¤ Alternative Views 316. THE PERFECT WAR: TECHNOWAR IN VIETNAM (PARTS I) (1987) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternat... http://tinyurl.com/3tmqruh
In the first of a two-part series, we make an in-depth analysis of the Vietnam war with Dr. Bill Gibson, Sociology professor at Southern Methodist University and author of "The Perfect War: Technowar in Vietnam (1986)" The program proceeds at two levels: the first is the analysis of the basic nature of the war at the macro stratum of the planners--the politicians and generals--and the lowest level of the common soldier. The result provides not only a fresh, new insight into the causes and nature of the war, but also a gut-wrenching feeling for the life and feelings of the fighting men. Gibson maintains that the war was designed and managed like a factory, with the higher ranking officers being the managers and the ordinary soldier being the workers. The product was body count. The result was soldiers being used as ambush bait on search and destroy missions and the Vietnamese civilians being subjected to continuous atrocities. The emphasis by the Americans was on the use of sophisticated technology which was not just ineffective in bringing American victory, but was irrelevant in fighting a popular war of national liberation which was mainly political.

It tells the story of a man who's booked a First Choice All Inclusive holiday. He goes from home-to-plane-to-hotel in a dreamlike celebration amid much high-fiving and cheering from friends, fellow customers and First Choice staff. Playing in the background is Flo Rida's top 10 hit, Good Feeling.
The whole ad is based around the feel-good factor you get when you go All Inclusive. It's that peace of mind that everything's included in the price -- flights, transfers, accommodation, food and drink. Because our main man has paid upfront, he can indulge, safe in the knowledge he won't be forking out every five minutes or constantly counting the pennies.

The greatest response ever to a university challenge question. Has one man, ever been so proud to say the words "Girls Aloud"? I think not. Sorry about the disgustingly bad quality of this video.
This video is not intended to mock Mr Pugh. It is just to show what a wonderful man he is and how dedicated he is to his knowledge. Please do not leave any harmful comments towards Mr Pugh, he is our hero!
