I'm gonna assume this has been mentioned in 8 pages. The big difference between ww1/ww2 and Vietnam was the time it took to get back state side. Even after the war you still had to sit on a ship for awhile back in the day. Gabe you some time to readjust. Whereas the 60's in 24 hours you could be on leave in Hawaii.

Another thing that set WWI & II aside from Vietnam is how long troops actually fought. In Vietnam a soldier or Marine did a one year "tour". They could, and many did, volunteer for more than one tour. But they were only required one tour of 12 months.
WWI & II solders though did not serve one year "tours". Instead once in the fighting the only way they got to come home was
A. Dead
B. Wounded
C. The war ended
Basically, WWI & ll troops were in the shite for the duration.
