You can probably relate to what I'm about to share.
When I was in high school in West Virginia in the late 70s, we learned about Pancho Villa. Our teacher taught us about his attack on Columbus, New Mexico. He read an account of the raid and how it was repelled; the Americans there used weapons ranging from a machine gun to a baseball bat. I remember feeling proud of the Americans who fought back; Pancho Villa seemed to be be nothing more than a thug and a bandit.
Within the last few years, I visited the high school where my wife is the school librarian. (We live in Austin, Texas.) Some "exceptional" student compositions were on display in one hallway. One of the compositions praised Pancho Villa as being a great man and a hero.
How times have changed.

I stumbled onto this by accident, media is keeping it on the backburner. As usual comments tell more than the story itself. Gee, I wonder why. Jerry
