Vietnam is on the coast; the US has a coast. Other than that, Vietnam is located directly due west of Central America, well below the US boundary. Vietnam has some of the heat and humidity of the state of Louisiana and the geography of California (mountains, marshlands, rivers, deltas, etc.).

∙ 14y agoThe US Civil War was a true civil war in that the US was fighting itself. The Vietnam War was not a true civil war; it was not fighting itself. North Vietnam and South Vietnam were separate countries.
The US Civil War was technically illegal, which is why the CSA (Confederate States of America) president, Jefferson Davis was imprisoned at the end of the war; and why so many US Army officers wanted Southern (CSA) prisoners to be hanged or shot as traitors. Union veterans of the war called the civil war, the "war of rebellion", hence the nickname "Rebels." Not the US Civil War, as people do today.
Other than that, the US Civil War & Vietnam War had the following in common:
1. Both were un-declared wars
2. Both were fought by drafted men (Civil War-First draft/Vietnam-Last draft)
3. Both had a US president shot in the head (assassinated)
4. Both had a Johnson preceding the shot president
5. Both wars treated their SOUTHERN veterans badly
6. Both wars, the SOUTH lost the war
7. Both wars, the North was completely victorious
8. Both wars had draft riots
9. Both wars had an assault rifle: Spencer/Henrys & M16s
10. Both wars had a Brown Water Navy (Riverine Warfare-again 1st & last)
11. After both wars came an all volunteer military
12. After both wars came a "Splendid Little War" & "100 Hour War"
13. Both the Spanish/American War & Desert Storm occurred in the 90's.
14. Was stated that both SAW & DS united the American people
15. US military uniform changes occurred after both wars: from blue to khaki & OG fatiques to camoflage.
