So, in addition to insulting folks that have been there, you swallow the MSM`s reporting of what is really going on in Iraq. Well, the same tactic was used against us before, in Vietnam, and it worked there, so why not now.
If you want to learn about what really happened then, and see how the same thing is going on now, read the biography of Gen. Abrams.
Where did I insult the folks who’ve been there? Do you think the occupation was well planned? Do you think the military brass or civilian brass planned to still be taking casualties at the rate we’re taking them 3 years after the war ended?
Also, this is nothing like Vietnam. We never invaded North Vietnam, never overthrew the government, never disbanded their military and police, and never set up a new government. We didn’t occupy a defeated North Vietnam.
Compare Iraq to WWII and compare the 10 battle deaths we had in the whole year of 1946 in every theatre, to the battle deaths we’re taking in a country the size of California. Do you really think the military or civilian brass planned this?
I submit to you that someone made a big mistake in the planning for the occupation and it wasn’t the GIs over there getting blown up. I submit to you it was some of those politicians you have little patience with
