YOU DONT HAVE TO WRITE AN ESSAY JUST GIVE ME SOME INFORMATION
In a 2009 interview, while defending his foreign policies, President Barack Obama objected to comparisons between the war in Afghanistan and the war in Vietnam. Obama’s attempt to avoid a comparison to Vietnam is not unique, as many Americans now view the Vietnam War as a mistake. Is this opinion supported by historical realities?

For your essay, develop an argument evaluating this contemporary view of the Vietnam War. In doing so, respond to the following questions:

Why has the Vietnam War come to be viewed in a negative light?

Is this negative view warranted?

In your answer, consider topics such as: why the United States got involved in the war, the experience of fighting in the war, the reasons that the U. S. withdrew, and the effects of that withdrawal. Use examples from your studies as evidence to support your answer.
