAYOR OF DALLAS ALTERED THE MOTORCADE ROUTE, PUT IT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF ALL PAPERS IN DALLAS WITH THE TURNS, CURVES, CLEARING L J FROM THE LINE OF FIRE. INTERESTING?
MADE JFK JUST A FEW YARDS FROM THE WALL & RR FENCE TO THE TRX & 3 'HOBOS'- SAID WHO…‽ NOT EVEN PRINTED OR PHOTOS TAKEN‽ WHY NOT?
ROGER DEAN CRAIG DEPUTY SHERIFF & ALL OTHERS WERE TOLD THEY WERE ALLOWED TO WATCH THE MOTORCADE BUT NOT TO DO ANYTHING ☝️IF THEY HEARD ANYTHING. THAT'S NOT AN HONEST SHERIFF'S ORDERS.
ROGER DEAN CRAIG WAS ALMOST KILLED BY COPS IN DALLAS FOR TALKING TO THE PRESS AFTER HE & BUDDY WALTHERS FOUND 3 EMPTY BULLET CASINGS LINED IN A ROW: ||| ON THE FLOOR.
VIÊT NAM DIDN'T WANT TO GO TO WAR. AMERICA TOOK IT IT TO VIÊT NAM AFTER LBJ WAS IN THE BLOODY COUP FOR JFK'S JOB. VIÊT NAM SAW THE 'AMERICAN WAR' AS THE SAME AS THE FRENCH SISSIES. THE VIÊT NAMESE DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO FIGHT FOR THE REST OF THEIR OWN LIVES.
THANK LBJ, OIL GAS MONEY POWER FOR THE WAR. THE AMERICANS LOVE TO BULLY, HAVE WARS. I WENT TO VIÊT NAM AS AN ESL TEACHER TO HELP THEM IN THE 6 MONTHS BEFORE 9/11 & IT LOOKED LIKE WW 3 WAS COMING AFTER 9/11- A BIG DEAL FOR THE USA.
IRAQ WANTED NO WAR W/ USA.
WATCH A DOCUMENTARY ON VIÊT NAM & HOW POOR THEY WERE CALLED "EXPENDABLE: Abandoned POWS In Viêt Nam" by Tribal Action Group. It'll Tell you the Truth. It's not right to have to fight American professional Soldiers. JFK DIDN'T WANT TO BE A KNUCKLE DRAGGING COUNTRY & BEAT UP THE REST OF THE WORLD
Not just bullets and bombs — it was heat, fear, and the unseen enemy.
