How was the effect of the war between the US and the Vietnam felt within the US as well ?
Answers
⭐⭐<==================>⭐⭐
Ans. Effects of US involvement on life within US itself were as follows : (i) Many people became critical of the government for involvement in the war that was seen as indefensible.
(ii) Compulsory service in the armed forces was introduced. It mostly affected the minorities and the children of working-class families because it could be waived for university graduates who belonged to the privileged elite. .
(iii) The US media and films played a major role in both supporting as well as criticising the war. For example, John Wayne’s Green Berets (1968) supported the war. It was responsible for motivating many young men to die in the war. Some fllms were more critical as they tried to understand the reasons for the war. Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now (1979) reflected the moral confusion that the war had caused in the US.
