Hi James Calladine; Re: "Remember Viet Nam?" All too well. Our action in Vietnam was against Communism, and we won that war, though we lost the battle in Vietnam.

War is a matter of will to fight. Vietnam never did anything to the United States. We let them off fairly easily.

We never invaded North Vietnam. Why not? Vietnam was a limited war with limited objectives, and those objectives did not include having to send ground troops into Bejing. We fought a limited war largely with the objective of proving that the United States would stand by its allies, and that lesson was given to the world, albeit at great cost to ourselves.

Afghanistan doesn't have a "China" backing them up with manpower and armaments. Neither did Iraq, for that matter. These are not the same thing as Vietnam.
