NOT JUST LIKE NAM
as those coming back can hold there heads high as we back home appreciate their efforts and sacrifices, regardless of what the f happens back there. That was not the case with NAM...

Agree, even with the debate about the justification for the war, there's no question the country supports our troops efforts and sacrifice.

I think that since then we have realized that the services don't choose their battles but only do what is asked and do it well. It will be another fourty years before we get into a nonviable fight again. |

Precisely why Newt would have no chance of winning the general election.

Bush-43 should have asked his dad why he left Saddam in power at the end of the first Gulf War, when he could have easily hung him from a street light in Baghdad. 
A trillion or two spent, 4500 military deaths and 100,000 or more injured, hundreds of thousands of Iraqi dead, and what we accomplished in the long run is strengthening Iranian hegemony in the region. Iraq was a country created by drawing lines on a map after WW 1, composed of factions that traditional hate and slaughter each other, and the only thing that kept it together was Saddam's iron fist. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what we happen once we were gone, after we hanged the bastard. |

I can't believe we left without finding the WMD...
I do respect their right to kill eachother though.
Bring the weary soldiers home to rest,we have a world to police.
The axis of evil awaits,after Afganistan it will be on to Iran or North Korea.
They can't have nukes unless we say they can have nukes.
