Interesting observation about “shame”.

I was always thinking it might have been our treatment of the Vietnam military .. spitting on them, etc.

There was no outcry or “shame” attached to such actions.

However, most conservatives took the opportunity during the Iraq war to make sure our military were never treated that way again.

I’m really interested in the “Progressives” too. It’s primarily because I’ve always been an admirer of Teddy Roosevelt, but I’ve since heard that he was actually a “Progressive” .. and I want to read this book and find out the truth.

Of course, there might be other books which don’t tell the same story about Teddy, but this book was recommended to me by a staunch conservative .. so I’m inclined to believe it may be more accurate.
