write an evaluation of Vietnamese war against the US from the point of view of a woman soldier
Answers
A Woman Soldier and the U.S. Vietnamese War. The Vietnamese women displayed indomitable courage during the US-Vietnamese War. They served as porters, nurses, construction workers and even as soldiers. They neutralized tens of thousands of bombs and shot down fifteen planes. They were undoubtedly of the view that the oppression of the U.S. Military force could not calm down their aspirations and they strongly believed that their victory over U.S. soldiers was certain.
Answer:
a) From 1965 to 1972, the US-Vietnam War continued and caused losses to both US and Vietnam.
The Vietnamese people suffered human and property losses, yet they never stopped their struggle for freedom. Here it is important to mention the role played by the porters in getting freedom and unity of Vietnam. The porters set out without fear on the Ho Chi Minh Trail which was a great expansive network of roads and footpaths. The heroic porters carried as much as 25 kg to 70 kg of weight on their backs or bicycles. They did not fear that they might fall over in the deep valleys. They bravely walked on the narrow, dangerous roads that marked the treacherous routes. They also did not feel afraid of being shot down by aircraft guns. They put all their fears aside and walked on to maintain the supply line. This fact showed that the porters were heroic and patriotic.
b) The Vietnamese women played an important role in the US-Vietnam War. They were both warriors and workers. As warriors and soldiers, the Vietnamese women constructed six air strips, they neutralised thousands of bombs and went on to shoot down fifteen planes. There were 1.5 million Vietnamese women in the regular army, the militia, the local forces and professional teams. The women workers were also engaged as porters, nurses and construction workers.
