No offense, but this war has been over for almost 50 years. While I will agree that the treatment veterans received at the end of the war was harsh and the peace protests were out of control we should not have been in the war in the first place. Our presence in South Vietnam simply made a war that would have been over in a year last 10 and kills thousands of Americans and Vietnamese citizens. The peace protestors were right in the end, we could not end this war without total commitment and we had no business trying to change the fate of another country. My grandfather fought in the US Navy and bombed Hanoi in Rolling Thunder.... He agrees that we should have never been there either.
And @Joe Biden, you are drawing parallels that should not be drawn. The US should never have been in Vietnam and failed in their mission. However America technically accomplished their mission in Afghanistan with Bin Laden croaking. We should have left after that happened but instead we decided to stick around and attempt to nation build, which never works. The Afghan government was clearly corrupt and there is no point in staying around to prop up a doomed government. We should have withdrawn 10 years ago but the previous presidents skirted around the problem so we did it last year. The only reason you are objecting is because Biden was president, if Trump had won reelection and withdrawn the soldiers (which he planned to do) you would be cheering him on for returning Americans home.
No offense guys, but politics should not be brought into a early 90's British game on the Vietnam War. Just thought I'd clarify that for you though.

I know a vietnamese guy who came here (to Sweden) as a boy and a refugee,with his mother in the ´70:s.That was AFTER the country´s war with Uncle Sam.The new Ho Chi Minh administration were actually a-holes that persecuted quite a number of their own people and went to (a meaningless) war with China.Now,Sweden was one of the most bitter,louder and fierce critics of the american Vietnam campaign and its warfare (Olof Palme even compared it with nazi concentration camps).Personally,i TRULY HATE THAT LEFTISH BULLSHIT though !.Why won´t they ever mentioning the FNL´s "brain washing" methods, the kolkhoz system that lead to starvation (as it did under Stalin and Mao too periodically),or the stream of refugees that fled the country AFTER the war was over ?!.NEVER with ONE WORD,they will speak about this subject ! (and if they do,they´ll deminish it,or/and,says;"but you have to ""See the whole picture"" with it".Something they totally lacks the abiliy to do themselves obviously) .It´s the other way around actually;:-"Oh,MY parents (or ""grandparents"") were members of the swedish "FNL"-limb !.They walked in demonstration rallies,burned american flags at public places and went to peace meetings almost every night in that time !".-"Oh,really..My cousin´s dad "was there",when they throwed Molotov cocktails on the american embassy.And then he fought the street polices with his ""Pig patrol"" friends !" .-"Oh,what a good times it must have been then !.Being able to stand up for the peace,the liberty,solidarity between folks against imperialist oppressionism.."...Yeah,right..
Palme got what he deserved,although NOW,he´s a fu¤¤ing martyr and a legend !.I hate the fact that i live in the land of hypocrites.But the health care and professional education systems is almost free.The nature/countyside is quite nice and some of the national beers arn´t so bad either,so i guess i´m staying.

Can I leave Americans behind and take the credit for ending the war?

This game is a poor quality freeform strategic warfare simulation of the Vietnam war. There are budgeting decisions and instantaneous brigade deployments from a list of several dozen of the US and allied members that participated. The DOS version is virtually unplayable but, the Amiga version is bug free. As designed the though the game is tedious and unrealistic. Though it is challenging and reflects upon a game subject most wargame companies are cowardly ignore.

"'Nam" I really hope the title is spoken in the game with an american accent.
