The Vietnam War is remembered as one of the most controversial and devastating conflicts in modern history — but what if the darkest chapters were never fully told?
In this video, we expose the horrifying truth behind forgotten atrocities committed during the Vietnam War — including the My Khe massacre, Operation Speedy Express, and the CIA-backed Phoenix Program. While most people know about My Lai, very few have heard of the systematic slaughter that took place across dozens of Vietnamese villages. Civilians — including women, children, and the elderly — were murdered, tortured, and erased in the name of counterinsurgency.
This isn’t just another Vietnam War documentary. It’s a brutally honest look at what was hidden — the war crimes, the cover-ups, and the shocking indifference shown by those in power. From grainy photographs of the massacres to declassified documents proving the CIA’s involvement, this video dives deep into the disturbing underbelly of the Vietnam War.
We ask hard questions: Why were soldiers rewarded for kill counts? Why were civilians labeled “enemy combatants”? And why has the U.S. government never fully acknowledged the scale of these atrocities?
If you think you know the Vietnam War, think again.
