For those who want to know what the war was really like, these colorized photos help give a better idea than ever before! Unless you were really there, these photos are the closest most will ever come to experiencing the terrors of the Vietnam War.

Many of these photos show the types of entertainment that were available to American troops situated in Vietnam. Of course, the majority of entertainment was provided in the form of USO shows. Many of these shows were hosted by Bob Hope and featured one or more attractive female celebrities. There was also a USO show that went by the name of the “Miss America Show”, and it featured pageant winners dancing suggestively for the troops.
It wasn’t all fun and games during the Vietnam War, as evidenced by the photos that show what it was like on the front lines.

Lũ xâm lược phải trả giá…..
Pat Sajak on wheel of fortune was a real good morning Vietnam DJ that’s how he got his start and show business
My dad was in Vietnam twice. In the first one he said he had a pet monkey. This monkey came to him everyday to get a cracker from his tent.
I was going through my teens during the Vietnam War expecting to be drafted and sent there after I turned 18. Ironically, the war ended in the spring of 1975 and when I turned 17 years old my parents signed for me to join the service in the autumn of 1976. I'll always be thankful to President Jimmy Carter for being a peacetime president. Training for war is still easier than fighting a war.
Wait, according to this video, the Americans were fighting the Vietnamese during the Viet Nam War? "Lyndon Johnson told the nation 'I am trying everyone to please/And though it isn't really we're sending 50,000 more, to save Viet Nam from the Vietnamese'".—Tom Paxton
My two favorite cousins were in Vietnam. They were at least 14 years older than me. Bobby, later had cancer three times, Lung, brain and back to lung. His brother, Billy came back physically but mentally he wasn’t there. Died in a bar fight in Tulsa. I feel so sorry for the Vietnam vets, they get any respect when they came home and not much now. Bobby loved R&R in Australia.
That war was HELL! I HAD SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO WAS DRAFTED FRM SCHOOL. AND MOST WENT BACK HOME IN 📦 THE ONE'S THAT WASN'T IN A BOX WHEN THEY CAME BACK WAS SO MESS UP. HALF DIED FROM ODING. 😢 😪 😕

Far from being hard to watch you made it look like it was a fun place to be. As a radio operator for a Marine line company I never saw these shows and the majority of grunts beating the bush did not see them. The beer cans are also good for stringing around your position at night to make it harder for Charlie to sneak up on you. I thank all who made it back and for those who did not my heart breaks every day. Semper Fi.
Phyllis Diller was my favorite
Fantastic Information.
How are these pictures hard to stomach ?
the Vietnam war lasted it from 1963 to 1975 it was the longest war in history.
I was expecting to see Ted Nugent in his crusty brown uniform. Is this the war that Donald tRump learned more than the General's 🤡 why all the hiding of what hell these men went through and had to relive in their minds cause there is no mental care for these men🤬 combat veterans deserve to live in mansions, just so agent orange can be worshipped by evangelicals as the second coming of christ 🤬 real informative
I was invited to participate in that ridiculous war, as ALL wars are, but I respectfully, or not so respectfully, declined the offer!!
Wow it was hard for the Americans, guess the Vietnamese and Lao who witnessed mass genocide from the American invaders had it pretty easy
Meanwhile a lot of those vets are homeless aren’t getting mental health treatment and some on drugs. That’s how republicans feel about veterans.
It takes more skill than the average person realizes to colorize a photo. You don't just go into Photoshop and pick colors. You have to understand lighting conditions, how colors of logos may not be the same as they are now, and much more. It's interesting watching the process.
Gay.
My brother received the bronze star in the silver Star. God sent him home to us he was never the same. He fought cancer four times because of Asian Orange. He finally passed away from brain cancer caused from the war. Even through cancer four times he fought like hell and lived to be 72. You never really showed what these poor guys went through.
I can't even finish this. Go back to school and learn some history kid.
I think your title is misleading. I didn’t find the pictures “hard to stomach.”
My father had some from the Vietnam War. They were horrible. People literally cut in half some Americans
My father was given the purple heart . We were glad he came back a live. One woman spat on him at the airport and told him he should be ashamed of himself.
