Just part of the same graffiti that adorned the GI's steel helmet. Many a drafted man in Vietnam was a hippie...as long as he pulled a trigger when the time came and did his job...the graffiti was just part of the uniform.
Just because a drafted hippie is in Nam doesn't mean he can't wear what he wants. Uniform restrictions were kind've lax in the jungle. Besides, sarcasm is usually part of violence (war), especially the Viet War.
The exact number of soldiers who died in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War is difficult to determine, as there are varying estimates. However, it is believed that around 1 million soldiers from North Vietnam died during the conflict.
around 211,454 soldiers died there and 153,303 wounded
In World War I, around 17,000 died. In world war II around 12000died, bringing the total of the two wars to 29,000. A much smaller amount have died in other wars.
Because they were disenchanted with the way the war was going, and were desperate for peace. The terrible psychological impact of fighting in Vietnam, or any war for that matter, cannot be underestimated. It was this which prompted many American soldiers, who were drafted into the conflict without consent, to desire peace.
More than 50,000 U.S. soldiers were killed during the Korean War, and about 8,100 are still listed as missing in action.
Soldiers are people who fight, and sometimes kill, which is an exact opposite to peace, which is serenity and non violence. The two opposites contradict each other, because you can only have one or the other, not both. The meaning of wearing a peace symbol, as a soldier, especially in Vietnam, is that the soldier wants peace, and is trying to fight to get it, which could be seen as contradictory as well. If there was no war to get peace to begin with, there would be peace.
Notably Laos and Cambodia
ranged from 17- to around 35 and a little up

The US lost 58,000 soldiers and around 111-135 billion dollors lost.
Around 20 million people survived the Vietnam War.
Because Sparta was focused soley around thier military
The Ho Chi Minh trail- actually a network of roads that went thru Laos and Cambodia, and down the western side of Vietnam.
