How did Johnson and Nixon deal with America's involvement in Vietnam?
President Johnson used the Gulf of Tonkin incident to deepen American involvement in Vietnam. And as early as February 1965, U.S. planes began to bomb North Vietnam. American troop strength in Vietnam increased to more than 180,000 by the end of the year and to 500,000 by 1968. ChaCha!

Why was it difficult for soldiers to return from Vietnam especially compared to world war 2 veterans?
The Vietnam war was not a 'popular war', especially on college campasses. Therefore when the soldiers came home, they were met at the airport by mob-protestors of the war..............and called baby killers. World War 2 soldiers returned home as heros, even tho they had undoubtedly committed atrocities themselves...............it happens in war. But in that era the whole country was behind the war.
Was it John Kennedy who wanted to fight in Vietnam?
No. JFK actually did not want to go into Vietnam. This leads some people to believe that Oswald (JFK's assassian) was actually paid to do the job by the people in charge of the companies who make money off of war by making weapons. That is a whole different topic though. But to answer your question no Kennedy did not want to go into vietnam.

Why should American citizens feel compelled to fight for their country?
American citizens should feel compelled to fight for their country because it is the place they have grown up. Their whole life is in this place. Their family and friends are there why wouldn't they want to? America is a beautiful and wonderful place. Someone who wouldn't want to fight of their country would have to be out of their mind. I know I would fight if I was 18!
How were the 20th-century independence movements in Vietnam and Algeria similar?
To compare them, both wars were world's super power verses the poor country. In the American Revolution, England was the "World Super Power" and America was the small and poor country, well at the time America has yet to become their own independent country so they were a part of England in this America was backed by Poland, and France. In the Vietnam War, The Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the National Front for the Liberation of Vietnam wanted to unite and create a communist system over the nation, so this was Vietnam's power. The Republic of Vietnam was against the whole movement and was backed by America. In the American revolution Britain had the world's best military, and Navy. The Americans military was made up with any male willing to fight, and later on women such as Molly Pitcher will join the fight as well so we were the Insurgents.
Why was the Philippine-American War more brutal then the more Costly Spanish-American War?
The poor filipino soldiers during 1898( The first Republic in Asia ) resort to guerrila warfare or tactics because they cannot match American advance weaponry. The tactic worked and a lot of American soldiers were killed as a result. The Americans resort to brutal tactics such as confinement of a whole province ( they call it reconcentration and was done in Vietnam 1960's ) and killing of suspected filipino sympathizers. Eventually, since at that time there is no Geneva convention or media to report gross human rights abuse, the American were able to succeed in defeating the poor galant pinoy soldiers ( who fought with outdated rifles taken from the spanish soldiers and some bolo's - big knife ) The war ended when Americans captured Emilio Aguinaldo - president of the republic of the Philippines ( the first republic in Asia ). To note, a lot of the amercian soldiers who fought against the Filipinos were veterans of the Indian war, where they massacred a lot of the native Indians ( they are not very fond of colored race )
