You're talking less than 20 years after we had just fought the "War to End all Wars".

What would you expect the politicians to say?

A LOT of relatively young guys were walking around without limbs or unable to breathe because of gassing.

There was STILL a very bad taste in the mouths of vets that had to BEG for their bonus...

War wasn't very popular at the time and it shouldn't have been.

Just like it would not be very popular for a politician today to say he wanted "boots on the ground" in the Middle East again.
