Iraq, Vietnam and public perception

Those that want to see the similarities will. Those that don't, will not. Look for the usual suspects to make their obvious answers. TPS, Reb, Blackadder,et al, will see it.Saintman Dads, and the like will say no comparison. It would be nice, however, if someone surprises with their answer. I was really too young to know much about Vietnam, being 8 when we left. This war, however, seems, on the surface, to be fought the same way. That is, from the White House and not on the field. I am not against the war, I just disagree with the way it is being fought. Like a police action. Like Korea and Vietnam. Of course, I am not there, not seeing the day to days, so this is just my weakly informed opinion.
