Describe the American soldier during the Vietnam era.

Unit discussions involve responding to two of three questions based upon the readings. Discussion posts are to be thorough and thoughtful – and are to be mostly your critical thinking and analysis and not largely borrowed materials. Please do reference the course readings(and only the course readings) but only enough to support your argument. Appropriate documentation is required for references. For each question, you will post an initial discussion of 200 word. 1. What led to American involvement in Vietnam? How did Vietnam change American military policies and goals? Describe the American soldier during the Vietnam era. 2. What led to the Cold War? How did the Cold War change American military policies and goals?
