They were just talking on CNN about how, 'just like Vietnam' it would be better for the troops to know they would be there for a whole year 'just like Vietnam'.

he HATES when people compare Iraq to Vietnam, it just gets his blood boiling.

3. Well the twelve month tour of duty would be like Vietnam |

And I'm sure a few other similarities will be demonstrated. It ain't gunna be pretty no matter what it resembles.
