No. No, it has not. And you have a -very- bad habit of speaking as some sort of authority on everything from religion to history to science. How many phd's do you have?
Perhaps you would like to enlighten us on exactly what was accomplished in Vietnam? Tens of thousands of American soldiers and considerably more Vietnamese and Cambodians were killed. But what exactly did we accomplish? Was America made any safer? The war failed to contain communism in Southeast Asia (if such containment were ever even necessary). The war failed to address any impending threat to American security or sovereignty (as there wasn't any). The war failed to prevent the oil embargo and economic recession (because these were based on arguably more important American interests elsewhere in the world). The war failed to prevent the introduction of the Ford Pinto and the Chevy Vega and eventual rise of disco. What exactly did it accomplish? Maybe you should some day bother coming up with some explanations before you just start screaming, "You're wrong!"
