S2, <But there is a quality that clearly separates the Vietnam veteran from the veterans of World War II and Korea. It is defined by America's lack of ability to define the crises, identify the solutions, and ultimately convince people of the necessity of sending Americans into a foreign land to die for those reasons -- the very qualities that are absent from today's debate on Iraq.> Very thoughtful article. It took me about one month in Vietnam to figure out what was wrong. As a very gung-ho 21 year older (and that was considered old), I wasn't able to get a straight answer from anyone on what we were trying to accomplish. The day to day stuff was clear...make sure your people didn't get hurt....all the stuff outside of that was just mind boggling and un-explainable. The situation with Iraq feels the same way. Makes me sick to my stomach. All those guys in the infantry and airmobile units look so young...I really feel for them. Altair19
