Reading 4

This reading compared and contrasted the Vietnam War with the current situation in Iraq. Although there are some correlations similarities between the 2 wars there are also many differences. For example there is no national protest against the war in Iraq. Also we are not facing the same amount of casualties for this war. However there are also similarities. For example we are in unfamiliar territory. Our leaders do not know what is going on. We are fighting a war that each day looks more and more like it is never going to end.
