Vietnam War Lessons

The Vietnam War has left behind many lessons. These lessons can serve to shape and transform our lives in such a way to communicate success. From a military standpoint, one has the ability to function as a strategic thinker, tactical planner, or logician.

A strategic thinker devises a plan to control the direction they want life to go in, sets asides resources for that purpose, and examines the methods used by others in the past and present in order to reach that same goal.
