In a bizarre scene from recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, protesters played communist propaganda produced during the Vietnam War in a vain attempt to demoralize US Marines mobilized by Trump to quell the riots.
For context, during the war, GIs referred to the female propaganda broadcasters as ‘Hannah Hanoi’ and generally mocked the crude attempts at psychological warfare. The video was captured during the savage riots that have been devastating Los Angeles since June 7, 2025, in response to ICE raids across the state.
In any case, the curde and poorly worded communist propaganda began with a vitenamese woman saying, “Why areyou here? You should be at home with your honeys, eating hamburgers and drinking milkshake (sic). The longer you are away, the more chance there will be than she will be with another boy.”
In the comments under the video, conservatives mocked the out-of-touch gestures. One such comment read, “Hannah Hanoi didn’t work during the Vietnam war and neither will this. They’re probably wondering what club they’re gonna hit up after getting off duty lmao.”
Building on this case, another user added, “Hanoi Hannah broadcasts were a complete and total failure during Vietnam. You think they’ll do anything today? 😂😂😂” Annoyed by the protests, one conservative said, “I guarantee you all that did was embolden them to be more likely to pull the trigger. wtf do you think would actually happen if you forced a bunch of nationalists who where deployed to quell anti-American pro Mexican nationalist protest to listen to a foreigner in their own country talk shit to them.”
Continuing the negative response, one commentator wrote, “Any of you that think this actually affects any of us, I have a bridge to sell you. I hope they get to crush your insurgency. Especially hearing that fix bayonets command from the battalion commander. That would be so fun.”
Reacting to the lame attempt at propeganda, one reply noted, “They’re just doing a job and some of the military personnel don’t want to be there but if they don’t they can get in trouble and a lot of times the military is a career move so I don’t think they’ll just up and go away.”

Rightfully angry, one commentator said, “Marines are NOT stupid. Old propaganda from a different war will have zero effect on them. Very little propaganda even could. Pathetic waste of time. The Marines are earning a great salary by standing there, guarding our streets. Those protestors, unless paid by Soros, aren’t earning sh*t. Who’s the real winner in this scenario?”
Taking another tack, one commentator said, “In case anyone forgets, the national guard deployed in your state tends to be people from YOUR State. Don’t look at them as oppressors but as your neighbor or brother.”

One sensible liberal noticed how embarrassing the display was, saying, “I’m in support of the protests, but that was really cringey. Calling them G.I. like it’s the 1960s, most of them look bored as hell and are just there for a paycheck.”
