US Army artillery used in Vietnam primarily consisted of : 1. 175MM Self propelled guns 2. 155MM Self propelled guns 3. 8 inch Self propelled guns 4. 40MM M-42 Dusters (twin barrels), built on an M-41 Walker Bulldog light tank hull 5. 155MM Field gun, split trails 6. 105MM Howitzer, split trails 7. 4.2 inch Mortar 8. 81MM Mortar 9. 106MM Recoilless Rifle 10. 90MM Recoilless Rifle With the exceptions of COMPUTERS and SMART WEAPONS (Smart Shells), and new light weight cannon for transport purposes, there is probably little physical difference between the artillery of Vietnam and today. The recoilless rifles have been replaced by medium & heavy anti-tank missile systems, the 175MM and 8 inch Self Propelled Guns have probably been retired, and the M-42 Duster is now a museum piece.

'What are some differences and similarities between the wars of Iraq and Vietnam?

Differences are technological in nature. The troops involved were equally heroic, the differences were national commitment, and the similarities again are that people died, children died, Families died, and military personnel died in pursuit of their nation's objectives. Differences are that deaths in Iraq continue and US deaths are rare in Vietnam.
