2 pages - complete by Tuesday May 22

Look up both words in the title of the short essay. What do they mean?

The word dubious means to hesitate or to doubt and crusade means a campaign concerning a political, social, or religious issue, typically motivated by a fervent desire for change


Relate the title to the reading. What is Warren saying? How do you think this will relate to the rest of our study if Vietnam?

The author Warren is saying the conflict in Vietnam ended badly for the United States and left us humiliated, and because of it Americans began to doubt their government. This will relate to the rest of our study on Vietnam because it shows how America's pride and belief that we were invincible all disappeared and made Americans were no longer confident.
