The following information is about Vietnam War.
Vietnam War Defined
The catalyst for the Peace Movement in America. The compulsory draft took students to the killing fields of Southeast Asia who then returned to the U.S. in body bags by the tens of thousands. The insensitive administrations refused to listen to protests and refused to provide a satisfactory explanation for the war. This prolonged the war and eventually the U.S. pulled out leaving their Vietnamese allies to fend for themselves. Make no mistake, the U.S. lost this war, but the government and people are now much more aware of the implications of foreign military involvement and the repercussions of sending young men to their death.
This definition is in context to Hippy. See more contextual defintions for Vietnam War.

- "Gook: John McCain's Racism and Why it Matters" - uprisingradio. org: But what Hillary Clinton left out of her critique of McCain, and what virtually everyone has left out this year, is McCain?s racist background. When John McCain campaigned for president in 2000, he told reporters on his bus, ?I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live.? McCain used the racist pejorative in describing the Vietnamese people who were targets of the brutal US war he is proud to have fought in. McCain apologized for using the term explaining that he was only using it to refer specifically to the prison guards in Vietnam who beat and tortured him. Now, author Irwin Tang has written a book about McCain, called ?Gook: John McCain?s Racism and Why it Matters.? In describing the book?s thesis, Tang asks, ?war fertilizes racism, and racism justifies wars and the killing of civilians. This dynamic thrives within the most dangerous leaders of the world. Is John McCain one of them?? GUEST: Irwin Tan
