"It taught the military a very important lesson that I think it has begun to forget in some ways, that it could not fight an unpopular war.The military doesn't decide which wars to fight in, Uncle Dumbass.
It's a good thing CBS and Cronkite weren't around during The Revolutionary War. That war wasn't very popular either.

No less an authority than Jimmah Cahtah himself said the Revolutionary War was a silly exercise.

Anybody know of any "popular" wars? Only a senile old moron like Wally Crankcase would think there is something called a "popular war." I know there is no one who has served in the military who can give you the name of a "popular" war. ALL wars are "unpopular" with those who have to fight them.
