When what feels like forty-six light-years ago I got back from Vietnam, I never would have believed that, this deep into the 21st Century, we’d still be worshiping at the clay feet of War Heroes. It’s kind of embarrassing, really, this nationwide learning disorder of ours. It’s like all the millions of dead Indochinese, Americans and everybody else never existed; like the Korean War and WW2 never happened.
