I was against the Vietnam war...but maybe more so...in how it was fought.
If America went to war at all its only because we’re racist/xenophobes/homophobes/islamophobes and/or we wanted to steal their wealth.
THAT is the Howard Zinn spiel in a nutshell.
Bingo. I doubt they could realistically name one and explain it.
The sad part is that they were taught by communist, union teachers and the young skulls full of mush, learned very well.
Even my grand children, with conservative parents and grandparents on both sides, still need to be pulled back from the brink from time to time.
The grand kids are very good kids, but the swamp is all around them.
If a kid comes from a liberal home, they are pretty much lost or at least underwater.
I was young and now I’m older. We should have remained more like the Swiss. Nobody’s pissed off at the Swiss, and nobody dares to invade the Swiss. The only place you see Swiss troops outside of Switzerland is at the Vatican. And those troops have been wearing the same uniforms and carrying the same arms for about 500 years. (Joking sort of)
WND is an unreadable mess on mobile devices.
This is like someone saying they disagree with a particular formula in calculus.
“I think the solution is wrong,” they say.
“Oh, do you do much calculus?” they are asked.
“Calculus!” They reply. “Hell no, I don’t even know math. I still think it’s wrong, though.”
Really, a smart person would be embarrassed to try to answer a question about history when they don’t know any history.
They should just say “I don’t know.”
I can’t blame Howard. It’s a combo of the schools teaching hate America first (starting with 1st grade textbooks) and their parents who don’t care what their children are taught.
I rarely use them anymore after encountering the dreaded RED FATAL ERROR! notices I and some others got going there.
At least she knew that the Iran-Contra war came directly after WW2....
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Mexican War
WW1
Vietnam
Spanish American War
Were not justified based on the reason given at the time.
Saying otherwise is just coming off as being just as uneducated as the people in those videos.
Only about 10 brain cells combined in this group of students!
If you transported someone from 1910 to 2019 and didn’t tell them the details of the outcome of WWI or WWII, they would probably think that Britain, France, and Germany all lost and the Ottomans won.
Or we’re wagging the dog to distract the populace
so they don’t get woke and realize they need to ditch
capitalism.
WATCH: Students can’t name a single just war the U.S. has fought
College admittance test - - brain cells not required.
