Oddly, the first combat casualties in Vietnam were in 1957 - during the Eisenhower presidency.
Oddly enough, you also didn't mention any of the wars that started during Republican presidencies. As I served in the U.S. Army under both Reagan and Bush Sr I can attest that there were several under their presidencies alone.

When it comes to whoring out to corporations and waging war, yeah, there's a lot of similarities - but there's a lot more to policy than that.
I left out the republicans presidents because my point was that democrats take us to war just as often as republicans...You dems seem to forget all the military conflicts you've dragged this country into. But you are right...I was incomplete. I missed Somalia under Clinton. Also Clinton bombed Iraq several times....and Afghanistan at least once...I forgot about those.
I doubt very much that voting republican increases our likelihood of going to war as Ryantology is suggesting.
