Reply #2: We all knew that was coming

I wonder why most Americans didn't? The effects of war on Vietnam and Desert Storm veterans wasn't buried too far back in our history. It was still in the national consciousness of America in the lead up to the current debacle. The baby boomer generation in particular should have known all too well what happens to people who have seen combat. Somehow we forgot and marched needlessly into another death trap.
