shunned the soldiers
Many returned to France.
They were divided at the 17th parallel in 1954/55 after the 1st Indochina War (also called the French Indochina War). They were united in 1975 after defeating the Republic of South Vietnam, which had been supported by the US since 1955.
During the Vietnam war the rate of use was about 5% Heroin was: - inexpensive - about 95 percent pure (compared to 5 percent in the US) - easy to obtain Most users smoked or sniffed or even ate heroin Most users stopped when they returned to the U.S.
Well, it was never a popular war and it was mostly fought due to our fears of the spread of communism as a result, many felt we had no real reason to send troops over. If you consider that the US has had an economic relationship with Vietnam since the 1990s, you can argue that in the end, the Vietnam War was a mistake. In a sense, its an insult to the loss of life and the troops that returned with PTS and mistreatment by those that got to stay home on their comfy couch.
They had to be returned by the date we pulled out in March 1973.
Vietnam was a countryside, with the US military living in it (and the enemy). Civilians had to vacate the area (we RE-LOCATED THEM).
The terrain in Vietnam is flat, swampy and forestry. There is a lot of bamboo growth in the countryside and that is why it is a common construction material.
Like an enemy.
US POW's were returned in 1973.
By 1972.
The government helped.
The North returned to the negotiation table.

For the US to re-deploy from South Vietnam...which the US did (after the POWs were returned, that was the US condition).
There was no treaty, the US simply wanted their POWs returned and then redeployed back to the US (after they were returned).
