Not really.
Korea resulted in no gain for anyone and is the only one that is comparative to Vietnam.
WW I and II had a decisive conclusion in that they did have one clear enemy who was defeated.
Iraq has no clear enemies as it is impossible to choose one side over the other, I'm not talking America and it's allies against insurgents , I am talking about the fact that the Iraqis have been fighting each other for decades. We have caused instability in a region renowned for it's tribalism.
We supported Saddam when he was fighting Iran .
The cost in allied and Iraqi lives is simply not worth it.
