Oh, What a Lovely War! Delusional US Foreign Policy could bring Disaster
The American people don’t know very much about war even if
Washington has been fighting on multiple fronts since 9/11. The
continental United States has not experienced the presence a hostile
military force for more than 100 years and war for the current
generation of Americans consists largely of the insights provided by
video games and movies. The Pentagon’s invention of embedded
journalists, which limits any independent media insight into what is
going on overseas, has contributed to the rendering of war as some kind
of abstraction. Gone forever is anything like the press coverage of
Vietnam, with nightly news and other media presentations showing
prisoners being executed and young girls screaming while racing down the
street in flames. http://www.globalresearch.ca/oh-what-a-lovely-war-delusional-us-foreign-policy-could-bring-disaster/5555752
