I must admit, this is about the first time I really follow what is happening the whole time, last Gulf war I was too busy partying. It also helps that we're not really involved in most wars, except for the War in Yugoslavia.
When I read about all those soldiers and civilians dying, it breaks my heart. All I think about is the Vietnam war though, how bad was that war actually. Can we compare a war like this one with the Vietnam war, be it only 7 days so far). How ugly was that war really? Is it overstated by our parents who grew up in the 50s-60s, or was it really a lot worse than todays wars?
