One has only to watch the glorification of both WWI and WWII on the history channel to see they are both viewed from the same lens unlike other "wars". The public hated the "Huns", "Remember the Lusitania" being one of the slogans from then, felt that the soldiers fighting "over there" were doing the right thing just as they felt during WWII re the Germans and the Japanese.

Hindsight is always twenty-twenty even in writing after the fact and the horrible waste you write about was spoken about AFTER the war.
