A noun used by War-in-Iraq naysayers to compare it to Vietnam, mostly because so many men have died and there appears to be no clear way out. Another example is that of the fact that, like in Vietnam, none of the soldiers are able to distinguish who is good and who is bad.
To experience a fear similar in nature to PTSD (usually felt by ex-military) as a result of one's environment or surrounding imitating that of Iraq, or a similarly scary location.
