1. I wish I could. I can't. I cry for days . . .

[radio4progressives]

2. i know - but sometimes we have to force ourselves in order to remember

because Lyn Cheney, the Minister of Disinformation and Propaganda Department is also on the board of the Department of Re-Education and is overseeing the reconstruction and revision of United States History Text Books for grades K-12.

It's important that we remember our real history including little known details so that we can counter the lies and disinformation that has been manufactured and will be the "official" history in text books in the public schools throughout America.

we have to do this for the benefit and sake of future generations...

[flamin lib]

3. I can't forget.

I was bloggin' when bloggin' wasn't cool. Back before the Internet. Back when all we had was 96 baud modems and bulletin boards. Back when we walked to school, through the snow, barefoot, up hill, both ways. And we liked it.

It was about 1982 that I was taken to task by a twenty-something about my obsession with the Vietnam war. The war had ended almost a decade before and she was incensed that I still held it so close, that it was such a big deal to me. She said I should just get over it. She didn't understand why Vietnam was so damn special.

So I told her about Vietnam.

I told her that Vietnam wasn't just another war. It was a time of change. A time of innocence lost. It was a time when our country was divided, half screaming "America, Love It or Leave It" the other shouting "Change It or Lose It" and neither side hearing the other. It was half a million soldiers in Vietnam and half a million protesters in Washington DC.

It was the first time that Americans had to come to terms with real defeat. A defeat not at the hands of a superior force or a mightier army but at the shear will of a people who simply would not quit. A defeat that touched every community no matter how small. A defeat that came into our living rooms on the six o'clock news every night. A defeat that brought a flag draped coffin into every village, every town and every community in America. A defeat that ended with a black obelisk inscribed with the names of more than fifty thousand fallen souls.

It was more than a war, it was a mistake.

A mistake based on lies. A mistake that killed fifty thousand Americans and three million Vietnamese. It was a mistake that lasted ten years. A mistake that dropped five hundred pounds of high explosives for every man, woman and child living in that tiny country. A mistake that poisoned the forests and water. A mistake that left us all asking "Why?"

I told her that if we all held this memory close, that if we just remembered how badly things can go, that if we just remembered that we were once lied to and that if we hold those who lead us accountable maybe, just maybe, her children wouldn't have to fight a war like we did.

I guess they all forgot . . .

4. poignant, brilliant and powerful.....

sorry it's taking so long to respond.. first opportunity to sit at computer.. when i checked "my du" i clicked on your response, it really touched me to my core. if you are not a writer by profession, you should be and you should take this very topic, because we are experiencing a generation lost - a whole generation (actually almost two generations who have no inkling - and now i understand why the old axiom "those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it" is far more than a tired cliche, it is a truism that unlike any other time is the reality of the day. Indeed, they have all forgot.
