Have you read 1984? If so, no, I don't trust military teachers on this one. I put my faith in independent historians. Fact, the US dropped more bombs on Vietnam than they did during WWII.

No, but he has. He's a big fan actually, and always references it.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
