The beginning of the Vietnam war had no such split That is how I remember it too. I was of course, much younger, but the necessity of the army's mission was never a question. It became a question somewhat slowly. It was during Vietnam that I met my first Congressmen and Senators, and a host of state polititians. I learned that they had no great secret, no special knowledge. There are incidental facts that are kept behind doors, but the grand notions of our world are available to those who seek them out. Those decision makers make their judgement with mostly the same information available to anyone who seeks it out. That is when I learned that some, even many will make decisions based on what others don't know, even more than they make the decisions on what they actually know. This time I know it before the war, and I also understand again that those who have been elected are privy to little more than we can glean from world sources. Those elected to office cannot claim ignorance of the motives and intentions of the planned battle. It is our job as much as any to point out the obvious, so that it can never be claimed to have been unknown. TP
