Times of Change - Dubious Crusade

A Dubious Crusade: Look up both words in the title of the short essay. What do they mean?

Dubious means doubtful, Crusade means the defense of a belief or idea.

Relate the title to the reading. What is Warren saying? How do you think this will relate to the rest of our study if Vietnam?

He is saying that the war in Vietnam was doubtful or that the outcome might not be good. By going to Vietnam they were defending the belief of democracy but they might not succeed.
