Vietnam battles were won by the US. Mujadeen were beating the Soviets in tactics on the ground. Huge difference. The west could of invaded Soviet Union. US could invade anywhere in the world. Gulf War massed what half a million troops for a war that didn't last a week? Come on dude. You got it wrong. It's the other way around. The Soviets couldn't invade the USA. Again it's the US logistics capability that makes the US military capable of bringing wars to anywhere in the world, and no other military surpasses it, not even close. I don't know where you been at.
Politically American people will back wars if it means the country's existance is at stake. Simple answer yes.
