The war seemed to be purely a meat grinder for American GIs, as we watched decision makers continually seem to be deliberately avoiding winning or taking the war to the enemy. They were always finding a way to stop anything that appeared to work, or to use common sense war strategies. Over time the war became a mystery, we couldn't figure out what our government had in mind, or what their goals were, or what the purpose was.
I bet most here would be surprised to learn about the approval polling for the war, by age groups.
