Describe the average American G.I. What was his/her experience in vietnam?

English

stepladder [879]3 years ago
7 0

Some GI volunteered to go to Vietnam. But many of the soldiers who went were drafted into the service, ineligible for a student deferment because they had never been to college.

They had to deal with several frustrations particular to the war in Vietnam. Many were brought in piecemeal as replacements within existing units, which made them feel disconnected from the larger group. And with no geographical lines separating friend from foe, the GI in the field couldn't trust anyone. Villagers might be innocent civilians or Viet Cong sympathizers.

The majority of American soldiers never witnessed large-scale battles or suffered through the terror of a jungle ambush during their one-year tours. But when they did, dozens of men could die within minutes. If they are lucky enough to survive the year until his Date Eligible for Return from Overseas, or DEROS, they get to go back home in one piece.


Hope it helps

cheers

HELP PLS I NEED THIS QUICK!
Marat540 [252]
Simple. First you would make an outline coming up with the reasons that support your subject. Then next you would fill them in a straight line down. So to start your intro write a hook to grab your readers attention. Then after write your supporting reasons after. Thats the intro. After your intro to write your first paragraph write your claim and counterclaim. Like if i was going to say dogs are better then cats i would write"Although dogs are popular pets so are cats but are preferred as they cost less due to survey done by geoplanet or some other company name." The write a another sentence like the first followed by a second just like i did above a topic as well as supporting factor. Then for your second paragraph use your second reason as well as a supporting detail following the same format as your first and then third if your teacher requires it. Then for a conclusion write something like In conclusion "dogs are better since they cost less, love to play, and are good for protection against burglars" to sum up your three reasons.
