All wars are popular for the first thirty days

I find this quote means that at the beginning of the war, people have interest, however they will be slightly spoiled by knowing a part of tragic fact or situation of the war as time goes by.
First, whoever shows interest with motivate in the war for their victory at first, therefore people fight or support for it. For example, soldiers who obey the orders of their superior officers the most likely victims as it progressed. Then they see all the death and destruction directly. On the other hand, another victim who is grieving families of their soldiers and the citizens wish even more the ending of the war when it starts.
Still the war have momentum people do not feel mental pain, however they face reality of it, they can not pay attention anymore. I believe that any kinds of war and in all ages, people will be disenchanted with the war.
