"Editorial: The Genius of the American People – 6" We've heard it said that many Americans were expecting a short, relatively bloodless war.
This editorial says the opposite: that Americans are expecting and prepared for "a long and bloody war".
I doubt if any wet realize just how long & bloody it will become.
