Why did we go to War? Cold War Containment Domino Theory

Why were there protests? Lies & Atrocities Pentagon Papers – Gov’t lied My Lai Massacre Media & Deaths of US soldiers Draft & Conscientious Objectors

Kent State Massacre

“With all the arguments and discussions about the Vietnam War, what did the visual image do? It ended the war” – Cornell Capa Children fleeing a napalm attack, 6/8/1972

Who won, who lost? “We are the unwilling working for the unqualified to do the unnecessary for the ungrateful.” – Kit Bowen, First Infantry Division, Oregon

Why did the US leave? Possible explanations: We underestimated the N. Vietnamese We could not disrupt the supply line (Ho Chi Minh Trail) We could not shut down the tunnel system Goals were not clear We didn’t fully understand the culture Political difficulties & protests at home We won the battles, but stopped fighting We left to let the S. Vietnamese fight their war We used guns and bombs to try to win hearts and minds
