What are some jungles in Vietnam?
In GI jargon they were named by what the maps said at the time (no GPS in those days, just a good old fashioned map and compass). Or by what GI's had heard them called, e.g. "Black Virgin Mountain", "Hobo Woods", "Iron Triangle", "Ia Drang", "A Shau", "Duey Ba Din", "Dak To", "Mang Yang (pass)", etc.
What reasons did protests oppose the war in Vietnam?
The Vietnam was was never a declared war, but 58,000 men died there in 10 years. Every night on TV the war was filmed and put on the news. This changed how people viewed the war and they began to protest the war. We saw men died in the jungles of Vietnam and it was felt that the government needed to leave or declare a war.
How did the US military handle the problem with the dense jungles of Vietnam?
At first they had no solution, but then developed napalm and the Daisycutter. Napalm burned away the jungles, along with anyone unfortunate enough to be there. The Daisycutter was a large bomb with an extended pole on which the detonator was mounted. The bomb exploded about 4 feet off the ground and removed all of the surrounding jungle by explosion.
