US civilain experiences were similar to US service personnel's experience. They ate the same food, drank the same water, used the same available forms of transportation, had to live in the same weather conditions, etc. The only difference was; they volunteered, they could quit, they could wear civilian clothing with matching civilian hair styles of the times (beards and pony tails, if they wished), and they made more money.

∙ 16y agoThe vietnamese people had to experience the conditions of war from 1942 to 1975. Those conditions meant: lack of proper food, lack of safe transportation. lack of decent roads and bridges, lack of proper housing, lack of proper medical care, lack of proper schools and education, lack of churches for religious purposes, lack of safe water for proper hygiene and drinking.

∙ 14y agoWar was not new to Vietnamese nationals (citizens). They had been living with war since 1940. They knew when to vacate a place, knew when to be inside their homes at night, and generally knew when a fight was coming. They survived, went on with their farming (plowing), went on with their harvesting, went on with their work.

Did Vietnamese have a place in the US?
Are you talking about a North Vietnamese or South Vietnamese EMBASSY? There would have been no such thing as a Vietnamese Embassy during the Vietnam War. There was no country called Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
How did Vietnam benefit or not benefit from the US involvement and action in history?
Vietnam suffered due to US action in supporting South Vietnam in the Second Indochinese War (called the Vietnam War in the USA and called the American War in Vietnam). The Second Indochinese War cost over 2 million Vietnamese lives, destroyed the Vietnamese economy and was an extension of the First Indochina War in the eyes of the Vietnamese. There wee numerous US soldiers who massacred Vietnamese civilians. Additionally, during the Second Indochinese War the United States used numerous defoliants (products to kill plants) in order to more effectively move through the dense Vietnamese jungles. A number of these defoliants (especially Agent Orange) caused mutations and diseases in both Vietnamese civilians, soldiers and US servicemen. A number of US servicemen have successfully sued for compensation for their injuries, but there have never been any reparations paid to Vietnam for this injustice. Further the isolation that Vietnam received from its previous Communist benefactors after the war combined with the isolation that US gave to Communist Vietnam to promote economic problems. However, Vietnam and the United States were able to have a rapprochement in the 1990s and Vietnam is increasingly looking to the United States to help preserve its independence from China.
