Yep. Excellent depiction.
As a survivor of the indoctrination, and a participant in the "glorious and righteous" Vietnam War, I can verify the insanity of it all.
Lots of this stuff , especially during war times , to get the populace behind the war . People are still mad about the resentment about the Vietnam War , the protests against the war , and the way our military were treated when they returned to the States . Strangely , they're also angry about the way Nickson pulled us out of the war .
