Want this question answered?
i would think that it would be the US special forces.
Yes, but the primary services involved in that time frame would be USMC, USN, or USAF. They were the ones still doing various operations, etc. The main line forces (conventional forces) US Army had re-deployed earlier.
Very doubtful. Anyone old enough to serve in World War 1 would have been quite elderly by the time Vietnam began. Douglas MacArthur was a general in both world wars and Korea, but he was retired and died before regular US forces were committed to Vietnam.
The North Vietnamese Army would break the treaty and invaded South Vietnam. South Vietnam quickly fell to North Vietnam, which created one, Socialist Vietnam.
To get into a special forces unit, you have to be in the regular army and follow selection. If you were eligible, you would know what you needed to do.
You would have to attend SFAS (Special Forces Assessment and Selection). You need to be at least an E4 before attending.
This is definitely possible. A WW 1 vet would have been born around 1900 and would put him in his late 50's. There were Vietnam vets this age who served in the Gulf War. This also could mean that it was possible for a Vet to have served in WW 1, WW 2, Korea and Vietnam.
South Vietnam would not survive without the help of U.S, and it would not allow the U.S. to achieve peace with honor.
Then China would probably not win

Generally, a Vietnam era veteran is considered anyone who served in the military between 1964-1975. There are, however, some nuances in the case of Vietnam War veterans, who served in country during the war. They can date back to the late 1950s and early 1960s, when the US had advisers in Vietnam; also, while there were only few in Vietnam at this time, some US servicemen who served in 1974-1975 would be considered Vietnam veterans (I.e. marines present at the Fall of Saigon and US Navy sailors who aided in evacuating Saigon).
Unless you actually served in Viet Nam you are not a Viet Nam Veteran. You are considered a Veteran. I served from 1964-1967 and never was sent to Viet Nam, but was sent to Germany. I am a Veteran but not a Viet Nam Veteran.Additional infoVietnam vets are vets that served from 1964 to 1975 and received the Vietnam Service Metal (VSM ). The military had regulations covering who received the VSM. So since you did not serve during those dates, you would not be eligible for the VSM and therefore not considered a Vietnam Veteran. (If you had served anytime from 1964 to 1975 and had not received the VSM, you would be referred to as a Vietnam Era Veteran.
