message: Be nice to have someones fact check this and find some other sources. IT could also use some elaboration on the social impact in the United States.

message: Not one mention of how Long Binh Post was the headquarters for USARV, housing 90,000 US Army personnel. LBJ was a very minor component of Long Binh Post. Most men (and women) stationed at Long Binh never saw the stockade, and probably could not tell you where it was located on the base. I only saw it because I was temporarily assigned to escort prisoners to work details. While conditions at the stockade did make the news back home, it should be seen in the context of widespread morale and discipline issues in the US military in Vietnam (marijuana and other illegal drug use was rampant on Long Binh Post and throughout Vietnam, for example). -- Donald Albury 16:14, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, I'd absolutely love it if you added on here. I'm sorry the article focuses primarily on the riot, but that's what most of the available information covers. Sorry.Wikilost 01:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I need to find some published sources. My memories aren't reliable sources. Besides, I was only familiar with the USARV headquarters battalion ('Special Troops') area and a few other spots such as the PX, steam bath and USO club. I know there were an engineering battalion and a couple of field hospitals there, but I don't remember what else. The post had its own power plant, operated by a contractor. There were also a supply depot, an army air field and a Light Infantry Brigade base adjacent to Long Binh Post, but with their own perimeters, separated from LB Post by highways used by Vietnamese civilians. -- Donald Albury 09:51, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

text: When I arrived at Long Binh I was assigned to the II Field Forces which Later became USARV, there were numerious units there, including 23rd Field Atry Group Which had several units assigned to it as well. Long Binh was the location for many units. Units came and went frequently, with the fluidity of war. US Army archives must have a complete record.  I was in the Headquarters Company of the First Signal Brigade, 1969-1970, for example.  Long Binh Jail was associated with  Headquarters 18th MP Brigade which was only a small part of Long Binh Post. LBJ was probably better known to GIs in other parts of Viet Nam because they might be sent there if convicted by Courts Martial.  But nonetheless the LBJ article should be included in the Long Binh Post article.Alexselkirk1704 (talk) 22:50, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Oh my! 

message: Long Binh Jail has 5 links to it, Long Binh has a few more links to it, even though it was created after Long Binh Jail.
There's already mention of Long Binh Jail in the Long Binh page/article.
Long Binh Jail could be worth keeping if people had more info to put in it...there's quite a few web sites with personal recollections (all copyright) of Long Binh and its jail. A lot of links could be added in the Long Binh Jail page/article.
Alternatively, any "Long Binh Jail" info in Long Binh could be moved into Long Binh Jail
Or it might be better to have page/article on the "Long Binh Post" with a section on the Jail?
There's probably a lot that could be said about the Long Binh Post —

replies: text: IMO the jail info is scrambled into the article with no coherant relationship to the rest. Without prejudice to any eventual move, i'm moving it into Long Binh Jail, and expect that will at worst be a step toward having a coherant narrative that can be slotted into the article on the place and the base.

thread_title:  Merge [[Long Binh Jail]] into [[Long Binh]] 

message: I reverted the insertion of "Late in the war" from the sentence about the amenities described at Long Binh Post. No source was cited for that statement. Almost all of those amenities were in place when I arrived at Long Binh in October, 1968, with the exception of the steam bath/massage parlor and USO club, both of which opened in early 1969. That hardly seems "late in the war." -- Donald Albury 11:10, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Late in the war" 

message: OK. Which date was it? One reference claims that 4 February 1967 was the date, and another claims that 28 March was the date. There was one hell of a explosion; I was 8 klicks away when it occurred, so I did witness it. The blast knocked out every window in our detachment's orderly room. No question about there being an explosion; however, I would think that the date of that explosion would be documented somewhere in the Army historian's archives and that we could at least agree on a date that the explosion did occur. The date of the explosion has been changed at least a couple of times to my knowledge. Any ideas how to make this bit of information verifiable to eveyones satisfaction? Is there a definitive, reliable history of the Post that exists so that a more complete article could be written? I would help with it, if such a source were available.
