While the general public was celebrating and treated the WW1 and WW2 veterans well, they were generally angry at the Vietnam veterans, mistreated them, called them names, etc.

The difference between the two was that the WW1 and 2 was viewed as saviors of the world, helping to win a battle that they didn't exactly want to fight, but were dragged in

while, the Vietnam soldiers were losing a fight that they weren't wanting to be part of. (its worse that they were fighting a war the public didn't want to be part of, and on top of that, they were losing)

hope this helps.

Most of the US did not support the Vietnam war, so there was already hatred surrounding the military. The US government decided that they would film the war, allowing the American people to see what they were paying for. These American were fooled by the government as the government censored what they could to make it seem like the Americans were winning the war, although they were in fact losing. Leaked videos and pictures flooded America, and the truth started to come out. American soldiers were told to massacre villages (couldn't tell the Vietcong from the citizens), and in result, the American people called their own veterans "baby killers". For the veterans of this war, there was no welcome back party, no honour from their people, just hate.
This differs from the World Wars as the veterans are seen as heroes. They left their home to go fight with other countries to Europe from "evil". They won the war, and returned peace and democracy to Europe. The fact that the Americans lost the Vietnam war, AND that their efforts to contain communism failed (Vietnam is communist), it hurt the American image.
In the end, the Vietnam war and WWI & II are very different wars with different circumstances. Vietnam ended badly, and the World Wars didn't (for the Americans).

Which late 1940s event prompted the United States to take steps to protect itself from Soviet espionage? the detonation of a bom
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) on their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage.

During the Cold War, people wore afraid of communists, both outside and inside the United States. The Red Scare and McCarthyism
kkurt [141]
Hey, that's a great essay prompt.  It often happens that when threatened by some threat to our way of life in a democracy, we respond in very undemocratic ways.  During the McCarthy years, people's privacy was invaded as accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people.  Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance.  But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that.  We must always adhere to our primary aims as a society -- the rights and liberties of each individual.  We don't want to get into "witch hunts" where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.

Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the McCarthy era (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.

Final door! If you crack this code, you'll find out if your route out of the prison was the right one: If banana becomes ananab
poizon [28]

This is false.

If Banana corresponds to the code 458124 you would have few possibilities of combination for the letters of BANANA: B=4; A= 5-1-4; N=8-2.

Now if BANANA becomes ANANAB does not matter the combinations of ANANA the last letter which is B should only be the number 4, so the code would have to be 4 in the last letter on the right side. So the code 421458 is not the right one.
