More likely than others to serve in combat positions
Soldiers from the United States were sent to South Vietnam to support the government and combat the communist insurgency during the Vietnam War.
LBJ was the first US president to send conventional combat troops to RVN and the first president to begin openly bombing North Vietnam.
It was president Richard Nixon who finally pulled all U.S troops from Vietnam.
The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution passed in Congress, giving the President and the Department of Defense the authority to engage North Vietnam in combat to defend South Vietnam from communist incursion.
The Vietnam War was one of the worst in American history. Combat in the jungle was difficult, and it was hard to know who exactly was the enemy, since Vietnam had two different sides of the war as well.

deploy combat troops to vietnam
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.
