7 . The Vietnam War had a significant impact on American Society and US
Foreign Policy .
TRUE
The United States was gradually drawn into the war as part of its Cold
War against international communism . The successes of the Vietcong and
insatiability of South Vietnam worried United States leaders . Fear of
the spread of communism in Asia as well as in Europe involved the United
States in war in Vietnam and Southeast Asia as a whole . Successive
American presidents from Eisenhower to Nixon poured more and more aid ,
troops and war equipment to keep the North from conquering South Vietnam (Berman , 1982 .
When the Vietnam War dragged on it involved hundreds of thousands of
United States troops . By 1968 , some Americans rejected the view that the
war was vital to national security and that the United States had the
responsibility to preserve order around the world . These dissenting
Americans expressed their opinions in antiwar demonstrations in the late
1960s and early 1970s . In 1968 , President Lyndon Johnson decided not to
seek re-election but concentrated his efforts on achieving a ceasefire .
At the end of March 1968 , he halted much of the bombing of North Vietnam (Berman , 1991 .
Peace talks began in Paris in 1968 , but American troops remained in
Vietnam for another five years . Also in this year , in his campaign for
the presidency , Richard Nixon pledged to end the war honorably . Henry
Kissinger , who served first as a national security adviser and then as
Nixon 's Secretary of State , became a dominant figure in foreign policy
decision in the Nixon era . In 1969 , President Richard M . Nixon , ordered
the withdrawal of troops but continued bombing raids and ground
fighting .
The Vietnam War was one of the costliest and deadliest wars in modern
history . The costs of the war to the United States had been great more
than 56 ,000 Americans killed and about 300 ,00 wounded . In addition , many
American soldiers remained missing in action by 1988 . Six other
countries that sent troops to Vietnam suffered 5 ,225 casualties . More
than 1 .3 million South Vietnamese died . More than 2 million North
Vietnamese and Vietcong guerillas were killed . During the last days
alone , some 5 ,595 South Vietnamese officials , army officers , and their
families were airlifted to the United States (Brown , 2001 .
The New Vietnam is now so different from the old . Vietnam has opened
diplomatic relations with the United States , its former enemy , and other
democratic countries (Brown , 2001 . Just like the enormous and erroneous
fatality rate in the Vietnam War , by winning the war today in Iraq and
losing the peace in the world as a whole , the Bush Administration failed
and will always fail to make adequate contingency plans in the event the
bombing did not work . He had made an unacceptable error of overlooking
the amplified possibility of fatalities (Friedman , 2005 . True enough ,
if there is any parallel to Vietnam in all of this , it is in the...
