In fact, the main reason is that the power gap between Iraq and Vietnam is too great. Although Saddam Hussein once clamored to make the American army pay the price of blood, the military equipment of the American army was much better than that of Iraq, and Iraq was annihilated without even seeing the shadow of the American army. So, how can such a country let the US military bleed into a river?

In fact, before the Iraq war broke out, the information technology revolution was accelerated twice, and the military and scientific and technological development of the United States was much faster than that of other countries, ranking at the top of the world. Iraq, on the other hand, just caught up with the technological upgrading of the US military, so Iraq has almost become an experiment of the new technology of the US military. When Iraq was still clamoring to use AK-47 to fight the last battle with the US military, the US military directly bombed the Iraqi people in places where Iraq could not see them. Even the most elite Iraqi tanks didn't even have a chance to fire before they were annihilated.

Therefore, although Saddam Hussein clamored to turn the Gulf into Vietnam and let the US military bleed into a river, in the face of the crushing of military equipment, it was like a child waving a toy knife at an adult with a submachine gun and completely dying. In the Vietnam War, the gap between the United States and Vietnam in military technology and equipment was actually not too big, so the Vietnam War could make the United States suffer big losses. It is impossible for Iraq to achieve the same result as the Vietnam War.

Generally, six Vietnamese soldiers died in the Vietnam War, and only one American soldier died. But in the Gulf War, if 1000 Iraqi soldiers died and an American soldier died, it would be an accident in the hearts of the United States. Therefore, despite Saddam's clamor, Iraq has no arrogant capital.
