If there is an Iranian war, the only reason that it would be worse then Vietnam is because of us, the people of the US haven't been able to present a united front since WWII. when over half the country wants to tuck tale, and the people we are fighting know that then every war we will be in no mater who its with will be along drawn out war. because we will never be able to brake our enemies will if they are always thinking that any day we may just quit.

Thats the problem, they think we are weak and will lose resolve so they try to play the waiting game.


Long wars suck, and are hard to win, more so for a republic.

Where as a country like China could invade and stay in a country like Iraq for 20 years not really giving a damn if they lose a few thousand troops, we can't do that.
