What was the effect of the Vietnam war on Vietnam?

Answer 1

Some effects of Vietnam on the US are the military draft, protests, injuries to and even the death of some protesters, 58,000 dead US servicemen, and 300,000 wounded US servicemen.

There is also the stigma associated with what some perceive as the "waste" of all these lives and all this effort in a conflict that was not winnable by the US, at least in the manner in which it was fought. Much bitterness remained (and, for some, remains) for some servicemen regarding the conflict, and many members of the American public looked down on and even reviled servicemen for their efforts in Southeast Asia. Ask a veteran of this era and poll citizens who did not serve but were alive and young adults when this part of history was unfolding. Be prepared for anything from stony silence to an earful.
