Answer
the vietnam war was officially considered a "policing action" much like what we are facing in iraq. this was the first war where guerrilla tactics were used instead of it being mostly a straight fight. most of the soldiers were draftees with vey little want to be there. they were willing to give up thier lives for a cause that most of them didn't even believe in and when they returnd home these american heroes wre spit on, yelled at and many of them still suffer from ptsd today. war is hell and NO war should be liked by anyone even if they are sometimes nescassary. the simple fact is that we had no business being in the region at the time. the french had been fighting the north vietnamese for 10 years before we even came into the picture and they couldn't do any better than we did! quite simply america had never fought a war like this. in all the others it was " there is the enemy kill them". in vietnam you didn't know who the enemy was until it was too late! kids putting bombs in buildings, poisoning drinks and giving them to the troops as
'gifts" it was a bad situation no matter what side you were on.you couldn't turn your back on anyone even the ones that were supposed to be your ally.
war is hell no matter if you are winning or losing. if it wasn't there wouldn't be anything to stop us from waging it. people die on both sides. but to answer your question people hated that particular war because we had no business fighting a battle that had no ramifications on our freedoms. and many people believed that soldiers just went crazy over there and were killing innocent civillians. one of the most popular monachers for a soldier in vietnam was "baby killer". this wasn't true of course but it didn't stop the hippie movement from attacking the returning soldiers with this hate speech. unfortuanately many innocent people WERE killed in that war. they were also killed in the revolutionary war, the civil war, ww1, ww2, korea, desert storm, bosnia, etc. war is war and there will always be collateral damage thats unavoidable. in short all war is bad and should be the last resort of any nation unless they are undeniably attacked and must retaliate in defense of said nation. in vietnam we were never attacked. our government stuck our noses where it didn't belong and our troops were the ones that paid for it with thier lives.
