Peter Arnett attributed that quote to an unidentified Army officer.

Meanwhile, back at the WH, President Lyndon Johnson said this privately: “I don’t think it’s worth fighting for and I don’t think we can get out. It’s just the biggest damned mess.”

Sound familiar? All too familiar, unfortunately.
