Why didn't the U.S. soldiers win the vietnam war

1 answer:

3 0

Simply put, they were fighting an unpopular war that was against an enemy we basically couldn't see. We were fighting an enemy who would hide among the Vietnamese civilians. Many of the soldiers we were fighting were untrained farmers, however the fact they would not come out as soldier made it harder to root them out. They also knew the land better than us so they had the terrain to their advantage. The Vietnamese were just guerilla fighters, who we had issues with fighting because we could never tell who was an enemy. Often times, civilians would die due to the choices of these fighters, causing the Vietnam war to be very unpopular back at home. So our soldiers who had no morale to boost them back at home, were fighting an invisible enemy and then coming back home and being booed fr what thy did.

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The population of United states will be low.

Explanation:

The railroads sought immigrants for its labor because labors are needed for the building of railroads. The immigrants labor were good for this work due to taking low wage for the work as compared to local workers who demanded more money for the work because the work is very hard. If these immigrants did not come for the work of railroads so the population of United States of America is lower than the present population of United States.
