Many American soldiers suffered physically and psychologically from their experiences in the Vietnam War, leading to high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder. This impacted their lives long after the war ended, affecting their mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. Additionally, many soldiers faced social stigmatization upon returning home, as the war was unpopular among the American public. This further exacerbated the challenges they faced in readjusting to civilian life.
