Burying Vietnam, Launching Perpetual War: How Thanking The Veteran
Meant Ignoring What Happened
By Christian Appy

http://www.countercurrents.org/appy090215.htm

From the Vietnam War, the Pentagon and its apologists learned fundamental lessons about how to burnish, bend, and bury the truth. The results have been devastating. The fashioning of a bogus American tragedy from a real Vietnamese one has paved the way for so many more such tragedies, from Afghanistan to Iraq, Pakistan to Yemen, and -- if history is any guide -- an unknown one still emerging, no doubt from another of those 133 countries
