The CIA backed the invasion of the Syria, mostly in from SE Turkey directly to Aleppo. Al-Nusra (Al Quaeda) has starved the Aleppo population, beheaded children for going to school, you get the idea.... So ya, Aleppo is being liberated from those monsters. If you want to impose the U.S. mentality on the situation, well there's a kind of irony there, and I think using that Vietnam quote is more proganda in this case, more propaganda while Syrians are tortured by the Saudi, US, French, British and Turkish backed invasion.
