The Vietnam War was the ONLY war ever fought by the US, in which every US Infantryman was armed with a fully automatic weapon (M16 Assault Rifle-Called the Jungle Rifle prior to replacing the M14 service rifle). There were 3 selector positions on the selective firing switch: Safe, Fire, Automatic. Automatic was called "Rock 'n Roll." After the war, US general issue M16's were converted to short round bursts, instead of full "Rock 'N Roll."

How did the televising of the Vietnam war influence the arts in the post-modernism era?
Music (Rock and Roll) and the film industry..."Apocalypse Now", "Deer Hunter", "Platoon", "Full Metal Jacket", etc.
Did the Vietnam war result in any changes in culture?
Yes, it did. The Vietnam war was the first war seen on TV and this changed many people's view of war. Every night on the evening news war coverage was part of the news and this resulted in protests against the war. This is one reason the evening news does not cover the wars we are in today. How we view who we are and what we do is often shaped by the media and it was this way in the 1960's and the Vietnam war. Music also reflected the war with protest songs and songs about the "summer of love". This changed music to this day and resulted in new forms of music never made popular before. Clothing also reflected the times of anti war and the "hippie" look. These looks have come back to some extent and still influence the culture today. So much of today is founded on the years of the Vietnam war and serve as a benchmark in our history.

How did the cold war influence music?
The Cold War, which lasted from a period after World War II till about the early 1990's, and all of the things connected to the Cold War, such as Vietnam, nuclear weapons, and the Reagan era, all played a part in the Cold War. The "hippy" music movement and culture, and all of the music that was against the Vietnam War, is one example. Punk rock music, though sometimes not pertaining to the Cold War itself, did make connections with the hatred for leaders such as Thatcher and Reagan. Most of the musical styles all had some connection to the Cold War and can be shown in the lyrics and meanings of the songs.
