Well, you did an excellent job and frankly I was impressed. Grounding it in reality is a good choice and you took the high road and didn't rely on cheap tricks. It is commendable.

In my personal opinion, don't worry about drawing parallels between Iraq and Vietnam. For one they are both wars, and war is war. For another, I personally see many similarities between them (I don't want to start some political debate so I won't go into it). But my main reason is that you, as an artist and writer, should never censor yourself. Write what you feel and fuck the world. Be controversial if you want to. The best writing is always controversial. Then it has power and says something. Even if people disagree at least it got them thinking.
