You think Vietnam had the support of the nation ?

It most certainly did -- until the incompetent leadership took us down the path of weakness. Once we realized that continued fighting and dying was not going to solve the problem, the support of the nation faltered.

America was firmly behind the Vietnam war at the outset. It was only after LBJ/McNamara failed to provide the military with the resources necessary to WIN the war that the support fell apart. I don't exclude Westmoreland, either.
