Bud Ad in Bowl

[Jeff Hughes]

I wasn't around for WWII, but it seems in my mind that was the last time 
everyone understood why we were sending troops to fight. Korea and 
especially Vietnam  were much less clear, with final outcomes that were 
mixed at best. I do have the ability to separate supporting the troops in 
Iraq from supporting the politicians and the thought process that sent them 
there.
