Re: Trump's escalating war. I feel like I'm watching a Vietnam War documentary on fast forward, and I continue to be reminded of what LBJ said about the war: He said he felt like a hitchhiker caught in Texas hailstorm--can't run, can't hide, can't make it stop. foreignpolicy.com/2026/08/14/i...

Yes, the Iran War Really Is Similar to Vietnam
Trump’s war is “The Best and the Brightest”—but without the best and the brightest.
