Iraq?
I just read an article in The Daily Sun titled "It just feels like a waste: vets watch as insurgents undo sacrifices in Iraq". It speaks of the sacrifices of the war that killed 4500 Americans and " feels like a waste". The US spent billions of dollars training the Iraq troops who now just throw down their weapons and quit. Their government got rich off American dollars. Their president did not want the US there any longer.
Compare that to Vietnam where the US was for 12 years in their civil war and the US lost over 58,000 soldiers. Very similar.
Both wars were ones the US should not have been involved with and were built on lies by the President when the US got involved.
Will these serve as lessons learned?
