Which of the following best describes the effect of the Vietnam War on the US economy?

The money that we spent on it. The U. S. would have things like meat mondays where they would send meat to the U. S. soldiers. The U. S. spent a lot of time over in Vietnam. Also all the men that they drafted they had to have money to suit them for battle. about 50-70 percent of the men did not have training. So yes we lost many men in that war.

During the Vietnam War, President Johnson's "Great Society" tanked. All the money that was supposed to go toward bettering society went into the war. The inflation rate rose and to stop it from rising higher, higher taxes had to put in place.
