Question 7 • US HISTORY B (15336)

Which best describes the situation Vietnam veterans faced after returning to the United States?

Answer

Some had physical injuries that needed to heal, but most readjusted smoothly to civilian life.

Most quickly found work and put behind them the events they had witnessed during the war.

Many found themselves welcomed back by a nation that was proud of the job they had done in Vietnam.

Many suffered from physical and mental injuries, while others felt hostility from civilians around them.

Explanation

Many Vietnam veterans returned with physical injuries and psychological trauma, including what is now known as post-traumatic stress disorder. Some also faced anger or hostility from civilians who opposed the war, rather than receiving a uniformly welcoming homecoming. Therefore, the best description is that many suffered injuries while others encountered hostility from civilians.
