Red line, if accurately portraying all the munitions striking Americans, looks much like or may be higher than the blue line. I was hoping I would not have to sound byte what is much better explained in a 500 word post - where reasons why are provided. UTs graph only demonstrates superior medical treatment, body armor, etc. "Mission Accomplished" continues to parallel Nam - especially the part where leaders lie. Especially the severe economic consequences. Especially the part where a president will do anything to not lose a war under his watch - America be damned.

What is different? During Nam, nobody was asking, "When do we go after bin Laden." IOW Nixon was not the prolific liar that George Jr is. And Nixon did not do what Agnew ordered. Nixon was smarter.
