I don't see how you go from having a lack of public support (I'm assuming you mean stateside) to making the mission harder in iraq or vietnam.
Now if you're talking about lack of public support in those countries, you're definitely on to something. Our mission in vietnam was made more difficult because we were propping up a corrupt dictator who's only good merit was that he was a capitalist. In Iraq we aren't getting public support for hundreds of different reasons, some good, some bullshit.
