And to say that the wars in Vietnam and Iraq are similar is like saying that Kansas and Oregon are similar. Vietnam was jungle where the enemy (mostly in a uniform) could be 5 feet away and you couldn't see him. Iraq is a desert and urban setting where ONLY Americans are in a uniform so NO ONE knows who's the enemy is.
And as for him going a military school......finishing 5th FROM THE BOTTOM does NOT give one a lot of confidence IMO!
Wheres your information that the Vietnamese were in uniforms? And in a dense jungle an enemy could be in a tree above your head and you would have no idea he was there. How many times did Americans mistake Vietnamese civilians for enemy combatants? If the Vietnamese wore uniforms all the time how did they make the mistake? Please tell me how.
