The US Marine Corps and the US Navy were not overly opposed to the war, operating in that region was no stranger to them. However with the United States Army and Air Force, they were EXTREMELY upset about the war. Asia is not the traditional fighting place for the US Army or US Air Force. Secondly, congress approved defense budgets for the construction of fast super-sonic jets and expensive battle tanks for the US Army...specifically for war in Europe (the old "Fulda Gap" war plan). Every Army and Air Force officer spent his whole career planning to fight the Soviets over the Fulda Gap (the planned and traditional invading place from the "bad guys"), and the rest of Europe. Half of the US Army was stationed in Germany (even Elvis Presley served there...as a Patton tank crewman!). The US Army and the US Air Force wanted to fight in Europe; that's where the money was being justified to be spent; that's where the high priced war equipment (tanks and aircraft) were being designed and built for war...EUROPE! By an ironic twist of fate: Every bit of those "Built for European War" machines, NEVER did get to fight in Europe. But they did fight in Asia TWICE! (Korean War & Vietnam War).
