What does gump know about vietnam before he goes?

This is based from the "Forest Gump" and based on this, what Gump knows about Vietnam before he goes was only very limited. He isn't that type of person who is knowledgeable about these kind of things. He is not much aware of the conflict that is happening in the country. For him, it was a "whole other country". Hope this helps.

Should be about 38 i hope i !
