Fluency is upheld as the holy grail of language learning, and many feel that they cannot claim to speak a language until they speak it âfluentlyâ.
Even so, I don't think the Vietnam War was justified. I suppose we felt that Korea was successful, and we had enough hubris to think that we were going to be able to get in and get out easily. brettd | High School Teacher | (Level 2) Educator Emeritus.
In A Nutshell... The Vietnam Warâcommonly referred to as America's longest warâgrew out of the American commitment to the containment of communism during the Cold War. For approximately fifteen years, the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (North Vietnam) fought against an American-supported Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam). The war for the U.S. ended in 1973 with the withdrawal of American combat troops, and two years later, South Vietnamese forces surrendered to the North.
