Battle Of Hamburger Hill During The Vietnam War. Vietnam Information on the Battle of Hamburger Hill during The Vietnam War, also known as Hill 9. The battle, which was fought on May 1. U. S. casualties and caused an outrage back home.‘Don’t mean nothin’. That was the refrain of the powerful 1. Hamburger Hill, more correctly called Ap Bia Mountain or Hill 9. Many veterans of that May 1.

But the truth is that it was one of the most significant battles of the war, for it spelled the end of major American ground combat operations in Vietnam. The Hamburger Hill battle had run afoul of a fundamental war- fighting equation. Master philosopher of war Karl von Clausewitz emphasized almost a century and a half earlier that because war is controlled by its political object, the value of this object must determine the sacrifices to be made for it both in magnitude and also in duration.

He went on to say, Once the expenditure of effort exceeds the value of the political object, the object must be renounced. And that’s exactly what happened. The expenditure of effort at Hamburger Hill exceeded the value the American people attached to the war in Vietnam. The public had turned against the war a year and a half earlier, and it was their intense reaction to the cost of that battle in American lives, inflamed by sensationalist media reporting, that forced the Nixon administration to order the end of major tactical ground operations. This was not the first time the American public had stopped supporting a war. Contrary to widespread belief, Vietnam is not the most unpopular war in American history.

The Mexican War in 1. Korea. The majority of Americans supported the war in Vietnam from the landing of the Marines in Da Nang in March 1. U. S. combat engagements) until October 1. Those 3. 0 months equaled the period of time the American people supported the ground war in Europe in World War II, from the landing of U. S. forces in North Africa in November 1. May 1. 94. 5. Public opinion had turned–not on ideological grounds, as the anti- war movement would claim, but for pragmatic reasons.

Either win the damn thing or get the hell out! Johnson administration seemed unable to do either, the American people’s patience ran out. American public opinion turned against the war in Korea after only five months, percentages of those in favor falling precipitously after Chinese intervention in the war in November 1. The war became stalemated after the U. S. Eighth Army’s defeat of the 2.

Chinese Spring Offensive in April 1. Vietnam with the defeat of the enemy’s 1. Tet Offensive), degenerating into a series of bloody outpost skirmishes. The last of those skirmishes was the battle for Pork Chop Hill between July 6 and 1. Officially Hill 2. Pork Chop Hill because of its geographic shape.

One of a series of outposted hills along the Iron Triangle in the western sector of the line of contact, it had long been contested by the enemy. Earlier, in November 1. U. S. 2nd Infantry Division’s Thailand Battalion had come under heavy Chinese Communist Forces (CCF) attack there, but the assault was beaten back. On March 1, 1. 95. Infantry Division’s 3. Infantry Regiment, Pork Chop Hill came under an 8,0. CCF artillery barrage.

Then on March 2. 3, the CCF 6. Division, under cover of an intense mortar and artillery barrage, made a ground attack on Pork Chop Hill. After some initial gains they were beaten back, only to resume the attack on April 1.

Once again they were beaten back by counterattacks from the 3. Infantry, reinforced by a battalion from the 7th Infantry Division’s 1.

Infantry Regiment. But it was artillery that made the difference, as the 7th Infantry Division massed the guns of nine artillery battalions and fired 7. Watch A Heartbeat Away Online Fandango. On July 6, 1. 95.

CCF made yet another attempt to capture Pork Chop Hill. This time they gained a foothold on a portion of the crest. After repeated attempts to dislodge them were repulsed, General Maxwell D. Taylor, the Eighth U. S. Army commander, ordered the hill to be abandoned on July 1. Two weeks later, with the signing of the armistice agreement at Panmunjom on July 2. North and South Korea.

Ever the politician (as he would prove to be again in the Vietnam War), General Taylor had made his decision based on his perception of American public and political reactions to the high numbers of U. S. casualties. During the month of July 1. United States and its allies along the line of contact, including Pork Chop Hill, had suffered 2. CCF artillery barrage. Chinese and North Korean casualties were estimated at 7. The battle for Hamburger Hill, like the Vietnam War itself, was less intense than the battle for Pork Chop Hill in Korea. A body count confirmed that 6.

NVA soldiers had died in the battle, but as Samuel Zaffiri noted in his definitive history of the fight: There is no telling how many other NVA soldiers were killed and wounded and carried into Laos. No telling how many were buried alive in bunkers and tunnels on the mountain or ended up in forgotten graves in the draws or along the many ridges. Final U. S. casualties were 4. While these losses were high, Hamburger Hill was not the bloodiest fight of the war, even for the 1. Airborne Division. In the earlier November 1.

Dak To in the Central Highlands, 2. U. S. soldiers were killed in action and an estimated 1,6. NVA soldiers also perished, victims of the 1. Boeing B- 5. 2 sorties that supported the operation. Later, during the week of February 1. Tet Offensive, 5.

Americans were killed in action and another 2,5. American public. The Hamburger Hill losses were much smaller, but they set off a firestorm of protest back home. The American people were growing more weary of the war. A February 1. 96.

Vietnam had been a mistake. Politicians were quick to seek advantage in those numbers.

Most prominent was Democratic Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts, whose brother John F. Beneath The Dark Full Movie Part 1. Kennedy had been the architect of America’s Vietnam involvement. As Zaffiri related: In the early afternoon of May 2. Senator Kennedy [who had served as a draftee military policeman in Paris during the Korean War] stood up on the Senate floor and angrily denounced the attack on Dong Ap Bia, calling it’senseless and irresponsible…madness…sympathetic of a mentality and a policy that requires immediate attention.

American boys are too valuable to be sacrificed to a false sense of military pride.’Kennedy would escalate his attack on May 2. New Democratic Coalition in Washington, referring to the battle as nothing but cruelty and savagery, as well as saying that the Vietnam War was unjustified and immoral. He was soon joined by other senators, including South Dakota’s George S. Mc. Govern, a decorated World War II bomber pilot, and Ohio’s Stephen M. Young, an infantryman in World War I and an Army staff officer in World War II, who carried the attack to a new level. In a lengthy speech on May 2.

Zaffiri: Young described how during the Civil War the Confederate generals Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee attacked the Union forces at Chancellorsville from the rear and flanks simultaneously and routed them. Our generals in Vietnam acted as if they had never studied Lee and Jackson’s strategy,’ Young concluded. Instead, they fling our paratroopers piecemeal in frontal assaults. Instead of seeking to surround the enemy and seeking to assault the hill from the sides and the front simultaneously, there was one frontal assault after another, killing our boys who went up Hamburger Hill.’What set off this wave of criticism was a May 1.
