We do this to increase the confidence of the brave people of South Vietnam who have bravely born this brutal battle for so many years with so many casualties.

Well, I didn't read My Day by Eleanor Roosevelt very carefully. I was away during a lot of that, in the war and so on. She was not all that good a writer.
