The slang, the unique vocabulary of the soldiers and Marines
serving in Vietnam was a mishmash of words and phrases reaching
back to the Korean War, World War II, and even earlier. At the same
time it used words and phrases reflecting the country's changing
protest culture at home, ideological and poetical doctrine, ethical
and cultural conflicts, and racialism and the drug culture. The
slanguage in Vietnam was made even more complex by the Pidgin
Vietnamese-English used by Americans and Vietnamese alike. American
culture and society were changing rapidly and drastically at home
and this bled into Vietnam. In the jungles, swamps, and hills of
Vietnam soldier and marine slang also followed the traditional path
of what was important to their daily lives: their leaders, the
harsh environment, food, uniforms, weapons, equipment, and how they
fought and lived in the country.
