1. From the time point of view, the Vietnam War took place in the cold war period of the "bipolar world", while the Iraq War took place in the post-cold war period of "one superpower and many powers".

2. In terms of time, the Vietnam War was a "modern war" and the Iraq War was a "modern war".

4. From the war form, the Vietnam War is in the era of "mechanized war", while the Iraq War has initially entered the "information war".

5. According to the battlefield environment, the combat area in Vietnam War was "jungle+city", while the area in Iraq War was "desert+city".

6. From the end of the war, the Vietnam War ended with the withdrawal of the United States, the collapse of the Wu Tingyan regime in South Vietnam, and the reunification of the whole of Vietnam by North Vietnam; The Iraq war ended with the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime. As far as American families are concerned, the Vietnam War was a great failure. Not only did it not win the battlefield, but it also caused a huge fiscal deficit in the United States, which buried the hidden danger of "stagflation" in the economy and made American society suffer from "Vietnam War Syndrome" in social psychology. In contrast, the Iraq war was "glorious". After all, it was won on the battlefield. However, the international community has different views on the Iraq war, so it is not easy to draw a conclusion now, and it will take time to test.
