The UK should be listed as a combatant, as the Heath government sent British troops to Vietnam in 1971-72. 86.131.66.247 (talk) 04:25, 12 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Do we need a FAQ with
Q was there any British involvement in Vietnam
A No, and any such question will be deleted unless backed with a source?
Yes or no? Slatersteven (talk) 15:17, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- The most important British involvement was that the Americans listened pretty carefully when Sir Robert Thompson gave them advice about what to do in Vietnam. Ed Moise (talk) 15:56, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
As thuis block evasion while not often it is wasting a lot less time than just deleting these silly season questions. Slatersteven (talk) 15:18, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- Did a quick search of archives and in the first 20 hits for British I picked out one that related to British involvement? Also, I don't recall seeing it before as an issue. So, probably not. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

The men killed and wounded during the Mayaguez incident are listed as Vietnam war causality's according to military government records. The deaths of these men are listed on the Vietnam memorial. Remove the phony date you have of April 30,1975 as the end of the Vietnam war as it is incorrect in every way. That is just the day they turned the cameras off in Sagon. 2600:1015:A004:F190:7920:2CE8:4767:E02A (talk) 15:06, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

- If you think the war ended on April 30, 1975 you rely on pure stupidity.  2600:1015:A004:F190:1FEB:5B45:A6C3:7B78 (talk) 05:09, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I suggest you contact the RS we used and get them to change it. Slatersteven (talk) 09:44, 9 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I suggest you contact the families whose sons died in the Mayaguez Incident and tell them the wiki decided April 30, 1975 is the end of the Vietnam war.  While the US government says they are Vietnam veterans killed in action during the Vietnam war. so obviously according to wiki their names should be removed from the Vietnam memorial and all the Vietnam awards they received should be returned.  2600:1015:A004:F190:F07C:8D8D:B48A:66C8 (talk) 16:36, 10 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

- The Mayaguez incident was a fight between US and Cambodian forces, in Cambodia, after the fighting in Vietnam had ended. It had nothing to do with Vietnam. Ed Moise (talk) 15:52, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- US forces fought in Cambodia all the time during the Vietnam war. Are you now saying that no US military was ever in Cambodia and the fight in Cambodia on May 15 ,1975 was the first time? 2600:1015:A025:FEDC:EB84:BCDD:711F:645A (talk) 03:14, 3 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- No I am not saying those things.
- "All the time" is a slight exaggeration. US forces fought occasionally in Cambodia, not very often, up to 1969. They were fighting Vietnamese forces, and this was definitely part of the Vietnam War.
- US forces (usually the US Air Force) fought a lot in Cambodia from 1969 to 1973. For most of this time the US operations were directed mostly against Vietnamese forces. Even in 1973, when US operations were directed mostly against Cambodian forces, they were directed against Vietnamese to a significant extent. This was definitely part of the Vietnam War.
- Then there was a period of almost two years, from August 1973 to May 1975, when US forces were not fighting in Cambodia.
- Then in May 1975, after the war in Vietnam had ended, US forces fought Cambodian forces in Cambodia. This had nothing to do with Vietnam, and I don't regard it as part of the Vietnam War. Ed Moise (talk) 22:04, 21 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

- Your Lies about the US not being in Cambodia prior to May 15, 1975, during the Vietnam are easily disproved as the Cambodian Campain happened April 29 to July 22 of 1970. It was a direct action of and during the Vietnam war as was the Mayaguez Incident. 2600:1015:A000:8DA6:CD08:67A2:37AD:CBF8 (talk) 05:35, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I do not recall anyone saying that, all that said was this incident was long after the US had left the Vietnam war. Slatersteven (talk) 09:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
- That is not what the US government says. The US government says it was a Vietnam war action and people killed during the battle are on the Vietnam war memorial. 2600:1015:A000:8DA6:CD08:67A2:37AD:CBF8 (talk) 16:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
