People like to compare Iraq to Vietnam

Don't.  Vietnam is known as the forgotten war.  The current forgotten war is Afghanistan.

I just saw a report on CNN about soldiers who have served in Afghanistan or who are going back after Iraq tours.

Their sentiment?  Everyone tells me, "Afghanistan, well at least you aren't in Iraq, you will be safe."

The Afghanistan losses are going up.

Afghanistan is the forgotten war.  It is the war we all agree we should be fighting with all our American might, but we are ignoring it.
