It never ceases to amaze me how soon the cause is forgotten and how many times they shoot the messenger. Had there been no protests against Viet Nam we would still be there, had there been none over Iraq we would still have no exit strategy. Yet those responsible for the larger number of deaths continue on unquestioned by the "SUPPOSED" authoritarian pundits.
Recently Iraq posing demands for US withdrawal on a set and timed level of withdrawal, and Obama still being shot down for mentioning such a drastic thought as a plan to ease the pain and save what little face the USA has in the world.
More is better in the case of resolving illegal and immoral wars , and the level of participation is most important. Unfortunately most Americans have no recall today of yesterday, let alone yester year, and so their cause is killing the messenger, over and over.
What an excercise in stupidity.
