Also, like Vietnam this has been a war of miscalculations, from the reasons behind the war to how the rebuilding process would go it has been a poorly prepared conflict.

That's the nature of war. WWII was full of miscalculations. I could write a laundry list of mistakes the American Armed Forces made during that war.

 

Iraq can be compared to Vietnam insomuch as it could be compared to other wars.

Considering it was a civil war, I can understand why many Americans were upset about the war.

 

WWI-The US went into the war as neutral despite stronger alliances towards England. Once the threat of commerce terrorism from Germany had become a possibility, the US entered the war. Of course, a high % of the population in the US had just migrated from Germany and Ireland (who supported Germany).

 

Those ties aren't there are anymore that you saw in WWI.

I'm not sure what your point is, rephrase it please.

People with German descent that date back to the 1800's don't have that strong bond with Germany as they did in the early 1900's. You can say the same thing for the Irish and Polish who had similar migration patterns.

Oh, i understood that part. I just wasn't sure how that tied into our discussion aside from your WWI analysis.
