very closely at this war it can be seen that the only reason America decided to fight this war was for its own economic interest, a very poor reason to have so many die. This is the reason as to why this war was so unpopular. Most Americans could see no true reason as to why we were sending our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and friends to this foreign country to die besides a possible economic gain. Was it a justifiable war? No."Empty causes, direction for the soul, conviction for the mind."-Bad Religion. War is a truly ugly thing. It has become more gruesome as the years have gone by and as man created more deadly tools to kill with. Throughout history we have seen a countless number of wars take place and a countless number of men, women, and children die. Some for just causes and some for empty ones. In Vietnam we saw so many loved ones die for some cause that we can't exactly put our finger upon. We have not seen the end of war's ugly face yet as mankind, but hopefully we will be able to pick our battles more wisely in the future....
