1965 - Vietnam War: The Pentagon Papers tells U.S. President Lydon B. Johnson that if planned operations are to succeed, the number of American troops in Vietnam has to be increased from 120,000 to 400,000 (Source)
"Vietnam is the Left's favorite war because America lost."
"Historical accounts of the Vietnam War are incomprehensible because liberals refuse to admit the failure of their national security strategy. The only important lesson from the Vietnam War is this: Democrats lose wars."
"In the great Democratic tradition of taking the nation to war without a plan to win, only the Democrats could have produced Vietnam."
"President Lyndon Johnson, who inherited the war when Kennedy was assassinated, viewed the Vietnam War as a method of proving the Democrats could be trusted with foreign policy, which they cannot."
"Nixon had been elected in part based on his promise to end the war honorably. He would have done so, too, but for Democrats in Congress,"
"A Republican President either wouldn't have started that war, or would have won it pretty fast."

Pilgrim's Progress - A Major Film Release - Second Most Important Book in History, by Pastor Kevin Swanson (2018)
"'But, brother,' said Mr. Great-Heart, 'I have it in my commission to 'comfort the feeble-minded,' and 'to support the weak.' You must needs go along with us: we will wait for you; we will lend you our help; we will deny ourselves some of the things, both opinionate and practical, for your sake; we will not enter into 'doubtful disputations' before you; we will be 'made all things' to you, rather than you shall be left behind." - John Bunyan (1628-1688).
This quote is from John Bunyan's book, Pilgrim's Progress. You can read, listen, and download Pilgrim's Progress for free by going to https://www.ccel.org/ccel/bunyan/pilgrim.html. I read that Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) read this book over 100 times during his lifetime. According to Wikipedia, Pilgrim's Progress has been translated into more than 200 languages, and has never been out of print!
