Vietnam deployment

The Vietnam war lasted for a good 20 years. It had a bunch of people involved but it was mainly a civil war between the Vietnamese, with added fuel to the fire by world superpowers... and others... I'm looking at you Best Korea. The war, like any other, had a huge casualty toll, mostly civilians. It all ended with the fall of Saigon in 1975.

What we have pictured is a US helicopter dropping off troops on a search and destroy mission (you also had other missions like: headquarters, capture the flag, team deathmatch - WOW THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I USE THIS JOKE I FEEL SO CREATIVE). The Vietnam war, unlike the previous major conflict, WW2, used a lot of helicopters. Now we just fly our radio control helicopters from the comfort of our sofa.
