Re: Viet Nam War

Oliver Stone seems to be the official mainstream mythological media gatekeeper for this subject does he not? The conscientious ivy-league undergrad dropped out in order to go to ‘Nam to see what was going on for himself (similar to Al Gore & John Kerry). I think he’s, in the least, one of the g...
