1966 Deathtoll went berzerk in Vietnam: 5,008. We were sending in more troops to get the job done. (1967:: 9,378) (1968::14,954) (1969:: 22,000) Thats 58,226 U.S. soldiers "spent" in that war. The American people protested. They were told repeatedly that if we left Vietnam, they would come here and attack our freedom because they didn't like it. Right now we are talking about sending in more troops to Iraq to get the job done ... again. This isn't going to be another Vietnam. Its going to be worse. Isn't it easier and safer to defend our country, IN our country? We have the technology, we have the manpower, and we damn sure have the money. We will never stop every militant terrorist in the mideast, thats the nature of a people who honestly believe they are doing whats right. What is it about this that we can't comprehend? Why can't we come back home to our families and defend from our coasts and borders? I'm so over this place!
