“Just before your eyes you’d see a dozen civilians go before one soldier.” (“Weapons”). This said by a random Vietnam veteran shows just a very small portion of how the Vietnam War was inhumane. Many innocent civilians had their lives taken or even limbs from their body taken in the war. Life taking machines, B-52 bombers were flying nukes in the war. B-52 Bombers were stocked with several bombs that would kill a man anywhere under one kilometer away from it (“Air”).Last, when it comes to women; women are the most underrated part of the Vietnam War.

In 1971 Agent Orange had been released. It was dropped on the ground and from planes. Eleven million gallons of Agent Orange had been released. This is still causing birth defects and is still affecting people in Vietnam today that had nothing to do with the war. One seventh of Vietnam had got affected in the area (“Battlefield”). Wrapping up the ground slaughters, hundreds of thousands of civilians were murdered by the end of the war. At the Battle of Saigon, 22,000 people were killed. To end the war, the tanks in Saigon blew up two last American soldiers to pieces. They got the last hit, but its a matter of opinion on who won this horrifying war (“Kennedy”).
