How Does Public Opinion Track Foreign Policy?

Vietnam war casts a long shadow, mostly with older folks now. Every war that goes on more than a month, eventually a majority opposes. So you can only fool some of the people. Some of the time. We'd love to try to read the tea leaves, and are hoping that the future is more restrained. But the reality is the public is a little bit mushy on this stuff,. And very dependent on how elits talk about these things - i think.
