U.S. soldiers in the Vietnam War struggled with a range of challenges, including the difficult terrain and climate, which made combat operations particularly grueling. They faced an unconventional enemy employing guerrilla tactics, leading to uncertainty and frustration in combat. Additionally, soldiers grappled with the psychological toll of the war, including PTSD and moral dilemmas regarding the conflict's legitimacy and impact on civilians. The lack of clear objectives and support from the home front further compounded their struggles.
The Vietnam war effected soldiers physically with strain of fighting in the jungle but it also effected soldiers psychological mind set. Soldiers were pulled out of school and work at the age of 17 and thrown into the war. The soldiers had to drink and smoke marijuana to deal with the war. It was hard for soldiers to come back for war and make a life.
When Afghanistan jet fighters are fighting US jet fighters. When Afghanistan tanks are fighting US tanks. When Afghanistan warships are fighting US warships. When Afghanistan soldiers are fighting US soldiers. Then it will be like Vietnam. Right now, it just a law enforcement issue; finding terrorists, arresting them, or terminating them.
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).
North Vietnamese soldiers were referred to as the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) by the GI's in Vietnam, during the war. Southern Communist soldiers living in South Vietnam and fighting in South Vietnam, were called the Viet Cong (VC).
Because they were disenchanted with the way the war was going, and were desperate for peace. The terrible psychological impact of fighting in Vietnam, or any war for that matter, cannot be underestimated. It was this which prompted many American soldiers, who were drafted into the conflict without consent, to desire peace.
They were drafted.

US Servicemen were fighting regular (NVA) soldiers and airmen from the North Vietnamese Army, Air Force, and Navy (Tonkin Gulf Incident). US Servicemembers are NOT fighting the Iraqi Air Force, Army, or Navy.

that's ridiculous there have been many Jewish soldiers who have died fighting there were no Jewish soldiers killed in that war. Need to know the Number of Jewish soldiers killed in Vietnam, Korean War, and Iraq.
In America. the American soldiers? No. In Vietnam - the Vietnamese Viet-Cong? Yes.
The Americans used a process called Vietnamization to pull their troops out of Vietnam. South Vietnamese soldiers slowly took over the jobs of American soldiers in Vietnam in order to get troops out without causing much of a dramatic change.
Not all of the ROKs (Republic of South Korea) were soldiers, some may have been ROK Marines. ROK deployed approximately 150,000 fighting men to RVN (Republic of South Vietnam) during the war.
North Vietnamese soldiers were referred to as the NVA (North Vietnamese Army) by the GI's in Vietnam, during the war. Southern Communist soldiers living in South Vietnam and fighting in South Vietnam, were called the Viet Cong (VC).
Air war North Vietnam. Ground war South Vietnam.
