Oh Boy! Vietnam redux!

Us oldtimers remember in the early 60’s that “advisors” were being sent to Vietnam in small groups. We were told that they were only advisors and were not there to fight.

The small groups grew to be larger groups, the larger groups grew to be larger groups......and it went on and on and on until we had thousands of soldiers fighting a full fledged war.

Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.

That won't happen this time. After all, BHO received a Nobel Peace Prize, has assured us the war in Iraq is over and won, and has promised no boots on the ground. Well, at least none after these 130 brave souls, I guess.
