everyone seems to be looking at this comparisson as a death rate between the two wars. there are also similarities in the way they began like the tonkin gulf incident in 1964 that we now know never happened, in the iraq war there are the weapons of mass destruction. vietnam started out as a gureilla war and turned into a conventional war, iraq started out conventional and is turning into a guriella war. LBJ visited South Vietnam in 1966 to boost troop morale, much like Bush did over Thanksgiving, so ther are more similarities and things to compare than just simply casualty rates.
