Troops sent to protect the interests of a corrupt south Vietnamese government were only good for the interests of weapons manufacturers there was no chance from the outset that this war was going to be won. It was in fact a crime against humanity that the united states and its allies will never have to answer for because they are too powerful. And i any case its doubtful that anyone really cares any way.

What was the ultimate goal of president nixons vietnamization plan?
The mission of President Nixon's Vietnamization plan was to have the South Vietnamese troops do more of the fighting, with the ultimate goal being the eventual removal of American troops from the country. The Vietnam War lasted from 1955 to 1975.
Why did so many American soldiers die in the Vietnam war?
Vietnam is a dense jungle that when the planes crashed, and/or the troops were captured it was easy for the Vietcong to relocate them without American troops finding them. There were tunnel systems used by the Vietcong to travel without being seen as well. Between those factors and the camps it was hard to locate all of our men. There is speculation of some of them being relocated out of Vietnam altogether upon capture as well.
What major political issues were being addressed back in the US while troops were fighting in Vietnam?
Civil Rights movement, the draft, and the voting age.
Was media a cause to why America pulled out troops from Vietnam?
Media would definitely be a reason that the country had a negative point of view of many events that took place in Vietnam. The reasons for pulling out of Vietnam tie to our troops being put into a dangerous situation for an extended period of time and the number of casualties being so high. There were nearly 17,000 KIA during 1968 alone and the US was involved in the war for 10 years. I have seen information that states Nixon pulled the troops due to the Vietnamese winning the war, but that could be the opinion of the author.
What president decided to take troops out of Vietnam?
I believe it was Richard Nixon in 1973 who began pulling out troops out of VietNam but the final pullout of American troops was in March of 1975. So between 1973 and 1975 we still had soldiers and possibly missions going on in VietNam. I myself am a veteran who served from 1973 to 1976 although I never went into VietNam, I feel justified in being recognized as a VietNam era veteran. Am I wrong in thinking that way ?? This I ask to those who went into VietNam?!?!? Please give me your comments
