Don't forget the 10,000 + Iraqi's that have been killed..there again they don't count I guess.
Before the situation in Iraq is resolved the coalition forces death toll is going ot be MUCH higher than 500.
Uh, over a million Vietnamese died in the Vietnam War. I mean, seriously, there is no comparision for it. I mean, when we get into civi casualties, your case gets even worse because of the disparity in numbers.
You do realize that the number of Vietnam casualties accounts for some 15 years of combat right?
There is a difference between a year of occupation in Iraq and 15 in Vietnam. Its a really big difference too. This arguement of the similarities here is moot....15 and 1 are too far apart to consider total numbers.
After dismissing this silly aruguement, you are left with the serious similarities/differences to discuss.
