The Vietnam War
"The Vietnam War was the prolonged struggle between nationalist forces attempting to unify the country of Vietnam under a communist government and the United States (with the aid of the South Vietnamese) attempting to prevent the spread of communism."(Rosenburg) Because the US was in a war that no one thought we could win the war. The war lost public suport. This war is now an example of what not to do in a US foreign conflict. Rossenburg, Jennifer. "About.com20th Century History."About.com. N.p.. Web. 18 Nov 2013.
