An Unwinnable War

When the United States finds itself in the "war on terror" of today, it is easy for people to find many similarities in today's situation and the Vietnam War. As the Taliban gradually loses control and power over Afghanistan it is very important to discuss potential alternative government. Like Vietnam in the 1950s and 1960s, Afghanistan is a very confused country full of people speaking various dialects and various religions. It is therefore extremely important that the government that is set up is a government that can maintain some kind of control or authority over the various people.

The Vietnam War extended the term of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Ford. Every President suffers from an invincible war in progress in Indochina. However, President Nixon and President Ford promise to win war in some way. However, President Nixon decided to develop the South Vietnamese Army into the United States to protect himself from North Vietnam and other invading countries. Therefore, Nixonism did not focus directly on Communist containment, but instead focused on developing their own indigenous military power, not by protecting developing countries through war statements against invaders.

America can definitely win in Vietnam, but war can not be understood at the level of commitment and sacrifice of thinking that our country is willing to maintain war. As the famous historian George Haring says, warf can not win in a "meaningful" way, in terms of the moral or material cost that most Americans think is acceptable. "Perhaps Vietnam's important lesson is that if the reasons for war are not enough to require our leaders to sacrifice all Americans for the pursuit of victory, perhaps we should not fight at all No sacrifice for those who sacrifice their lives at overseas battle theaters and endanger their country

In early January 1969, 21-year-old Steven A. Wauk (infantry who arrived in the Cam Lan Bay of Vietnam as an infantry) is constantly upgrading and increasing more and more fighting in the winning war. As of June, Wowwk had two injuries - the second serious injury - was sent back to the Chelsea Naval Hospital in Boston, USA for treatment. Wowwk and other injured soldiers were tied to the garney with a modified bus and were very excited to return to the country of the United States. But when I saw the window and watched the citizens stop seeing the small fleet of hospital cars, his excitement was chaotic. "I remember what I can do to acknowledge them, I just gave a sign of peace," Wowwk said. "I got my middle finger rather than releasing my fingers of peace"
