THE JUNGLE KING KNIFE OF AITOR One of the most famous knives on both the national and
international market is the Jungle King knife from the prestigious brand
Aitor. It first made an appearance in the 1980s and gained fame thanks to
the release of the films starred in by the popular Sylvester Stallone. The premiere of the movie Rambo boosted survival knives manufacturing The Vietnam War was, along with others, one of the typical conflicts of the period. Part of the old French colony of Indochina consisting of Laos, Cambodia, Annam, Tonkin and Cochinchina was the setting for a brutal war which broke out at the end of the 1950s and continued until the middle of the 1970s. Both generally and in detail, the Vietnam war can be summarised as a confrontation between the two areas into which Vietnam territory was divided due to the colonial conflict with France. South Vietnam with a government allied with the U. S.A. fought against North Vietnam which was predominantly Communist; both sides, like in most armed conflicts throughout history, defended their predominance and hegemony over the other.
The Vietnam War was one of the most violent wars of the second half of the
20th century. During it, systematic bombings were targeted not only at key
military points but also at the civilian population, communications and
factory infrastructures... the U. S.A. used traditional weapons: submachine
guns, rifles, knives; but also chemical weapons such as the feared napalm or
"agent orange" which affected the health of civilians and soldiers, as well
as the environment which suffered serious attacks given the high levels of
contamination. In the region, the consequences of the war were tremendous,
with more than two million Vietnamese killed, thousands injured and orphaned.
As for the American victims, it was not just limited to the over 5000 dead
and 150 000 injured, but also as the years passed those who survived
experienced psychological problems which lasted for the rest of their lives.
The Vietnam War was one of the first conflicts portrayed by international media The war seriously affected American prestige on the
international stage. The defeat branded its foreign policy for several years.
In addition, within the country itself the citizens rejected and
marginalised the veterans of the Vietnam War, stigmatised and isolated them
from society. They didn't welcome them as heroes as the soldiers had
expected. In addition, the soldiers didn't know how to reintegrate into
civilian life and in many of their minds there always remained the bloody
memory of the war.
