In March 1968 the Charlie Platoon entered My Lai. In 4 hours the American soldiers killed 400 of the villagers, because it was suspected as a haunt for the Vietcong. They also raped and tortured the villagers. The lieutenant William Calley was in 1971 sentenced to life long prison for leading the Platoon. This is just one out of many examples of how the american soldiers reacted to the tough military training and physical pressure.

The FNL-soldiers were hiding in the jungle, and because they were hiding, the american soldiers used Agent Orange, which made the leaves fall off.
The american soldiers also used fragmentation bombs.

In the late 1960's the press focused on America's lack of succes in Vietnam. The American soldiers in Vietnam would refuse to take orders from their generals, because they didn't support the methods of killing and the brutality.
The number of deserters rose from 47.000 in 1967 to 89.000 in 1971.
This meant that many soldiers illegally left the war.
The veterans formed a group called "The Vietnam veterans against the war". Soldiers who had received a war medal for their dedication, threw them away in contempt because of the White House's Vietnam policies.

The Vietnam veterans were treated badly after returning from war. They were not accepted and reintegrated in the american society, because they where made scapegoats for the goverments failing war policies. At last in 1982 they got a memorial wall, but this was exclusively paid by the veterans themselves.

Most of the American soldiers came to Vietnam believing it was a war about the world peace as in the WW2 – the average age for the American soldier was 19 years and most of the soldiers was killed by snipers or mines (or in directly battle) This strategy confused the Americans, and they could no longer see who the enemy was, between the civilians and the Vietcong. This was the main reason why the American soldiers lost their moral.
Most of the American soldiers did not even know where Vietnam was located, and they could not understand why the country was in war. The communism was the real enemy, but where could they find this enemy?

American and South Vietnam did not have control over the situation in Vietnam.
The media reported daily information about the american soldiers and how they lived, and they were being killed.
The american citizens started the resistance against the war in small groups that then became bigger.
Those groups were formed by educated people, the american working class and anti racism groups leaded by Martin Luther King, because there were a lot of black american soldiers dying i Vietnam.

Vietnam became communists after the war. Things such as mines and destroyed buildings were to be rebuild.
After the war Vietnam had big economic problems because big parts of the world all exchange of goods with Vietnam. A change was going to come, so in 1994 all countries started to make trades and exchanges with Vietnam again. Today Vietnam welcomes the world into the new and changed Vietnam, where people again can make deals with
