Lack Of Opportunity In Vietnam
The U.S has not made significant progress on our ideal of opportunity even though it has claimed to follow------. An example of the lack of opportunity in the U.S. can be seen during the time period of the Vietnam War which was from November 1, 1955, to April 30, 1975. The Vietnam war was a protracted conflict between the communist government of North Vietnam and the anti-communist government of South Vietnam, the communist government created a militia known as the Viet Cong against the government of South Vietnam and the United States who later joined to become an ally. This event that took place caused many U.S. citizens rights to being violated in the sense that many were drafted without choice and if not willing to go they were sent into
imprisonment. When looking at the event that took place in the U.S. shows that much of the opportunity given to U.S. citizens were taken away in the sense that when they did not want to fight in the war, and from this gives insight to how the Vietnam War became to be known as the longest war in U.S. history, until the war in Afghanistan which began (2002-2014). In this war, the U.S. failed to achieve military success and the Republic of South Vietnam, in the end was taken over by North Vietnam, and this experience that happened in Vietnam became to be known as “the only war America ever lost.” This war that took place remains a very controversial topic to this day and continues to affect much of the political and military decisions today.
Of the many troops used to fight in the Vietnam War, the U.S. deployed 540,000 American soldiers to fight in the Vietnam war
The U.S. suffered over 47,000 killed soldiers in combat and another 11,000 noncombat deaths; over 150,000 were wounded and 10,000 soldiers were missing and this all happened throughout the course of the war.
