Vietnam Is the Battle That Never Ends

I do agree with the title of this article. We continue to "fight" that war, even today.

A thought provoking article. It has some interesting points, but to balance what the author is stating and what his endpoint actually is, I will have to find, read and study GEN Petraeus's article that is referenced and other material.

I do have a bone of contention about the sub-title or theoretical statement made at the top of the article; "It brought us generational war and, for today’s young soldiers, ceaseless tragedy."
I wonder what he thinks the Hundred Years' War was, or if he knows and understands when the Vietnam War actually started, or how the Korean War had such a big impact on how it was waged.

The author of the article linked above - Major Danny Sjursen, a TomDispatch regular, is a U.S. Army strategist and former history instructor at West Point. He served tours with reconnaissance units in Iraq and Afghanistan, and is the author of the memoir Ghost Riders of Baghdad: Soldiers, Civilians, and the Myth of the Surge.

MMM... Pho. Drooool...
