Abstract

This paper examine why the vietnam veterans have had misgivings on overseasallowance for a long time and how the vietnam veterans were booming in the wardepending on their ranks. The overseas allowance was paid by the Americangovernment to the military personnel from the third country such as Thiland, thePhilippines, and Korea and which was much larger than the salary paid by thehome government. Although the American government paid Korean military personnelthe overseas allowance as much as the other country and the Korean governmentcould not divert it, there were a lot of misgivings in the veterans' society on theallowances for a long time. Because a cost of dispatching the Korean troops wasmuch cheaper than the American', and the Korean government did not pay themilitary personnel separate extra money in contrast with the Thiland, Philippines,and South Vietnam government. In addition, although a lot of the officers overcompany grade amassed wealth making good use of the overseas allowance, mostof the soldiers under corporal could not take off economically because their allowancewas not as much as the officers'. Therefore, there was the gap between nationalvietnam war booming and the personal vietnam war booming for the most of soldiersunder corporal.
