President Biden is considering sending several thousand US troops to the Baltics. On March 8, 1965 the first 3,500 US troops were sent to Viet Nam. This action received overwhelming support of the American people but by June the number of troops had risen to 82,000 and the generals were asking for up to 170,000 by the end of the year. In early 1966 a small but vocal anti war movement began. This time the support of the people is about half and those old enough to remember Nam are mostly not in that half. Some broadcasters like Tucker Carlson are strongly opposed to sending troops until someone in government can explain why this is needed to protect the United States. Polls show that 54% of democrats and 51% of republicans support sending troops. It is time to ask a lot of questions, things like what is the objective and what is the plan to achieve that objective and finally what would be considered a victory and is there an exit strategy.
