I read liberal and conservative publications, Jager. How else to measure my own prejudices?

Dave doesn't read the "liberal rag" NYT but appears to have been directed to it by a conservative source offering a different interpretation of the NYT story.

Dave would have us believe the opposite of the NYT story posted, in part, above. It doesn't wash.

A country bearing open wounds of Vietnam should be wary of propaganda from any source i.e. the US must save the world from communism under Washington's Domino Theory ; stop it in Vietnam before it engulfs us all.

Another mistake: 55,000 American lives for barging into a civil war evolving from the Vietnamese kicking out their French colonizers. Ike warned accurately in his closing address to beware of the military-industrial complex.

Read everything you can get your hands on to maintain your interest in the world. Jager.
