I don't like saying this but it's begining to feel like VN...
Not a single American casualty is acceptable...Everything and anything at our disposal should be used to guarantee success in our mission...

nonsense. way too many freepers want to see a body count, whether they be civilians or those of the insurgents. the insurgents and the terrorists want mass civilian casualties, why should we give it to them?

It will only be like Vietnam when:

1. We are not allowed to pursue our enemies.
2. The politicians are more interested in their own political hides than in the lives of our young people.
3. And when the majority of the citizenry cow and do not rise to challenge the leftist, enemy abetting opposition and their un-American activities, includiong greeting the returning soldiers with derision.

We are not nearly there in any of those points as we were in Vietnam, with the exception of number 2 perhaps, particularly on the Demo side. We are straying that way for number one with Fallujah...we need to do the type of things outlined in post 38.

-Except at least in Nam, the White House never called Communism a religion of Peace.
