The Pernicious Effects Of The Vietnam War
As any war Vietnam War was cruel and devastating. It carried away lives of millions of Vietnamese civilians , and thousands of Americans, who did not return home. The loss in the war had a pernicious impact on the situation in America, the Vietnam Syndrome appeared when people were disappointed by the policy of the USA and were sure that America shouldn’t interfere in any wars if only it does not concern American national safety. The Vietnam War caused a lot of ruination to the Vietnamese and Americans. America dropped more bombs on Vietnam than all of World War II, killing millions of Vietnamese civilians, mostly children. America was supposed to be helping South Vietnam in a battle against communism, not poisoning their water,
killing millions of acres of their crops, and cutting down their trees. The Vietnamese were also forced to move from their homes or have their villages be bombed or destroyed by the United States. How would you feel if you were in that situation? The Vietnam War was harmful to America too. We lost over 55,000 American lives in the war. Not only that, but we also lost confidence and trust in our government too, for while the people were protesting, the government wouldn’t listen.
