Well we had McNamara telling all if we kept pouring money and troops into Vietnam, we would win and at the same time claiming we were winning. Later to regret it all. Those who want war find a way to screw the country.
Happy Fourth when leaders put their own life on line.
I don’t see any parallels at all since McNamara didn’t advise a change in policy or change of support of leaders during the period when we had troops there.
However there is a parallel with the withdrawal of troops leading to an invasion of both Iraq and Viet Nam.
