Dsouza

Dsouza is saying in her essay that without the support of American citizens, America wouldn’t be near as strong of a country as it is now. The only war America didn’t win was Vietnam, and that’s because people didn’t necessarily know what they were fighting for or against. Americans get the motivation to fight from what the government tells them is happening, but if they aren’t informed or are confused, they won’t fight to their full potential. This relates to the book because Joe doesn’t know what he was fighting for, and that’s why he lost.
