Policies that make the nation more secure, particularly against foreign threats, do not necessarily undermine its people's liberty. Protecting individual liberty does not invariably hobble the nation's defense.
Explanation:
I would say that President Bush's decision to invade Afghanistan and Iraq was a poor one, we have been at war for more the 17 years and have lost many soldiers. It put American soldiers in needless danger.
The war against terror is different than the WWII mostly because we started the war on terror, it became an offensive fight rather than a defensive one. Especially since all the allies started this war together, led mainly by the U.S.
Vietnam is an entirely different thing on it's own, we should have never gone to Vietnam, we broke more then we fixed. If you want specifics about any of the reasons I'm talking about, you'll need to actually read so articles about all of these wars, the mentality behind them and the outcome can only be fully understood by reading about them.
