There are many similarities between the war in Afghanistan and the Vietnam War. In both wars, the opposition to the USA used dirty tactics. In Vietnam, the Viet-Cong used punji sticks and many other Jungle traps like rusty fish hooks and tripwire bombs. In the Afghanistan war, Jihad and Guerilla warfare were used to fight off unsuspecting American soldiers. Both Wars were proxy wars, meaning wars where two parties support two sides of a war for their own benefit. Finally both wars were had very much loss. Loss in life and loss in money.
