Synopsis

This is the kind of graphic, in-your-face account of real war that outraged uberpatriots and caused no end of grief for the US publishing industry; so much so that editors and publishers are now too thoroughly intimidated by the military-rightist network to ever offer the like of it again. As with the defensive veil drawn over the WWII Wehrmacht by the German Army, American atrocities are now explained away as the rogue doings of a few undisciplined bad apples. But these accounts make clear that the doings at My Lai were conscious policy. The wilful amnesia demanded by the uberpatriot complex makes clear why the Abu Ghraib revelations took the country by such surprise. A glance at these interviews reveal 'tis but deja vu all over again.
