What's the difference between Iraq and Vietnam?


Bush had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

 

sad but true!

 

Oh, I thought it was going to be something like:
The soldiers in Iraq actually deserve their medals, and they don't cry about them or burn them or look like Frankenstein...



my bad...

 

Of course I know you mean the soldiers in VN were valiant.

 

ALL soldiers are valiant ..it's the Commander in Chief you have to look out for

 

Difference between Nam and Iraq? None, all the stays in the same family

 

First...funny joke, John. Second, I think the primary difference between the two is that the soldiers in Vietnam were viewed with disdain, hatred and several other emotions because they were seen as an extension of US policy whereas today they are beloved for their courage and valor despite their role in US policy.

Essentially, people can separate the tool from the policy now and they couldn't for some reason in Vietnam.

Vietnam: There were no MISSION ACCOMPLISHED banners on aircraft carriers.
