WWII vs. Vietnam war, Two wars that have changed the world that we live in. Both wars were similar but different at the same time. WWII was a slightly more popular war than Vietnam because the generation that fought in WWII is coined the name "The Greatest Generation" overcoming facism and genocide. While Vietnam war was arugued a war that America should never have foughten in.

Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughter house five. Compares and contrasts the two wars. Some Americans will consider that WWII is a far more popular war than Vietnam. While Vonnegut will aruge that they are some what equal.
I agree that WWII was a far more popular war in the fact that more people were behind WWII in terms of pride. But I don't agree that the wars are close to equal. WWII was a war that changed the world vastly, it abolished facism. Many memorable battles are from WWII including battle of the bulge, and Battle of Iwo Jima. It is true that Vietnam has very little memorable battles I believe because of this it makes it a unpopular war.
