Enough with the Vietnam comparisons. Here's all you need to know: in each conflict we entered it for spurious reasons. We backed faulty horses after we got in. We poured billions of dollars into each out of a misguided sense that America doesn't lose wars. We alienated the population we were trying to help to the point where they began to sympathize with and provide support to the insurgents who were fighting us. And we had no idea how to get out once we got in.
Fortunately, there's still a little room on the National Mall for another wall.
