But interestingly, as I pointed out somewhere, the very first Iron Man was located in Vietnam, at the beginning of the war. In it, Iron Man defeats a model of an NVA terrorist leader.
Marvel knew then what was subsequently forgotten as a result of the diligent efforts of leftist “scrubber”: that the war consisted in vicious men infiltrating from the North, terrorizing small villages until they agreed to support them with food and troops, and a systematic expansion from these bases of assassination and terror directed nearly ENTIRELY against civilian targets. Women were raped and killed in front of their husbands. Young girls were tied to trees to die of thirst and exposure. Flame throwers were used against grass and wood huts. Village and government leaders were shot in the streets.
All of the evils that Captain America fought in World War Two, mythically, were amply present in the two shooting wars we fought with the Communists in Korea and Vietnam, but TO THIS VERY DAY people do not understand how awful Communism was and is. It is really shocking. Obviously, I deal with the whys and hows of this nearly daily, but even now it shocks me how complacent those who should know better are in countenancing and even defending evil.
Even today, the Left is trying to portray the take-over of the Middle East by Fascist thugs as somehow good. Men are being crucified. Little girls are being beaten, or, alternately, married off to 50 year old men when they are 10, in the tradition of the “Prophet”. Women accused of adultery are stoned. None of this is good. It is “unholy” in a very formal sense. These people WILL be punished when they die, because they KNOW on some level they are committing evil acts.
I believe in God, and I believe that He put within us an innate sense of right and wrong. What undermines that sense is EFFORT. You have to work at it. You have to adopt an ideology which allows you to turn off your intuition, your own judgement, in favor of a rigid behavioral code. Prepubescent girls should not be forced to have old men humping them. No one can defend this.
But the Left does, typically by turning a blind eye.
