I would start by learning the difference between past and present tense and correct spelling (or spell check use). It will really help improve the quality of your ';speach'; [sic]How are teenagers are affected during the vietam war. (Not only in the US but in Vietam) and also todays war?
When the Dads came home the effects of the war on the family as well as the effects the ear on terror is havin on families today. , the half american and half vietnam children left form american men having sex with vietneese women who though they were going to get married to these men and were left behind to find that veitnam people hated them. (they were called half breeds maybe).
I cannot really see much effect either of these wars would have on teenagers.





Think about it - has the war in Iraq had any real effect on you? Have you been forced to change of do anything different?





Now, compare this with the effect 9-11 had.
As long as you are not drafted or volunteer to go into the military it won't affect you at all. Teenagers don't care what goes on in Iraq and in my time (Vietnam) the teenagers didn't care about Vietnam. Look at today (Year 2008). Amercan idol is the first thing the teenagers think about. They don't think about Iraq and the troops who have died there. Out of sight and out of mind.
The young Vietnamese of the fifties, sixties, and seventies knew what was expected of him. He knew that war was inevitable for him, so his long range planning was limited. He knew what the toll was on his country's population, so he had limited hopes on living a long and fruitful life.





The American teens of this era, grew up much the same way.





The draft was alive and well, and the country was at war for at least half of each decade that passed from the forties and well into the seventies. The longest the country had gone without major conflict was 1953 - 1965, yet during that period we had advisers in Vietnam, when in 1962 over 100 ad visors had lost their lives. During that same time frame we had the horrendous missile crises and stare down with the Soviets over Cuba.





Today's teens face much of the same tribulation as those of earlier times. Many however, will chose to avoid the military path, since we still work with an all voluntary military. This could change however, the Selective Service is still very much ready and able to reactivate, should it become necessary to do so.





Those who find themselves immune to a draft or who believe they would be welcome in Canada, might need a different strategy to avoid the draft, should they find themselves in that situation.
My parents were teenagers living in Vietnam during the Vietnam War. The Communist killed my mom's parents because they wouldn't give up the farm, and force her into larbour. My dad went in hiding for over years so they couldn't draft him.
well they are effected b/c you guys are the next generation to be effected by the outcome of the war, if it is not ended you will be fighting in it as well.
