As we all know, the Vietnam War lasted for a full 20 years, the confrontation between the US military and the North Vietnamese army has always been based on attrition, even if the US army wants to quickly resolve the battle, but it is powerless, the North Vietnamese army relies on guerrilla warfare and other tactics, constantly avoiding frontal conflict with the US army, and dragging its forward pace with its life. During this period, the US military used all kinds of means, including throwing some weapons of mass destruction, such as meteorological weapons and cluster bombs.
By covering the bombing and hitting the North Vietnamese troops on the ground, there was no good means of air defense, and they paid a very large number of casualties, and later hid underground to survive. It is in such a state, time is consumed little by little, the US military in turn look at it is equivalent to nothing to do, they have also suffered a lot of loss, according to statistics, after a long tug-of-war, the Number of US casualties is more than 57,000, and the number of wounded is nearly 300,000.
At that time, the total number of TROOP troops invested was 660,000, that is, half of the soldiers were seriously injured. But that's not all, after the Vietnam War, more than 100,000 veterans committed suicide, of which the U.S. military accounted for the largest share, what happened in the middle? The reason is that soldiers suffer from "war psychological syndrome," a sequelae left over from life-threatening, severe physical injuries, or psychological trauma.
Often the manifestations are also obvious, including irritability, depression, mental trance, etc., every day to sleep unsteadily, the mind will unconsciously recall the scene of the war, which will cause their psychology to collapse. If you can't hold on to the past, the probability of finding short-sightedness is very large, and the outside world can only provide assistance, you must come out of it himself, otherwise it will continue to attack.
Under the devastation of war psychological syndrome, retired US military veterans, unable to bear the torture, most of them choose to die, the US military in order to reduce the impact, specially find a psychologist to give them free counseling, but the success rate is also very low, the suicide or suicide, even with the help of doctors, their emotions will be more extreme, the things they do can not be guessed, some groups will choose to commit crimes.
They seek stimulation through violence to alleviate their inner emotions, which is estimated to be the biggest sequelae of the 20-year Vietnam War, and the American people's enthusiasm for subsequent enlistment in the military is reduced, and they do not want their children to serve in the military. However, although it looks innocent, it is also self-inflicted, and the US military participating in this battle does not belong to the righteous side, itself is an aggressor, so the American people blame those politicians who do not value the lives of soldiers for gaining benefits.
