You're a little older than me, and you've seen it before as an adult. I figured no way would the extreme left be allowed to create another Vietnam, thinking we should have learned that lesson from history, and thinking no right-minded American would take another political loss on the battlefield just for partisan politics.
Guess I was wrong.
The allure of power is just too overpowering to ignore for some. Also, remember that some of those in power until now were also in power then...a good reason for term limits in my opinion. Many of the icons of extreme liberalism and anti war proponents are still around too.
