Vietnam War: A History in Song by Benjamin Wang https://padlet.com/wang_guohao_benjamin/xhwyl59pedvl5lcb en-us 2020-04-23 00:36:13 UTC 2026-03-13 07:39:03 UTC hello@padlet.com akhilaa_brihenayagi_i_yogarajah https://padlet.com/wang_guohao_benjamin/xhwyl59pedvl5lcb/wish/524598978 This article presents the more human side of the war that is often left undiscussed when discussing wars. I learnt a lot more on the impact of the war on the soldiers' families and also the impact on the civlians who were basically helpess in the face of the war.

After reading this, I would like to explore more pop culture of the 70s-80s referencing the Vietnam War to gain a deeper insight into the views of the masses on the war.

People also started to protest more as they wanted an end to the war, especially families whom members are deployed to be soldiers in Vietnam. ]]> 2020-04-23 02:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/wang_guohao_benjamin/xhwyl59pedvl5lcb/wish/524605441 we didn't start the fire by billy joel silver_er_zhi_rong https://padlet.com/wang_guohao_benjamin/xhwyl59pedvl5lcb/wish/524607991 2020-04-23 02:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wang_guohao_benjamin/xhwyl59pedvl5lcb/wish/524607991 xueeyingg https://padlet.com/wang_guohao_benjamin/xhwyl59pedvl5lcb/wish/524608287 The war showed a new side of perspective that was never shown in textbooks, about how the civil rights of Americans is also a huge problem with the Vietnam War and how the war have impacted not just Americans but more on the families and the soldiers themselves as some families might even blame the soldiers for not winning the war
