Gary Yeager served as a Machine Gunner with the 101st Airborne in Vietnam from 1967 to 1968. After five months in-country, Yeager was wounded by white phosphorus and evacuated to the United States to undergo treatment. A film crew accompanied Yeager’s platoon for thirty days, collecting film for a documentary about race relations titled “Same Mude, Same Blood.” It can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rk97G6DhVmQ 🌎 Support the mission: https://www.patreon.com/TheVietnamExperience1965?utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator 🎤 Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-vietnam-experience/id1732962685 📸 Get behind the scenes content on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thevietnamexperience?igsh=MWg5MDZxd3RqODM0Yw%3D%3D&utm_source=qr Chapters: 0:00 - Into the Bush 1:58 - Combat/Life in the Jungle 4:31 - Casualties 5:19 - NBC Film Crew 6:44 - Racial Issues 7:24 - Wounded 9:52 - Evacuated 10:10 - Burn Ward 10:41 - Ashamed 11:33 - PTSD 12:14 - Reflections - Welcome to the largest YouTube channel exclusively dedicated to the Vietnam War.
