A lot of current leaders in the U.S. watched the Viet Nam War with skepticism.

...As the war continued and casualties mounted on both sides, many could see how worthless it was for the United States. The Iraq War was very similar. What did those wars prove? (other than companies can make a lot of money selling "war materials." These two wars in one way show how useless "war" is. They did not attempt to "Save the World" as World War II did. Viet Nam & Iraq proved how "useless war is." We know that. Bone Spurs Donnie doesn't know that. (and it looks like he doesn't care.)

2. Not my recollection.

Everybody was all on board the Cold War Commie Containment Express Train until shit started unraveling at home. It was 300 of our kids dead every week and the people out in the streets that forced our 'leaders' to have another think.

3. Additionally

Useless men who avoided the first war, started the second one.
