We need to get on with winning it. People will endure restrictions for a purpose and as long as they see a serious effort to defeat the enemy they will put up with it. But nearly half the country thinks there is no war on at all and is not eager to bring matters to a conclusion which will result in the worst of worlds: sacrifice wihtout apparent purpose and indefinite restriction with no light at the end of the passage.

[gilliam]

the country doesn't feel the war because they are not being asked to make sacrifices. Right now only military families are sacrificing. I don't see a change in that unless there is a major catastrophe, and I don't really wish that.

This will be a very long war, time to get use to it.
