Life in the Vietnam War

Life in the Vietnam war  was a lot more difficult then you would think. Not only was the terrain rugged and filled with booby traps, but the Vietcong was good at fighting on it. The temperatures were very hot and humid and those are thing the U.S soldiers were not used to. Also, the soldiers didn't know what kind of enemy they were fighting. They had many underground tunnels and were very well supplied. They seemed very prepared to the Americans. sometimes even the U.S couldn't tell the difference between a south Vietnam person and a north one. most of the time the south Vietnam people didn't even want us to be there. However, I do believe the young Americans should be there to fight against the communism. Since that is the main goal that we are trying to prevent from spreading in other parts of the world.
