I have a theory: History repeats itself because we live in the Milky Way and it (Milky Way) is in circles.
Now take a look at these photos of unnecessary war and compare to what is going on now in Iraq. History repeats itself.

Vietnam war was funny because the american public had an irrational hatred towards it and we lost because we pulled out.
I seem to remember the VC authorities admitting, about five years ago, we had them beat if we had stayed in one or two more years .

One dead Vietnamese was costing America $20000 dollars. 58,000 Americans were killed. The attack on Saigon was the failure. Act of intimidation - the destruction of Hanoi from the air failed because of high losses B-52.
The evacuation was the emergency.

I wasn't saying that it was an efficient or beautiful war, but withdrawing was a tactical mistake made by a politician who had no military sense.
Which is my biggest gripe about America: The head of our military is incompetent in military affairs. We need to go back to electing generals.
