Gen Macnamara was frustrated with the politicians and said if given the men and munitions requested, he could win the war in short order. He was recalled to the pentagon and replaced by General Abrams. After a year or so, Abrams said the same thing. He was replaced and returned to the US. At least they named a tank after him.Politics cost the US a win in that war. It started in the Korean war and continued to the latest in the middle east. We will never win a war winning hearts and minds. War is to kill people and break things. Something our politicians won't allow, but Israel understands all too well.</blockquote>
