American troops line up, as they are ready to be deployed in the conflict in Vietnam. Hoping to
stop communist takeover in South Vietnam, the U.S. decides to help out.
Many young American men have been drafted to support their country, but do they agree with it?
“Yea I’m ready, time to put an end to these communist dirt bags you know, the American way,”
said 22 year old Jimmy Scott.
Young men are ready for their deployment into enemy territory, in the land of Da Nang, and also
prepare for a carpet bomb attack on North Vietnam.
Packed with M60 machine guns, assault rifle M16’s, grenades and more, these men are ready to
“Americanize” the war.
These young men may have been drafted but they seem to be ready to support their country.
“Yeah no worries...like Regan said, we should declare war on North Vietnam. . . .we could pave
the whole country and put parking strips on it, and still be home by Christmas....it’s as easy as
that, I'm ready to move my squad out, and do whatever it takes to finish this, oh that red white
and blue,” said Sergeant Miller.
Still it is weird to see that America is so eager to jump into a conflict that doesn’t involve them.
Many of these soldiers say that it is justified, and it is the right thing to do. But the question is “is
it?”
Some soldiers see it as the right thing to do, but others just don’t understand.
“I still don’t know why we are doing this,” said 24 year old Evan Shots. “I mean yeah I
understand that if that area turns Communist then we could have some problems, but it seems
as though it’s all about control. I mean I don’t think my government would brainwash me into
believing some fake excuse why we should go kill, whatever they say, I have to trust.”
Is it right for our soldiers to be drafted to become involved in another countries conflict? After the
draft many of our young men were taken in, by the army to be trained. So far from all we know it
is about ending Communism.
More information on the attack will be stated, for now lets wish our troops the best.
