Although people like you wish it would be like Vietnam, Iraq is nothing like Vietnam. Vietnam was North against South. There was never an end to heavy combat. It grew right up to Nixon's withdrawal. The US never had control of North Vietnam. It never attempted to gather nationals into an assembly to construct a constitution. It never had the opportunity to search for hidden weapons or POWs. The North Vietnamese people never welcomed our troops as liberators. Because of technological limitations, collateral damage was very high in Vietnam. And we took 58,000 casualties in Vietnam. Aside from hit and run attacks on our troops, I see no similarities. Perhaps if you pray hard enough, more of our soldiers will die. But nowhere near 58,000.
