10. excellent post
I especially liked the next-to-last paragraph. It reminded me of post-WWI Germany, where there was so much scapegoating by conservative Germans because they couldn't reconcile that the great German People had been defeated. It must have been the Jews, or the Socialists, or Communists, etc., who sabotaged the war effort; it must have! This guy Hitler sounds like he understands the truth....

Likewise, these RW vets can't believe that, as you said, not only were they lied to by their country regarding the reasons for being there, but they failed to win anyway. The accusations of the government lying about Vietnam must themselves be lies! We were trying to stop the spread of Communism; we would have been fighting them in Madison if we didn't in Saigon! We could have won! And we would have won if not for the New York (ahem, Jew) Liberals, or (Jewish) Hollywood, or the Socialist Left!

These people do honestly need therapy: they are victims themselves--but victims who go on to victimize others are still criminals.
