My Reason
The reason i picked this event in History because i believed that this War impacted many lives. It also opened the U.S government eyes to stop being so willing to do anything, because it resulted in millions of deaths. It created the strongest tensions in the U.S. history. People think that women are sissy's and helpless but the women gave up their lives as well. They were willing to help all the vet's that are injured and saved millions of lives. All of the Vietnamese and American men were all hero's in some ways. Many men were willing to give up their lives to be apart of the War. This war made me change my thought of the military and army for doing what they do best because without them the whole Earth would be destroyed with conflicts and wars.
