From Sony Thang:

The USA gave their citizens the world's most effective psychological defense mechanism:

The idea that American violence is always a response.
They never start it.
They were attacked at Pearl Harbor.
They were threatened by WMDs.
They were defending South Vietnam from Northern aggression.
They were protecting the region from Iranian influence.
They were responding to terrorism.
Always responding. Always defensive. Always reluctant warriors pushed into conflict by the aggression of others.
Never the ones who set the conditions.
Never the ones who funded the earlier coup.
Never the ones who imposed the embargo that created the desperation.
Never the first cause.
Always the response.

This story is a masterpiece of construction.
And it is completely false.

I haven't seen it yet. However, you can always try to reach out to him and ask.
