==People== The Vietcong ways of moving are different compared to Iraq and Afghanistan by a land slide. They had tunnels, holes, trails, and used the forests to move without being detected. The Ho Chi Minh Trail was one of the most popular ways to travel because they could move through other countries, and connect up with tunnels connected with rat holes. The from there they could pop up fire and disappear without the U.S knowing where it came from. The Iraqi, and the Taliban use a different style as well. The Iraqi radicals would just hide a bomb on them, or on a vehicle and go into a crowded area and explode the bomb. They all look the same so they don't have to sneak around. The Taliban use modern weapons against us, and when they lose there momentum they run and attack again later.

Goods
All three were/ are in a war so the goods part is not so good. The most common good moved were/ are weapons, ammunition, and depending on what the terrain is like drugs, fruits, vegetables, and oil. Violence in Iraq has fallen quite a bit since we got there so goods are coming out of there more than the other two. They are still shipping out oil, and crude materials. Vietnam did not really export or import anything during the war for many reasons. One reason is that we controlled most of the ports, cities, and air fields. Another is that they could only move safely in tunnels, on the Ho Chi Minh Trail because we had so many troops the Vietcong could not import or export much materials. Afghanistan's government is currently under control, but the Taliban are not backing down easily. Exports are much, and we are currently importing building supplies, weapons, ammunition, and soldiers mainly at the moment. Both the Vietcong, and the Taliban mainly use weapons left behind, and the Taliban use a lot of RPG's and AK-47's.

Ideas
The Iraqi radicals believe that we are evil, and it is there duty to get us out of the Middle East. They get recruits, but not many since there best weapon is blowing themselves up in crowded areas. That does not inspire people to join you if you terrorize them, plus we learned from Vietnam i believe to make sure we have some kind of good relationship with the native people. In Vietnam we did not because of the strict laws put in by the leader of South Vietnam who we supported, it actually led to people joining the Vietcong, and created militia to attack U.S troops in order to get the leader out of power. The idea of communism spread fast due to multiple reasons. One reason as I mentioned before was the strict laws none of the native people liked, and some of the laws were put in to make sure the leader did not lose his power. The northern half spread by using the Ho Chi Minh Trail, recruiting people to unify the nation, and the loose laws, and more free religious practices they allowed. The Taliban from Afghanistan just want to stay in power in Afghanistan. They came in power when Russia invaded Afghanistan in the 80's and to this day all they grew up in was war, fighting, and violence. That is all they know.

Conclusion
The Ideas, goods, and people in all three nations have there similarities, but they also have there differences. They all moved materials differently, and they tend to use the same type of weapons, and most of the time use the same tactics to fight, except the Iraqi radicals. The movements in all three nations have influenced/ are influencing how they fought, and how well they fight.
