The Vietnam War

The United States made the right decision in joining the war efforts of the
South Vietnamese. The only mistake was that the U.S. should have done everything
in its power to win the war as quickly as possible. The U.S. was obligated by the
Truman Doctrine to contain communism. Truly the best way to contain it would be
to defeat it.
This war was a person changing experience. With all the horrible pain and
gore the soldiers had to see and endure, they could never be the people they once
were. Supporters and protesters back in the U.S. were causing chaos. The Doves
and the Hawks, the Doves against the war and the Hawks supporting the war,
divided a country. In the face of death, the brave men of the military of the United
States fought on to make the world a little better for everyone.
The United States had a clear advantage. Their military, weaponry, and
combat skills were superior. If not for the North Vietnamese knowledge of the
terrain and guerrilla tactics, the war would have possibly been a short one.
However, the U.S. government only sent what they felt to be adequate manpower to
contain communism, not to defeat it. They wanted to keep the loss of lives down, and
keep the Doves as happy as possible. If only they had sent a massive force into
enemy territory, they could have bombed the North Vietnamese thoroughly and
invaded their country with extreme force. This would have the potential to end the
war more quickly and save American lives
