The same effect was observed in men who served in Vietnam. Soldiers in a war zone, in actual combat, have tunnel vision in their daily focus on survival. They do not have time, nor should they spend one moment on, making observations about the tactical or strategic value of their mission. To do so invites death and dismemberment.
Lots of guys "adopted" views of the combat they were involved well after the time they were actually in it, none of those views have any additional validity over those of people making dispassionate and objective evaluations of the events or actions.
