2. The war in Vietnam affected United States' involvement in the current dealing with Iraq. In Vietnam, the US was shown that increasing American force is not necessarily the best method for the US to use. They realized that they must use diplomacy in Iraq and work on building the government to help them gain some independence instead of just sending more troops and taking control of the nation. The naive belief that the war could be won with limited casualties was also destroyed. Overall, Vietnam gave the US a lot more experience in dealing with Iraq and provided them with a much more realistic mentality with which to base their operations. (Regardless of whether or not they used the experience.)
