The article considers the influence of the Vietnam War on Operations Desert Storm and Desert Shield as well as on the Iraq and Afghan Wars, part of the United State's Global War on Terror. It argues that the cultural history of the Vietnam War, as presented in film and literature, influences how later American soldiers react to war. Topics considered include the book and its film adaptation "Jarhead" by Anthony Swofford, as well as the books "My War Gone By, I Miss It So" by Anthony Loyd and "One Bullet Away" by Nathaniel Fick.
