What exactly do I mean? I mean to ask whether the USA is having strategic problems of a bigger magnitude in Iraq and have there been more casualties than in Vietnam?

No, it is just that the press is covering this war more than any war in the history of mankind. Every problem is magnified. The press will not show good news and who can blame them? Who wants to see schools being rebuilt by Navy Seabees or whole villages of temporary (that will become permanent) homes being provided to obviously grateful iraqi's.
Casualties? less than 4000 in 5 years in this war.
In Vietnam * 58,193 KIA and other dead[1]
* 153,303 WIA[2]
* 1,948 MIA[3]
You be the judge

No big strategic problems...mostly the main problem that most soldiers have is the way the Media is telling what is going on over there...if you do the averages in Vietnam over 8000 soldiers died a year to 750 a year now...big difference....

About 50,000 Americans died in Vietnam. In Iraq it is around 3,000. Not even close, but from listening to the media and protesters you wouldn't know that.
Its hard to win a war when they media is against it.

Our enemies in Iraq couldn't defeat us in a hundred years.
Our enemies in the U.S. media have almost finished defeating us and soon we will have lost. Thanks fourth estate.
I think we have a glitch in our system of government. There are no checks and balances for a media that is against our countries best interests.
