I remember getting into an argument about the myth of Vietnam war vets getting spit on with my lib family members once. That shit is engrained deep.

I have had to explain to two separate people this year that POW/MIA was entirely made up to get people to vote for Nixon. Thankfully that brainworm is easier to kill now (it's been 60 years, Vietnam is on good terms with the US, where exactly are they supposed to be, etc).

Where can I learn more about this?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can't remember the source I found at the time, but even libs are onboard so it's not that hard to find stuff. Here's one article, though it's not especially scholarly.

Thanks, comrade

I've found the fastest way to dispell this is point out the law passed requiring these flags to be flown over post offices is less than a decade old.
