I think that the shock from the Viet Nam War to be so great, because it was received by the whole American culture, not just the people who served there. For example: Before the war, American citizen have little way to know about war beside daily radio and.... I don't know, the projector thing that they used in theater. But come the war, and with it, colored television. Never before had they see destruction so real, so breathtaking, so massive and knowing that is was their doing. For the straightforward, good guys-bad guys they're living in, how're they suppose to take that if it was the child they raised that burn down an entire village?, the weapon they manufacture mowing down countless living being?, and the image of the country that they so pervently uphold crumbling down around the world?.
Btw, it "Vietnam", not "Vietman". Sorry for being a grammar nazi.
