    Yankees really lived through Afghanistan and Iraq and learned about Vietnam and still think they are being given accurate narratives of state enemies now. I had hoped by now we might see even the most rudimentary skepticism of US media but alas.

        No one was held accountable and many of the people who lied then are still in power, but I’m sure we’re good this time!
