The direct impact on South Vietnam was exposure to the United States way of life. SOUTH Vietnamese people saw what US personnel looked like; how they dressed, how they talked, how they moved about in machines (air, water, land craft...cars, trucks, tanks, armored personnel carriers, motorcycles, helicopters, propeller powered aircraft, jet powered aircraft, riverine boats...swift boat, alpha boat, monitors, PBR's, etc). SOUTH Vietnamese people were exposed to US money transactions and literature exchanges, as well as religious and government practices. To a lesser degree, Cambodia was exposed to the same subject matter. Geographic impacts for SOUTH & NORTH Vietnam & Cambodia & Laos has been the addition of countless small lakes (ponds) now used for raising aquatic life in most instances by the citizens of those regions. Geographic damage other than the "small ponds" has been RECLAIMED by nature...healed; and are no longer evident to the human eye today.
