When will the last Vietnam veteran die?

Assuming an 18-year old was in Vietnam in April, 1973 when the last U.S. combat forces left Vietnam, he might live to be 90 years old in 2045. Most Vietnam vets have turned 65, or will turn 65 in the next five years.


How did the US involvement end in Vietnam?

By 1970 it was plainly clear that the Unites States people had turned against any further support for the war in Vietnam; and South Vietnamese government was too corrupt an inefficient for them to be able to wage the war for much longer. Funding to support the corrupt South Vietnamese regime was cut back significantly and starting in 1971 the United States military began withdrawing their forces from Vietnam. In 1973, the Vietnamese were left to fight it out for themselves; and in 1975 South Vietnam was overrun and surrendered.

How is the Cold War connected to the Vietnam War?

The COLD WAR lasted from approximately 1945 until 1990. "Cold War" meant that no war was being fought, as in another world war such as WWII had been. If the "Cold War" had turned "HOT" then that would have been WW3. The Cold War was a non-shooting war (no WW3), between the Communist world and the Free world. The communists tried to enlarge their powers by fighting with the use of surrogates in "relatively" limited wars, Korea (1950-1953) & Vietnam (1961-1975). Since these were communist attempts of take over, and they occurred during the cold war, these two limited wars, are often referred to as, "HOT BATTLES" of the cold war. The communists failed in Korea, but succeeded in Vietnam.

What turned Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnam against America?

Ho Chi Minh wanted to add South Vietnam to North Vietnam. Over a number of years he built a series of roads and underground caves in preparation for his army to fight to conquer South Vietnam. Then the United States sent an army to prevent him from conquering South Vietnam. Eventually, the Americans decided they could not win and had no desire to continue to have solders killed so they left South Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh never hated America. Instead he wanted South Vietnam and America was in the way.

What role did TV play in the war?

This will depend upon what war you are asking about. In the United States, the first war to be shown regularly on TV was the Vietnam War. The images of fighting, of soldiers dying, of the jungles and civilians being burned and destroyed, caused a societal backlash against the war. This is generally considered one of the major reasons why the US public, and young adults in particular, turned against the war in Vietnam.
