Yeah ok, like you'd know more about that than someone who lived here during that era.

But did any of these effects include a massive revolution for you all that changed your government style completely? Did anyone die as a result of this? How about a war afterwards which got over a million people killed? Did that ever happen?
None of that stuff happened after the American civil war either. I believe the question was whether Vietnam had a lasting impact on this country. Nothing you have said contradicts that.
