Look, troops were blindly sent into Vietnam because the commanders said they needed more troops. Commanders in Afghanistan are saying they need more troops, and pan said it's a 1-2-3 decision a simple decision as he put it, also at the time commanders in Vietnam were asking for more troops no one knew the war wasn't winnable, just as no one can say for sure Afghanistan is winnable. Therefore, the two can be compared in that respect. It isn't like I'm comparing both wars directly, I'm not, I'm merely showing pan troops get killed when stupid and reactionary decision are made.
