    Well, Iran is almost 5x the size of Vietnam;

    it’s government has been in existence for almost 50 years, or maybe almost twice the time that Vietnam was independent in 1975;

    there is no “South Iran”;

    and Moscow and Beijing have been getting along for these past few decades;

    unlike boomers and those older, young men haven’t been drafted for 50 years;

    oh, and LBJ dropped out of the 1968 primaries before his 70th birthday, and Nixon resigned at 61, after he went to China and signed a SALT treaty with the USSR;

    but aside from all of that, it will be pretty much like Vietnam.
