I was not in Vietnam, still, I have heard a number of men talk about it. Unlike the solders from World War 2, none of the Vietnam Veterans considered the Vietnam War worth fighting. Many were totally upset with the incompetence with the people back at the Pentagon. Many solders in the field despised the situation. Americans had to fight because South Vietnamese would not. The fighting was pointless. The solders knew either they could stay and die forever or they could get out and watch South Vietnam fall.
Part of the cold war; should America have participated in the cold war?
Canadian men crossed into the US and joined the US military to fight in Vietnam. Canada itself did not go to war.

Well, a lot of them died.
With protests and riots.
