Has every American president made huge mistakes in wartime?

Question

Most wartime presidents saw polls in the teens while in wartime due to the nature and unpredictability of war in general.

Yet history remembers them as visionaries and heroes.

Tell me sure the has-Japan and Germany
Terrorist have declared war on us and the countries that continue funding them must be toppled.

Cassandra- Iraq was the country to invade with recieving the least US casualties. A free Iraq are the extremist government of Iran's worst nightmare

Then if the task was completed Bush would ba a visionarey. so start supporting the war effort so America could come out on top.

Jeff- Iraq is the keystone in defeating the two largest terrorist supporting nations of Iran and Syria. Thus reducing the Number of American casualties in the long term. It was the next logical step in winning the war on terror.

Dark it is what is achieved in the long run. Too bad the far lefts thirst for power outwieghs their thirst for what is best for America. Eventually the current left wing leaders will be exposed for what they really are. It is just a matter of time. They have used things that Bush can't speak of at present at present due to wartime secrecy. Shame on them and it will befall our country as a result.

Answer 1

Yep . Every one of them .

Answer 2

This is not true:

Polls weren't around in Teddy Roosevelt's time (spanish American War) but they were in Woodrow Wilson's (WW1).

So after a little research I found this:

WW1 - Woodrow Wilson - Rating between 76% - 84% - Victory
WW2 - Franklin Roosevelt - between 72% - 84% - Victory
Korean War - Harry Truman - between 54% - 28% - Stalemate
Vietnam - Lyndon Johnson - between 74% - 46% - Incomplete
1st Gulf War - George Bush - between 61%-50% - Incomplete
2nd Gulf War - George W Bush - 63%-38% - Ongoing

You'll notice by the public polls that Americans knew a losing or stalemate war before history had declared the winner. I've listed Vietnam and the 1st Gulf war as incomplete because the original objectives of both were never fulfilled.

The only folks considered as Visionaries and Heroes above are Franklin Roosevelt and in diplomatic circles Woodrow Wilson.

Answer 3

Not necessarily true. Nixon will always be remembered for losing Vietnam, and Johnson will always be remembered for starting Vietnam. Recheck your question, war doesn't make man a hero, it's what takes place during war.

Answer 4

Bush's approval ratings are the lowest ever of any sitting president, wartime or not ! ! !

By the way, Bush has never declared war, so how can this be wartime?

.

Answer 5

There's a difference. There has never been a time when America has intervened in another country's civil war and shoved a "democracy" down their throats.

It flies in the face of what democracy is and is supposed to be.

Answer 6

there's mistakes in war and then there's invading the wrong country! there's mistakes in war and then there's lying a great nation into a sordid mass murder so your buddies can steal. billions in hundred dollar bills...

Answer 7

its not a war....its an invasion....nobody attacked us....911 had nothing to do with inocent people in iraq.....it was U.S. LED INVASION ...as Canadian news media puts it...
