Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan....?

is Iran going to be the next disastrous military adventure of the US?

Update:

Come on guys, don't fool me with the number of enemies (civilians an military) the US killed. If that is how you measure military success just drop your nukes around the globe.

    I for one hope not.

    We should have learned a very valuable lesson from Nam, but we didn't.

    Eisenhower was the person that got us involved in Nam, bush compounded the problem when we invaded Iraq, had we taken out OBL, when we had the opportunity, we would have saved a lot of lives, along with a lot of money.

    That depends on world opinion and the actions of Iran.

    The first to raise a red flag won't be Israel, it will be Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or the UAE.

    They have much more at stake and have been dealing with Iran's power grabs in the straits for years.

    The US will never invade Iran nothing really worth the time and effort when your done removing their military command and control and communications.

    But I guess if you listen to some people on YA who cares if Iran has a nuclear weapon, who cares if they decide to use it not just on Israel but Saudi Arabia, or just nuke the straits. That will shut down shipping traffic for years.

    I guess has long has it's not happening in the US it's cool right?

    I'm pretty sure those were not disastrous.

    Vietnam:

    US deaths: 58 220 vs Vietnamese (North Vietnamese Army + Viet Cong): 1 176 000

    Iraq:

    US deaths: 4 487 vs Iraqi (Army under Saddam + insurgents) deaths: 37 205, 12 000 detainees

    Afghanistan:

    US deaths: 1780 vs Afghan Insurgents deaths: 41 000

  • In Vietnam we didn't get pushed out we simply left.We were killing thousands of Vietcong and it was estimated that near 3 million Vietcong soldiers died while only 58 thousand American soldiers died in a war that was over 10 years long.But people like you don't research anything.In Iraq we killed there ruler his kids and overthrew the government in Iraq.we then brought them a new better government...........so how did we fail???In Afghanistan we killed thousands of terrorist including Bin ladin.Basically all the guys who attacked us or were apart of it were killed by the United States.

    So how did we fail

    I would be nervous to fight the USA
