Is it true that the Vietnam War caused high US inflation in the late 1960s?
Unclear. One reference work notes the Vietnam War produced large US budget deficits, and a BLS history confirms inflation was high in the late 1960s, but neither source states that the war caused that inflation. The evidence covers the war's fiscal cost and the existence of late-1960s inflation separately, not the causal link the claim asserts.
