Mutt his is not going to be another Vietnam....
We have become very spoiled in recent years that war is something we can do from a distance, and not suffer any casualties. The fact is, war is war. Taking over an entire country is a difficult proposition. We have made AMAZING strides in Iraq. Our troops have gone further in 72 hours into enemy territory then any force EVER in history.
While we all hate casualties, they are a part of war. The numbers we are seeing are LOW. The press, with the aid of the White House - had led Americans to beleive this was going to be a cake walk, like the first war. It is not the same war. Saddam and his people are not stupid, they learned lessons from 10 years ago.
We have to understand there will be setbacks in war, and we may suffer casualties and POWs, more then in anywar since Vietnam. But we will prevail, Saddam's regime will be expelled.
We as a nation have become weak minded in many ways, it is frustrating.... I wonder what our grandparents would have done if they had the same attitudes during WWII.
I just hope the President understand this, and lets our military take the gloves off.... the sooner we get the war over, the less casualties we will have in the long term.
This war will probably not be over in days, or even weeks, but it will end on our terms and in victory.
