finally, Cameron actually agrees with me!
actually. I am surprised at the way the author handled the data. chart 3 shows exactly the point I was trying to make. if 1965 is used as a starting date (as many would because this is the point where the US began taking an active part in combat instead of merely advising) then the comparison with Iraq becomes absurd. the data from that point on makes Iraq look like a walk in the park compared to Vietnam
