Answer:
The answers to this statement would be: As the Vietnam War dragged on, civilian support for the war waned because many believed that the government was not telling the truth about the war.
Explanation:
The Vietnam War, also known as the Indochina War, did not have a clear established date for beginning, although American involvement in it did. Conflict in Vietnam initiated almost since the French decided to leave their colony and returned control of it to Emperor Bao-Di. In 1949, the state of Vietnam was recognized by the French and almost immediately, conflict began between the Emperor, and the Viet Cong, a communist faction in North Vietnam. During the Geneva Conference, in 1954, Vietnam was split into two, the North and South, and conflict continued. American involvement, then started with President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in 1955, in an attempt to offset the Soviet Union, who at the time had pledged their support and help to North Vietnam. After the war was fully exposed to the American public, and the fright towards the Communists dimished somewhat, when Americans saw the immense American casualties and the truths behind the reasons for the war, most started to retire their support to the U.S government and demand an end to their involvement.
