The Propaganda Machine and Historical Memory
Interesting article today in The New Republic Online, by Rick Perlstein http://www.tnr.com/doc.mhtml?i=w070122&s=perlstein012507 that illuminates something that has become a real problem for the body politic known as liberals or progressives.
The whole "support the troops" propaganda machine has been so co-opted by the right that we can't have a decent discussion about the role of the military, the legitimacy of when to go to war or anything remotely related to the military-industrial complex without fear-mongering and false notions of patriotism being thrown in our faces.
Will we ever learn?
