1. A war is fighting another nation (THEIR AIR FORCE, NAVY, & ARMY). Was the US fighting against a nation in Vietnam? Yes, the country called North Vietnam. 2. Was the US fighting a nation in WWII? Yes , the US was fighting Germany & Japan (yes and Italy, but they surrendered so quickly, historians often leave them out of the debate). 3. Was the US fighting a nation in the war of 1812? Yes, the nation called Great Britain. A Police Action or Law Enforcement Action is fighting against terrorists (Criminals or Insurgents) who have no nation (if they did the US would attack that nation, destroying terrorists would be EASIER THEN!). The United States is NOT fighting against the nations of Iraq nor Afghanistan. Therefore the United States of America is NOT at war with those nations. Those are police actions...the restoring of law, order, and stability to those regions...or at least in Afghanistan, the capturing or killing of terrorists.

What was Vietnam War?
The Vietnam War was a terrible war throughout the 1960's and 1970's. It was located in Vietnam, in southeast Asia. This war was not declared a war until long after it had finished, but was officially a 'police action'. On many levels it tore the US apart: * Veterans were not given recognition * Protesters disrupted colleges and other institutions * Police brutality was rampant * The government withheld vital information from the public * The body count (on both sides) was horrendous
Favored stronger military action in Vietnam?
Hawks which were the people who were for war including the Vietnam war.
America's involvement in the Vietnam War ended under the administration of President?
Vietnam was not a war it was an action.
Was there a winner of the Vietnam War?
First, it wasn't a war. Officially it was a "police action". But if it looks like a war and smells like a war... it was a war. So, who won? The Vietnamese did. We got our butts kicked. As one who was in a Combined Action Group, living in a village as part of the Marine effort, giving medical aid to the villagers, 50% who were VC, we did not lose the war. We turned it over to the South and they were overtaken two years later. If we lost the war as above: ask the Vietnamese in the U.S., who have a vast better life than in Vietnam if they they agree. If we were not there, they would not be here.
How many Americans were killed in the Vietnam War?
The Vietnam War resulted more than 58,000 American deaths (including missing in action).More than 58,000 Americans lost their lives during the Vietname War.
