Real-time images of the war were broadcast on television.
APEXXX :)
Wars prior to Vietnam were ground taking wars (territorial gains). Vietnam was a body count war-a war of attrition.
Officially, US forces didn't torture enemy personnel; enemy POW's were turned over the South Viet Government. For an account of enemy treatment of US POW's (primarily US Airmen) see: Vietnam POW's.
The Cold War resulted in the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
Korea and Vietnam were separate wars.
The Vietnam War
Wars prior to Vietnam were ground taking wars (territorial gains). Vietnam was a body count war-a war of attrition.
Other than Military Operations; since WW2, Korea & Vietnam.
For the US, it's not anymore important than the other wars. Each war has it's own purpose in history.
For now, we have very limited proof that the Koren War was bloodier. This is basically because the wars were fought during completely different times. The technological development from Korea to Vietnam was immense. So i would have to say that ultimately the Vietnam war was bloodier than the Korean War for the U.S. We lost more soldiers in Vietnam than any other war and knowing this fact, one can conclude that the Vietnam War was more bloodier.
Communist forces gained more territory because of the Vietnam war, but not as a result of the Korean War :) -Apex-

Afghanistan and Vietnam
Vietnam is currently at peace.
The same for most wars. Just the return home was different.

Media coverage of wars changed from Vietnam for better.
