Video Description:
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a two-seat supersonic long-range all-weather fighter-bomber originally developed for the U.S. Navy by McDonnell Douglas. In service from 1960 to 1996, the Phantom became the primary air superiority fighter and a workhorse fighter-bomber for the US Air Force, Navy and Marines during the Vietnam war. Having served with the armed forces of 11 other nations, as of 2001, more than 1,000 F-4s remained in service around the world.Entering service in 1960, the F-4 was designed as the first modern fleet defense fighter for the U.S. Navy. By 1963, it had been adopted by the U.S. Air Force for the fighter-bomber role. When production ended in 1981, 5,195 Phantom IIs had been built, making it the most numerous American supersonic military aircraft. Until the advent of the F-15 Eagle, the F-4 also held a record for the longest continuous production with a run of 24 years. Innovations in the F-4 included an advanced pulse-doppler radar and extensive use of titanium in the airframe.
Despite the imposing dimensions and a maximum takeoff weight of over 60,000 pounds (27,000 kg), the F-4 was capable of reaching a top speed of Mach 2.23 and had an initial climb rate of over 41,000 feet per minute (210 m/s). Shortly after its introduction, the Phantom set 16 world records, includi
ng an absolute speed record of 1,606.342 miles per hour (2,585.086 km/h), and an absolute altitude record of 98,557 feet (30,040 m). Although set in 1959-1962, five of the speed records were not broken until 1975. The F-4 could carry up to 18,650 pounds (8,480 kg) of weapons on nine external hardpo
ints, including air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, and unguided, guided, and nuclear bombs.

It is estimated that 500,000 people in Vietnam have died from the numerous health problems created by American Chemcical Warefare in Vietnam.
´ve been commies, it doesn´t meen that it is okay to kill them. It was war yep that´s true. But it would have been quit easy to end it. The US kept the war going, not the commies.
Wikipedia on your nice guy commies...
The Americans went in at the request of the South. The US feared communism more than dictators. Either way the Vietnamese people who were the losers.
"In war, there is no win"
Is a false statement. If that was the case, Hitler would have taken over.
There is such a thing as a just war.
Vietnam was not a just war.
