Gonna keep it simple, while Reagon's words were without a doubt designed to give himself a political edge over the Democrats, there was a certain amount of truth to them. The same damn thing is happening in Iraq that happened in Vietnam, we are failing to turn our boys loose and let'em kick some ass. We spend millions training our military to kill and kick ass with class then we send them to a foreign country and tell them to be policeman and not to kill. It's fundamentally wrong. Whether you like it or not the far Left plays a big part of this giant political/military clusterfuck. The far Leftist movement of this country should feel guilty and no wonder it still bothers them some 25 years after the words was spoken. Sometimes I think the far left of the Democratic Party rejoice when the body bags of fallen Americans come off the planes much like they did during the Vietnam era. Shit, we even have traiters much like Hanoi Jane that are visiting and collaberating with the enemy just for a few minutes in the spotlight. So just keep fueling the fire and giving the "insurgents" that shiny glimmer of hope. Apparently that's what the far left does best. And yes history does repeat itself.
