One might add that having engaged and fought several wars that lasted decades and each ending in less than desired outcomes and all not effectively explained by the Government as to exactly why they had to be fought...then not fought with the full mobilization of the population and our economies....with generations of war fighters who felt betrayed by the politicians.....that might explain the critical views held by the young today. Surely, their family members who did serve and learned the reality of limited war and the lack of forth rightfulness of the national leadership.....and the gross failures of the military leadership to challenge the civilian leadership re ensuring proper goal setting and strategy proves young folks today might be a bit wiser than than their years.
