What strikes me after reading Zinn was the 1968 My Lai massacre. It seems that these actions by the United States were like a \u201cjust because\u201d action; no real meaning to methodically kill women, children, and elders. The part that really makes me question the United States and truth-telling is that the United States tried to cover up killing innocent women, children, and elders. Considering that only one officer was convicted of this crime just shows the idea that the United States tries to cover up and hid a lot. There were other incidents of killing that made it seem that the Americans generals really did approve of and support the bombing of the civilians.<\/p>\n

Seeing that Nixon campaigned to and promised that he\u2019d end Vietnam was semi-promising. We see that yes, he did remove troops out of Vietnam over his time in office, but he continued the military\u2019s policies; bombing civilians\u2026 \u00a0He didn\u2019t end the war in Vietnam he just made Americans believe that\u2019s what he did. What concerns me, in the end, is how many military unknowns are there? What is still being covered up? Will we ever understand what the United States is telling us, versus what they aren\u2019t telling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
