Iraq: Vietnam Revisited

One of the many lessons we learned from the war in Vietnam is that technology alone rarely confers an insurmountable military edge. Even the most powerful military in the world must figure out how to harness it’s military power by the use of good judgment, wisdom, prudence and above all, farsightedness.

The lesson of the war in Vietnam at a cost of over 60,000 grave markers was that the Vietnamese considered our technological advantage irrelevant. They understood that the American willingness to keep the Army fighting was a diminishing asset unless it could be plainly and repeatedly demonstrated that there was a bright light at the end of the tunnel. If not, sooner or later, the American people would rise up and say enough and the war would be lost. And so it is in Iraq. It is a war without borders in search of a political solution
