Vietnam
Dead = 58,00 +
Wounded = 153,000+
Missing = 2000+
Heros' = NONE

Iraq + Afgan how many? 5000 dead
Heros' everyone wearing a uniformThe problem with winning the war in Afghanistan is that it cannot be won; nor can it be lost. The Taliban are a constant enemy, there is no action that we take to decisively weaken their strengths because they are too great in number and too elusive to be engaged in an effective way. On the other hand, they are not strong enough to ever dream of defeating us, and they do not have the popular support of the Afghan people, who merely want to be left alone by both sides of the conflict. It's a stalemate everyway you look at it. This truly could be a never ending war if the president(s) wanted it to be. The only way we will ever leave is through indecisiveness.
