Then, there were the others that were willingly joining the war to fight for their country. America was torn between prideful men and fearful men. The fearful men were fleeing…

In November of 1955, the United States of America entered the Vietnam War. What would follow for the next two decades was a gruesome, unchecked state of warfare, that would leave even the most resilient soldiers broken down and demented.

testimonies I can most definitely say that researching all about the war in Vietnam was very informative. I felt that being able to assess the war from both American and Vietnamese perspectives was a very big factor in understanding the full magnitude of it. Unlike any war before, each side had completely different strategies, strengths, and weakness that leveled out the playing field. In the end, both America and Vietnam paid hefty consequences for a war whose outcome was not particularly…
