Entertainer
You will research the music,
movies, USO Shows, etc. that were popular with the American Soldiers in
Vietnam and popular in the United States in the 1960’s.
Questions to guide your
research:
- What music, movies, and
other
forms of entertainment were popular with the GI’s stationed in Vietnam
and was there a difference between GI’s in Vietnam and people on the
home front?
- How did the music
reflect the
attitudes of the 1960’s?
- What role did music
play in
Vietnam? You will need to speak to the psychiatrist to get a
handle on this question.
- What role did music
play in
the United States during the 1960’s?
- What songs defined the
pro-war and anti-war attitudes of the 1960’s? You will need to
speak to the Home Front Advisor to help you answer this question.
- What was R&R?
What
options did soldiers have for R&R? Why did the military offer
R&R to its members?
