Over 35 years of almost constant conflict, if starting from 1979. Even longer if you count the civil war/conflict.

All gave some, some gave all. Whether you agree with the War or not, if you meet one of these men, or women, just say " well done, mate ". That's all. We can be proud of them.

The Vietnam War started in 1941. The Viets fought the Japanese, the French, the American coalition, and each other. The big difference is, they are no longer fighting each other.
