How temporary? Vietnam ran I believe for 12 years. Which is temporary, and the most intense period of the Vietnam war was only part of those 12 years. Social Security and Medicare are projected to just keep growing. The increase in expenses it not something for a few years or a decade or even two. Most army officers say we will be in Iraq for another 3-5 years. Could easily be less, could possibly be more, even much more if you include a much lower level of US deployment. That's 3-4K more deaths and 10s of thousands more who are maimed. That is based on speculation laid on top of speculation. Your assuming active battle for the next 3 to 5 years with American casualtee rates as high or higher than they are now. I don't think that is likely. But even if it does happen, and even if we do spend a few more hundreds of billions of dollars, it doesn't change the fact that it is a temporary increase while entitlement spending shows little sign of stopping its continual move upward.
