The biggest lesson I learned from the Vietnam era was that we should never go into any country without the 'hearts and minds' of those citizens wanting us. (I'm talking about bringing democracy to people) Afghanistan was different in that that's where Osama was abiding. Now I hear it being said that we're 'trapped there', which is complete bs. We'll leave just like Vietnam, in a hurry!
