ESSAY ON: Hamburger Hill

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. From May 10-20, 1969, US and South Vietnamese troops collided for control of Ap Bia Mountain; in these ten days, fifty-six soldiers lost their lives and four hundred twenty more were wounded from the 101st Airborne. The United States ultimately captured "Hamburger Hill" by killing five hundred ninety-seven enemy soldiers; however, once the conquest is made, orders came down to abandon what they fought so hard to obtain, leaving the hill completely wide open for the North Vietnamese to move in and take back the hill unopposed. This particular military approach was not widely heralded back in the states and created a significant amount of hostility from the American people. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
