Veitnam was a mistake piled upon a mistake piled upon a mistake, held together by hubris, and resulted in the deaths of millions.

Vietnam was not lost on the battlefields. It was lost by the treasonous efforts of American citizens. Even Giap admits this. The battles of Vietnam resulted in over a million dead people. Communism itself resulted in the deaths of hundreds of millions of dead people. Was fighting communism wrong? Well, I guess that depends on if a person is a communist or not.
Strange that Franklin didn't seem to have a problem with Art. III § 3...

Over 50% of the first wave of invasion of D-Day on Omaha beach died. Those soldiers faced death, and you dismiss their sacrafice as small. D-Day was a sacrafice of blood made by heros. Please don't belittle it.

I didn't belittle it. I'm merely pointing out that in terms of a "stand-up fight" such as D-Day, the US casualties in Iraq are accurrately described as "light".
