Is Vietnam stronger than your country?
Vietnam was one tough nation from the end of the Vietnam War until their combat experienced men began retiring out...the same as with any nation. So, whenever the last of their combat experienced men left, that was the beginning of their decline in power (again, the same as with any nation). Therefore, in the 21st century; no, Vietnam is not stronger.
Is someone who served in Vietnam and Desert Storm considered a combat veteran?
That depends on where you were and what you were doing. If you received any awards specifically for combat service, you certainly are considered a combat veteran. If you were assigned to units that went into combat, that will also establish it. Your DD-214 should actually reflect time in combat.

I know rangers have to be jump qualified but do they do combat jumps on a regular basis at least for this current war?
As far as I know, only two combat jumps have occurred since the GWOT began in 2001. The first was Operation Bright Star in 2001 in Afghanistan, in which 147 Rangers made a combat jump into Afghanistan. The other was Operation Option North in 2003 in Iraq, which involved 1,000 jumpers drawn from the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and US Air Force's 18 Expeditionary Force. That jump was more a matter of posturing than necessity, however - the airfield was already secured by the time the jump occurred, and was more than capable of handling any aircraft necessary. Before 2001, there hadn't been any combat jumps made since Desert Storm, and only 12 jumps (which seems to me to indicate only 12 personnel) were credited for that one.

Did any scientific p programs come about because of the Vietnam war?
1. The SAGGER and TOW anti-tank missiles were first deployed in the Vietnam War (1972 to be exact). 2. Today's UAVs (Combat Drones) can trace their current success to the over 5,000 combat missions flown by Ryan's Firebees and Fireflies over the skies of North Vietnam and Red China during the Vietnam War. Ryan's UAVs are even credited with downing a couple of NVAF MiGs!
