    I have an uncle who did 4 tours in Vietnam, believe me you would not have wanted to be there during the war.

    Why would you want to have been in Vietnam?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭619C


    Vietnam is a country not a war.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Vietnam is still there, afaik.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,325 ✭✭✭ItsAWindUp


    No, not really. Is there any reason I should?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,940 ✭✭✭Corkfeen


    Yep, we all have dreams of painting it black in Vietnam or were you aiming for more of a Full Metal Jacket Vietnam? Me love you long time, two dollar, two dollar. :D

    That smell of Napalm isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    Whenever I think of Vietnam I picture a helicopter landing, I don't know why. And Paint it Black, what a song.

    I picture the footage of people trying to get off the roof of the American Embassy into choppers before the Viet Cong reached them.

    Vietnam is a wonderful country. Was there a summer ago. So I do wish I was in Vietnam but not in the ridiculous way that the OP does.

    My dad used to tell me he fought in Vietnam when I was a kid and I idolised him for it, the lying bastard!
