Good one A Mystica –
Except Iraq is more dangerous and will prove more costly in the long run.
Iraq and Vietnam share the common features of being based on stupid ideas and lies, and doomed to failure. There are only two uses of offensive military action that have any chance of success: you can invade a country for the purpose of conquering it and making it your own, or you can invade to inflict punishment (after which you immediately leave).
If, however, you place your forces in a foreign nation and leave them there defending the geographic space they occupy like a bunch of homesteaders, the cost will eventually become greater than the effort is worth.
In the long run, the home team always wins – even if the invading military is greatly superior; and, they don’t have to win any battles to win the war. Quick – name three battles in all of the American Revolution where we were victorious over the British (who, at the time, were the greatest military force in the world).
In the American Civil War, until Lee crossed into northern territory, the Union Army never defeated him in battle – not once. The South couldn’t lose at home and couldn’t win on the road, and neither could the North.
The bottom line is that the people who live there will always be there and we will not. In the meantime, American soldiers and Iraqis continue to be wounded and die while our elected officials try to figure a way out that works best in terms of their own personal political futures.
Hey tok h -

I faced the enemy on the Battlefield two times with two tours of duty- I was wounded twice, however so slightly, either wound had it struck my temple or eye, i could have been killed- in the mean time, others from well to do Familys, like Cheney, got 7 deferements, other Chickenhawks hid out in the National Guard, like Quayel and Bush- We pretended to serve our Country , while never leaving good old momma's cookin and our Cushy Apartments and homes-

Only American cons could call a decorated war veteran a traitor while worshipping a deseter.
Cons aren't all stupid (this one is) but I've never met a stupid person who wasn't a con.

you rode a desk and filled out paperwork giving your self medals that your friends earned, then you came home and pretended to throw them away in a protest.
