Winning their hearts and minds in Vietnam
It didn’t work in Vietnam and it’s not working in Afghanistan either. What are they thinking? Destroying villages and killing non-combatants will just make the locals want to join an insurgency – or expose the CIA station head.
There was a time, just ten years ago, when I thought it all put away, safely in the closet, wounds scarred but sealed, and then someone had to go and start another one.
I hate that picture, as I hate the government who did this to her, and to me.
