Detailed explanation-1: -Many Americans opposed the war on moral grounds, appalled by the devastation and violence of the war. Others claimed the conflict was a war against Vietnamese independence, or an intervention in a foreign civil war; others opposed it because they felt it lacked clear objectives and appeared to be unwinnable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Relations between the United States and Vietnam have historically been complex and have repeatedly switched back and forth between positive and negative, but the United States and Vietnam share warm diplomatic relations in the present.
Detailed explanation-3: -Vietnam’s population has grown rapidly and now exceeds 85 million people, more than double its population in 1965 (39 million). Vietnamese society contains considerable poverty and wide divisions in income and wealth, though this is slowly improving. In terms of government, Vietnam remains a one-party socialist state.
