The North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union, China and other communist allies and the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States, South Korea, Australia, Thailand and other anti-communist allies. The President during this time was President Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. The US and South Vietnam were successful during the war, but nothing good really came after the war for either side.

Political Figures - The long and traumatic conflict began to cause a mistrust in the political figures that were making the big decisions in the war. The continuous massacres during the several president’s terms put American citizens in a difficult place to put trust in their leaders. In the eyes of the colonists, the government was no longer credible. After the Vietnam war, the government did not have a good reputation for years after.

Women:
1,000 military women were stationed in Vietnam during the conflict. Nearly all of them were volunteers, and 90 percent served as military nurses, though women also worked as physicians, air traffic controllers, intelligence officers, clerks and other positions in the U.S. military. In addition to the U.S. military women who served in Vietnam, an unknown number of female civilians willingly gave their services on Vietnamese soil during the conflict. Many of them worked on behalf of the American Red Cross, Army Special Services, United Service Organizations (USO), Peace Corps, and various religious groups such as Catholic Relief Services.

Military-  Congress also passed the War Powers Resolution (or War Powers Act) over Nixon’s veto in November 1973, which restricted the president’s power to send American troops into combat for more than 90 days without explicit Congressional consent. The resolution represent legislators’ desire to restrain presidential power and to prevent further U.S. involvement in a war like Vietnam.

The federal government’s reputation went downhill due to this war. They lost all credibility and trust in the people. The citizens had little to no room to put any trust in the political figures and the quick end to Nixon’s presidency only put them deeper into the hole they put themselves into.
