I wonder how many decades it's going to take before people stop comparing every military action to the Viet Nam 'quagmire?'

In Afghanistan, it was after 21 days, and now it's already being said after 5?? Sheesh!!

You're right on. 300 miles in 5 days with less than 2 dozen KIA? Even FOX is acting like the redcoats are about to burn the Whitehouse! As I used to say to my sailors in deck division on the USS Clark - this is a dirty dangerous job made more so because it revolves around explosives, flamables, no sleep and bad food - In the summer of 1988, the Navy alone lost almost 200 sailors and we were at peace!All news media and all Americans need to "Sack Up!".
