Agree, but for a different reason: the American public won't stand for those kind of numbers this time. And going by the death rate, we're seeing about 1/5 the rate of deaths that Vietnam had, obviously lower than Vietnam, but still much higher in comparison with any of the U.S.'s other modern wars...
