The United States had 500,000 servicemen "in country" in the Republic of South Vietnam at it's peak strength during the Vietnam War. 2,594,000 servicemen ultimately served "in country." 3,403,100 US servicemen served through South East Asia during the Vietnam War.
Was the Vietnam War all for nothing?
Well, it was never a popular war and it was mostly fought due to our fears of the spread of communism as a result, many felt we had no real reason to send troops over. If you consider that the US has had an economic relationship with Vietnam since the 1990s, you can argue that in the end, the Vietnam War was a mistake. In a sense, its an insult to the loss of life and the troops that returned with PTS and mistreatment by those that got to stay home on their comfy couch.
What US senators voted against appropriations for the Vietnam War in 1968?
