America's Longest War...

This here is a photo of a young Vietnamese girl receiving medical assistance during the Vietnam War. I chose a Vietnam War photograph because it was the longest, most devasting war in American History. The Vietnam War represented the longest military conflict between North Vietnam and the United States in which 58,000 Americans lost their lives, 304,000 were wounded and 4 million Vietnamese were killed. In this photo, you can see an innocent young child hurt and in pain in which, she was most likely caught in the line of fire and was wounded. This picture touched me the most because it was not a soldier injured but an innocent child. How can a war get so out of hand that a child becomes involved? It's a disgrace. I look at this picture and can almost feel the fear inside this poor child's eyes. She appears to be scared, very shooken up, and just in pain. This photo describes how one war can affect an entire group of people, especially children, the most innocent people in the world, who do not deserve to suffer in a time when a nation is in crisis because it is not their fault.
