It's not at all like Vietnam. In Iraq, there's no jungle, cold beer is not allowed, and the local women...let's just not even go there.
To paraphrase the soldier from "Band of Brothers" when one of his buddies opined, as they walked through the woods into Germany..."You know, this place kind of reminds me of Bastogne..."
And he replies:
"Well...besides the fact that there ain't no snow...we got warm grub in our bellies, and...the trees ain't F*cking exploding, yeah, Frank, it does remind me of Bastogne."
So, when the libs say "...this is like Vietnam...", we can say:
"Well...besides the fact that we don't have an incompentent Democratic President and a idiot for a Secretary of Defense, the people by and large want us there, the commies aren't supplying and protecting the terrorists, we aren't losing an average of 15 men a day, and there ain't no shit dipped booby traps or F*cking sizeable anti-war movement, yeah, Dumbass, it does remind me of Vietnam.
