	Vietnam War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		North Vietnam and the USSR supported the NLF with arms and supplies, advisors, and regular units of the North Vietnamese Army, which were transported via an extensive network of trails and roads through the neutral nation of Laos, which became known as the Ho Chi Minh trail.
		The single notable element of actual increased U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War during 1964 was a program of covert GVN operations, designed to impose "progressively escalating pressure" upon the North, and initiated on a small and essentially ineffective scale in February.
		In addition, the Vietnam War was unprecedented for the intensity of media coverage--it has been called the first television war--as well as for the stridency of opposition to the war by the so-called "New Left." The international opinion condemn the US intervention in Vietnam, with massive rallies in almost all countries.

	Vietnam War
		The Vietnam War was in many ways a direct successor to the First Indochina War, (or French Indochina War) in which the French, with the financial and logistical support of the United States, fought to regain control of their former colony in Indochina.
		This reflected the concept that being undeclared, the war was an action of a lesser or different nature, continuing a post-World War II trend of casting war in a new context, as in the Korean War, described as a police action under the auspices of the United Nations.
		Proponents of the war argued that the conflict was something less than a formal war, that the U.S. was assisting a properly engaged ally in defending itself and that the lack of a declaration was a formality.

		While a search for statistics at the Veteran’s Administration about the number of alcoholic Vietnam veterans ended up with few results, the number of problem drinkers in the general population is staggering.
		While the correlation between boozers and Vietnam service appears about the same as for those who have never fired an M-16 as a temporary government job, there are still a lot Vietnam veterans that have fallen into the “cunning and baffling” throes of alcoholism, as Alcoholics Anonymous advocates say.
		Most members did not go so far as one Navy veteran who said, “We have lot more buildings than they have terrorist squads.” Most agreed it was one more example of the insanity that they had left behind when they took their last drink.

	"SONGS OF ARMY AVIATORS IN THE VIETNAM WAR"
		I joined the Vietnam Veterans Oral History and Folklore Project in 1992 as the Army representative to assist Lydia Fish in locating and archiving the many songs composed, performed, and recorded by army personnel in Vietnam.
		This song is a clear example of the pride in unit and country that existed among all the units in Vietnam in the 1966 to 1967 period.
		The pace of the war and the one year limit on the tour length without a voluntary extension, which most people were loathe to do, caused the Army to vastly increase the number of pilots to man the thousands of helicopters now in Vietnam.

	t r u t h o u t - Rumsfeld Apologizes to Vietnam Veterans
		People were brought in to the armed services during the Vietnam era because they were drafted, under penalty of prison or estrangement from their country, and were paid a fraction of the going rate in the civilian marketplace because of the basic nature of that forced conscription.
		Foremost on this list is George W. Bush, leader of the free world, who was eased into a National Guard posting in Texas in 1972, and who by all accounts failed to show up for this duty for some 17 months.
		I always have had the highest respect for their service, and I offer my full apology to any veteran who misinterpreted my remarks when I said them, or who may have read any of the articles or columns that have attempted to take my words and suggest they were disparaging.

		One of the few positive legacies of the war in Vietnam is that it spawned a notable and highly accomplished group of American novelists, journalists and photographers, many of them veterans of that divisive conflict.
		The result is a powerful visual and verbal record of the war, most often on the ground from the American fighting man's point of view.
		In Under Fire, one of the most daring combat photographers of the Vietnam War, Catherine Leroy, pairs her work and that of other acclaimed photographers-–among them Larry Burrows, Henri Huet, and Don McCullin–with moving, evocative essays from an equally stellar roster of writers, including David Halberstam, Philip Caputo, Neil Sheehan, and Tim O’Brien.

		Other notable political experts (some of whom were featured in the film) have been invited to participate in the panel discussion.
		Davis said after a special screening for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, "We were lied to in both wars." The Gulf of Tonkin incident was used to justify deeper American involvement in Vietnam, he said, just as fears about weapons of mass destruction were used to justify invading Iraq.
		Premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1974, Davis’s film—highly anticipated at the time given his reputation for provocative telejournalism on politically sensitive subjects—quickly drew media attention for its unflinching examination of the then-recent conflict and its implications for America’s role in the world.
