I'm planning a campaign set in 'Nam, and I'm running out of inspiration imagery and music.
I'm already playing White Rabbit and Fortunate Son on repeat, while whistling "Napalm sticks to kids", but that is clearly not enough.
So I need more things related to 'Nam.

I'm sure you will be able to find scans of the old RECON and Advanced RECON by Palladium Books.
MACV(SOG) is absolutely the way to go for players characters. Commandos in small teams on secret missions.

Run Through The Jungle is a good one.
Make sure to brush up on your firearms, particularly stuff like the M16 vs M16A1 with Failiure To Fire.
>>47375004
Go watch Hamburger Hill, and The Siege of Firebase Gloria.

You really shouldn't you fucking cancerous /tv/ memeshitter.
Three movies to watch in order, preferably with your players.
Tigerland, Platoon, then Gardens Of Stone. Ought to get everyone set up.

My grandpa joined the Marines in '63 at the age of 18. He tells me stories all the time. It's unimaginable horror, I think. Nothing I've watched or read has ever left me more terrified.
>>47380407
Would you like to get any of those stories off you chest, anon?

Looks more like a war crime in progress.

There is no such thing as a "crime" against Communists.

Everything done by Garth Ennis' Punisher Max. I recommend the miniseries 'Born'.

Not him, but it's an abstract kind of feel to hear and/or think about grandparents' war stories. My grandpa was conscripted at age of 18 in '41, and it's wierd to think that I, my father, my uncles, my siblings, would not exist if he had been an inch to the left or to the right at some point.

Don't forget Search and Destroy - Iggy Pop
I recommend you to read the book "Tiger Force". It's pretty good. Detailing how an elite unit is slowly sliding into madness.
There's also the book "The Things They Carried". It's made of different short stories - some are pretty good. It was the main inspiration for the RPG called "Carry - A Game About War".
Finally, if you like vidyas there's the Vietcong collection. Decent FPS with an awesome soundtrack.
The Oliver Stone's Vietnam War trilogy is worth watching: Platoon, Born on a Fourth of July, Heaven and Earth. Casualties of War is another good movie.
>>47389595
I'd say ARVN or RFPF due to the narrow trouser cut. ROK forces tended to have baggier US style trousers.
ARVN: Life and Death in the South Vietnamese Army, 25 year century & black april the fall of south vietnam are pretty good books on the subject and pretty easy to find online in epub form.
>>47394619
Maybe they shouldn't have given up North Africa so easily.
>>47375004
Get some sabaton playing for music!
More music recs:
>The Animals - Boom Boom
>Spencer Davis Group - Gimmie Some Lovin'
both of those songs were used in psychological warfare campaigns against the Vietnamese
As some other anons have suggested, Project Phoenix and Tiger Force are great sources.

>small unit action in vietnam
there's a story involving a LRRP patrol that came across and devastated an entire brigade of NVA by calling in artillery fire while fleeing into the night that sticks out in my mind
