Destroyed, heavily damaged, sunk, crashed, or no longer serviceable machines such as Swift Boats (aluminum), Tanks (steel), Jets (aluminum), and US Army M1 steel pots (steel helmets);(the Vietnamese prefer to wear their olive drab colored army pith helmets-they're more practicle in a tropical environment) have been re-cycled for their metals (scrapped). Useable items such as trucks, jeeps, generators, machineguns, rifles, pistols, artillery, etc. are used until they can be replaced. Some war machines are preserved in musuems. A US tourist put on the internet a photo(s) of some former US Navy "Brown Water Navy" PCFs (Patrol Craft Fast/better known as SWIFT BOATS). Those aluminum fifty foot long boats were still afloat, tied together with about 2 or 3 other Swifts along side a dock. Wasn't clear if they were "now" civilian fishing boats or part of the current Vietnamese Navy...they appeared to be still in their military colors...although extremely faded colors.

Did senator Kerry compare irag to Vietnam?

Nearly ALL politicians, movie stars, and the common person relate ANY current conflict with Vietnam, because that was America's last major war. Operation Urgent Fury in 1983 (Grenada) was compared to Vietnam; so was Operation Just Cause in 1989 (Panama); as was Operation Desert Storm in 1991 (Iraq), etc. etc. They certainly cannot be compared with a TOTAL war which was "declared" and used atomic weapons...such as WWII.
