Wait, wasn't Greneda I supposed to be another Viet Nam? Or was it Panama or GW I. Every American military engagement since 1975 has been compared to Viet Nam so I get confused as to which conflict the media's currently talking about.

If you ask a Washington Post reporter, they would say DC traffic is another Viet Nam.

If people use the phrase enough times, it loses any real meaning.

Bingo!

Well, now, they just might have a point about that ..... ;-)

El Salvador was supposed to be another Vietnam, except that El Salvador really never got started, at least with many of our guys. We lost a few down there, but it sure as hooey wasn't the Vietnam redux like the commie lib media dumbasses said it would be.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I'm 64, and I can't remember any positive spin on any of our wars that the NY Slimes/Reuter/BBC/ABCNNBCBS article.

They are all gloom and doom. Our troops are in a quagmire. The people hate us. We have lost the war. We are in the war for expansion. Yadda Yadda!

Just the bravo sierra post by Freepers today from the NY Slimes/Reuter/BBC/ABCNNBCBS would make one think that we have lost the war. We need 300,000 body bags and 300 billion people on earth hate us!

The left wing maggots are so predictable.

Every U.S. military endeavor is another Viet Nam to these aging flower-child assholes.

Just like any gathering of three or more lousy garage bands is another Woodstock.

The prism through which they view everything was formed roughly in the period from 1967-1973, or at least the part they remember between drug episodes.

Yes, and the stock market crash of 1987 was supposed to be the start of another Great Depression. And by the year 2000, according to radical environmentalists of the 1960s, all the fish were supposed to be dead.

Do these people ever have to answer for the stupid things they've said in the past?

Afghanistan isn't a quagmire for a simple reason. The U.S. has wisely given up on the pipe dream of a united and democratic Afghanistan. Karzai is basically mayor of Kabul and that appears to fine with us.
