The Pentagon Papers

The Pentagon Papers only covered the period until 1968–when the fact is the war was won between 1968 and 1972, under Creighton Abrams–yet they have been used to justify for a half century, at least in part, our decision to abandon the South Vietnamese to an enemy they feared, an enemy which ripped millions of people from their homes and families, which killed outright several hundred thousand people, which physically and psychologically tortured most of the entire country in ways which no doubt continue to resonate in nearly home even today.

And the same policy which led us to abandon the South to their enemy caused us to abandon the entire region.  Not only South Vietnam suffered, but a case can readily be made that the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge would not have happened if we had remained staunch in our support of Lon Nol, rather than abandoning him, and his people, to a holocaust worse, proportionately, than that committed by the Nazis.  And not even the Nazis felt so morally superior that they felt the need to literally torture to death tens of thousands of people, electrocuting them in, oh I don’t know, the way John Kerry claimed, falsely, our own troops did.  They put electrodes on their genitals, but not to get information.  They simply shocked them over and over and over until they died.  Then they took their pictures.  If you look on the internet, and certainly relevant books, there are plenty of pictures of dead bodies.  They were proud of what they did, just as Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep, the media, and left wing lunatics everywhere are proud to justify the “heroic” decision to publish classified information in war time, in an effort to vitiate all the efforts of all our troops, and to surrender to the North.  Which is what happened.  They got what they wanted.

Fuck all these self righteous, ignorant pricks.  Fuck all these historically illiterate bastards and bitches.  Fuck all of the people who posture in front of us, but fail to read history, fail to learn from history, fail to admit their mistakes, and fail to realize the ROLE THEY HAVE PLAYED FOR HALF A CENTURY IN SUPPORTING HORRORS BEYOND IMAGINING.

I hate to do it, but I am going to throw out the 2 movies with Tom Hanks in them I own–Forrest Gump and Saving Private Ryan–and boycott him and Meryl Streep forever.  Fuck these people.  They may not realize it, certainly don’t want to realize it, but they have blood on their hands.  They are continuing the cover-up of what really happened in Vietnam, where nearly 60,000 brave Americans gave their lives, for nothing.  For absolutely nothing, and for nothing, because of the treasons of the Democrats, the Washington Post, and the anti-war Left, which is to say Communist patsies.  We KNOW from the published memoirs of the NVA Generals what happened.  The history is utterly unambiguous. 

Edit: I noticed Steven Spielberg was the Director.  I looked for movies of his too, but I don’t own any, other than Saving Private Ryan. He does pop films well enough, but has never created anything that was of more than passing interest to me.

Hollywood is really starting to disgust me at a visceral level.  Their complicity in violence, injustice, horror, and human misery is absolutely unbelievable. I like movies, but most of their output I can ignore easily enough.  They were not always completely batshit insane.  There are plenty of old movies I have yet to see, and a great many foreign movies as well.
