That is the fact that the military is best suited for conducting
wars. Politicians are not. It is not the place of a politicians
to be involved in the decision making process in regards to war
or military strategy. The White House has significant control in
military matters. That control should be used to help the
military in achieving its goals as it was in the Gulf War where
George Bush said specifically to let the military do its job.
The only alternative to this is to use political influence in the

16 May 1996: n.p.ings about the
Vietnam War. Most authors studied the war at high echelons, but
neglected the morale of the buck privates and the effect of the
media in the Vietnam War. No military plan even by top
strategists in the White House could succeed if half of the
privates believed that they would be defeated before long. So why
should they go on fighting?
For years, I have been wondering how much the American public was
uninformed about the Vietnam War.
