How did the vietnam war affect the civilians?

Answer 1

Life for civilians living under wartime conditions consists of: NO or LITTLE food, medical supplies, transportation, education, clothing, houses, post offices, police departments, or recreation areas. No personal hygiene facilities, no safe water to drink. Civilians were kept busy between trying to survive and trying to stay out of the way of two military forces trying to destroy each other.

Answer 2

US civilians were concerned about being drafted. Vietnamese civilians were trying to stay out of the military's way. They were trying carry on with their lives, without getting caught between two opposing armies.

Answer 3

As is normal, as in our past wars, at least from WWII (US civilain contractors were captured on Wake Island in WWII), US civilian contractors performed duties in Southeast Asia, including "in country" (in Vietnam itself). Jobs ranged from covert government employment to medical, engineering, and educational duties.

Answer 4

soldiers and civilians were affected by the Vietnam War because when the soldiers got home they were not appreciated and alot of them turned to drugs and alchol and the civilians were being drafted into the army so they were not excited about that and the hippy revolution played a big part because their motto was basicly "freedom"so you basicly had three things going on including racism so this was one of the Americas darkest moments in history.

Answer 5

extreme poverty, military assaults, rape, summary execution, Fear.

Answer 6

All civilians (friend and foe alike) were on the "Dodge" for fear of being conscripted into the military.
