All those numbers were meaningless, the equivalent of the U.S. WWII casualty numbers prior to Pearl Harbor.
The only valid analogy to the Vietnam War is that the Left is doing its damnedest to make sure we lose.
There is no Cold War national superpower element overhanging it. No nation is openly backing the insurgency and terrorists, although some are trying to do it under the table.
This isn't the "early days" of the war in Iraq. If anything, as elections continue, these are the final days. What you are seeing now is pretty much as bad as its going to get, an average of a little over two casualties a day. At the height of the Vietnam War, the U.S. was taking 2,000 casualties in a month, or what the entire war in Iraq has cost in over two and a half years.
