Vietnam was more forgivable than Iraq.
There were far too many sane minds shouting at GWB to stay away from the place for this too be chalked up as another foreign policy adventure that simply "didn't work out".
There were millions of us who knew it wouldn't work before it even began.
The only winner was Iran.
I count Vietnam as bigger blunder because of the number of Americans killed and maimed. I vivited Hanoi (Ho Chi Minh city now) 8 years ago during a cruise stop. It looked pretty good to me.
