Doing Vietnam history coursework and had a little query to do with the cost of the war?

Question

How much in total did the war cost and how was this all split up accross weapons, damage etc?

Answer 1

the cost was millions.  Also, you also might want to take note about the war profiteers who profitted from the new helicopters, etc. that were tried out during the Vietnam War.

Answer 2

Are you sure they just mean in monetary value.There were costs to humanity & infrastructure & political costs.Babies are still being born deformed because of ddt spraying & the country is still cleaning up left over land mines.

Answer 3

Good question. I do know that our national debt started with the war, because congress would not fund it.

Answer 4

The Vietnam War ended up costing the US around $133 billion.

I'm not  sure the 100% of money that was spent on different things.
