Nightingale 0 #7 October 6, 2006 We've had more fatalities in Iraq than we did in the War of 1812 or the Spanish-American War, and are rapidly approaching the number of fatalities in the Revolutionary War. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 2,182 #8 October 6, 2006 msnbc.msn.com/id/15155638/ "Fiasco" is more accurate than "comma".

The folk who decided to fight on in the face of a militarily superior aggressor... The refusal to make peace and work with the all-conquering coalition Axis.... Perhaps not the best of parallels to draw on methinks! Mike. Taking the piss out of the FrenchAmericans since before it was fashionable.

A lot of US veterans are alive today because the leadership back then had the wisdom to swallow their pride and do the right thing. My Lai was an outrage and an attempted cover-up that failed, but it was not the norm. My Lai happened March 16, 1968 and nobody just quit. I went back to serve from 72 to 73. All the infantry guys had gone home, but there was still a war going on, and Americans were still dying. edited to add Watergate probably stopped us from bombing the North Vietnamese back to the stone age.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Both were (indirect) results of US troops put in an impossible situation. It took four years after My Lai to start pulling significant numbers of troops out; I hope we don't wait as long this time.
