Over 58,000 U.S. soldiers died in the Vietnam War (Vietnam War U.S. Military Fatal Casualty Statistics 1). That is a lot of lives lost, but just imagine the families that those men belonged to. Each soldier could have had a wife and two kids. That increases the impact of the war by four times! The war was not worth the hundreds of thousands of lives ruined.

The government sent more and more bombs over to Vietnam (Political carton #1). This caused the Vietcong to begin more attacks of the U.S. soldiers. So not only did the U.S. loose to many lives, but they also lost to many
