In Vietnam, American forces became isolated in bases, while the Vietcong controlled the countryside.
That contrasted with the different approach in the Australian region, where SAS patrols moved widely in the landscape, monitoring the Vietcong.
Similar things happened in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Another reason the comparison with Vietnam is apt is the loss of support at home, which forced the withdrawal .
Another point is America has alienated its allies, who have refused to join the attacks on Iraq.
Trump's cancellation of military aid to Ukraine means Europe feels abandoned and in no mood to support America. NATO is being divided as America is increasingly ignored.
There is no going back. America is stagnating as the global democracies assert their independence.
The comparison with Vietnam is appropriate.
