Was the Vietnam war significant in the long or short term for USA?

The Vietnam war had many effects. As we all know, the hippie revolution, was sparked by the Vietnam war. Many protests occurred all over the country at the time. People didn't want to be there. A large part of this is due to the fact of how watchful the media had become for all the negative. However, if you look at actual casualties. It may surprise you how far the U.S. was ahead. It also changed domestic politics, foreign affairs, and culture of the time. In conclusion, there were more long-term effects. The main short term effect was the hippie revolution, mistreatment of vets, and casualties.
