we were drawn into both wars by what turned out to be false statements and facts. during the vietnam war the democrats ran the government and everyone thought that things would be better if a republican were in office. fastforward 40 years and it is flipped around. both are wars against terrorist and insurgents.also known as gorillas. both have lasted longer then ww2 did. {on thanksgiving day we will have passed that mark} we learned that it takes a 10 to 1 ratio to win a gorilla war but we still think that we can do it with a minamum number of troops.

I see many similarities to ww2 as well. Thing is the troops are being spread too thin over too many fronts - we all knows what happens when the leader does that eh...
