A lesson I’m afraid we Iraq vets will have to learn from our Vietnam brothers: We fought well and honorably, only to have the politicians piss it away........

Hey brother, the rules of engagement started in Vietnam and still screws the American Military to this day.

We had to air-drop pamphlets on suspected enemy villages 24 hours before commencing giving them our version of "Shock and Awe".

The politicians always screw things up!
