How has the US helped Vietnam veterans?
A federal anti-discrimination law protecting Viet War vets was passed in the mid 70's. Funny. in the mid 70's these guys were spat on, hated by the people of the united states. Turned to the streets, still lots of Vietnam Vets are homeless. Very sad, they were doing what they were ORDERED to do, and in turn, got spat on when they got home. No welcome home comings. mostly. They JUST recently, added Agent Orange to the list of of a small list of things the Vietnam Vets are disabled for. What I don't understand is the difference between any war. They are all wars. However (no disrespect) 9/11, for some reason are treated differently than WW1 WWII Vietnam, etc. I don't understand this logic.
How were the Vietnam veterans treated when they got back from Vietnam?
In many cases, extremely poorly. The reasons in Australia are not all that clear as to why the soldiers got treated with such disregard, though it may have something to do with the fact that Vietnam was considered a policing action rather than a declared war. It had an unreality to it as a "war". Real... but not real. The governments didnt make it real clear to the ordinary people what it was all about and neither did the media express itself very well on the subject either. It was also a rebellious age. Youth was getting into dark music, drugs and protesting against everything that was Christian and the status quo. People simply didnt want to know about Vietnam so the vets got shifted to the side and mostly neglected. Its seems to be happening again re: Iraq vets. Selfish society doesnt care all that much... so the young soldiers suffer.
Why were New Zealand troops withdrawn form Vietnam?

Like Terrys father in Stop the Sun many war veterans suffer from Vietnam syndrome also known as post-traumatic stress disorder Research this disorder What are its symptoms How is it treated?
Originally PTS surfaced from the Vietnam War...then it got politically tangled up with automobile accidents, heart attack victims, earth quake victims, 9/11 victims, fist fights, riots, airplane crashes, WWII veterans, and people just having a bad day at work all of sudden were suffering from Post Traumatic Stress disorder, bottom line: it's being abused. The original roots of PTS was from men being drafted against their will; fighting a war in Vietnam against their will; returning home and fighting their own families and friends against their will; being fired or not hired because they were Vietnam Veterans...this COMBINED with the war experience itself created "stress". Since it occurred after their return from Vietnam it was labeled "post". Since war was traumatic, it was labeled "Traumatic". Possibly (since most war vets from the Civil War and World Wars have passed on, and no one knows for sure)...possibly this is why "many" Vietnam "combat" veterans just want to live in the mountains or some place away from society and be left alone.

How was morale affected by the type of warfare fought in Vietnam?
In the beginning, until the men got used to it. Leadership in Vietnam was conducted by WWII veterans, they were un-customed to fighting a limited war (a war in which the US military could not "nuke" the enemy until victory was accomplished; as was done in WWII).
