My High School Agriculture teacher was a Tank Crewman in WW11, he said the smell of blood could never be washed out of the damaged tanks.
We can never know what these men went through, thank you for sharing this.

Too bad that poster closed his youtube account... That's the only reason it isn't posted.

I tend to believe that people who have lived the life of a soldier and seen war through the eyes of a soldier really don'tlike looking at war again. I always have a fear that I will see a face of someone I knew who was not as lucky as me. Korea was cold, Vietnam was hot, and both were horrible.

I know what you mean, Sawyer. I never went over, but clearly knew many men who did in the 60's. I did get at one time a list of all fatalities of the Viet Nam war, and there were names that seemed to be the same as men I knew. But, I will never know for sure.

Here is one of several soviet made tanks that crashed through the front gates of the government headquarters of saigon south vietnam in april 1975.

Two places i would not want to be in a war....tanks, submarines.
