This is hot! If you have not read this paper published by Leonard Magruder you must. It is so darned powerful and gives a perfect analysis of the motives of the left during Vietnam and now.
Go to this url and read: http://www.i-served.com/v-v-a-r.org/VietnamAndTheMedia_part08.html
Then, read the letter written by Arthur Egendorf on page 74 of A New Soldier by John Kerry.
Arthur Egendorf was a Staff Sergeant (E6) in Saigon from April 1968-69.
Read the entire article. It is absolutely what we know and are trying to get the media to admit to.
Here is a partial quote:
“Following a semester of study of the Vietnam War last year, 240 of my students, after they had received their grades so the voting would be objective, voted overwhelmingly (85%) that in their opinion the war had been justified, that there was nothing wrong in trying to save South Vietnam from Communist tyranny. It was not, they agreed, the U.S. government that had misled the nation. The campus ‘peace’ movement, which said that the war was “immoral,” that the motive was “imperialism,” that the domino theory was “absurd,” that the war was only a “civil war,” that Ho Chi Minh was only a “nationalist,” and that America was engaging in “aggression” and “genocide,” misled the nation.
Puzzled as to why the students of this generation could see the truth so clearly, while those of the 60’s could not, the students concluded that faculties, to serve their own largely leftist and Marxist ideologies, had misinformed their students, who, in turn, used the misinformation to serve their own purposes, primarily to avoid the draft.
The ‘peace’ movement, the students decided, was never really concerned for peace. Although it cloaked itself in an aura of great moral purpose, it in fact gave aid and comfort to the enemy, marched under the flag of the Viet Cong, allowed Hanoi to dictate its agenda, and turned its back on the American soldier. When the soldiers returned, it tried to stereotype them, with the help of the media, as dupes or drug-crazed “baby killers.” That those who did all the suffering in Vietnam should on their return be asked to bear additional suffering at the hands of the very ones who had betrayed them, was, the students concluded, absolutely unconscionable.” _________________ Nomorelies Make a donation HERE |
