Since you put "user overwhelming force" in bold letters I thought you where stressing that point. Also even if the war was immoral (an idea that I don't agree with) that wouldn't make David's statement incorrect. - "There would have been no significant anti-war protests against Vietnam had we had competent leadership at the outset, used overwhelming force, had we had a clear commitment as to why we were there and known when the fighting would end. " - That is probably true. Moral or not the Vietnam war had decent support at first even without such clear information and immediate use of overwhelming force, or any idea of when the war might end. Read "Fire in the Lake". You mean amazon.com I'll consider it. But I have a lot of other things to read. Besides SI And magazines and newspapers which collectively take up most of my reading time I have a backlog of books. I am currently reading "More Guns Less Crime". Tim
