CHANGES IN US
America lost over 58,000 soldiers in the war and another 150,000 were wounded. Close to $900 billion were spent on the war including benefits for Vietnam veterans. Soldiers lost limbs, got diseases such as malaria, and faced other health defects caused by Agent Orange or other chemical warfare used during combat. 700,000 veterans have experienced some type of psychological disorder including PTSD. One of the most important effects of the war was how it impacted the way American citizens trusted their government. Americans no longer had full trust in the government or how they led the military. The Vietnam War also drastically changed the way America handled military decisions in the future. CHANGES IN VIETNAM
The war terribly affected both North and South Vietnam. Over 2,000,000 were killed, including civilians, another 3,00,000 wounded, and hundreds of thousands of children left to be orphans.
