Essay / Research Paper Abstract
(6 pp) War is never a pretty picture. However
it has been glorified in past United States history
as a noble effort for those who believed in
rotecting "the undefended." World War I, the
Great War destroyed the idea of "noble" and "war"

and won in World War II; soldiers were seen as
"liberators." Korea was only a "conflict." Yet
the Vietnam War destroyed parts of the United
States and its beliefs in an overt, as well as a
much more covert way.

fierce protection of ancestral land was nothing new to the people trapped in between warring factions. The names given geographical places may have changed, but war continued. The
United States and over thirty allies championed South Vietnam by supplying advice, troops and supplies. The Peoples Republic of China and the USSR supplied the Viet Cong of North
