Vietnam War

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.

President Lydon B. Johnson Lied to the American people and claimed that the North Vietnamese navy patrol boats had attacked USA naval destroyers in the Gulf of Tonkin and asked Congress for permission to attack North Vietnam in retaliation. Later, LBJ admitted that what really happened was the sailors on the USA ships saw some whales, or flying fish, and overreacted.

To remember those lost in the Vietnam War, you can participate in memorial events or ceremonies dedicated to honoring veterans and fallen soldiers. Visit war memorials or pay your respects at veterans' cemeteries. Educate yourself about the war and its impact by reading books, watching documentaries, or speaking to veterans and their families to gain a deeper understanding of their sacrifice.

About 345 men from Puerto Rico died in the Viet War. They weren't all soldiers, some were US Marines, Airmen and Sailors. Often times those men killed in action were awarded the Bronze Star medal. A photo of their (military issue) headstone will state what medal was issued (posthumously). The US military lists MOH recipients but not normally lesser awards.

The Mexican War of 1846-1848.

The Alamo (1836) was NOT part of US military actions; the Alamo was a TEXAS fight for independence from Mexico.

US Indian Wars continued however; in 1835, 107 settlers were killed at Wahoo Swamp, during the 2nd Seminole War, Florida.

The Vietnam War was primarily sparked by the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union. The U.S. sought to contain the spread of communism, while North Vietnam, supported by the Soviet Union and China, aimed to unify Vietnam under a communist regime. The war resulted in heavy casualties on both sides, massive destruction, and deep divisions within American society. Ultimately, North Vietnam's victory led to the reunification of Vietnam under communist rule.

General William Westmoreland was approximately 6 feet (183 cm) tall.

According to available information, there were around 2,225 search and rescue missions conducted by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War. These missions were aimed at locating and rescuing downed aircrews or individuals in distress.
