Tough Time Walking


( http://warvietnam.org/ )


The picture that I had chosen shows American soldiers going through the tough terrain to get to the nearest city. During the Vietnam War, American soldiers had to go day by day through some of the toughest terrain they had seen. Soldiers had to watch where they were walking and also had to watch their equipment while walking through wet or muddy terrain. The soldiers had a tough time staying dry and watching out for Vietcong.Soldiers did not want to walk through the jungle and wanted to stay in the base and have a nice desk job.People that were getting drafted did not want to get involved in the war and tried to dodge the draft. The only way people wanted to go over was away from the actual fighting and doing minimal engagement.
