The question "why Vietnam?" dominated American and Vietnamese political life for much of the length of the wars and has continued to be asked in the decades since they ended.

The survey was undertaken to supplement audience ratings reports for WGBH's Captioned ABC News and to collect preliminary information to guide future captioning efforts.
