1. Values: The Culture versus began rejecting the values of conformity and blind acceptance of allegiance to the country's leaders. It assesses critical thinking, take risks and try new ways. Race, sex, traditional ideas about love, sex, family and religion were critically questioned. As part of this (which relates directly to Vietnam) that began to question the politics of U.S. armed intervention against a country for no other reason than its communist "or leftist tendencies. 2. Methods: The methods used were varied, but the most widespread and perhaps more effective were demonstrations to make their voices heard, and acts of civil disobedience (tactics learned from participation in civil rights and free speech movements). Strong, although passive civil disobedience was widespread, and can be seen in the burning of draft card, of course, and in making campus buildings ROTC, but in something as simple as "flower power" slogans and long hair. All of these proclaimed, with varying degrees of volume, disobedience to the dominant culture and administration. 3. Difficulties Military: Vietnam was a terrible difficult for U.S. troops. The U.S. forces were trained and equipped (especially early) to wage a primary battle against an enemy force numerically superior Soviet camps European battle. Instead, they were chasing a very ellusive enemy through brutal terrain. The American forces have traditionally relied on the superiority of fire massive battle, but 155-mm artillery and napalm strikes were of limited tactical value if you fight an enemy that is not clearly visible, often moves through the civilian population centers, and that the tunnel had COMPLX extensive built into the ground. None of the U.S. not seemed to work. The bombing of Vietnam North to break supply lines was useless, company-sized infantry patrols through the swamps and jungles was even worse, when U.S. troops are too fitted, very slowly, and stood out like disco lights. Patrolling smaller formations that the platoon level, without however, made them faster and quieter, but also ran the risk of being completely overrun if they encountered an enemy aggression. The weather was horrible, hot as hell and dust of the year, torrential rains and strong than the rest. Poisionous insects and snakes, malaria and all kinds of infections fuingi … everyone took their toll, too. Finally, it was frustrating, because the enemy lives in the country and knew very well, and U.S. forces were never able to stay in the one place long enough to match the local enemy in terms of familiarity. As a result, most U.S. combat casualties came from booby traps rather than direct enemy fire. 4. Johnson used the (fabricated at least exaggerated) Gulf of Tonkin incident to lobby Congress for broad powers to make the war in Vietnam. 5. Kennedy increased U.S. support South and incfreased the number or the consultants and training instructors sent to Vietnam. Arguably, had decided to withraw U.S. forces and support of South Vietnam before being assassinated. His last executive order on South Vietnam said it wanted all U.S. military forces outside the country in 1965.
