This is a purely subjective observation: most of the Vietnam War era media illustrations I've seen appear to depict the futility of that conflict, in one way or another.

The Vietnam War 'era' was 1961 to 1975.
Two things that have changed since the Vietnam era are communications and the cost of living.
Not everyone who served during the era of the Vietnam War went to Vietnam. Some remained in cantonment.

The Vietnam War was a headache and even Hollywood was taking a gamble when it made a film about it. Even the term Vietnam War is not often used. To this day, the term "Vietnam War" is called "Conflict" or "Vietnam Era." The Vietnam War is something the US military, Hollywood, Book Publishing Companies, Toy Manufacturing Companies, etc. try to avoid. Names such as "Modern Era" or "Modern Era War Planes", or "Modern Era Tanks" will be used in lieu of "Vietnam War Planes", etc. America wants to forget the Vietnam War; which is why Jan Scruggs had the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall built in 1982...his idea was, "OK America, you can forget about the war...but not the men you sent to fight it!" The Vietnam War was popular during the war, ONLY in that it had to be reported by the news and the news media, magazines, and by the military in order to replace or repair the machines needed to fight the war.
