Cape May Beach Re: What is the difference between Vietnam and Iran? Trump knew how to get out of Vietnam. / That’s funny, but in order to be convincing the backstory has to match the joke. What ruins it for me is knowing Democrat Lyndon Johnson spun up that war, un-winnable at that time since the Vietnamese were very experienced jungle fighters. Our forces did a heck of a job given the technology and training they had and didn’t deserve the disrespect from hippies now old that hate Trump and carry signs. Protest war? Peacefully yes. Ignore those who risk lives for us? Absolutely not.
