I carried a rifle in VietNam and a stethoscope in Afghanistan as an
Army Reservist. I kept diaries from both conflicts and have
factually reported all that I saw and experienced from the mundane
to the absurd. With a thirty three year pause in between combat
tours, I nonetheless noticed many similarities and opportunities
lost in the two conflicts which discredits the current arguments
that Afghanistan is not VietNam. In both conflicts the United
States military fought to preserve the lives and countries of our
allies yet despised them. Operations went on in both conflicts
without heed for the expected results and in the process
effectively isolated the vast bulk of soldiers from the populations
that they were trying to defend. Both conflicts were severely
underestimated by our leaders, both civilian and military. The
VietNam veteran suffered the price of his unpopular war and now the
Afghanistan and Iraq veteran is coming home to a growing public
indifference to their sacrifices.
