First of all the classification of the word "war" will have to be agreed upon. WWI, WWII, US Civil War, Spanish-American War of 1898, Korea, Vietnam, etc. were all Fought against a nation. Those nations being: Germany, Japan, Spain, North Korea, North Vietnam, etc. In "Operation Enduring Freedom" in Afghanistan...the United States of America is NOT at war with Afghanistan! Therefore, the "longest war" against what nation???

Why was America fighting in Vietnam a mistake?
What the war in Vietnam was... it was a SHAME. Our troops were involved in a conflict that is no different than the conflicts in Afghanistan or Iraq. The brave young men and women fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq are seen as heroes; the brave young men and women who fought in Vietnam were seen as trash, killers, and every other imaginable degrading name. The main difference between these conflicts... the American news media. Please, when you meet a Vietnam Vet, take the time to thank them for their service and tell them how sad America should be that these brave soldiers were treated the way they were.
