Vietnam War

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.

The belief was that swallowing cotton balls would show up as a shadow in x-rays during the physical examine. Thus eliminating them from service...as a shadow would indicate an underlying health problem, such as a tumor.

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."

The Vietnam Conflict, the Indochina war. The people and government in Vietnam today refer to it as the American War.

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.

The Watergate scandal, which ultimately led to Nixon's resignation in 1974, did happen during his presidency. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT) with the Soviet Union did occur during Nixon's presidency, resulting in the SALT I treaty in 1972. The Apollo 11 moon landing, a significant achievement in space exploration, took place in 1969 during Nixon's first term. Therefore, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 did not happen during Nixon's presidency.

In the spring of 1963, South Vietnamese forces suppressed Buddhist religious leaders and followers, which led to a political crisis for the government of President Ngo Dinh Diem.

Secession=Withdrawing

Succession=Following in order (next in line)

1. Therefore; "When does a community undergo succession?"....from what?

2. And if you really meant to say "secession" instead of "succession"...then again...secession from what?

sir, its the question that we are given, its not our fault its really vague.

but im guessing after major ecological changes

The gulf of tonkin resolution was passed by President Johnson, in 1964, in responce to the attacks launched by the north vietnamese, against the American ships in the gulf of tonkin.

Iraq has been extremely popular for the media and public ever since Desert Storm in '91. For two reasons: Armageddon the popular bibical name for the old battlefield of Megiddo in or near Israel & and the bible itself. Since Iraq is right next door to those historical events/sources (or legends, depending upon whose giving the lecture), people are interested in events there.

"IF" today's young people (today's 20 something generation) were to visit the 1960's in a time machine, they would witness monthly occurrences of military confrontations in that region. In fact, combat in those regions were so common, few in America, Britain & Europe paid little heed to them. Being in the midst of a serious cold war (a potential atomic war), the superpowers had bigger fish to fry.

Now that big fish is gone. So the little fish get a lot of attention now.
