this reminds me of the time a 30 year old friend of mine went to see
Cold Mountain, and asked me what war it took place in. she had never
heard of or been taught about the Civil War in her northern california
school district... just wow... good luck!! hope you learn something...-0
p.s.-again, i realize you live in england, and it probably isn't taught in
your school, but you really should have done some decent research before
making that first post... it isn't like you had to go to the library, like in my
day. you have all the worlds knowledge at your fingertips with a few simple
web searches...

yeh thatwas what i was trying to say before, thats why i was asking other people who may have lived through the war - because i didnt - im only 14, so im just appealing for information form other users.
All i know about the war is that the USA was trying to stop the spread of comunism.
Was the USA on Southern Vietnam's side?
And the USSR on the North Vietnam's side?

He's not the only one. In fact the only ones who keep trying to downplay the use of the term "war" are the lawyers. Even the VFW accepts members from the Vietnam Conflict. (And they are the Veterans of Foreign Wars, not the Veterans of Foreign Wars and also Police Actions.)owenshooter wrote:what i love, is how he escalated a police action to a war. the vietnam conflict is now the vietnam war... sweet!!!-0
