Obama vows Afghanistan will not be another Vietnam President Barack Obama is vowing that the U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan will not turn into another Vietnam. In a speech at the U.S. Military Academy Tuesday night, Obama rejected the argument that the U.S. should cut its losses and get out. Declaring "our security is at stake," the president ordered an additional 30,000 U.S. troops into the long war in Afghanistan, but balanced the buildup with a pledge to begin withdrawing American forces in 18 months.
