Things weren't as bad as they seemed.
"Things weren't as bad as they seemed"
Too many Americans have no idea what war is like.
It takes time, and there are always setbacks. Even though the allies won WWII there were many battles lost along the way.
When I hear people saying "Oh my God! we've lost over 700 soldiers there", I want to point out that during Vietnam there were periods where we were losing over 100 per day.
If the mainstream press were accurately putting this into perspective, most would understand that it is a slow, deadly process, but that we ARE winning.
If we want to turn this into a Vietnam, we can: just cut and run. Then what will those lives we have lost mean?
God Bless our troops and their families.
