WW2 men fought an all out total declared war against formidable foes armed with battleships, aircraft carriers, fighter planes, bombers, submarines, paratroopers, and fully equipped and organized fighting men. In the BEGINNING (early 1960's), the Viet Cong (not the North Vietnamese Army/NVA); the VC were largely un-uniformed, used captured small arms (rifles, pistols, machine guns, explosives, etc.) and did not deploy any of the large hardware used by the enemy in WW2. In addition, Vietnam was an un-declared war (as was the US Civil War and Korea); and the US was not willing INVADE North Vietnam and use the ATOMIC BOMB to WIN the war. WW2 veterans WANTED the US to use the atomic bomb and invade North Vietnam; WW2 veterans wanted FIGHT to WIN! WW2 veterans had fought to win WW2; and they only believed in that type of warfare. Consequently, WW2 veterans turned against the Vietnam War and the men that fought it. They believed it was wrong to fight a limited war instead of a total war (total war=using any weapon available/including nuclear weapons). Ultimately, Vietnam did escalate into the massive use of heavy WW2 type weapons, such as the Battleship (USS New Jersey), B-52 Stratofortress SAC bombers, jet fighters, and tanks...but the North was never invaded, as WW2 veterans wanted. WW2 vets could not accept or possibly could not understand, that "their" war (WW2) had been fought (in 1941) before nuclear weapons existed. And that to do so now, (the cold war) could only result in "mutually assured destruction" (since the USSR/Red China also had the "A-Bomb"). WW2 vets, in addition, either forgot history, or didn't care...that when we invaded North Korea during the Korean War, Red China had entered the war, because of that invasion. The US did not wish to repeat that portion of history in the Vietnam War.
Spain and France supported the patriot's war effort.
The South Viet Government had an Air Force, flying A-1 Skyraiders (see film: "Rescue Dawn"-to see the Skyraider attack airplane), F-5 Freedom Fighters (jets), helicopters, and 0-1 Bird Dog observation airplanes. The ARVN (Army Republic of South Vietnam) was the South Viet Army, and they had a Marine Corps, Rangers, artillery and armor (M-41 Walker Bulldog Light Tanks), and later a battalion of M48 Patton medium tanks. The South Viet Government drafted it's men; just like Australia and the US did, and had close to a million men under arms during the war.
it didnt
they didnt
it didnt
Beacuse they served in the military and helped to defend our country. If we didnt have Veterans that would mean that no one served in the military and we could well be a third-world country. We honor our veterans because they are the main cause of our freedom.
The US may have looked like a "paper tiger' to the world after Vietnam...but the communists (USSR & Red China) didn't want to "push their luck."
they were weak and didnt have good weapons like the communnists did, and they werent dedicated and they didnt have much support.
they didnt. they sprayed it in Vietnam
they wanted to stop communism, it didnt work with vietnam and left thousands dead
families felt very worried for their freinds and families and would be scared and anxious for them all the time! some people felt that they didnt need to worry because they knew that they would be strong and help fight ans win.
because they knew that one day it would be their grand children & great grand children living in this world and they didnt want them to go what they went through.
So some rude dude named lazaras deleted all my writing so I have to rewrite it all. Actually Vietnam wasn't a true country there was south vietname and north vietnam the south was with france and then america joined that side, and north vietnam was with soviet union and communist china. The Vietnamese didnt support the us because the us joined in the war supporting the south vietnamese. Hope that answered the question There i copied and pasted so it may look wierd but it was MY answer before it was deleted by lazaras
Nothing - didnt deserve it.
They didnt its a trick question
yes he did but he didnt move them because of jobs he thought they were a threat to the us
they fought for us sssooo much when they didnt to i love them sooooo much
