we can blame a president like lyndon johnson on richard nixon for getting with into the war o- having not gotten out as quickly enough. you can blame individuals in the media like walter cronkite for coming out for the first time in offer an editorial about 1968 observancive that supposedly changes ark of the conflict. or we can -- blame certain individuals in the antiwar movement like the most famous of jane fonda. but i would argue that both strangdz of this rockettive memory allow us to -- avoid some deeper issues with the american war many vietnam and deeper questions to all be asking. why isn't example throughout the conflict did we see ourselves as superior to vietnamese both north and south? how did this eliminate power abroad and perhaps most importantly was it moral and right for the united states to intervene in a civil war that in the end -- it was about one question one question only -- what did it mean to be vietnamese in a post colonial modern era? at the end of the day this was a civil war over vietnamese national identity. so to me to engage in retrospective most profi
