The Pentagon Papers had a context, a very large and militant anti-war movement. There is no evidence that they _directly_ changed anyone's mind; they gave some added vigor to the movement, and they _may_ have shifted the perspective of some of those who were already marginally active. They did nothing by themselves.

They didn't keep us out of Iraq or Afghanistan.
