Reading Reflection #5
Response to "From Saigon to Baghdad"
When reading this article, I found it incredibly interesting how the Vietnam War still impacts politics and national decisions to this day. The impact that the Vietnam War had on the United States and other countries was so profound because of the long duration of the war and because of the severe loss felt by all countries involved. When correlating decisions made about the Vietnam War to the war in Baghdad, we can see the similarities and differences that caused so much public uproar. It is not uncommon for the public to become enraged with the loss of so many soldiers, and the seemingly waste of time that the United States appeared to have spent. Because of this impact that the Vietnam War had, we can feel the impact of the war to this day.
Question: What could have been done to stop the Vietnam War from being so negatively impactful on the world?
