Vietnam War

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. Vietnam split into North and South after the Geneva Accords in 1954, following the First Indochina War. The North was controlled by the communists under Ho Chi Minh, while the South was led by anti-communist forces. It was like a messy divorce that led to the Vietnam War, honey.

The Vietnam War was primarily fought between North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union and China, and South Vietnam, supported by the United States and its allies. The conflict arose out of the division of Vietnam following the First Indochina War and the subsequent Geneva Accords in 1954. The war lasted from 1955 to 1975 and resulted in the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.

Oh, dude, a decorated veteran is basically a military member who got a bunch of shiny medals for doing cool stuff like being brave and heroic in battle. It's like getting a participation trophy, but way more impressive and way less likely to collect dust on a shelf. So yeah, decorated veterans are basically the MVPs of the military world, getting recognized for their badassery with all those fancy badges and ribbons.

There is no credible evidence to suggest that POWs were systematically castrated during the Vietnam War. While there were reports of torture and mistreatment of POWs during the conflict, castration was not a documented practice by the North Vietnamese captors. It is important to rely on verified historical records and reputable sources when examining such sensitive and serious allegations.

During the Vietnam War, a total of 16 US General officers were killed in action. These General officers held ranks ranging from Brigadier General to Major General. Their deaths were a significant loss to the US military leadership during the conflict.

USAF, USN, USCG, normally wanted 3 o 4 yrs out of a man; the USMC & USA settled for a minimum of a 2 yr enlistment. Draftees did 2 yrs; USA or USMC. Men sent to Vietnam did 12 months...their trng was roughly 6 months, thus they did 18 months out of 24 months with a very good chance of an early out (if "Nam" time) at 18 months (instead of the full 24 months active duty).

Bottom line: a drafted man did 24 months active duty; if he went to "Nam", he might only do 18 months active duty.

Men could volunteer for 2 yrs. But they got what the army gave them (infantry!). If he volunteered for 3 or more yrs he got to choose his MOS school (he was not guaranteed the Job...ONLY THE SCHOOL). Another words, if a man chose tanks, then he was guaranteed tank school (armor school), after he graduated he could still be sent to the infantry, etc.

Yes, females did pilot helicopters in the Vietnam War. The Women's Army Corps (WAC) included a group of female helicopter pilots known as the Women's Army Corps Helicopter Pilots (WACHP). These women served as helicopter pilots in Vietnam, flying various missions including medical evacuations, transportation, and reconnaissance. Their contributions were significant and paved the way for future generations of female military aviators.

Oh, dude, like, the US probably had a lot on their plate at the time, you know? Dealing with Ho Chi Minh's request was probably just not a top priority for them. Plus, who has time to respond to every single request that comes their way? Like, come on, give them a break.

North and South Vietnam officially joined together on July 2, 1976, to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. It was the result of the North Vietnamese government's victory in the Vietnam War, which led to the unification of the country under communist rule. So, there you have it, they became one big happy communist family in '76.

During the Vietnam War, and in previous wars fought by the United States Army, such as the Korean War, WWII, WWI, Spanish-American of 1898, etc. Leader's have received some of the highest casualty rates. The US Army, as is (or maybe was, there are a lot of untraditional changes taking place within the traditional armed forces; the armed forces "might" be evolving into something different than the way mankind has had armed forces in the past) all or most of other nations, divided into two groups (During the Vietnam War): Enlisted men and officers. The "private" is entry level into the US Army. The "2nd Lieutenant" is the entry level into the officer corps. In Vietnam most 2LT's were promoted to 1LT almost immediately upon arrival "in country", just as new Privates were almost immediately promoted to PFC (Private First Class) as soon as they landed. Just a little incentive & extra pay for getting shot at.

Since both the Private and the Lieutenant are both new; they don't know how to walk (fast or slow), they don't know where to walk (off the trail, is it a trail?), they are inexperienced in using voice and hand/arm signals in the field, and directing a machingun to fire one way, when maybe the experienced '60 gunner knows where to fire because he was in "contact" here yesterday (before the LT arrived). These are some routine daily examples. And if the LT's wearing his rank, or talking on the radio (PRC-25), or giving hand/arm signals...he might be finished, if they're in a fight. In addition, officers are (or were in Vietnam) trained to be "AGGRESSIVE", lead from the front...add this attitude to the rank, signals and radio, and the clock's really ticking now! In many of the so called, "firefights" of the day, towards the ending years, in every "contact" we had, our officers were amongst or the only casualties. So, to answer your question, his survival was not "normally" measured in days or weeks, it was measured in "the first battle", "CONTACT!" as we called it. If the LT survived his first "contact", and it was a "hot" one, then "he's good to go!" (He'll probably survive).

According to all records, the life expectancy was expected to be 16 minutes.

Well, honey, back in the day, some folks thought swallowing cotton balls soaked in orange juice would make them fail the military physical by causing a fake medical condition. Spoiler alert: it didn't work. It was just a silly and ineffective attempt to dodge the draft.

Yes, the USAF C-130 aircraft was used to spray Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. These aircraft were equipped with special tanks and spraying equipment to disperse the herbicide over large areas of land. The use of Agent Orange by the military has been linked to serious health issues for both military personnel and civilians exposed to the chemical.

NGOs are non-governmental organisations are not-for-profit organisations, voluntary associations of people and communieties, may work at local, regional, national or international level. The are organised for a mission with aims and objects of common social good. NGOs determine issues and programmes according to their aims and implement through various activities. They get funding from the charities, donors and Government agencies to perform social services and humanitarian functions. They are the catalists of society and work as a agent of social change to bridge the gap between people and Governments ensuring people's participation in development for implementation of programmes and projects. Mainly there are two type of NGOs first, the development based NGOs those are engaged in developmental work and resource management; and others are issue based NGOs, working for civil and fundamental rights of people and communities.

Well, friend, public opinion polls can vary based on who is being asked and when they are asked. During the early stages of the Iraq war, there was a significant amount of support from the public. However, opinions may have shifted over time as events unfolded. Remember, it's important to consider different perspectives and sources when looking at public opinion.

A fair estimate would be counting South Vietnamese civilians as the highest casualty numbers from VC activity. US military casualties from VC engagements would be from Military Regions III and IV (III Corps & IV Corps/all AOs south of the Central Highlands). From II Corps up was NVA territory; south of it was VC territory.

As a rule of thumb; during the war, VC tended to prey upon villagers; the NVA took on the military (uniformed draftees fighting uniformed draftees).

The correct usage is "an NGO."

The choice between "a" and "an" depends on the sound that follows it, not just the letter. In this case, "NGO" starts with a vowel sound (pronounced as "en-jee-oh"), so "an" is used before it. It's based on the pronunciation, not specifically the letter "N" in "NGO."

Oh, honey, where do I start? Chaotic, brutal, divisive, deadly. It was a hot mess, plain and simple. Those were some dark days, let me tell you.

Ours or theirs?

Communists aimed to dismantle the capitalist system, which they viewed as exploitative and unequal, favoring the wealthy elite at the expense of the working class. They sought to abolish private property, believing it led to class divisions and oppression. Ultimately, their goal was to establish a classless society where the means of production were collectively owned and controlled by the community.
