Operation Swift: The Bloodiest Marine Ambush of the Vietnam War That You’ve Never Heard Of

September 1967. The Marines of the 5th Regiment walked into the Que Son Valley on a routine sweep. What they found was a nightmare. The NVA was waiting, dug in, and ready to fight. What followed was four days of the most intense combat Marines experienced in the entire Vietnam War. Companies were ambushed and nearly wiped out. Hand-to-hand fighting in the jungle. Men killing each other at arm's length with bayonets and rifle butts. 127 Marines killed. Over 300 wounded. Entire platoons cut down in kill zones they never saw coming. This video covers the complete story of Operation Swift: the ambush that started it all, the desperate night fighting, the relief forces that walked into the same traps, the hand-to-hand combat, the heroes who threw themselves on grenades, and the aftermath that left the 5th Marines decimated. One of the bloodiest operations of the Vietnam War that most people have never heard of. The Valley of Death earned its name. #history #vietnamwar #historyforsleep
