Vietnam War

Change of Prior Duty (ChPriDu) in Vietnam is used when an officer needs to be reassigned from their current position to a new duty due to specific reasons such as personal circumstances, health issues, or organizational needs. It allows for a change in the officer's responsibilities and duties without affecting their overall military status or position.

Agent Orange, a powerful herbicide used during the Vietnam War, was used to remove leaves and vegetation in Vietnam. However, it had severe health and environmental consequences.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall is located in Washington, D.C., in the United States. It is situated near the Lincoln Memorial and is a popular site for visitors to pay their respects to those who served in the Vietnam War.

A man, born just after 12:00 a.m. DST, was able to circumvent the Vietnam War draft by using a daylight saving time loophole. When drafted, he argued that standard time, not DST, was the official time for recording births in his state of Delaware in the year of his birth. Thus, under official standard time he was actually born on the previous day—and that day had a much higher draft lottery number, allowing him to avoid the draft.

In the experiment, a teacher was instructed by a scientist to administer electric shocks to a victim as part of a science experiment. Milgram's experiment showed how an expert or an authority figure can easily coerce humans into doing something which goes against their own judgement. This is exactly what made the My Lai Massacre happen.

Soldiers risk their lives to protect the country, defend freedom, and uphold the values they believe in. They are willing to make sacrifices to ensure the safety and security of their fellow citizens.

Propaganda was important to both sides in the Vietnam War. The Vietnamese used propaganda to inspire their troops and civilians to fight against foreign intervention, while the Americans used propaganda to justify their involvement in the war and garner support for their efforts at home. Both sides utilized propaganda to shape public opinion and perception of the war.

Push factors are circumstances that compel people to leave their current residence, such as political instability, economic hardship, or natural disasters, while pull factors are the attractions that draw individuals to a new location, such as job opportunities, better living conditions, or a higher quality of life. Together, these factors influence an individual's decision to migrate by creating the need or desire to seek a new home.

As of 2021, it is estimated that there are approximately 200,000 people in the world named Mia. This number may vary slightly due to new births and changing naming trends.

It is difficult to provide an exact percentage as preferences vary among individuals. However, some people may prefer terms like Hispanic or specific nationalities (e.g., Mexican, Colombian) over the term Latino. It is important to respect individuals' preferences for how they identify ethnically or culturally.

Since North Vietnam was under steady US Bombing campaigns, most of their front page news centered around "2 US Jets Shot Down", with pilots captured. Big news was shooting down a B-52 Bomber. US Airmen (POWS) were their best propaganda news items however.

North and South Vietnam were unified in 1976 to form the Socialist Republic of Vietnam after the end of the Vietnam War. The North Vietnamese Army captured Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, in 1975, leading to the unification of the country under communist rule.

At the time of the Vietnam War, North Vietnam was led by Ho Chi Minh, who was the founder of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. South Vietnam was led by President Ngo Dinh Diem until 1963 when he was overthrown and later by Nguyen Van Thieu.

Hồ Chí Minh was leader of Vietnam from 2 September 1945 - 2 September 1969. Ton Duc Thang was leader from September 2, 1969 - March 30, 1980 Commanders in the Vietnam War were

I have learned a lot from this experience and I plan to use this knowledge to continue growing and improving. I will reflect on my progress, identify areas of strength and weakness, and set goals for further learning and development in the future. Overall, this experience has been valuable in helping me to become a better learner and practitioner in my field.

It could have if we kept on supporting the ARVN. The South fought pretty good with our money and support from the U.S Air Force. They could have defended South Vietnam very well. Just look at the 1972 Easter Offensive. It was a massive invasion from the North and they were squashed by the ARVN and the USAF. Nixon cut off money and withdrew the USAF. The South knew that they would lose and ultimately gave up. The North, backed from the USSR and China easily took over South Vietnam. Then a lot of bad things happened. Many South Vietnamese were massacred, tortured, brainwashed, etc. There are so many South Viets here in America that tell the stories of the horrid things the Viet government did and still do. South Vietnam probably would have one the war if they still had our money and air support.

Khe Sahn was miserable. When the road to Dong Ha was closed supply lines were available only by unreliable air lifts. Helicopters lacked the defensive ability to continue either supply or evacuaation. USAF aircraft made a valiant effort to bring in supplies and munitions and they suffered losses. Aircraft brought in tons of artillery shells that fit no weapon located at Khe Sahn, and pallets of .45 ACP ammunition that could only be used by a few hundred pistols. The airstrip became a junkyard of burned up aircraft and unuseable trash. Sanitation became deplorable. Medical evacuation beame impossible. Marine airlift also failed, it brought in the correct product, but in inadequte volumns. The infrastructure was failing. The outpost hills could no longer provide support, and the methodical encroachment of the VietMinh continued. Khe Sahn became a ghetto, a sewer and an American Dien Bien Phu.

The U.S. became involved in Vietnam to contain the spread of communism during the Cold War. It viewed Vietnam as a strategic location in Southeast Asia and sought to prevent the domino effect of one country falling to communism leading to others doing the same. Additionally, the U.S. had a commitment to support South Vietnam in its fight against the communist North Vietnamese forces.

The term 'Domino Theory' is a political term. It was used during the Cold War to describe the belief that if one country fell to communism, neighboring countries would also fall like a row of dominoes.

Kennedy's unhappiness with the corrupt Diem regime in South Vietnam led to his tacit approval of a coup to overthrow Diem in 1963. However, the coup resulted in political instability and ultimately contributed to the escalation of the Vietnam War.

Because, as a rule, people (colonists) don't like to be ruled, especially when they're being treated like second class citizens in their own country; hence the rise of nationalism=national pride.

American perfectionism refers to the societal pressure and expectation to strive for flawlessness and achievement in all areas of life. It often leads to high levels of stress, anxiety, and self-criticism as individuals pursue impossible standards of success and happiness. This can impact mental health and wellbeing negatively.

From looking at the casualties, they seem to mirror the age of the average US serviceman.

The story of the dove and the hawks is a fable that illustrates the idea that unity is strength. In the story, a group of hawks terrorizes a group of doves until they decide to unite and stand up against their common enemy. Through their unity, the doves are able to drive away the hawks and live peacefully together.
