The Tragedy of the Vietnam War


The Vietnam War was a Cold War military conflict that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia from 1955 to 1975 when Saigon fell.

The purpose of this war was to prevent South East Asia from going "Communist".  

In the end, these countries did exactly as they wished, and the death toll from this effort at a minimum, was:

221,000 Vietnamese dead
58,000 Americans dead

Other dead related to this war are from Thailand, Laos, China, Australia, South Korea, New Zealand and the Soviet Union.

In total, 1,177,446 people died in this war.  All for nothing. It was all a political ploy. 

Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus and all of the saints and all of the angels that the souls of these people who died in this unjust war, are at rest and that they are with God.   

God help us all and save us from our corrupt governments.
