THE WAR SO FAR
))
This manual refers to the default controller mapping when
describing controls.
It would be the longest military conflict in United States history,
and when it was over, 58,000 Americans had given their lives in
this jungle war. Another 304,000 were wounded, and nobody who
returned home was left unscarred by their time in Vietnam.
In 1946, the Vietnamese fought the French for their freedom in
the first Indochina war.
At the end of that war in 1954, two Vietnams were created, South
and North. Trouble was…the communists in the North wanted one
country, one people, one Vietnam.
It began for the U.S. in 1959 when they sent advisors—
government men with money and weapons and advice to help
the South. Slowly, almost inevitably, it became a full blown war
with the ever-growing U.S. forces joining the South Vietnamese
army to fight the North Vietnamese regulars and the National
Liberation Front.
By 1975 it was all over. But not before 3 million Vietnamese
people from both sides died to make it happen, and another
2 million Laotians and Cambodians also perished.
In Washington they built a Black Wall, a wall with all 58,000
American names. The ones who didn’t come back.
But in 1967, the war was still young. Hopes were high. Success
was, they say, a bright light at the end of the tunnel. Lessons
would have to be learned in Vietnam. And in 1967, class—and
hell—were definitely in session.
