Well here we go again, you would think with all the books at the universities about history and the fact our lawmakers were living it as well, that someone would have taken notice. Ted Kennedy was one of the First to point out the "quagmire" that was Vietnam and attach it to the Iraq War. and now its gotten to the point that our lawmakers are now attacking the troops. The most visual one was Gen. Patraeus in front of Congress. There are others, just as vile but few that were played so much on the TV. A country that turns on its Protectors is heading down a dark path. Its a Time in this world that we haven't been in before. Often people Compare this war with WWII being both have gone on for four years, but what they neglect to point out are the stats from WWII. Like every time we landed on an island in the Pacific we incurred at last as many dead as we currently list for this four year and counting war, Guadalcanal, Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa........the first 15Minutes of Operation Overlord. Daylight bombing......Every bomber had at least ten aboard, 300-1000 bombers in the air, 50% Casualties....You do the math.
If we had gone into Iraq and Afghanistan with WWII numbers we would have been Marshall planning both in three years.........
Support our Troops, And stop Comparing Apples and Oranges
