hmm interesting video, I agree, If I we're in the war I'd be pissed too, this war is killing people, for what really is no gain and nothing won, we're in another Vietnam and should accept we shouldn't have gone there in the first place and leave instead of killing more of our people, I think what makes me angry is that Bush and the other idiots don't take into account that this war is ruining lives, here and abroad, they don't look at the human factor

Iraq isn't like Vietnam IMO, reasons for war were different, number of troops was nearly 3 times greater in Vietnam and US deaths/wounded were much higher (58,000+ killed/305,000+ wounded).

The Vietnam war lasted 12 years. We are only at the 4-year point of the Iraq war. As for casualties, due to better armor, many more soldiers who would have died back in the 1960s, are instead coming back alive with perminant injuries. Numbers in the Iraq war so far are 3,600+ killed, 26,000+ wounded.

"And the US civil war wouldn't have been so bloody had they had body armor"

Ah, play with the stats all you want...still not close to the same.
