The depth of the deception was remarkable. 58,000 dead, hundreds of thousands physically wounded, who knows how many mentally wounded and in the end Gerald Ford, knowing he had no chance of winning the 1976 election after pardoning Nixon said "fuck it."
And now we are doing the same shit in Afghanistan.
We NEVER learn. We deserve whatever we get.
I caught most of Wednesday's episode, about the "Vietnamization" and Vets Against the War movement. At one point one vet was saying, "We had to show what was going on so it didn't happen again." I couldn't help myself blurting out, "Yeah, so how'd that work out for us?"
It was really heart-breaking television and I'll definitely be watching the entire series soon.
