:: SDF: That's right, "Communist" atrocities in Vietnam were "premeditated barbarism," whereas US atrocities (see Douglas Valentine's The Phoenix Program for instance) are the result of "ignorance," and the coverup continues to this day to make sure we ignore them.

Actually Sam, we are a little too busy ignoring real issues like the Chinese nuclear theft scandal to heed the cries of such a novelist as Mr. Valentine. No doubt you have one of the 10 copies ever printed on this out of print masterpiece but seeing names like Valentine and Oliver among the 7 positive reviews helps me to form an opinion about the veracity of the book without being able to get one. Then finding that Elton Manzione is the southern regional coordinator for "Vietnam Veterans Against the War" after finding out he was never a Navy SEAL as he claims kind of makes a rational person suspect of the man's integrity. But should that not suffice in shedding light on perhaps one of the more biased people on this planet, perhaps a short description of one of Mr. Manzione's essays will. You see, Mr. Manzione's idea of poignancy apparently includes having a war hero stabbed by his own Silver Star in his dead legs. Vomitous tripe is that.

Sam, you're still at it, aren't you? Just as brainwashed and biased as you accuse me of being.
