Setting

The Vietnam War was fought mostly on Southern Vietnam soil. Some was fought in North Vietnam, and other parts were fought in Cambodia and Laos. The fighting conditions were extremely harsh during the war. The soldiers were not prepared for the unforgiving monsoons that caused it to rain for months on end, flooding the cities and making fighting difficult. The land was mostly jungle, also catching the U.S soldiers off guard and making them unprepared. The Vietnamese soldiers set up booby traps and fought with everything they had. Many Veterans suffered from PTSD due to all of the horrors they saw over in Vietnam. The setting was extremely harsh and unforgiving.

This picture shows soldiers in Vietnam. The mud shows how rainy and wet it became due to the monsoons. Soldiers were not prepared to fight in these conditions.
