At the height of the war there were approximately 500,000 US Marines, soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Coast Guardsmen in Vietnam.
Over half a million men where in country by '68/'69.
1200 troops Since 2003 the US has sent approximately 500,000 to 750,000 soldiers between all 4 Branches over to Iraq, Now at no time has there been over 220,000 American Soldiers in Iraq at 1 time. That number is a rough total over the last 7 years and not 1 number sent over night.
No. Turkey was not involved in the Vietnam War. However, Turkey did contribute soldiers to the Korean War (which made that war the first time that Turks and Greeks fought on the same side in any conflict).
First time US Civil War, last time Vietnam War. In between: WWI, WWII, Korea. Revolutionary War, 1812 War, Mexican War, Indian Wars, Spanish-American War, and all post Vietnam military operations have been fought by US volunteers.
The Vietnam War was the only time that the communists defeated an American supported free nation (South Vietnam).
From 1957 to 1959 US Soldiers (US Army) operated as US military advisors under MAAGV (US Military Assistance Advisory Group Vietnam). In 1962 MACV (US Military Assistance Command Vietnam) was created; MACV existed until the end of the war.
shunned the soldiers
They just said, "I did my time."

Drafted men served for two years on active duty. They just did their time, and discharged.
i did a report a long time ago in school and researched this information. On average there were only about 35,000 combat soldiers in Vietnam, on the average. Which made up only about 10% of the total American soldiers in Vietnam. It takes alot of support personnel to take care of the logistics, administrative needs, and etc... for each combat soldier. The number of combat soldiers in Vietnam rose to approximately 50,000 combat soldiers during the Tet Offensive.

infinity...there is no limit on numbers as with space and time
The historical context of "The Man I Killed" is the Vietnam War, which took place from 1955 to 1975. During this time, American soldiers were deployed to fight in Vietnam against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. The story explores the psychological impact of war on soldiers, particularly regarding guilt and remorse for the violence they witnessed and participated in.
Because at that time the British Government knew it was an unjustified war (Unlike the British Govt. that was foolish enough to support the US in Iraq)
The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is the primary part of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It also consists of the Vietnam Women's Memorial, and the Three Soldiers statue. The memorial was designed by Maya Ying Lin.
