Saigon, South Vietnam, March 29 -- The last American troops left South Vietnam today, leaving behind an unfinished war that has deeply scarred this country and the United States. There was little emotion or joy as they brought to a close almost a decade of American military intervention.
The draft was eliminated. $167 billion spent on the Vietnam war by Johnson. This was the only war the US ever lost. Because of this, people lost faith in their government, they felt insecure (America was always seen as invincible), and they shuned American soldiers who fought in this war. 2 people found this useful.
