Which war is worst Iraq or Vietnam?

Answer 1

Vietnam , we lost 60,000 men and women , fightining not threat to us there the british and the french were in there an got butt's kicked so then we decided we could do it Kennedy[D] sent our troops that had been going on for decade's , before we evever got involved.

Answer 2

In terms of the American "butcher's bill" (as English generals used to call it), Vietnam, with almost 60,000 official deaths, hundreds of thousands of wounded, and countless others with PTSD, substance abuse, criminal records, or other problems, was worse.
Both have cost us billions, and gained us nothing.
Both have cost us friends overseas, at the official or everyday citizen level.
To the extent that we have created a terrorist 'cause' in Iraq and provided a training ground for current and future terrorists, Iraq is much worse. Vietnam had no oil or other strategic materials, so de-stabilizing Iraq---as we have done---is a much graver strategic catastrophe.
Both wars have damaged our military greatly, and have split us as Americans into separate camps, in which there seems to be no understanding of the opinions of the other side.

Answer 3

Vietnam hands down. We have a long way to go in Iraq to catch Vietnam.

Answer 4

Is your question - "Which war is THE worst: Iraq or Vietnam?"

For the people of Vietnam, their war was THE worst.
For the people of Iraq, their war is THE worst.
Does this answer your question?

Answer 5

I think they're about the same. As long as the people don't back it we're going to lose. If the government didn't lie so much and got the people's backing we could have won both of them. At first it's always "GO,GO, Fight" and then as soon as we get warmed up it's " stop the war, bring our troops home" we'll never win anything like that. The country reelected bush to four more years and now they hate him. Go figure!!!

Answer 6

How do you measure war? The number of dead soldiers? The number of dead civilians? How long the war lasts? How much it costs to fund the war?

We didn't have to fight in Nam, if we would have gave Ho Chi Menh (sp) the support he had asked for. He was fighting the French and had asked for our assistance. We turned him down and Russia and China stepped in. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

I don't understand why everyone says Bush lied. The UN sent in their inspectors for WMD's. Saddam jerked their chain until the UN was mad enough to remove the inspectors. The US stepped in to conduct this search. Saddam used something on the Kurds. Did he use all of it? Or, did he hide it? Or, did he sell/give it to another country? Whoever can answer these questions can also tell us who shot JFK.

I want you to understand something. We could have won the war in Nam if our country wasn't so scared of starting WW III. If we had began bombing Hanoi, Cambodia, and Laos, we could have kicked butt and take names. This is me talking, but the experts. We play around, lost 60,000 soldiers, and got tired of fighting and came home.

This is my opinion. If we want to win in Iraq, then we need to take the war to the terrorists. We have too many options to take the war to them. We have missles that can hit a dime hundreds of miles away while it avoids radar. We have spec ops that can do all kinds of "black ops." The problem is we fear what others may do.

For example, the news media just proclaimed the Al Quida is strong and set-up in Pakistan. I say hunt the murdering cowards down and kill them. Stop the supply of arms even if we have to attack Iran or Syria. We don't have to send troops. We can blow-up a warehouse and tell the world to kiss out donkey. But we won't. So, here we are in this mess.

Answer 7

Vietnam is worse but they Iraq war isnt a war its just stupid because we are over there for oil.

Answer 8

iraq becuase if we leave now we are going to be attacked agian but if we leave in ten years we are going to be attacked agian. we were not actually fighting a terrorist organization in vietnam as we are in iraq. we are not fighting iraq. we are fighting a terrorist organization in iraq that is going to try and probobally suceed in attacking us agian no matter if we pull out tonight or twenty years from now. in basic terms the answer to your question is iraq is worse

Answer 10

They both suck. The U.S. should stick to fending off Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
