Washington, DC – The Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA) issued a statement today denouncing comparisons of Vietnam to Iraq. “We resent the parallels being drawn,” a VVA spokesman said. “Our mission had a greater purpose. We fought a guerilla war with the Viet Cong to save the Republic of Vietnam from invasion. These guys are just being asked to police a civil war born out of false intelligence. Stop comparing us,” he demanded. President Bush agreed that the wars are very different. “I dodged Vietnam,” he chortled, “and this time, I am fighting in it head on like a video game.” Despite the comparisons, Army recruitments rose 100% in June, when they recuited two vagabonds in Nebraska.
