Did the U.S. Learn Any Lessons From Vietnam? | Common Dreams | Breaking News & Views for the Progressive Community

As the world waits for Congress to stop beating around the bush and give Obama his authorization to use force…..maybe step back in history and ask a simple question……do we Americans learn from our past?

When ever I am among others and the dialog turns to war……I am always drawn into the conversation, whether I want to or not……..of course most of them want to put a positive light on the Vietnam thing…..and then I just simply say…”if you were not there then you opinion is moot”….

I have heard this question asked many times…..”did we learn anything from Vietnam”?

My answer is usually short and concise……NO!
