what was the vietnam war called the useless

I don't recall in particular what the discussion was called but it had a number of ARVN and US vets featured to discuss their experiences in the war, and the US vets generally regarded their ARVN brothers in arms in a positive light recounting stories of women and children gathering supplies to cook food for their troops of what the war meant to them and their families and how ARVN soldiers would aid wounded American soldiers.

Yet, despite this, there are those who hold the exact opposite views. Others yet see the opportunity to demonise the ARVN soldiers, a scapegoating of the US' failures in the war that really should be redirected at policymakers. There seems to be a level of bias and a rhetoric of heroism that certain American vets attempt to uphold. Previous AMAs | Previous Roundtables Featuresįeature posts are posted weekly.
