Many, particularly Bushites, seem to support the notion that during a time of war, citizens should 'get behind the leader' and offer their support.
Imagine if this principle had been enacted during WWII and the British people had 'got behind' Chamberlain.
We would have had no Churchill, Britain would have lost the Battle of Britain, the US would have sued for peace and the world's Jewish population would be lost.
This notion of supporting the leader regardless at a time of war is a plain fallacy.
