• https://youtu.be/SRR2eQn6pRg?si=Y4tgn702aElytABq

Explain why it might have been difficult for the United States to have won the war.

Tips

• Those interviews occurred some years after the war.  Imagine that they were contemporary to 1967-1968.
• Of course we understand that a limitation of this paper is that it is describing only two experiences that could align or contradict.
• You can do outside research, but your evidence should come from the interviews.
