It's been a long time, over 25 years ago now. I don't recall the exact

Bull****. The actual journals from many of the players weren't released that
soon. Therefore, what you read was fiction, opinion and conjecture.


I never said that what I read was an "actual journal". And actually
it was closer to 30 years ago, when I was still in school, and the war
was part of the course study.

It's interesting how revisionist history changes the perception of
those who read it.

What I read was old enough to still be fresh, yet not so old that we
forget certain things and lose sight of the original objectives.

It's easy after so many years, to spin the facts to look like they
were something that they weren't, especially when many of the major
players are now dead and can't refute them.

Nobody called Nixon a nutcase when he was still alive to defend it.
