Yes, American support for WWI is overstated today.

Any such discussion is meaningless without a timeline. Late 1914 was very different from early 1917.

Same as national support for war in WWII. September 1939 very different from January 1942.

Quite correct.

A good reason why leaders should be of good character and judicious judgment. The issues faced in the years after an election may not have even been discussed before the election.
