What are the landmarks of Vietnam?

Landmarks for whom? Veterans or just plain civilian tourists? For just plain tourists there's nothing special about Vietnam...no Great Walls or Pyramids. For even veterans, there's probably not much left to see as those old firebases have been turned into farms and the tanks have probably been re-cycled into automobiles. The Rock Pile near the old base Khe Sanh will still be there, but'll probably have no meaning to anyone other than some vets.

What was the result on Vietnam War?

The new adult age in the US became 18 instead of age 21. Men are NO LONGER drafted; an all volunteer military was created. There are NO LONGER two countries in Southeast Asia called North & South Vietnam; there is only one Communist country called Vietnam. Individual US Infantrymen & US Marine Riflemen NO LONGER have full automatic capabilities on their individual rifles; they can only fire in short round bursts today. The Vietnam War was the ONLY war in US history in which every individual US Infantrymen and US Marine had a fully automatic rifle. After action reports indicated that US riflemen were "wasting" ammunition in return for "hits" on enemy personnel. "Rock 'n Roll" (Automatic Fire) sounded good, but was ineffective. Fixed-wing Aircraft (airplanes) have been replaced by helicopters and satellites for "spotting" artillery (adjusting artillery fire). US Infantrymen combat steel helmets have been replaced by ballistic armor. Maps & Compass's have been replaced by computers (GPS).
