What effect did the Vietnam war have on soilders?

Many US soldiers in the Vietnam War became disillusioned by the war for the following reasons:

* Many believed they were not fighting to win the war, but to simply stop the growth of the Communist North Vietnamese;

* Many believed that too many Americans back home were against the war;

* Drafted soldiers believed that the war was simply not worth the loss of life; and

* Many soldiers were very unhappy that the South Vietnamese soldiers did not really want to fight the war themselves.
