The Lessons Learned from Vietnam

Lessons from Vietnam Lorenzo M. Crowell discusses lessons learned by Americans from Vietnamese conflict in his article "Lessons and Ghosts of Vietnam". Cloil analyzed the lessons learned from Vietnam and applied them to today's military strategy. Crowell ignored the comparison of Saddam Hussein 's power and two different wars after a desert storm. Crowell is effective to use direct opinion, latest newspaper, and argument appealing political embarrassment.

The most important lesson learned from the Vietnam conflict is pay attention to President Dwight Elsen Hall's recommendation in 1955 when he said that the United States should not participate in land war and land conflict in Southeast Asia I think it should. If President Kennedy and President Johnson follow this proposal, Vietnam will not exist. After the US intervened in Indochina, General Maxwell Taylor said he believes that dispatching US forces abroad is an appropriate condition. I agree with General Taylor standards and I believe that these motto must be kept after Vietnam's misfortune. First of all, the promised goal must be explained to people on the street in one or two sentences. Second, Congress must clearly support the president. Thirdly, there must be reasonable expectation for success. Finally, we must clarify the interests of the United States.

The citizen pays a very high price for the devastating and misguided war. We have learned the wrong lesson from Vietnam, and we do not seem to have learned from the Iraq war - they are based on lies and false stories. Over the past two decades, I have opposed every war in the change of the Middle East regime - from Iraq to Libya and Syria. Each of these wars shows that Congress is not fulfilling constitutional responsibility for war. Each produced unexpected but completely predictable results - the power of the Iraqi Islamic State and the Syrian state (Islamic state), the power filled by Libyan Al Qaeda and other violent radical groups vacuum

Many lessons were learned during the Vietnam War, but these lessons were not made during the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War. Participation in the Vietnam War in Australia is due to the fear of communism and the fact that America has to unite from becoming our ally. This is one of the most devastating events of our past. When I decided to join the United States where Australia was planning to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, the lessons learned from the Vietnam war were forgotten.
