THE BDM CORPORATION<br />

LESSONS<br />

<strong>The</strong> American people have demonstrated that in spite of<br />

declining support for the war over time, they are willing<br />

to follow the president's leadership in specific<br />

crises when decisive and positive actions are taken.<br />

A clear and certain presidential commitment to a particular<br />

foreign <strong>policy</strong> is essential to achieving public<br />

support for such policies.<br />

Positive results are required fnr maintaining a high<br />

degree of popular support for US commitments to war or<br />

to contingency operations. In the absence of obvious<br />

success, American public support tends to decline<br />

gradually over time as casualties and other costs<br />

mount.<br />
