Morale among U.S. troops declined by 1967 due to several factors, including the protracted nature of the Vietnam War, high casualty rates, and the growing unpopularity of the conflict back home. Many soldiers faced difficult living conditions, inadequate support, and a lack of clear objectives, leading to feelings of disillusionment. Additionally, increasing anti-war sentiment and protests in the U.S. contributed to a sense of alienation among troops, further undermining their morale.
Vietnam
From 1961 to 1967, the number of U.S. troops in Vietnam significantly increased as the United States escalated its involvement in the Vietnam War. In 1961, there were approximately 1,500 military advisors, but by 1967, this number had surged to around 500,000 troops. This escalation was driven by the belief that a stronger military presence was necessary to combat the growing influence of communism in Southeast Asia. The increase reflected a broader commitment to support the South Vietnamese government against the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces.
In 1967, the United States had approximately 475,000 troops stationed in Vietnam. This was during the Vietnam War, a conflict that escalated significantly in the mid-1960s as the U.S. aimed to support the South Vietnamese government against the communist North. The presence of such a large number of troops marked a peak in American involvement in the war.
The Igbo tried to create their own country and the Nigerian government sent troops to stop them, therefore creating civil war.
Why does it mateer? 1967 is over and done
The morale and discipline of U.S. troops declined by 1967 as the futility of the ground war and the beginnings of U.S. withdrawal became more obvious.
The North Vietnamese Army (NVA) probably had better morale than the US or the Viet Cong. U.S. morale was pretty decent in early part of the war, but declined drastically after 1967 / 68.
