Re-post 2011: "Ride The Thunder" Honour & Triumph In Vietnam: Now a movie

 

 
 
(The book is one of the best on Vietnam)


Fix Bayonets!" 

"And they began to yell and scream and curse like mad men. Rebel Yells, blood curdling Rebel Yells. Just like the men who followed Stonewall Jackson and Jeb Stuart. Here in the godforsaken jungles of Vietnam one hundred years later another crazy-like-a-fox Virginian was ordering men to fix bayonets and charge."

"......the story of Le Ba Binh is so incredible, the reader will find himself wondering if he was really a film character. Le Ba Binh can teach leftwing Americans, safe in their Constitution-backed country, the folly of appeasement. His saga, which cannot be detailed here, will serve as a signpost of honor for adults and children alike."

Le Ba Binh's 700-man South Vietnamese Marine force facing 20,000 North Vietnamese......
"As long as one Marine draws a breath of life, Dong Ha will belong to us." 


Nine time wounded Lt. Col. Le Ba Binh Binh served 13 years in heavy combat and another 11 years in prison camps.

'Eye-opening'! Film explodes media myths about Vietnam
“The media’s impact made the Vietnam War one of the most ill-received wars in America. American soldiers took the heat for agreeing to fight. There are two sides to every story … Americans were not the enemy. They were the good guys.”
– Movieguide review of “Ride the Thunder”
It’s the wildly popular and vividly accurate movie about one of the most shockingly misunderstood wars in American history, and it soared in its theatrical release in eight U.S. cities this summer.


Now the film is coming to theaters in Westminster, California; Peoria, Arizona; and Mesa, Arizona. It will show from Sept. 11 to Sept. 17. Schools are being offered free or discounted admission when they coordinate field trips to see the movie.

  1. This does not maintain the decades long narrative of Viet Nam. The VN war was the first time I finally understood what a narrative was and the amount of effort that dodgers and progressive propagandists would expend to maintain that narrative.
