Many Americans have a hard time believing their own government could murder 3,000 of it's own citizens in order to engage in crazy, endless trillion-dollar wars and destroy the Constitution, privacy and civil rights.
Those Americans are either very fearful or very gullible -- or both.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6730757 They just aren't students of history, that's all. They're students of MTV, TMZ, UFC, and the rest of the bread and circus' that the oligarchs have unleashed.
Those who disbelieved in the Gulf of Tonkin incident were conspiracy theorists in the 70's, conspiracy theorists in the 80's and conspiracy theorists in the 90's. In 1995 though, conspiracy theory became conspiracy fact when McNamara openly admitted that the Gulf of Tonkin incident just did not happen.
The crew of two ships, the department of defense, the NSA, scores of high level Government officials, congress, and what had to have been dozens of navy officers all knew the truth about what happened that day. As many as 1,000 people, or even more, kept that secret.
With the secret kept, the United States proceeded to murder roughly 3 million Vietnamese, at the cost of 58,000 American service men dead, and hundreds of thousands wounded both physically and emotionally, spending billions in the process.
Those who say that secrets cannot be kept, are ignorant.
Those who say that the US Government (and others), will not create a false-flag incident to fuel wars that will kill millions of innocents, and send thousands of their own service men to slaughter while wasting billions of dollars - are ignorant.
