Basically, at first, the Roundheads' didn't really help their new, inexperienced soldiers. Army commanders used their own knowledge - which was often rudimentary at best! Then, in February 1645, the new model army was created. Inexperienced soldiers were subjected to rigorous, tough and thorough training to prepare them. This was very effective as it meant that the soldiers knew how to handle themselves in a battle situation and eventually helped the Roundheads' to win the Civil War. Soldiers were also paid the equivalent of 10p a day, something which often stopped them from deserting! Hope this helped. Members of Parliament were called Roundheads because of the close haircuts favored by the Puritans. Gradually the royalists were defeated.
New York lost approximately 4,121 servicemen in Vietnam; they weren't all soldiers...some no doubt were United States Marines; or US Sailors manning the riverine forces in their Swift Boats, or possibly US Airmen shot down while on bombing missions over North Vietnam. New York will no doubt have a state monument with the four thousand plus men's name engraved upon it. California does.
In World War I, around 17,000 died. In world war II around 12000died, bringing the total of the two wars to 29,000. A much smaller amount have died in other wars.
The war had divided the nation; additionally, the war was looked upon by many as a lost cause. Consequently, the returning American GI's were looked upon as losers; losers of a war, and fighting for a lost cause.

I have been told it stands for "Freaking New Guy". Most commonly used in the military, soldiers refer this to replacements or other soldiers new to that unit. It also stands for f*****g new guy.
Contact the Australian Viet War Veteran groups, they'll have close ties with the New Zealanders. New Zealand only sent a few thousand men to Vietnam, and to their credit, they were all volunteers!
