Public killed Vietnam, the Vietnamese didn't want the French and they didn't want us over there either. Vietnam and Iraq are way to similar, were pretty much trying to intervene in a Civil War right now.
Vietnam was one of the biggest mistakes we ever made.Over 58,000 of our owned killed(over 1800 still unaccounted for),3 mil Vietnamese killed and ended up costing us hundreds of billions ... And Why? Because we feel like we have to be the policemen of the world.
Right on some of the accounts, but the South Vietnamese government asked us to help. We actually were involved in Vietnam in the mid 1950's as "advisors" Not a lot of people know that fact. But, even with that, our govenment politicians would not give the military what it needed to win.
It's imo you can't win somewhere where you are not wanted. Much of the problem going on in Iraq.
