Vietnam: A
Soldier's Perspective:
Too many history
classes seem to start at the beginning and end with World War
Two. Occasionally, a teacher will teach a unit on Vietnam, but the war
today is still controversial. Moreover, most materials in textbooks
tend to view the anti-war side of Vietnam. They seem to encourage the
stereotypes created in the media. The movies, especially, have
created an extremely negative view of the Vietnam Veteran on whom the
loss of the war was incorrectly blamed. |
