Why are there so much questions about the Vietnam war hasn't anyone heard of wiki or google?

Answer 1

Excellent comment. More than likely most, probably at least 8 out of 10 of these questions are from students who have an assignment on the subject, and not wanting to read the whole "wiki" or "Google" page simply want a quick answer so that they can satisfy the minimum requirement of the school; then go out do something else (entertainment or socializing).

The worst part of the whole thing is, is that 90% of their questions are not about the war at all. The questions are POLICTICAL...such as "who was the president?", "what party were they?", "what was the weather like?", "what did the people at home think about the war?", or the very worst question of them all, "Why was the US fighting in Vietnam? (or what was the Vietnam War?)" Its the worst question because the introduction to this website ANSWERS that question! So it shouldn't be asked at all. The quality of the questions is a direct reflection on the educational system. Which, at its face, appears to be in need of much improvement.
