Harris survey shows support for limited wars and South Korea aid
A Harris survey of 1,428 households finds 66 percent support stopping aggressors, 60 percent do not view war as morally wrong, and a 42 percent plurality backs fighting limited wars to honor commitments. Support for aiding South Korea and possible U S troop use in limited wars remains similar to Vietnam-era debates.
