Can anyone give me the top 5 similarities between the Iraq & Vietnam wars?

Answer 1

1) war built on lies
2)no end in sight
3)war un-popular at home
4)administration un-willing to change course
5)military men and women dying for an unjust war

Answer 2

1.) Liberals are protesting the Government
2.) Liberals are polarizing the Nation
3.) Liberals are accusing the troops of being murderers
4.) The enemy knows that some Americans (liberals) are the key to winning the war. If they can disgust the liberals with casualties, liberals will raise a white flag.
5.) Liberals are claiming that everything in Iraq is bad, America is committing atrocities and that WE are the true enemy and threat to global peace.

It doesn't matter what side of the fence that you stand on, anyone that has lived or studied the 60's and early 70's knows this is true.
Of course there are several other similarities as well.
