Not Like Viet Nam?
There has been a lot of talk how this war is nothing like Viet Nam. That's because we have a President who is not "sending messages". The goal is clear: Victory. I remember many who said " I've got nothing against the Vietnamese, but I would fight if this country were ever attacked." Many lied. But, in at least one sense, the two wars are identical: There were thousands of brave Americans who answered their country's call. They fought bravely and some paid the ultimate price. They have a place of honor in our hearts and memories. In that sense, this war is JUST LIKE Viet Nam. Thanks, 'Nam vets. "Garry Owen!"

Little correction, those boys answered not a call of our country but were send by government by means of draft. And many of them were sent to useless death. By government. For its interests. Not for interest of country, but interest of government. Same is today. Ho. Posted by: Noel at April 3, 2003 12:08 AMno two wars or historical events are identical unless you simplify them to an almost meaningless extent. these two wars are no exception, separated as they are in time and space. draw parallels at your own risk.
