Throughout history, wars have varied significantly in type and scope. Some common categories include conventional wars, characterized by regular armies fighting in organized battles, such as World War I and II; guerrilla wars, which involve irregular combatants using unconventional tactics, as seen in Vietnam; civil wars, where factions within the same country fight for control or change, like the American Civil War; and colonial wars, which often involved imperial powers clashing over territories, such as the Napoleonic Wars. Additionally, there are religious wars, driven by ideological or religious differences, exemplified by the Crusades.
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 war America is in currently is similar to the Vietnam war because there is the same tactics being used them by the opponents as there is in current wars. Tactics known as guerrilla warfare where the opponent attacks and then flees making it hard for the Americans to work out who and where the enemy is.
A war of attrition was the strategy. Search & destroy was the tactic (method) used to achieve that plan (strategy). Reason: Because taking ground would not be the objective as all other past wars had been. Vietnam would be strictly body count.
Wars previous to Vietnam, for the US, was taking ground. Because of the nature of this limited war, "taking ground" was replaced with "attrition (body counts)", which called for the TACTIC of "Search and Destroy."
