Iraq and Vietnam are both examples of populations resisting against a foreign military invading their country, thus having to deal with a population, and culture, they have no clue about. That's quite a different scenario than your own domestic government turning on you, with its way better understanding, and DATA, about the people of the country. In a situation like that, the state institutions will be taken over fully functional and turned against you, while in Iraq and Vietnam these state institutions were among the first to be dismantled by the invaders.
