Detailed explanation-1: -Soldiers on both sides faced many difficulties and challenges during the Vietnam War – including climate, terrain, the complex political situation and unclear military objectives.
Detailed explanation-2: -Boredom, poor morale and lack of discipline were a combustible mix. Some of the Vietnam era problems were exaggerated, Crane said, but there is no question that the Army coming out of Vietnam was largely demoralized and lacked discipline.
Detailed explanation-3: -The operation was not a military success but was a propaganda boost for the Allies because it showed that Allied forces could successfully move and fight in jungle terrain well away from roads.
