Hearts and Minds (the film)

Photo: the wrecked framework of the Museum of Science and Industry as it appeared shortly after the the dropping of the atomic bomb in 1945.
That bomb *fell on the US* too, a reminder how the Western world can think less of the East. I recall general Westmoreland’s comment: “The Oriental doesn’t put the same high price on life as does a Westerner. Life is cheap in the Orient.” – presented in the film Hearts and Mind – as a sobbing V. woman is restrained from climbing into the grave after a coffin.
