seaver: i'd probably not have mentioned your post in another context. but in this one, i think it functions as i argue it does. the response you post concerning vietnam is at the (mythological) core of the historical narrative that lay behind how the meme "support our troops" is currently used.
maybe you'll see what i mean by my take on your post if you read through the thread at a bit of a remove. that's how i worked out my argument. what do you think?
