Was Vietnam a war or police action?
1. A war is fighting another nation (THEIR AIR FORCE, NAVY, & ARMY). Was the US fighting against a nation in Vietnam? Yes, the country called North Vietnam. 2. Was the US fighting a nation in WWII? Yes , the US was fighting Germany & Japan (yes and Italy, but they surrendered so quickly, historians often leave them out of the debate). 3. Was the US fighting a nation in the war of 1812? Yes, the nation called Great Britain. A Police Action or Law Enforcement Action is fighting against terrorists (Criminals or Insurgents) who have no nation (if they did the US would attack that nation, destroying terrorists would be EASIER THEN!). The United States is NOT fighting against the nations of Iraq nor Afghanistan. Therefore the United States of America is NOT at war with those nations. Those are police actions...the restoring of law, order, and stability to those regions...or at least in Afghanistan, the capturing or killing of terrorists.
