Do any Veterans see any similarities between the Iraq War and the Vietnam War?

Same war, different battlefield, different generation. History repeats because we fail to learn from it.

Politicians telling us when/where/how to pull the triggers. Politicians who have never served telling the Military how they can operate. I liken it to a patron of a food establishment telling a chef how their kitchen is to be run properly.

That there was no official beaten enemy and as soon as we left, the people that we were fighting against rolled in and started a mass genocide.
