At the same time, a substantial portion of those grunts in Vietnam were draftees; I don't know if we're scraping the bottom of the same depth of morale failure yet. I don't think we are, at least. This force is still a (mostly, if you don't count the "it's either a prison stint or military service" enlistees) volunteer army.

Yeah, I don't think US military is quite at Vietnam levels either. Vietnam does show that there are limits though.
