The designer of the memorial explains WHY she designed it that way. Read her explanation on the website: Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall.
The media was the main factor that shaped American views on the War in Vietnam. Unadulterated coverage of the war showed Americans just how futile the battle actually was.
The US Marine Corps operated AMTRACs (Amphibian Tractors) in Vietnam during the war. They were LVT5's (Landing Vehicle Tracked model number 5). Post Vietnam...during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, etc. USMC operated LVT7's...the most common version identified by the public...the LVT7 has a boat shaped front end. The Vietnam version, LVT5, looks just about like the US Army's M113 APC/ACAV (Armored Personnel Carrier/Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle), except it is about twice as big and has many more road wheels along it's bottom. But both the Army's ACAV and the Marine's AMTRAC were box shaped, were amphibious, were equipped with ramps at the rear which opened, armored, and both were designed to carry personnel. They both also moved the same way, in armored columns.

During the 19th century (1800's) the US Army had a circular shaped canteen (flat and round) with "US" inked onto the canteen's cover. In the 20th century (1900's) the US Army had a 1 quart aluminum canteen, shaped like a water bottle, but indented on one side (appearing to form to a man's hip, but probably to make it easier for a man's hand to better grasp the canteen). During the Vietnam War, this same aluminum 1 quart canteen became an olive drab colored plastic canteen. In about 1970, GI's in Vietnam were being issued the new plastic 2 quart olive drab colored canteen; square shaped with the cap on one of the corners of the square. All cloth canteen covers had the letters "US" inked onto them.

The Vietnamese country was totally infiltrated by the Chinese and the Chinese ambitions to have Vietnam as their seaport. That's why the Vietnam War began --to contain Chinese influence.
