It's just called 'Dien Bien Phu' made in 1992 by Pierre Schoendoerffer.

Now I'm curious about the film! Do you have the name?

"OK now where is Starbucks..."

Yeah, almost 70 years after the First Indochina War. We're talking about 70 years ago, not right now.

No country ever really has business starting a war in this day and age.

"Landed safely, now its Miller time."

Probably more to do with needing a new life (which you could get after serving 5? years).

And the Vietnamese were oppressed for every single one of those years. It's not like the Vietnamese just decided to wake up one day and stage a violent uprising - they worked tirelessly to find a...

I know it's a smoke canister or something, but it looks like he's popping open a beer.

Except that French Indochina (Vietnam) was a French colony for almost 70 years.

I would also recommend The Last Valley: Dien Bien Phu and the French Defeat in Vietnam

Anyone who is interested in more information on this conflict should read 'Street Without Joy', and 'Hell in a Very Small Place', both by Bernard Fall. He was there. Both books are, at once, hear...

Eh, well, they kinda deserve it to a point if we're talking about the First Indochina War. Having taken a course on the Vietnam war, including the events that preceded it, the French had no busin...

You've gotta love what you do!

Tired of people discrediting the French military.
/u/ on French Foreign legion paratroopers during Operation Camargue, Quang Tri, Indochina, July 1953.
French cowards? Hey at least your comment doesn't make you immediately sound ignorant and uneducated.

Imagine that. Join up in '39. Fight in Poland, France, Africa, Russia, and then France again before you're captured. Then after the war you are unemployed and a veteran. You hear about the French...

During the 7+ years of the First Indochina War, some 75,000 French Union soldiers were killed. Itwas the deadliest war of decolonization for a European country in the post WW2 era.

Makes sense. If you are good at killing people and have no war to fight, joining foreign legion is logical thing to do.
/u/Pleascah on French Foreign legion paratroopers during Operation Camargue, Quang Tri, Indochina, July 1953.
A lot of Germans entered the Legion after WW2.
/u/-ogre- on French Foreign legion paratroopers during Operation Camargue, Quang Tri, Indochina, July 1953.
A lot were ex nazis and some were even the feared SS
/u/FrenchMotherFucker on French Foreign legion paratroopers during Operation Camargue, Quang Tri, Indochina, July 1953.
once my uncle (who is a legionnaire even if he is french) said to me, back in 1953 most of french legionnaire were european, right after WWII.
