Reply #42: What is deceptive is saying Iraq isn't 'Nam coz we haven't lost 58,000

[LynnTheDem]

When in fact 'Nam went on over a decade, and Iraq has only been 2 years.

Let's compare total bodycount when Iraq ends in however many years/decades.

If people use TOTAL DEATHS in 'Nam as their basis for saying Iraq isn't another 'Nam, then they must take into account the fact that in 2 years of Iraq we've lost more troops than in the first 5 years of 'Nam.

The more troops the LESS deaths. Taking that into account, and the vastly improved medical and armor, Iraq is worse.

Your opinion may differ; that's your right. :)
