The impact of the Vietnam War on American soldiers was significant, with many suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a result of their experiences during the conflict.

Additionally, the controversy and divisiveness surrounding the war back home also had a profound impact on many soldiers, leading some to participate in anti-war protests like the one at Kent State University.
