Actually this might have been better as Video of Tet Offensive! Now I am totally new to this, so apologies if everyone has seen this a thousand times. Other than Quantrill's Raiders I have not moved beyond Napoleonics in 30 years. But I found this history Channel one hour Documentary on the Tet Offensive and its coverage of Hue is superb. You have to get past Saigon, the Embassy and Cholon OK. But now, in HUe, I see Cheatham with his goggles (as modelled by Empress and Gringos40) and Christmas with his RTO (one of my favourite Gringos40 figures). You get to see the Mule with the recoilless rifle. The interview where the correspondent ducks and the officer does not even blink. The Grease gun seen at 5.59 secs in the second episode. The statement that it turned cold and wet. I always wondered why we suddenly saw Marines in that navy waterproof with long sleeves, under the flak jacket. This is worth a watch….. YouTube link |

It is really good. The History Channel has done a number of good episodes on Vietnam interviewing true heroes of the conflict. They are to be commended for documenting as much as they have before these people all die. Field grade officers from Vietnam are starting to become rare. General officers even more so. I have several DVDs from History Channel Vietnam episodes that I watch over and over. Tom |
