The draft was going on during Vietnam. Most soldiers didn't want to be there. They were treated like total shit when they returned home. Many became homeless...several still are.
From a soldiers perspective, both wars were/are very different.
I look at things from that angle.
We could have kicked 'Nam's ass. There's NO disputing that issue. Thankfully, we didn't. I'm glad we left, and I'll be glad when everyone returns home from this current mess, too. I'm also glad these soldiers are being treated better than their Vietnam brothers/sisters.
