The Vietnam war lasted between Nov 1, 1955 – Apr 30, 1975 and was a huge controversial topic at the time. Mostly because it divided the nation of the United States because most believed it was an idiotic war in which the United States had no business being in, and Americans were dying for no actual reason that was worth fighting over. This caused a growing anti war movement and when the President decided to recall from the war the Soldiers came home to Joyful Cheers because they were okay but they were NOT celebrated as heroes.
