Guilty as charged. I was influnced by this one statement in the post:

Then I came upon this photograph taken in the mid 1960s in Vietnam, clearly showing a U.S. soldier carrying a World War II German MP40 machine pistol. His uniform is odd and his equipment is odder,but there is a logical explanation to this image.

Which made me stop reading right there. In fact, I probably didn't even finish readiing the entire sentence as presented. 🤣

Had I read the next sentence, before posting, where they mention the CIA was where these weaopans were aquired from, I might have watched the video. Which I have now watched. 😁👍

Thanks for setting me straight. 😁👍

Impossible to watch every video presented. It might have helped had the poster added that the video was less than 10 minutes in length. 😁👍

Normally watching videos is also a no go for me but this one was informative and the images were needed to flesh out the information.

Something that I remember well was that the Vietnam war produced not just combat veterans but especially among the green berets were some cold stone killers, at Tigerland you could see it in some of the Special Forces older guys with their jungle formed slender bodies and black dead eyes and nothing but no nonsense intensity, the majority were normal combat vets, but on a few, it really showed.
