Losing Vietnam

The big story of the week has been the President's decision to double down and claim that a) Vietnam was lost due to a lack of fortitude by the American people and b) that Iraq is just like Vietnam.

As one of those weak kneed Americans, I would respectfully submit that Nam was lost because of spoiled rich kids that decided they'd rather snort coke than answer the call to duty.

But on a larger note I seriously wish all the baby boomers would stop trying to make everything about them. The men and women my age (who are the ones dying in Iraq) are far too valiant to serve as props for the rest of you to relive your glory days.
