    There are many differences, but the main similarity is the asymmetric warfare that happened in Iran Vietnam and is happening in Iran.

    So, while the situation in these wars are different, the reasons for losing the war are similar: because the American military and government don’t understand asymmetric warfare.

      I can’t agree enough. Vietnam and Iran employed the same strategy – bypass the US military and strike the US economy, international position, and resolve. And Iran accomplished in four months what took Vietnam nineteen years.
