contrast, the U.S. military struggled a great deal in Vietnam and ultimately had to pull

in Vietnam?

Answer 1

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

Vietnam is a severely dense jungle, which makes it far more difficult to fight in. Additonally, the Northern Vietnamese military used guriella tactics where they would basically pop out of the jungle, shoot a few enemy soilders, and retreat. This made it very hard for them to take down their enemy. They began using a chemical called Agent Orange to kill the thick, dense vegetation but it didn't really work and just gave everyone who was around it severe medical issues and their children often had birth defects.
