No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now. --Richard M. Nixon, 1985

Vietnam War was the longest military conflicts in US history. The war claimed the lives of more than 58,000 Americans.The financial cost to the United States is over $150 billion dollars. The first combat troops arrived in 1965 , and the cease-fire of January 1973. Millions of Vietnamese were killed during the war.

During the war period, America was quite divided.To the new generation of young Americans today, how do you view the Vietnam War? Does it  sound like a story from the olden times?

By the way, what is the real meaning of President Nixon's words? Why is is a misunderstood and misremembered war? Can anyone help to explain? I am interested in knowing about the Vietname War. Can any one tell me more stories? I would be gtrateful. Your personal experience is prefered. Do you have the legendary experience  as Forrest Gump experienced?  That is the only movie about the Vietnam War I have watched .
