It is generally seen as an American failure in war.
The former NORTH Vietnam won the war; they are known as just Vietnam today.
The US is not at war with Iraq.
Laos may not be as industrialized as Vietnam is; Vietnam learned much from the US.
Vietnam reunited in 1976 after the end of the Vietnam war, South Vietnam (democratic side) losing to North Vietnam (communist side).
Yes Yes, because i have searched online and seen a movie about it.
There is NO North Vietnam & South Vietnam today (and there hasn't been a north & south for over 30 years; when the north conquered the south, ending the war in 1975). Today's Communist Vietnam is President Triet.
the US spend 140 billion Dollars on the Vietnam war
Today's dollars, possibly 700 billion; not lost...schooled!
There are still MIA's.
The Viet war was fought against COMMUNISM and against the country of North Vietnam which was a communist nation. The on-going wars of today are not against any particular country (nation) nor against any particular ideals (such as communism, etc.). The wars of today consist of eliminating dictators & terrorists.
To learn about the past and not to forget about people that was killed in the war.
The nation of North Vietnam (which no longer exists...it's called Vietnam today). The country that the US was allied to, South Vietnam, doesn't exist either...it was consumed by North Vietnam. The official name of SOUTH Vietnam was the "Republic of South Vietnam."
