19. Vietnam Soldiers and Social Class • Working-class and poor youth composed a full 80 percent of the enlisted ranks • The military was determined to channel bourgeois and even middle-class youth away from combat. This was done through a variety of methods: • student deferments, • payoffs to doctors to declare potential recruits unfit, • technical deferrals, • draft board biases, • connections (like Dan Quayle's) that get you into the stateside National Guard.

20. The purpose ... was for you to walk up on Charlie and for him to hit you, and then for our hardware to wipe them out. We were used as scapegoats to find out where they were. That was all we were -- bait. They couldn't find Charlie any other way. They knew there was a regiment out there. They weren't looking for just a handful of VC. Actually, they'd love for us to run into a regiment which would just wipe us out. Then they could plaster the regiment (with air strikes and artillery) and they'd have a big body count. The general gets another damn medal. He gets promoted. "Oh, I only lost two hundred men, but I killed two thousand."

21. Welcome Back! Using the index card, please draw or describe a memorial that you would create for Vietnam War veterans. Thank you!

47. Line Up The US promoted democracy in Vietnam. The Viet Kong used effective approaches when soliciting support for its cause. The US had motives in Vietnam that extended beyond the fight against communism. American Presidents who led during the Vietnam War appreciated the intelligence of the American public.

48. Line Up The Gulf of Tonkin Incident supplies a solid reason for sending more troops to Vietnam. US approaches reasonably drew hatred from the Vietnamese. Those who published the Pentagon Papers should be charged with treason. The working and poorest classes can largely be thanked for the anti-war movement. The anti-war protests had little effect on government action Throughout most of the war, most soldiers remained loyal to the war effort.

49. March Madness • Triangular Trade • Contributions of Native Americans • Columbus • Columbian Exchange • The Americas before Columbus • The Middle Passage • Slavery • Abolitionists • Affirmative Action • Lincoln’s views on slavery • Causes of the Vietnam War • Reasons the US lost • #’s associated with the war • The Things we Carried • US approaches to the war
