The impact of the Vietnam War on American soldiers was significant and far-reaching. Many soldiers who returned home experienced physical and psychological trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, the war divided the American public, leading to anti-war protests such as the Kent State protest where some soldiers themselves participated. Some soldiers also chose to continue fighting by remaining in Cambodia, while others willingly enlisted in the draft to serve in the war. Overall, the Vietnam War had a profound impact on American soldiers, shaping their experiences and perspectives for years to come.
