The Vietnam War was a long, costly armed conflict that pitted the communist regime of North Vietnam. The Vietnam War is the commonly used name for the Second Indochina War, 1954–1973. The U.S. had the largest foreign military presence and attacked during the war from 1965 to 1968. he U.S. suffered over 47,000 killed in action plus another 11,000 noncombat deaths; over 150,000 were wounded and 10,000 people went missing missing. One of the lingering legacies of the Vietnam War is the widespread belief in America that "the media cost us the war in Vietnam." Images such as the burning monk; South Vietnamese Police Chief Lt. Col. Nguyen Ngoc Loan about to pull the trigger of a pistol pointed at the head of a bound VC prisoner; of a naked young girl running crying down a road after an American napalm strike that left her badly burned—these images and others became seared into the minds of Americans on the homefront, and in those of civilians in allied nations such as Australia.
