Adjusted for inflation, Vietnam probably actually cost us less money than Iraq. So in some ways, Vietnam was a better war. The human life toll isn't as high fortunately. Our credibility has probably taken a bigger hit though.

Fifty-eight thousand Americans lost their lives. The losses to the Vietnamese people were appalling. The financial cost to the United States comes to something over $150 billion dollars. Direct American involvement began in 1955 with the arrival of the first advisors. The first combat troops arrived in 1965 and we fought the war until the cease-fire of January 1973. To a whole new generation of young Americans today, it seems a story from the olden times.

150 billion adjusting for inflation equals $763,750,278,650.66.

 

So less.  Yet i think the lost of life is kinda more important.
