Perspective: Vietnam and the GWoT

Dan Riehl adds another installment to the "Historical Perspective the Mainstream Media/Democrat Noise Machine Refuse To Add" series.

Four Years of War in Iraq and Afghanistan: Total of 4,000 fatalities (yet another 'grim milestone').

Vietnam fatalities: 1965 - 1,863; 1966 - 6,143; 1967 - 11,153; 1968 - 16,592; 1969 - 11,616; 1970 - 6,081; 1971 - 2,357.

Riehl notes that we lost four times as many soldiers in 1968 alone than in four years and two theaters in this war.

Yup. This war is just like Vietnam.
