The Vietnam War: Soldiers’ Experiences
Number of pages:
8
ABSTRACT:
An 8 page analysis of the manner in which the Vietnam War differed in terms of its effect on those that fought. Uses several memoires of the war to explore the factors which made this war different in terms of its psychological impact on its soldiers. The author observes that those that initially had little in common with those with whom they served returned after their tours of duty isolated from friends, family, and society at large. They found identification only with those individuals alongside whom they had served and the circumstances which had shaped them. The reasons for this are many but they revolve around the politics of the war and the American public’s resentment of it. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
