Why were Vietnam soldiers shunned?
As the war progressed, US citizens realized that this was a civil war, and not a foreign, communist force trying to take over the world. Also, stories about horrible massacres where US soldiers were ordered to kill everyone in certain villages (men, women, boys, girls, babies, (EVERYONE)) got out to the public, who were outraged. There are some heroic stories such as one where a unit was told by their commanding officer to kill everyone in a village, and a US helocopter was overhead. When the pilot of the helocopter saw what was happening, he put the helocopter between the US forces and the fleeing Vietnamese and told his gunner to shoot if anyone kept killing the Vietnamese. Overall however, it is really sad to know that the soldiers were used by the government to fight a political war. I hope this helped.

North Vietnamese fighting men (Airmen, Soldiers, and Sailors) probably were promised a North Vietnamese victory. South Vietnamese fighting men (Airmen, Marines, Soldiers, and Sailors) were probably promised the US would always be there when they were needed. US, Australian, New Zealand, Philippine, South Korean, and Thai fighting men (Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, and Sailors) were told all they had to do was one tour (12 months) then they could go home; and that's about all these men wanted...was to go home. All of the above military men received a pay-check (or were supposed to anyway).
