G'day Jess
Im the assistant modeller for the Vietnam Veterans Museum, here in Australia.
Ive been studying the war for many years myself, so is there anything you want to know in particular?
I'l be glad to help, i feel i know a fair bit about the war, moreso the Australian involvement, any Questions on that, let me know.
But as for the Nam crew here, i'd hafta say try asking Fbuis, Phantom_major, Animal, Zoomie8, Mother, or myself, hell theres alot more but those are the only names my brain can pop out today. :-)
Cheers

Hi Jess,
That is a great question about the VietNam war : there were 2 periods in this war, first was the french Indochina war (1946-1954) then the war enters the North and the South of Vietnam with the involvement of the US Armed Forces and the Allies in the South Vietnam (1964-1975).
There is a lot of media : books, documentary film, etc... but available also sur many websites, just type the subject you want to know on the search engine... and you can get it.
There are many Armorama mates here, as Animal, Mother, Lestweforget, Phantom_Major and others... I think that they can help you. As me, I had been there from the first US Marines landed on China Beach, DaNang to the fall of Saigon, I can help you all subject about the ARVN.
Don't hesitate to ask me about the South Vietnam's subject, feel free to send me a PM anytime.

I was a teenager during those yaers. My father was an Army doctor so I can give you a lot of personal experiences from the "civilian" standpoint. I also have a pretty good library and can look stuff up if you need anything.
