They were major events of the Cold War. The Cold War meant that Democracy and Communism were unable to fight each other conventionally because both possessed nuclear weapons, and whichever side began to lose would have used them. However, they could take sides in internal conflicts around the world. Along with Afganistan, Korea and Vietnam were large-scale examples of Cold War fighting.

Is the cold war still going on?
Not really--but it has evolved perhaps into a different kind of conflict. The Cold War was a war fought between the United States and the Soviet Union between 1945 and the early 1990s until the dissolution of the Berlin Wall and of the Soviet Union itself. Although it was a "cold" war in most respects, several smaller "hot" wars were battles of the Cold War: Korea, Vietnam, Angola, Afghanistan, etc. Once the Warsaw Pact dissolved and most of its former members became members of NATO, along with the dissolution of the Soviet Union, we can probably regard the Cold War as we knew it to be over. However, after a brief period of warming, relations between Russia (the successor state to the Soviet Union) and the West have become quite chilly again. Russia doesn't wield the same international influence it once did, however, so this new chill in relations probably doesn't fit the definition of a new or continuing cold war. In the post-Cold War era, relations between China and India and the West have become more the focus of the international system.

To what extent was the cold war a confrontation of ideologies?
The cold war was a war of ideologies. Not a war as people think of a war...killing, shooting, bombing, destruction, ships sinking, cities burning, etc. It was called a COLD war because the name fit. Before the cold war, everyone knew what a WAR was. But no one knew what to call a potential war that never happened; so we called it a COLD WAR.
How did Americans feel about the war in Vietnam?
At the beginning the President of the U.S., had the American people believing that they had to go to war in Vietnam. Why question it? Yes, it was communist. They sent thousands upon thousands of young men and women to Vietnam and each and everyone of them believed they were fighting a war to protect their country. Within time it became clear that Americans should not have entered into this war. John F. Kennedy was in the midst of ending the war and was assassinated and Lyndon B. Johnson took over. Instead of admitting to a war that should have never been entered into, he kept troops over in Vietnam and many more lives were lost. It is said that Lyndon B. Johnson had nightmares about his decision and made him a broken man. The Vietnam War was considered a black blotch on American History and many people just wanted to forget about it. News from the U.S., didn't reach the troops in Vietnam quickly, and the troops were not aware of the demonstrations going on in their own country against the war. When word did get to the troops there were mixed feelings. Why wouldn't there be! These men were killing (when they really didn't want too) they also were being killed, tortured, maimed and they couldn't face the fact that this war was all for not and that their government would betray them. How do you explain seeing your buddy blown to bits, or how do you explain to yourself that you lost limbs over nothing. This doesn't even touch much of what these men went through .. there was shell shock, suicide, mental disorders from the horrors of this war, alcohol and drug abuse. Universities had sit-ins (anti war) but few really understood or cared what American troops were going through and the media was sure to let everyone know they were baby killers. These Vietnam Vets came back to utter chaos. Jobs were hard to find, they were spat at by many, but also had some sympathizers. Vietnam Vets not only came back with broken bodies, but broken minds and many committed suicide once back at home. They simply didn't fit in anymore. They had nightmares, night sweats, and they faced more people in their communities that had no idea what had happened in Vietnam than those that could understand. Vietnam Vets seemed to have a silent oath not to talk about Vietnam and few retained the friendships they made while over in Vietnam. There are still some groups that Vietnam Vets have created themselves so they can make sense of what they went through (if that is possible.) This is the first war in the history of America that is not displayed in many war museums throughout the United States, but, that is changing. A life given for one's country (right or wrong) is a life to be honored!
How does the Cuban revolution fit into the cold war era?
The Cuban Revolution, which culminated in 1959 with Fidel Castro's rise to power, significantly impacted the Cold War era by establishing a communist government close to the United States. This development heightened tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, as Cuba became a focal point for Cold War conflicts, exemplified by events like the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962. The revolution not only inspired leftist movements across Latin America but also positioned Cuba as a Soviet ally, further polarizing the geopolitical landscape of the time.

How did Vietnam fit into the domino theory?
The domino theory was a Cold War concept suggesting that the spread of communism in one country would trigger a chain reaction, leading to the fall of neighboring countries to communism. Vietnam was seen as a critical point in Southeast Asia; U.S. officials believed that if Vietnam fell to communism, other countries in the region, such as Laos, Cambodia, and even Thailand, would follow suit. This belief justified American intervention in the Vietnam War as part of a broader strategy to contain communism and prevent its spread throughout Asia. Ultimately, Vietnam's fall to communism in 1975 challenged the validity of the domino theory, as neighboring countries did not necessarily follow suit in the expected manner.

Was there an army slogan before Be All That You Can Be?
Yes, actually, there were several. For instance, the Army toyed with "Fun, Travel, and Adventure" fora short time in the early '80's. But, considering what other words can fit with "FTA" they soon dropped the campaign. FTA came along well before the '80's. I believe it was during the Vietnam War. Fun Travel & Adventure (FTA) became 'Fuq The Army' (FTA) during the Vietnam War protests, and VVAW (Vietnam Veterans Against the War).
