Liars

The U.S. government does not make war to win. If it should happen to win anyway, they'd have to find some other sap to pick on. Too much is lost by not being at war with someone who isn't a menace to us.

Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran James Glaser writes:

I saw a bumper sticker the other day which said "Bush Lied and Our Soldiers Died." I thought back to when I realized that my government had lied to me and that the lives of the 58,000+ Americans killed in Vietnam were lost because of lies.

He adds:

I never realized that Washington wasn’t trying to win the war, nor did I know the whole thing was started by a President lying to the American people about an attack in the Gulf of Tonkin that never happened.

It is hard to believe that our leaders in Washington could sit there and watch as thousands and thousands of Americans were getting killed and wounded every month. I remember in Da Nang, seeing body bags in rows next to the runway. Almost every day over there I saw somebody’s blood, be them American or Vietnamese.

As long as we have government, even a limited one, we're going to have "incidents" and lies that are used to erode our liberty. Check out some recent scholarship on Shays's Rebellion sometime.
