I've always found the quote he mentions by Hermann Göring to be very interesting in the context of our modern age:
"...voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
It's like he was writing the foreword for "The Idiot's Guide to War Propaganda"
Zinn's first book, La Guardia in Congress, won the American Historical Association's Beveridge Prize as the best English-language book on American history in 1959. He was a professor at Boston University for 40 years before the movie you mentioned was released. What is this "break" you mention?
"A People's History" is filled with citations, and is the finest book on American history ever written for the people.
Perhaps some of you wouldn't be so callous if you really understood what war means. It means 90% civilian victims. Limbs blown off. Babies decapitated. Mass homelessness. But you soulless people sit there in you unaffected world and talk about anti-Americanism. You've placated real values for a myth. May you never have to experience war you pathetic cowards.
Exactly. It's a case of Spectator Sport Warfare, as Gray puts it. Desensitization of the civilians to death, but sensitization of the military to military deaths, are but a few key reasons why Kosovo and Bosnia used more planes than the previous decade of warfare combined.
howard zinn has seen war first hand. he took part in bombing german cities. he woke up and thats why he is anti-war. whats everyones problem? honor and listen to this veteran of war ! Americans are so sensitive about their government which shows how brain washed they are. like the slave loving his master. your all fools!!!
They make the case to go to war because their god and master, that is, the devil requires human blood
The devil needs human blood to get more powerful
And the psychopaths who worship the devil feed themselves spiritually with human suffering
Separate yourselves from these "people" at least spiritually,because they've been judged and they've been condemned
You have not been judged, yet

Because only war can make you a man? Your own statement is hypocritical. Justify yourself.
