- I know. All that I am saying is that some of you need to get over this “Vietnam Complex”. That was a completely different era and a completely different world. This isn’t Afghanistan or Iraq either (Although I would agree that there might be some similarities I agree).
Vietnam has absolutely nothing to do with my comment. Since you, like our esteemed politician, have the historical memory of a fruit-fly, apparently, I was referring to the build-up to Operation Iraqi Freedom, when the "greeted as liberators" trope was bandied about -- only to see us get bogged down with an insurgency that lasted a decade.
I really wish you'd think before you post -- but you know what the say, "if wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets."
