Q. I have to interview someone who had been alive during the Vietnam War, you don't necessarily have to a veteran. You can just tell me about your clearest memory of the era. I don't have any relatives or know of anyone who could help me out. So if you are interested in answering some questions, please answer this question with your email. This project is due tomorrow, unfortunately. Thanks in advance!

A. Arriving in Vietnam, all visitors must fill in declaration forms and show their luggage to Customs Officials upon request. There are no limited amounts of foreign currency, objects made of gold, silver, precious metals and gemstones or plated with silver or gold but visitors must declare these in detail on the customs forms.
You are expected to declare:
Cameras, camcorders and other electric equipments not for personal use
Jewelry not for personal use;
Currency over US $7,000
(There is no limit to the amounts of cash, precious metals and gems people can bring in, but amounts of over US $7,000 must be declared);
Video tapes (they may be kept few days and screened).

What military challenges did American troops face while fighting in the Vietnam war?
Q. Need help answering an important question on vietnam war. There are so many answers but I need to know the most important events. serious answers only please.
A. The American covert war against the Vietnamese from 1959-1964 failed. After this the so-called "advisors" faced the challenge of supporting the military of an unpopular dictator (Ngo Dinh Diem) and defeating the National Liberation Front in the south. The NLF was highly organized, and since many of them were once the Viet Minh (who fought against the French and won), they had much wider support and would have defeated the ARVN, which forced the US to introduce larger numbers of combat forces. The American troops fought a war with no real political objective.
One fine example of the challenges the American military and the military of the so-called "Republic of Vietnam" faced was the Battle of Ap Bac:
"Such stark contrasts between high-level evaluations of the fighting and the view of advisers in the field were not news to the press, for MACV Headquarters seemed to have a policy of putting the best possible face on events. Close relations between correspondents and advisers such as Vann gave the other side of the picture. The battle at Bac, however, was more than just another case of official optimism. It became something of a cause celebre that changed American views on the war. After Ap Bac, Americans increasingly lost hope that the Vietnamese armed forces could win their own war, lost faith in the ability of the Saigon government to pursue the war competently, and grudgingly began to conclude that American combat troops would be needed. This was one of the turning points in a long war."

A. I think it shows the madness and pointlessness of it all. The opposition is how all these people die in battle on both sides
