Over at The Inverted World, The Realist has penned an important essay on the mythic War in Vietnam that for almost forty years has crowded the real war out of the public view, “Vietnam and the ‘Whites as Cancer’ Myth.” The Realist makes quick work of the two most pervasive Big Lies that have become public dogmas, thanks to the socialist MSM and SCW (socialist-communist-whatever) higher ed.
… the first is that American soldiers regularly committed war crimes against the Vietnamese that were covered up, and the second is that the burden of fighting the war fell disproportionately on American minorities.
The essay continues the campaign begun with The Realist’s opening salvo, “The Inverted World,” where he first attacked the “whites as cancer” myth set loose a generation ago by Susan Sontag, who currently occupies a special circle in Hell. The Realist has continued his onslaught through “The Realist Vision,” “The Truth about Human Nature,” Utopia and Its Scapegoats, and now, “Vietnam ….”
It looks someone’s writing a book … or ought to be.
I'll take a look as all things relating to Vietnam interest me.
