I agree with Nick. The United States was fighting in unfamiliar territory and was not even really aware of the real enemy. The American soldiers were killing innocent women and children which defeated Johnsons plan of a fine tuned battle with a minimum life loss on both sides. Death was clearly not a minimum if villages were being invaded and children were being killed. Another good point that Nick brings up is the loss of support from the Americans at home. They could see the war at first hand with the new television technology and seeing what was going on. The lack of support from home did not help the soldiers when fighting.
