1. The US was winning the war.
2. The war will be over shortly; the communists are on the run (losing).
But everytime you turned on the TV, Westy (General Westmoreland) kept saying, "I need another 100,000 men, and we should be able to wrap this matter up." Westmoreland was a great commander, he was a WWII veteran, a paratrooper (airborne all the way) and did an excellent job in South Vietnam, but everytime that television went on...the news said, "more men...". By 1968 the US was drafting 40,000 men a month! Then Tet hit in '68, and no one believed Uncle Sam anymore.
