A WAR BETWEEN THE CLASSES
An American analysis conducted a few years later concluded: and the war became in a real sense a class war. This was because the poor came under the control of the Front. What was so difficult for American observers to understand, although hundreds of prisoners, defectors, and suspects said so in thousands of pages of transcript interviews, was that the Front included the poor, who interpreted the support they received from Hanor neither as contradiction nor contamination but as Affirmation that Vietnam was one country. pg 73 Vietnam Wars.
The war in Vietnam occurred during the Cold War, and has been viewed as an indirect conflict between the United States and Soviet Union, with each nation and its allies supporting one side North Vietnam and South Vietnam.
United States: 58,119 killed, 153,303 wounded, 1,948 missing in action
A tragedy we should of never endured. This was clearly not our war to fight. The war in Vietnam was not a war of aggression by the North against the South, nor was it ever a purely conventional war. From start to finish, the Vietnam War was a people's war. A War in which the United States had no business entering. The aftermath of this war is still being felt by so many soldiers today physically and emotionally.
I understand that our country needs to be viewed as a powerful force to be wreckoned with, but why is it always, we stick our noses where we do not belong and so many of our men and women die.
