Keeping You Thinking...

In the Mueller reading on tuesday, the author addresses many potential negatives of a war and the potential strains on public opinion that could occur, stating that "compared to world war 2, the enemy is less obviously 'evil', progress in battle is more difficult to measure and comprehend, the american entrance into the war is less easily rationalized, and the end of the war is more likely to prove puzzling and unsatisfying". Due to all of the ill effects of partaking in a war some would say that the U.S. wasn't meant to fight, would you say that the U.S. involvement and war in general is a necessary and efficient means of solving a conflict in a situation like in vietnam?
