Why does Christian Appy argue that Vietnam was working-class?

I think that Christian Appy is arguing about how the working class during the Vietnam War was not getting the right respect since they came from low-income families or poor communities that wanted to show that different people from different backgrounds show have the right to have an equal say in the army and equal right as well. They were also part of the draft in the 1960s. He also argues that a community of only 27,00 Massapequa lost 14 men in Vietnam. Only certain people in topical backgrounds in 1969 News-day traced the family backgrounds of 400 men from Long Island who had been killed in Vietnam those were white working-class men. Compared to men working class in a rural or small -town in America can have a big different impact on the community and the family members as well.  He also argues about how soldiers that weren’t from big cities or small towns but hundreds of places between an average lifestyle form an average town is 15,00 to 30,000 people who have an economic life that can hold its local roots. The way he says about how the Vietnam veterans in the next generation were exempted or failed the test to meet the minimum physical and mental standards in the armed forces. The way he views how the returning veterans are less than low-income and have hardly an education since some of them were high school dropouts to join the army and do active duty for their country.   This also brought attention to different communities that are struggling in ways that people don’t understand. That didn’t support the Vietnam War and how it caused so much damage to our people. The way he also mentions the area of 1966 to 1969 and how the percentages of people or young men that were part of the draftees who died in the war had doubled from 21 to 40 and that to me sounds crazy.  I also would agree with what Christian Appy says about how the Vietnam War hides the facts of the different classes and how they were treated and how we don’t learn so much about the war in our history class. I also would like to say that My mother’s dad my grandpa worked on helicopters during the Vietnam War and how it can be scary for them to think if there going to make it. So I think that I learned a lot of new things and information from this article how Chritrasn Appy has so much information and how his point of view makes me think of what it would be like back then being in the working class and dealing with these standards of what makes it so different in the armed forces and how it act and to leave what your life and loved ones behind in such time of need. I enjoyed reading this article and how Christian Appy thinks about the Vietnam War and how the working class system is effected by it.
