"Why Iraq Was a Mistake" by Lieut. General Greg
Newbold (Ret.)

has this in paragraph two:

"In 1971, the rock group The Who released the antiwar
anthem Won't Get Fooled Again. To most in my
generation, the song conveyed a sense of betrayal by
the nation's leaders, who had led our country into a
costly and unnecessary war in Vietnam. To those of us
who were truly counterculture--who became career
members of the military during those rough times--the
song conveyed a very different message. To us, its
lyrics evoked a feeling that we must never again stand
by quietly while those ignorant of and casual about
war lead us into another one and then mismanage the
conduct of it. Never again, we thought, would our
military's senior leaders remain silent as American
troops were marched off to an ill-considered
engagement. It's 35 years later, and the judgment is
in: the Who had it wrong. We have been fooled again."
