Well first of all there isnt a draft so the connection loses some validity there.
And you totally miss the picture here. Iraqis and Afghans are a national identity not extremists or terrorist groups. Both wars were fought against political powers and extremist groups, not against Iraqis or Afghans. This is why I used to want to slap people in the face for saying "lets just bomb the iraqies and leave" even if they were joking.
Plus Vietnam was totally different from these wars.
