It seems as if the military -industrial complex, because now we have people like you cheerleading the concept of perpetual war, where we are in essentially defenseless countries killing their citizens because we are living in fear that the "bad people" (usually translateable as "brown people" will get us. You seem to care so much about the Vietnamese, but you don't say a thing about the million Vietnamese that we killed trying to beat Vietnam. Or the Agent Orange that is still causing birth defects over there. Or the 60,000 American soldiers that we sent to their deaths. -- for what? If we never invaded Vietnam we would still have been just as unbeatable if we won, but you have no problem with invading Vietnam and killing its people -- your only complaint is that we didn't kill enough Vietnamese people or have enough Americans die. Where would the great kindness have been in staying in Vietnam and killing another million Vietnamese? The USSR wasn't a democracy, so the people were not able to stop the war against Afghanistan -- the USSR went broke as a result. The greatest danger to the USSR was from its own will to continue waging war to the end -- and that it did. The greatest danger to America is not from the brown people -- it's from the Americans who are in love with war at any cost, and who would happily stay at war forever.
