How did the role the American media played in the Vietnam War.
The countries that were actually "physically" involved, and were bombed or had US aircraft crash into them, whether they were "officially" in the war or not, were: Lao's, Cambodia, North Vietnam and South Vietnam.
we didn't lose Vietnam. We simply left when President Nixon went into office. We trained the south Vietnam people to fend for themselves and slowly took troops out, then when the two Vietnam's called a peace treaty for the new year celebration Tet north Vietnam issued several attacks on South Vietnam. So the side we were helping lost but truthfully we did not lose.
Yes indeed; Skyhawks played key roles in the Vietnam War, the Yom Kippur War, and the Falklands War. They were a superb low level strike aircraft and have used by many air forces around the world. In Vietnam they were used from US Navy carriers.

Timely troop movements, troop support, supplies, and strategic air stikes.
During the Vietnam War, the US Army had the largest helicopter force in the United States.
From WWII to Vietnam, they were very dangerous. In Vietnam, the USS Enterprise, USS Oriskany, and USS Forrestall, all were involved with explosions and fires destroying men and jet aircraft. Lessons LEARNED from those incidents have made aircraft carriers safer for 21st century US sailors.
