The Actual Vietnam

The Huey drops troops off; Note the troops that are covering the Huey.

The actual Vietnam was nothing like that is portrayed in the game. There was much more gore than the game shows. The game would not be rated T, it would be rated AO. There were not alot of real battlefields of the Vietnam war, a few, like the Ho-Chi-Min trail, but not alot. Vietnam was a long and hard struggle between the Communistic North Vietnamese and the Capitalistic South Vietnamese. The USA is of course capitalistic. Soldiers could trek for days through jungles and be ambushed at any moment by the Vietcong, whom were excellent at guerilla Hit-and-Run tactics. The troops didnt have much support from a country that hated the awful mortality rate and, of course the draft. It made the president of the US very unpopular. When the US troops finally withdrew in 1975, they didnt recive a very warm reception from a country. The family members obviously had warm receptions, but for the most part people didnt give them one.
