Havoc: I'm telling you, as an old 'Nam hand, I've seen this movie... we're in the middle of a civil war. The enemy are highly motivated nationalists who want to kick out foreign powers... and replace an inept, deeply corrupt central government! How is this NOT Vietnam all over again?

Such ignorance makes anything you say questionable.
